*Beep Beep*…Sorry the person you are trying to reach is unavailable please leave a message after the tone Long Beep

Ally: Hello Mom..Dad it’s me,… I’m sorry I just can’t put on a fake smile anymore… I can't pretend to be happy…and to wake up believing it is going to get better. Nothing in my life is changing… I-I can't be here knowing… that I am a disappointment and I will never make you proud…but I-I will mi-miss you G-goodbye 

Girl falls from the building

THUD

She lands on a car

Women: AAAAAAHHHHH?

People start gathering and whispering

Women1: Gasps oh my god, what just happened?

Women2: How could she do this?

Man: How could she do this to the parents? The parents will be devastated when they find out

Women:Her parent’s don’t deserve this pain

Girl: People talk and pretend to know who to blame when they don’t know the whole story in a person’s life. Of course neither I myself know none of their business and isn’t mine to know but, it hurts knowing no one wants to stop or change the problem. It is scary but this is the reality of our lives repeating a cycle that never seems to stop….sigh Why can’t there be an end to this.

The Spirit orb leaves the body and drops down to the girl's hand. It turns into a bright white butterfly and they release it watching it fly away into the night. 

*Beep..Beep..Beep*

Arlo opens his eyes 

[Arlo’s Mind] Five more minutes

And proceeds to go to sleep

Mom: ARLO GET DOWN HERE!!!

Arlo: Ah! OK I’M UP

Arlo gets up from bed and starts getting ready for school

He heads down to eat and goes in the kitchen

Mom:Finally your up, now go eat your breakfast

Arlo: ok

Arlo sits down and starts eating as the mom is watching the news on the tv

The News: In today's breaking news. Last night, it was reported that a 16 years old girl had committed suicide. She was able to access a tall building roof and took her own life. It is known that she was in a psychiatric hospital and was mentally ill. Nobody knows who she was or how she got out but we will get back to you with more information

Mom:That’s horrible, poor girl. Her parents must be devastated

Arlo:Ya devastated

[Arlo’s Mind]:Yea right! They could have helped her or done something about it but they didn’t.

Arlo:I’m done eating. I’m heading to school now. Bye

Mom:Ok study hard!

Arlo gets up and walks out the door

As arlo walks to school he pass a lake and stares at it 

He remembers the happy moments he had and now there all gone along with his happiness

[Arlo’s Mind]:It really hurts

Arlo continues to walk to school

As he goes inside the school he sees his best friend

Gregory: Hey man how have you been?

Arlo: Great it was just really boring this summer and just working at the coffee shop you know.

Gregory: Oh yea! I had fun too, went to a lot of places and remember the field trip the school was doing on going to Italy?

Arlo: Ya

Gregory: I actually went and it was amazing. I also talked to a lot of people from our school that went and now we are friends.

[Arlo’s Mind]: Now that hurts. It hurts knowing he is meeting new people and now I am scared he will leave or ignore me. What to do?

Arlo: That's a great man. I am happy for you

Gregory: Ya and they invited me to go eat with them at lunch, wanna join us?

Arlo: Nah, I am a good man. I was actually planning to go to the library.

Gregory: Ok well I will see you later bye

Arlo: Oh wait…. What’s your schedule and he’s gone sigh

Arlo Heads to class 

Arlo makes it to first period and takes a seat

Mrs.Hensley: Hello class, who is ready for their last year and finally graduating

The whole class cheers

Mrs.Hensley: Oh kay class settles down before I start teaching each of you is going to get pulled out of class and go to the counselors office to talk about your future ok. Now I am going by last name Mr.Alden

Arlo:H-here

Mrs.Hensley: Ok you are up first head to the counselors office.

In the office

Counselor:Hello Mr.Arlo how have you been?

Arlo:good I guess

Counselor: Well that's great..we are here to discuss your future since you are in your last year how do you feel about that?

Arlo:Well ok I guess

Counselor:Well I think you should be excited going into a new journey

Arlo:Ya, I guess

Counselor: Or do you know what you want to be

Arlo: Not really my parents want me to go into business

Counselor: Well that is interesting. But is that what you want?

Arlo: Well I am not sure what I want?

Counselor:Well it’s about what you want and I suggest you figure it out fast because, it won’t take much time till you start applying and figuring your college.

Think about it ok

Arlo got nervous and scared hearing that

Arlo: O-ok

Counselor: Well are time is up I wish we could have talked more but I have other students coming in,have a nice day.

Arlo:you t-too

Arlo got up and went back to his class

Time Flies and he is now at lunch sitting alone

A group of boys walk up to him

Boy:Hey, the loser is all by himself.

Boy2:aww did your friend finally abandon you.

Boy3 pours milk on his head

Boy3:I'm so sorry I thought you were the trash

They all start laughing

Arlo gets angry but doesn't react instead he gets up and heads out the cafeteria 

As Arlo was heading to the office Gregory started to call him

Gregory: Arlo! wait up man.

Arlo: Annoyed, what do you want?

Gregory: Hey why are getting mad at me

Arlo: I don't know maybe because you abandoned me to hang out with your new cool friends

Gregory:I invited you to come eat with us but you said NO!!

Arlo: Raises voice YOU KNOW THAT I CAN'T DO THAT

Gregory: Raises voice WHY BECAUSE YOU ARE SUCH A SCAREDY CAT WHO CAN'T TALK OR TRUST KNOW ONE!!

Arlo:YOU KNOW WHAT I DON’T KNOW HOW I EVER BECAME FRIENDS WITH YOU

Gregory: ME TOO,...

 know wonder why everyone was right about you being a pathetic, depressed, and loner

Arlo was so angry, all he saw was red he wants to punch Gregory but can't and so he walks away and leaves the school

Arlo is so mad and frustrated and is walking through the forest, as he is walking he sees the lake and all his anger and frustration goes away. For some reason instead of fear he feels comforted by the lake

That's because this is where he met the only person that really understood him.

Arlo:I need to stop with these memories it will only bring me more pain 

Int. (Interior) Vintage Shop - Woods- Mid Day-

As Arlo continues to walk in the forest the air starts turning cold and the sky starts getting stormy he suddenly looks to his left and sees a little shop. It looks old and he looks through the window. His body is drawn into the shop. He enters and starts to think. 

Arlo’s Thoughts

Why is there a shop in the middle of the forest?

Arlo continues to roam around the shop, he sees something to his left, there is a table with a phone from the 50s and it looks new and looks like the owner takes good care of it, he then proceeds to look around and for some reason he feels like his feet are taking control of him. He then proceeds to walk to a table with old pictures he feels a little weirded out because who would want to collect old photos then his hand reaches out for a small purple album and in the front it has a golden plate that says 1980 he opens it but there is nothing. None of the folds have a picture. He started to flip through them until the last fold that had a picture in it his eyes widened and started to water as he was looking at the picture and out of nowhere a girl's hand appeared behind him and reached out to hold his shoulders. Arlo feels the hand and gets startled which makes him drop the album and it falls to the ground, he is scared to turn around but for some reason he feels like he has to turn around and with the little bravery he still has left he turns

Old Man

“Do you need any help?”

Arlo:

no I am good just checking out the stuff

Old Man

If you need something don't be afraid to ask

Arlo:

Ya thank you

The old man walks away to the cash register

Arlo's Mind: That scared me 

Arlo pics up the album and heads to the register

Arlo:I want to buy this please

Old Man: Nice choice that is a very good photo album. Do you want me to take any photos out of the album? Some customers forget to take out the pictures

Arlo: It is ok there were no pictures I checked

Old man:that would be 40 bucks

Arlo's eyes want wide 

Arlo:4-40 bucks just for this small album

Old man: of course that album is very vintage and old

Arlo:Oh,of course here you go

Arlo holds out the 40 bucks and gives to the old man

As the old man grabs the 40 arlo holds on it tightly

Old man: what are you doing your suppose to let go

Arlo: Right Ha

He let's go and is very sad about his money

He walks out and looks at the album which brings back his smile and proceeds to put it in his bag and starts heading home
