Unwanted

The alarm goes off and you stumble out of bed. The scene cuts and you are dressed for work and walking into the kitchen for breakfast.

John: Hey! Good morning!

Michelle: Oh, um, hi...

John: Want some eggs?

Michelle:*looks at the charred eggs and is disgusted* Uh, no thanks.

John: Ok. It's your loss.

Michelle: *Makes tea and grabs an apple and sits down to read the newspaper*

John: What are you reading? *Walks over to read over your shoulder*

Michelle: *annoyed* The newspaper.

John: Ah cool cool...

They both sit there for a while and Michelle keeps glancing over her shoulder, annoyed, at John.

Michelle: Aren't you cooking eggs?

John: Oh yah. Thanks for reminding me man. You're a real pal.

Walks over to eggs.

Michelle: *looks at watch* Well, I better get going.

John: Oh wait! Can you drive me somewhere?

Michelle: I need to lea-Ugh where do you need to be driven.

John: To Coffee Octopus.

Michelle: What? Why? Can't you just walk there?

John: Yah but I'm feeling really tired today and you have a car so...

Michelle: Fine ok whatever!

John: Oh, and you'll need to drive me back too.

Michelle: Ugh. Just-Lets go

Cuts to being at Coffee Octopus. Michelle is waiting in the car and impatiently looking at her watch.

Michelle: I'm going to be late again! I swear if he doesn't hurry up I'll-

John: *opens the door*

Michelle: Finally! Get in!

John: Hold your horses! I need to grab some napkins!

Michelle: Why didn't you get some while you were inside!

John: My hands were full! I'll just be a second! Don't worry! I'll be right back!

Michelle: *mutters* That's what you always say...

John: *shuts door*

Scene cuts to three minutes later.

John: *opens the door*

Michelle: What took you so long!

John: They had free samples and I was hungry.

Michelle: Didn't you eat breakfast!?

John: Nah I ended up not really wanting eggs. Now that you mention it, I think I may have left the stove on...

Michelle: Ugh! John! I-I'll be late again if I don't head to work right now!

John: Or did I...I can't remember.

Michelle: John! Are you even listening?

John: What? Sorry, I wasn't listening.

Michelle: Ugh! We don't have time for this! You're walking home!

John: What? But I'm tired!

Michelle: Yah. And I have a job that I need to be at in 15 minutes! You're walking!

John: But-

Michelle: Get out!

John: Oy ok!

John gets out of the car and starts walking away. Looks back at Michelle and she glares at him and he turns back.

Cuts to Michelle pulling into the driveway.

Michelle walks in.

John: *Yells from the living room* Oh Michelle! You're home! Can you get the remote! It's on the coffee table and I don't want to get up.

Michelle: *Doesn't respond*

John: *Confused* Did you hear me? Is something wrong? Did something happen?

Michelle: Did something happen? Are you really that clueless?!

John: What?! I seriously don't know.

Michelle: *sighs* Every single day you take advantage of me. Ever since that break-up of yours, you've turned into a man-child who can't do a single thing on his own. That was 4 months ago John! 4 months! Get-Over it!

John: I-I'm sorry. I didn't realize-

Michelle: How could you be so ignorant! Everyday you grow more and more annoying. You act like I'm your personal servant who will grant your every wish but I'm not! I'm your best friend! At least, I used to be.

John: *stares confused and sad* I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened to me. I promise I'll make it up to you!

Michelle: You want to make it up to me, John? Well, then leave! Leave this house! When you lost everything I offered you a home. I offered you a temporary place to stay but you just took advantage of that and never left! A week turned to a couple weeks turned to a month turned to 2 months. John, I lost my job today because of you. Let that sink in. You are a parasite feeding on my life. Taking everything good from it and leaving it to die. John, if you want me to forgive you, then leave. * points to the door*

John: I-ok. I'll leave. Let me just pack my stuff and-I'll be gone.

John leaves the room but then comes back.

John: Oh, and by the way, it probably doesn't mean anything now but I didn't leave the stove on. I turned it off.

Michelle: John.

John: Ok ok.

Michelle goes into her room and flops onto her bed and sighs sadly.

Michelle wakes up the next day from her alarm and jumps out of bed only to slump over realizing she doesn't have a job anymore. She slowly walks to John's room and sees no one and sighs. Then she goes into the kitchen and sees that it's been cleaned up.

Michelle: When did this happen...

Michelle spots a note.

John: Dear Michelle, I have been a terrible friend. You gave me a home and helped me during the hardest time of my life and I never said thank you. I was so caught up in making myself feel better that I didn't even think about how you felt. I was rude and a horrible person, but I hope we can be friends again. -John

Michelle: *(shows her face as the letter is read) reads and then smiles*
