 (Outside walking uphill) #1 Morning

Dustin: You doin alright there buddy?

TJ:*wheeze* Sure.

(TJ pouting at Dustin)

Dustin: No!

TJ: Please! I'm really tired.

Dustin: But we're so close...

TJ: But I'm really... as in really tired. I can't even see straight anymore and I'm starting to have a really hard time breathing.

(TJ begins to pretend to that he's about to faint.)

( Dustin looking defeated)

Dustin: *sigh*(facepalms) Fine... But you're paying! Alright?

(TJ lighting up, bursts up with energy)

TJ: YAY!

(On the vehicle) #2 Morning

(Dustin looking annoyed)

Dustin: I can't believe you. We were almost there.

(TJ looking all giddy and humming to himself)

TJ: And yet, we're still moving...

(TJ smirking at Dustin)

Dustin: Stop smiling...

TJ: Hee hee.

Dustin: What?

(TJ puts on a serious face)

TJ: You'll always be there for me right?

(Dustin shocked to hear the question)

Dustin: What? Why would you even ask that?

(Dustin looks away towards the window)

Dustin:*whispers* Of course, I will.

(*honking from afar and loud crashing noise)

*Fade to Black*

1 year later...

(TJ jolts awake in a cold sweat from hearing a honking car outside) #3 Afternoon

(TJ's sister yelling by the door about to leave the house)

Michelle: *sighs in anger* You did nothing again. All you ever do is eat and sleep. When are you ever going to get it together? Are you ever going to apply for a job?

(Michelle trying to be considerate.)

Michelle: At least try to go outside. You're always cooped up in the house.

(Michelle slams the door behind her and leaves)

(TJ heads towards the toilet and stares at himself in the mirror)

TJ: *sigh* Maybe I should go outside...

(TJ leaves a note on the table and gets ready to leave)

(TJ takes a deep breath)

TJ: Welp, where to first?

TJ: I don't even know why I'm outside.

I should just go back...

(TJ takes another deep breath)

TJ: No, I can do this.

(TJ heads to the park) #4 Afternoon

*Flashback*

(Dustin and TJ running around the park while it's raining heavily at night)

Dustin: This is so stupid...
