SLANTED MIND

 

 HOW TO READ

*stuff in between asterisks* -- Can be either 1) thoughts of the character, 2) action made by the character or 3) description of what’s going on.  Basically, this was meant to remind me what to draw.   

***stuff between multiple asterisks*** -- Same as above, I just wanted to make sure I didn’t forget :P 

(stuff between parentheses) -- Stuff that the character says “in the background”, not intended to be in an official speech bubble. 

 

Chapter 16 – Broken Hearts  (Script)

 

*At the psychiatrist’s cabinet*

Doctor: There you go Mr. Drew.  *hands out a piece of paper*  I strongly recommend that you get on this medication as soon as possible. 

Rafae: *Looks at the prescription with skeptical expression* 

Doctor: *notices* Mr. Drew... *takes of his/her glasses* From what you have shared with me during our appointments, I have noticed that your state has been greatly affecting your social life as well as your work.  In the end, taking the medication is your choice and yours only, but I really think this is the right thing to do.  It is not a solution to your problems, but it will help make each day seem less of a torture to you... 

Rafae: ... 

 

*out of the cabinet*

Rafae: *getting out of the building, walking on the street*  Less of a torture...  sounds nice...  *stops in front of a drugstore*  *seems undecided*  alright.  *Walks into the drugstore, goes straight to the drugs counter*

Man at the counter: Hello!  Just a moment please!  *goes behind shelves* Can you take one more customer before leaving?  I’m still busy with Mrs. Coutu’s prescription... 

Young man: Sure.  *gets out from behind the shelf*  *meet Rafae’s eyes* *IT’S JESSA*

Both: *surprised* ...

Rafae: *HIM!*

Jessa: *him…*

Jessa: *takes Rafae’s prescription*

Rafae: *turns white, looks fixedly at the counter *

Jessa: *prepares Rafae’s prescription professionally*

Rafae : *leaves the drugstore and resumes walking home, looking anxious*

Jessa: *gets out of the drugstore too*  Hey...  Raf…  Rafae!  Wait! 

Rafae: *keeps on walking*

Jessa: *caught up with him*  Depression?

Rafae: * That’s right.  Make sure everyone knows. *   *red with anger*

Jessa: not because of my brother I hope...? 

Rafae: ...  *like I want to tell YOU.*

Jessa: What a jerk... 

Rafae: *turns around to face Jessa, mad* HEY.  What’s your probl-

Jessa: WHOA.  Not you!  Meros. 

Rafae: ...huh?!

Jessa: He’s all nice and... *makes a grimace* cute... I guess...  but he’s clueless when it comes to certain matters. 

Rafae: ... 

Jessa: He doesn’t know what he’s doing; don’t take it too hard... 

Rafae: *turning away*  Easy for you to say.  *I loved him...* 

Jessa:  Well. 

Rafae:  *snaps out of it, looks at Jessa*

Jessa: *looks into his eyes for a second* I hope... you’ll get better soon...

Rafae: ...

Jessa: *turns around and leaves*

***A few minutes later***

Jessa: *Walking back home*  *Meros really broke his heart...  Is he even aware of it? * *in front of his house*  Hm?  *sees Joan at the door, she almost knocks, but then chickens out and turns around* 

Joan: *surprised* ...Jessa!  You’re here! 

Jessa: Yep!  What are you doing here?   

Joan: *embarrassed* err...  well...  I wanted to talk to Meros... 

Jessa: Hm?  But...  He doesn’t even live here anymore... 

Joan: *surprised* What?

Jessa: ...he didn’t tell you?  Aren’t you guys the best friends in the world? 

Joan: ... 

Jessa: Ow...  What happened?

Joan: ...nothing.

Jessa: *raises an eyebrow*  Allow me to be skeptical. 

Joan: *rolls eyes* I...  we fought over...  *vague hand gestures* and...  I got carried away...  And we haven’t talked in weeks...  I just wanted...  *dead embarrassed*

Jessa: *another broken heart...*  ... 

Joan: ...

Jessa: Wait a second.  YOU, the mighty Joan, came here to make patch things up?! 

Joan: *annoyed* oh shut up. 

Jessa: *giggles*  Want to come in for a coffee, tea, water...? 

Joan: *unsure* ...you’re sure he’s not here?  You’re not saying he’s not here just to mess with me...? 

Jessa: *wide smile* 

Joan: Hmpf... *smiles*  Alright.  *shy smile*
