Hey Bella. Hey Brandon.
Hey, sorry I didn't get a chance last night to hangout with you and Ange.
How was the movie? Oh, it was okay. It wasn't our favorite.
What'd you end up doing last night anyway?
I just hung out with some of the guys. Ya know.
Hey, I'll be right back, okay? Okay.
Sorry about that back there. Its okay. Who was that?
Oh, who him? That's Mike. Mike who? I've never seen him before.
That's Mike Metzger. Yeah, he just moved here from McGuffy. We hung out last night.
He's pretty cool. I'll see you after class.
Good morning everyone. Here's the agenda for
the whole week . . . So what ever happened to Brandon last night?
Apparently he hung out with some friends. Who?
Some kid from McGuffy named Mike. Not Mike Metzger?
Yeah. That's him. Why? I heard he's really heavy in to drugs.
Really? Excuse me ladies. Am I interrupting something?
Sorry. Okay, as I was saying . . .
Bella, is everything okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Are you sure? Yeah.
What's up Brandon? What's up man. How you doing?
Pretty good. You? I'm doing alright. You know.
You and your girl going to the track meet later?
Yeah. We're going, right? Yeah.
Yeah. We're there. I'll see you there man.
Alright, man. See you.
You know, I really don't want you hanging
out with him anymore. What? Where's this coming from?
Well I was talking to Ange today . . . I should've guessed that Ange had something
to do with this. Well she was telling me about him! And he's
really big into drugs.
You didn't smoke pot last night did you?
No! I wouldn't. I care about you way too much.
Okay. Good. You know how I feel about guys who smoke pot.
I'll be right back okay?
Okay.
Hey. What's up man? How are you doing?
Hey. What's wrong? What did he give you?
What are you talking about? What's in your pocket?
There's nothing. What's in your pocket?
There's nothing. I swear. This! This is what I'm talking about!
You promised you wouldn't do this. Bella! Listen to me Bella.
I swear from this moment on I am done. It's not even that big of a deal.
It's a big deal to me. You know how I feel about this sort of thing. And you looked at
me right in my eyes and lied to me. Look. I know and I'm sorry.
Just give me another chance.
No Brandon. I can't be in this kind of relationship.
Look, I care about you. I really do. But you need to straighten yourself out. I'm done.
Hey. You okay? Yeah. I just can't believe I broke up with
him. You're doing the right thing.
Am I? Yes. He's making really bad decisions right
now. He's going along a path that you don't need to go along.
Yeah. I know. Is that him?
Yep. What is he saying?
He wants to get back together. Bella you can't. I understand that you care
about him, but he's not good for you right now. You can't live his life for him.
I know. I think you need to stop texting him too.
You need to let him know that you're serious. You're serious aren't you?
Yeah. You're right. I'm going to turn my phone off tonight, just to help me get started.
I'm proud of you. Brandon is going down a road that you don't need to go down right
now. Do you need a ride home? That'd be great actually. Thanks you so much
for everything. You're welcome.
What would I do without you?
Hey Bella. Look. I completely understand why
you broke up with me, but can't you just give me another chance?
What did you do after I left you at the track? I don't know what you're talking about.
Did you smoke pot again last night? Well, no . . . Okay, look. So I did smoke
last night. I promise it's over though. I swear.
You promised me that last night and then what did you do? You did it again.
I'm done with broken promises. But, Bella . . .
Don't. Your life is headed down a dead end road and I don't want to be apart of it.
Have you talked to Brandon at all? He's tried texting me, but I just keep ignoring him.
I heard he's gotten into heavier stuff now. He needs help.
Ladies. I can hear both of you whispering. I want to talk to both of you after class.
Okay ladies. What are we going to do about it?
Do about what?
Brandon. Don't act like I don't know what's going on. A star student, all of a sudden
grades dropping, missing school, hanging around with someone with a reputation of doing drugs,
and now . . . his girlfriend breaks up with him. Brandon doesn't have to overdose to get
help, but he's not going to listen to me. Okay?
Okay. Thanks. Yeah, thanks.
Let me know if you need my help. We will. Thank you.
So what did he give you this time? What do you care?
Wait! We just want to talk to you. Talk to me about what? You haven't talked
to me in weeks. She broke up with you and for good reasons.
What? Just because I started hanging out with Mike?
You know he's nothing but trouble. Well he's the only person I have right now.
That's not true. Let us help you. I don't need anyone's help!
Wait! You've changed, can't you see it? Do you really want to live you're life looking
forward to the next high? Really? You need help and if you're willing to change I'm willing
to help you. We're willing to help you, but until then, you're on your own.
Then I guess I'm on my own.
Brandon?
Bella. Look, you're right okay? I have changed. I just can't do this anymore. I really need your help.
Okay. I'm going to call Mrs. O'Neal and then we'll be over there, okay?
I just really don't want her getting involved though.
Brandon, if you're serious about this we need her help.
Okay.
Okay. I going to call her and then we'll be right over there.
Mrs. O'Neal? I need your help.
