114. All Wet - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• INT. COLLEGE APARTMENT - DAY


• LAUREN sits on her couch, a trash can in front of her with a box of tissues on one side, a large lighter on the other side, and a pile of letters, poems, and pictures on the floor.


• She picks up the first letter and rotates it in her hands.


• She unfolds it, starts to read it, then shakes her head and grabs the lighter.


• She lights the letter and tosses it into the trash can.


• Grabbing letters and poems, she goes faster and faster.


• Smoke begins to rise from the trash can and swirl dangerously around the fire alarm.


• She slows as she reaches the first picture, and stares for a long moment. She stands close to JORDAN in the picture; he's looking away, laughing, she's looking at him.


• She inhales, and lights the picture and then adds more pictures to the pyre.


• She grabs the last picture and begins to light it as the smoke washes closer and closer to the alarm.


• Lauren hears laughter and looks up.


• Jordan is walking past, hair messy, eyes on fire as he jokes with a friend.


• She stares dumbly for a moment, then reaches into the smoke, grabbing for the last picture.


• She rescues a scrap of it, and holds it against her chest, Jordan's laughing eyes seeming to survey the apartment from the picture.


• The alarm screams and the apartment sprinkler goes off.


• Jordan and his friends turn, looking through the window.


• Lauren sits, drenched, clutching the picture, staring silently back.


• FADE TO BLACK.
