Scene 6
Back at the Cowen house, Josh and Aaron are in the living room. Josh is wearing headphones playing on his phone.
Aaron: Sitting on the couch. Josh how was your day? (silence) annoyed he yells. Josh!
Josh: Taking off his headphones, looking at him. What?
Aaron: Looking at Josh I asked you how your day was.
Josh: Taken off-guard by his question he hesitantly answers. Oh, It was good.
Aaron: Asking him with a surprised voice. It was, did anything happen between you and your sister today.
Josh: No
Aaron: Disappointed using a soft voice. Josh I got a phone call, I know you yelled at her.
Josh: sounding sad he gets up. Did she call you?
Aaron: Looking towards Josh. No, she called Dad and he told me to talk to you.
Josh: Yelling and walking away. Why does this family hate me?
Aaron: Getting up yelling after him. We don't hate you.
Josh: Still yelling looks back. Yes you do.
Aaron: Talking softly, walking over to him. Josh, we don't hate you, were tough on you because we love you.
Josh: Slightly quieter stopping and talking directly at Aaron. It doesn't sound like you love me.
Aaron: Love doesn't always sound nice and heartfelt, love also sounds like anger and hate, unless it's from someone other than family then we'll need to talk.
Josh: Really?
Aaron: Yes.
Josh: Thanks for talking to me Aaron.
Aaron: You're welcome Josh, talk to me anytime you want.
Lights dim. All exit.
