FLASHBACK ENDS
INT. SPRING HILL MENTAL HOSPITAL, MRS.SCARLETT’S OFFICE- AFTERNOON
MRS.SCARLETT
Brent? Brent, can you hear me?
(JACK and MRS.SCARLETT are staring at BRENT.)
BRENT
(Whispers.)
I-I’m sorry…
MRS.SCARLETT
Brent, what happened? Why were you screaming?
BRENT
He-he was beating her. She was bleeding and he wouldn’t let me save her. I couldn’t save her. (Starts to cry.)
MRS.SCARLETT
(Whispers to JACK)
I think he needs to go back to his room. He needs rest. (Walks over to BRENT and hugs him.)
BRENT
No, I object. (Pulls away from MRS.SCARLETT) I can’t go back to that room. I need to see Victory.
JACK
I think he needs to see her.
MRS.SCARLETT
Okay Brent, you can see Victory but only for a little bit.
(BRENT stands up and JACK leads him down the hall. They enter REC room. The REC room is filled with a couch, chairs, a pool table and a T.V.)
INT. SPRING HILL MENTAL HOSPITAL, REC ROOM- AFTERNOON
JACK
Sit here I’ll tell May to get Victory
(Walks out room.)
BRENT
(Stares around the room, his hands are shaking and tears are still coming from his eyes.)
NARRATOR (V.O.)
That day after my father left, I called my grandma. She came over and took my mom to the hospital. Her nose was broken and she had two broken ribs. She still never left him.
VICTORY
Brent?
BRENT
(Stands up and wraps his arms around VICTORY.)
VICTORY
Brent, what’s wrong? (BRENT lets go and takes VICTORY to the couch still crying.)
BRENT
J-Just hold me. Make me forget. (VICTORY hugs him.)
VICTORY
You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to….. But I’m a good listener.
BRENT
(Let’s go and kisses VICTORY.)
(Under his breath.)
I’m…sorry. (Walks away.)
VICTORY
BRENT! WAIT! (Runs to him and she kisses him back and BRENT pulls away.)
BRENT
Victory…I can’t….
VICTORY
Why not? You just kissed me.
(BRENT RUNS TO HIS ROOM.)
