Morticia: " What the fuck did you want me to see?..."
Amalia: " This."
(Morticia looks at the screen as Amalia pulls up the page)
Morticia: " That’s kick ass. Did you book it?"
Amalia: " Just for you bitch, just for you."
Morticia: (hugs Amalia) " Thanks… that would’ve put me off schedule for awhile."
Amalia: " You’re lucky you got me around then ain’t you?."
Morticia: " I think I am."
Amalia: " I know you are."
Morticia: " I gotta call Eli but I’ll be right back."
Amalia: " Don’t keep him waiting."
Morticia: " I don’t plan to."
(Morticia grabs her phone and heads up to her room)
………………………………………………………………………………………..
(Morticia dials Eli’s number and waits for him to pick up…….. Eli picks up the phone)
Eli: " Hey babe."
Morticia: " Morning Eli, I got something to talk about with you."
Eli: " Anything, shoot."
Morticia: " Did you ask the guys yet?..."
Eli: " You mean my official groomsmen and best man?."
Morticia: " You’re the best."
Eli: " And so are you."
Morticia: " One more thing hun, my sister Amalia booked the san Riviera for our wedding hall."
Eli: " Then she’s awesome too."
Morticia: " I think she thinks so too, because she spent like 10 minutes yelling my name to come and see the pics."
Eli: " Is it any good?."
Morticia: " Oh hell yeah, or at least I think so anyway."
Eli: " Then I’m sure I will too."
Morticia: " I know you will love it."
Eli: " If you’re sure, then I guess I will for sure love it."
Morticia: " I got lots more shit to take care of, it’s pretty overwhelming but I got the cake baked and ready and we got the venue booked and we got the ring ordered and our bridesmaids and groomsmen picked out and confirmed."
Eli: " That’s awesome babe, don’t let the pressure get to you and you will be just fine, drink lots of coffee."
Morticia: " I have been."
(they share a laugh)
Eli: " I’ll let you go so you can finish what you started babe."
Morticia: " Alright, I love you."
Eli: " I love you too hun."
Morticia: " Bye."
(Eli hangs up the phone)
……………………………………………………………………………………………
(Morticia walks into the kitchen where Amalia is busy emailing a flower company for the wedding bouquets)
Amalia: " Hey Morticia."
Morticia: " Eli told me not to let the pressure get to me… is there a lot of that in a wedding?..."
Amalia: " Of course, but he was just looking out for you’re wellbeing."
Morticia: " That’s so sweet of him."
Amalia: " I know."
Morticia: " By the way, he said you were awesome for finding and booking our venue."
Amalia: " Awww, he is nice."
(the girls laugh a little)
Morticia: " What are you doing right now?..."
Amalia: " I’m in the process of ordering and arranging your wedding bouquets."
Morticia: " Wow, you get a lot of shit done don’t you?..."
Amalia: " I know I do."
Morticia: " Our colors are white and black, tell them that in the email."
Amalia: " I will sis, I will."
(Amalia continues to write out the email and finishes as Morticia eats her breakfast)
Amalia: " Done."
Morticia: " Done?"
Amalia: " Yeah, I’m done with the email. Now we can move onto finding out what kind of table centers you want along with decorations."
Morticia: " Decorations…?"
Amalia: " Of course, you see those damn things at weddings all the time."
Morticia: " I know, I just didn’t know we had to do it ourselves."
Amalia: " Only if you want it to be any good."
Morticia: " That sounds good with me. Let’s do it ourselves then…"
Amalia: " That’s you’re final decision?..."
Morticia: " Yes."
Amalia: " Okay then, let’s look online."
Morticia: " You gonna Google it?..."
Amalia: " Best damn search engine ever."
Morticia: " Yeah, I’m with that one."
(Amalia pulls up the Google window and types in the images bar, black and white wedding decorations and all results pop up)
Amalia: " Damn, that’s a lot of decorations… we’re lucky we got all day."
Morticia: " I’d say we are."
(the girls start scrolling down to see more and Morticia sees one she likes)
Morticia: " Stop!..."
Amalia: " I stopped."
Morticia: " That one." (she points to the one she likes)
Amalia: " That one?..."
Morticia: " Let’s click on it and maybe it’ll bring you to the website it belongs to."
(Amalia clicks on the picture and nothing happens)
Amalia: " Nothing."
Morticia: " I still like it, print the screenshot."
Amalia: " Printing it."
(the screenshot prints out)
Amalia: " Why do you want this?..."
Morticia: " Maybe we can take this to someone who knows how to make wedding decorations and they can make them for us."
Amalia: " It’s worth a shot…"
Morticia: " Let’s do it."
Amalia: " I’m in if you are."
(the girls look up wedding decoration makers/designers in their area and multiple result pop up)
Amalia: " Let’s click on this one."
(Amalia clicks on the one called Sally Sue’s Décor)
Morticia: " This one looks promising."
Amalia: " I know it does."
Morticia: " What’s the address?..."
Amalia: " West 629 Maplewood drive."
Morticia: " Let’s put that into my GPS and maybe we can find it."
(Morticia puts the address into her GPS and it blinks letting her know she found it)
Morticia: " Get in the car and let’s go."
Amalia: " I’m coming."
(the girls get into the car and drive to the address)
………………………………………………………………………………………………
(the girls arrive at the shop and get out of the car and walk in)
Amalia: " Hello?..."
Rachel: " Hey, how can I help you two?..."
Amalia: " We’re looking to see if you could make these wedding decorations for us."
(Amalia shows her the screenshot)
Rachel: " You bet I can girls."
Morticia: " That would be awesome."
Rachel: " How many do you need?."
Morticia: " Let’s see… Amalia, how many tables do we have set?..."
Amalia: " We have about, I’d say… 24."
Morticia: " Then we need 24 of em."
Rachel: " When do you need em by?"
Morticia: " It’s gonna be three days from now till we decorate, so…. about three days and we’ll come pick em up."
Rachel: " Handy dandy, that works for me."
Amalia: " Awesome."
Morticia: " We’ll be around to pick em up in three days. Thanks so much for you’re time."
Rachel: " Oh anything for my customers."
Amalia: " See you."
Rachel: " Have a good day girls."
(the girls walk out of the shop and into the car and drive home)
………………………………………………………………………………………….
(the girls arrive home and are getting all their stuff put away)
Amalia: " That was a good catch, don’t you think?..."
Morticia: " I would say so."
Amalia: " Yeah, I think so too. Anyway, I’m gonna check my email to see if the flower company ever responded back."
Morticia: " You do that Amalia, I’ll be right back."
Amalia: " Okay."
(Morticia walks into the kitchen to the office supply cabinet and grabs a pencil sharpener with two blades)
………………………………………………………………………………………….
(Amalia is in the kitchen well occupied with her time as Morticia rips out the blades from the pencil sharpener and takes out a poem she wrote and says it out loud.)
Morticia: " The wind will follow you when you need it, the grass will grow as tall as you are to hide you from the dangers of the world. When you need a friend there will always be footprints in the sand right next to yours. Show yourself that all you need is you, keep yourself happy when you are down and always know that you have you’re family of wolves around you ready to bite down on you’re predators."
(Morticia takes the blade and opens up her palm flat)
Morticia: " I don’t know if I should do this…"
(Morticia begins to cry as she slits her palm)
Morticia: " Oh, that hurts like a bitch!..."
(Morticia grabs a towel and wraps her hand in it to keep the blood from staining anything, she looks down at her hand.)
Morticia: " Damn, that went pretty deep."
(Morticia hears Amalia coming and she throws everything down to hide what she had done)
Morticia: " Hang on Amalia, I’m getting changed!"
Amalia: " Oh, I’ll just wait downstairs then."
Morticia: " Oh, thank God she didn’t see anything as bad as this." (she whispers to herself as Amalia leaves and goes back downstairs)
……………………………………………………………………………………….
(Morticia scrambles to hide her blades, she eventually hides them in her little box where she keeps her jewelry. she buries it deep down so no one can ever find them but her, and she puts the poem back in her journal and throws the bloody towel into the laundry chute and thinks about what to do to cover her hand)
Morticia: " What the hell do I do…?!..."
(Morticia finally decides to cover it up by wearing bracelets and a long sleeve sweater. she walks downstairs as soon as she is sure no one will see anything)
…………………………………………………………………………………………
(Amalia sees her hand)
Amalia: " What the hell happened to you?..."
Morticia: " I fell when I was going up the damn stairs."
Amalia: " Are you okay?..."
Morticia: " I’ll be fine, did the company respond yet?..."
Amalia: " Yeah, they said they can do wildflowers if you wanted."
Morticia: " That sounds just fine."
Amalia: " Okay, I’ll respond that back."
(Amalia begins to make out a new email)
Morticia: " Are you sure we’re gonna be okay?... I mean, with this whole God damn wedding shit stuff?..."
Amalia: " God knows you’re gonna be fine Morticia… you can get through anything."
Morticia: " How do you know?"
Amalia: " Because you’re you, and I’ve seen you do some pretty kick ass things."
Morticia: " Thanks Amalia."
Amalia: " I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to just give up… but on you, I can’t and I don’t want to."
Morticia: " Thanks, that shit means a lot to me."
Amalia: " I know it does."
Morticia: " How?..."
Amalia: " I can see it in you’re eyes."
Morticia: " Yeah, you always were a gypsy."
Amalia: " I was?..."
(the girls laugh a little)
Amalia: " I’ve responded back."
Morticia: " Good, I’ll be right back… gotta do something."
Amalia: " Okay, don’t hurt yourself going up the stairs again."
Morticia: " I’ll try not to."
(Morticia walks up the stairs and goes into her room)
…………………………………………………………………………………….
(Morticia is upstairs in her room with the door closed)
Morticia: " I don’t know why I’m such a dumbass… I’d better call Eli."
(Morticia grabs her phone and dials Eli’s number and the phone rings………… Eli answers)
Eli: " Hello?... you got Eli here."
Morticia: " I gotta see you babe… I just have to." (cries a little)
Eli: " What’s wrong babe?"
Morticia: " Nothing, I just gotta see you."
Eli: " Where and when, I’ll be there."
Morticia: " At the back roads by my house as soon as you can get here."
Eli: " I’m gonna gas up my car and be there in 10."
Morticia: " Please hurry."
Eli: " I promise you I’ll be there in 10 hun, I promise."
Morticia: " Okay… bye."
Eli: " See you."
(Morticia hangs up the phone and cries softly to herself)
…………………………………………………………………………………….
(Morticia walks downstairs to see Amalia typing on the computer where she left her)
Amalia: " Hey bitch, sup?..."
Morticia: " Imma meet Eli by the back roads to talk to him about the wedding."
Amalia: " Okay, awesome. Be sure to mention that the flower company is doing you’re official bouquets."
Morticia: " I will."
(Morticia grabs her things and heads out the door to meet Eli by the back roads)
………………………………………………………………………………………
(Morticia sits down by the black maple tree that she grew up with as a child and engraved her name on, as she waits for Eli to arrive)
Morticia: " I always knew I’d screw everything up… all on my own too…"
(Morticia begins to cry as Eli pulls up in his car)
Eli: " Got you’re call babe, what’s wrong.?...."
(Morticia jumps up and hugs Eli as hard as she can)
Eli: " I think I missed a hell of a lot in 10 minutes…"
Morticia: " I knew I messed everything up Eli… I knew I did it… all on my own…" (as she cries)
Eli: " What the hell are you talking about, I still love you babe… I always will."
Morticia: " Not after what I talk to you about you won’t…"
Eli: " What the fuck do you mean?...."
(Morticia pulls up her jacket sleeve and reveals her cuts)
Eli: " Oh my God…"
Morticia: " I’m so sorry…." (she cries harder)
Eli: " I….. Oh my God, I just don’t know what the fuck to say to this…"
Morticia: " Oh my God… you don’t love me anymore… do you?..."
(as she pulls out her extra blade and cries harder)
Eli: " I still love you babe, I just can’t believe you could do that sort of thing…"
Morticia: " Do you really still love me?..."
Eli: " I do."
Morticia: " Prove it."
(Eli kisses her full on the lips)
Eli: " Does that prove it for you?..."
Morticia: " Yeah, it does…"
Eli: " Stop crying and tell me why babe… tell me why."
(Morticia stops crying)
Morticia: " I did it because I was feeling all the pressure getting to me and I didn’t know how else to take it all away, I knew I was goth but I didn’t know it would ever go this far…"
Eli: " Me neither…"
Morticia: " I know, but I will always love you too babe… promise me you will never leave me."
Eli: " I’ve always promised you that and It’s not gonna change anytime soon babe."
Morticia: " I love you."
Eli: " I gotta go before mom gets home but I will always love you too."
Morticia: " Goodbye Eli."
(Eli gets in his car and drives away as Morticia sits under her tree and watches him leave)
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
(Morticia begins to sing a soft song as she sits there by her tree in the rain)
Morticia: " They all believe… You’ve wasted away, as nights grow cold… and you grow old. Waiting for the world to change…"
(Morticia breaks in the song)
Morticia: " And they all tell you, rainclouds will frown at you as you cry and they will all do the same. They all ask you why… Why you can still cry if you don’t believe in yourself, why don’t you bleed?..."
(Morticia takes out her blade and makes a small cut)
Morticia: " Stay strong for me, so I can move on… onto a new world where no one cares weather you cry… no one cares weather you bleed. Show her that you can still dance in the rain… Tell her stories to soothe her soul from the fire she is burning in…"
(Morticia begins to make another small cut)
Morticia: " As she cries, so do you… clouds will shadow you’re every move and shield you from the sun… You will never see tomorrow because it will never come."
(Morticia looks up at her name engraved in the tree)
Morticia: " You wonder why, she has made the sacrifice… she has cast herself away for you and you will never see her again because she has faded away and given up on tomorrow and yesterday."
(Morticia begins to engrave her new last name on the tree in place of her old last name)
Morticia: " She is a new girl, she doesn’t see you anymore because you no longer exist… she will cry out and you will not be near for her to feel how good it was anymore… feeling how good it was to live with you… but now you only cause her pain and misery every time she remembers you’re name…"
(Morticia finishes her engraving and thinks about the next line of the song)
Morticia: " Please don’t come back for me she would say… I had to be with her to keep you away… shadow out all that you’ve done, to go out into the morning sun and see you’re name burning into her tears of blood raining out from her soul."
(Morticia takes the rain and washes out her scars)
Morticia: " Now that you’ve done you’re damage… and now that you know she is hurt… just walk on your own way and see her no more… you cannot be the devil in her path. Just because you are drowning in her tears, doesn’t mean she has forgotten you… she wants to forget all that you have done to her…"
(Morticia dries the tears from her eyes)
Morticia: " She knows you have forgotten her and are on you’re way to a new girl… you seem to be yet drawn to her as she cries… you love to see her in pain don’t you?... why don’t you see how it feels then…"
(Morticia puts away her blade and sits down by the newly engraved tree, she is now finished with her song)
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
(Morticia begins to cry as she looks at her cuts and then up at the new engraving in the tree)
Morticia: " Why do I do this…?........"
(she cries softly and looks at the blade in her pocket)
Morticia: " I can’t start what I can’t stop I guess…."
(she keeps crying softly as she gets up and walks back to the house softly singing the song she had sang)
……………………………………………………………………………………………...
(Morticia arrives back at home as she sees Amalia emailing the flower company)
Amalia: " Oh my God, you poor thing… you were out in the rain for hours."
(Amalia wraps her up in a towel)
Amalia: " Let’s get that wet jacket off you."
(Amalia begins to grab Morticia’s jacket)
Morticia: " I’m fine!..."
(Amalia looks up at her kinda funky)
Morticia: " I’m sorry, I’ll just do it on my own though…"
Amalia: " Are you sure you’re okay?..."
Morticia: " I’m sure Amalia, thanks though…"
(Morticia walks upstairs without saying anything else)
……………………………………………………………………………………………
(Morticia is in her bedroom looking at her cuts in the mirror to see how far she went)
Morticia: " Damn, that’s far…"
(Morticia gets the jacket off and sees it drenched in blood and rain)
Morticia: " I gotta hide the bitch before Amalia sees it…"
(Morticia shoves it under the bed for now)
Morticia: " Now how the hell am I gonna clean my cuts from the blood?..."
(Morticia grabs a headband and wraps it around like a blanket and begins to apply pressure to it)
Morticia: " Ah!... God damn it!... that hurts like a motherfucking bitch."
(Morticia winces as she applies extra pressure to keep it from bleeding)
Morticia: " (grunts) Damn this all…"
(Morticia releases the pressure and looks under the headband and sees no more blood)
Morticia: " Thank God the bitch stopped bleeding."
(Morticia puts on a new sweater and some more bracelets and walks downstairs to where Amalia is in the kitchen)
…………………………………………………………………………………………
(Amalia notices Morticia coming into the kitchen)
Amalia: " Hey Morticia, are you really okay?... or is there something you need to talk to me about?..."
Morticia: " It’s nothing Amalia, I’m sure…"
Amalia: " You know I’m always here for you no matter what it is right?..."
Morticia: " Yeah… I do…"
Amalia: " Okay, well… the flower company says they will have the roses here by tomorrow at 6:30."
Morticia: " Okay, that should be fine."
Amalia: " I knew you would think so…"
Morticia: " Like I said… the family gypsy."
(the girls laugh a little then become very serious)
Amalia: " So…. did you wanna go to bed?..."
Morticia: " I think we should…"
Amalia: " I’m with that… let’s go."
(the girls walk upstairs to bed)
-end-
　
Scene twenty one: The death date: Amalia: " Are you ready for the day yet?"
Morticia: " I’m as ready as I can get."
Amalia: " Let’s have at it then."
Morticia: " I’ll be right down."
(Amalia walks into the kitchen to get her coffee)
……………………………………………………………………………………………
(Amalia is in the kitchen drinking her coffee as Morticia walks into the room with her sweater on)
Amalia: " Why are you always wearing that same sweater?..."
Morticia: " Because, it’s ummm… cold. Yeah, it’s cold."
Amalia: " Are you sure, because it’s 50 degrees out…?"
Morticia: " Does this face look unsure to you?" (makes a serious face)
Amalia: " No…"
Morticia: " On to our first load of the day…"
Amalia: " We gotta go to that decoration shop to pick the shit up."
Morticia: " Let’s go then, we ain’t got any time to just waste."
Amalia: " Okay…"
(the girls get into the car and drive to the decoration shop)
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
(the girls arrive at the decoration shop and go into the store to meet Rachel)
Rachel: " Hello?.."
Morticia: " It’s us."
Rachel: " Why hello girls, won’t you come and see the decorations my team has made."
(they follow Rachel into the back room)
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
(they are all in the back room and look at the decorations Rachel has made)
Amalia: " These are awesome Rachel!... don’t you think so Morticia?..."
Morticia: " Yeah."
Rachel: " I’m so glad to hear you think so because these are on the house, free for you both."
Amalia: " Are you just joking with us?!..."
Rachel: " I kid you not girls. Take em offa my hands."
Amalia: " This is amazing, you didn’t have to just give them to us…"
Rachel: " Oh yes I did girls."
Amalia: " Why?..."
Rachel: " I gave up money for lent."
Amalia: " That’s awesome, good for you Rachel."
Rachel: " Why thank you ever so much girls. You enjoy the wedding."
Amalia: " How can we not with these awesome decorations?..."
Morticia: " Yeah…"
(the girls get into their car and drive back home in silence)
………………………………………………………………………………………………
(the girls arrive home and get all the decorations pulled into the hall)
Amalia: " That was quite a heavy ass load…"
Morticia: " I know… it was…"
Amalia: " You’re being pretty quiet today… are you sure nothing’s bothering you?..."
Morticia: " I said I was sure Amalia."
Amalia: " Okay… sorry for trying to help…"
Morticia: " It’s not you’re fault, I’m just in a bad mood today…"
Amalia: " It’s okay Morticia, it’s okay to feel upset during the wedding week…"
Morticia: " Well… the wedding is in three days…"
Amalia: " It’s coming up sooner than we thought… I know."
Morticia: " It’s fine, I’m ready.
Amalia: " Now there’s you’re kick ass spirit."
Morticia: " It’s just easy for me to keep it hidden."
Amalia: " I guess it is…"
Morticia: " I’m gonna go out to the back roads… I’ll see you soon."
Amalia: " Okay Morticia, I’ll be going to the venue to take care of the decorations for you."
Morticia: " Thanks a bunch Amalia."
Amalia: " Anytime you need me."
(Morticia and Amalia walk outside but Amalia gets into her car and goes to the venue)
……………………………………………………………………………………………
(Amalia is gone and Morticia arrives at her tree)
Morticia: " What the hell am I doing?.... I’m gonna make a mess of everything even more than it already is…"
(Morticia thinks)
Morticia: " How in the damn world is that possible…?...."
(Morticia seems to answer herself in her head)
Morticia: " I can’t go on like this Eli… wherever you are, please help me stay strong."
(She closes her eyes as if seeing Eli in a dream)
Morticia: " I can see you, I know you are here with me and always will be…"
(Morticia begins to cry softly)
Morticia: " This is all so crazy, I’ve gotta end it all before it gets too outta hand…"
(She looks into herself as if she knows now what she has to do)
Morticia: " It must be done…"
(Morticia grabs her blade)
Morticia: " I’ve made one promise too many."
(careless, she slashes her hands and wrists until they are scarred)
Morticia: " That will show them all how I’ve had to deal with the world…"
(Morticia looks up at the sky as the sun disappears)
Morticia: " Even the skies know I am pissed off…"
(Morticia begins to wonder why she is still by the tree of her new person’s name)
Morticia: " I must slash my memory away."
(Morticia cuts up the tree that she had grown up with in every spot except for the engraving she hade made when she was a child and the one she made yesterday)
Morticia: " Now I am gone… all I have left is this shell of me…"
(Morticia cries softly as she gets up and begins to walk back to the house while singing the song she sang the other day)
…………………………………………………………………………………………..
(Morticia is in the kitchen of the house running her hand and wrists under water to remove the blood of her nightmares)
Morticia: " I don’t know why I thought any of this was ever a good idea… when the flowers come I will end everything… only when the flowers come…"
(Morticia finishes washing off all the blood and all that is left are deep scars)
Morticia: "God, that looks pretty damn deep."
(she looks into her cuts)
Morticia: " I’ve gotta cover this shit up with a sweater."
(she grabs the sweater from the hall closet that she wore earlier and slugs it on)
Morticia: " Now all I need are some bracelets…"
(she goes into the hall bathroom and grabs her bracelets from the drawer and puts them on)
Morticia: " That will do the job…. Now what the hell do I do about the blades…?"
(Morticia decides to run up to her room and hide them in her jewelry box buried deep down)
Morticia: " God, the bitches still have blood on them… damn it."
(Morticia throws them into the box anyway)
Morticia: " Now I can relax and let my mind go black before it ends…"
(Morticia sits on the couch in the dark and silence and waits for Amalia to return home)
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
(Amalia walks into the house to find Morticia sitting in the shadows listening to her iPod, the instrumental of my immortal by evanescence and she is staring into the darkness)
Amalia: " Are you gone?... Please don’t come back all religious…"
Morticia: " I am not gone… are you?..."
Amalia: " I’m not gone… I was walking in when I saw you acting all weird on the couch…"
Morticia: " I will be alright my dear sister."
Amalia: " That’s good to hear."
Morticia: " For at least one of us."
Amalia: " One of us?..."
Morticia: " Never mind the things I will say sister…"
Amalia: " I won’t then…"
Morticia: " Good…"
(Morticia goes back to staring in the dark)
Amalia: " Are you high?..."
Morticia: " Drugs will only make the matters worse, why you think I’d be on them is a mystery to me yet…"
Amalia: " Okay, she’s not high… what the hell could it be then…?...."
Morticia: " A mere shadow of nothing my sister… nothing at all…"
Amalia: " Okay… can I have you’re phone?..."
Morticia: " Yes my dear sister, you may…"
(Amalia takes Morticia’s phone and walks out to the back roads…)
Amalia: " I’ll be right back… don’t you dare move…"
Morticia: " If I could move, I would already have done it…"
Amalia: " Whatever…"
(Amalia walks outside and to the back roads as Morticia sits there in the darkness)
…………………………………………………………………………………………
(Amalia arrives at the back roads and is scrolling through Morticia’s contacts to find Eli’s number……………. she finds his number and dials it, the phone rings…………… Eli picks up)
Eli: " Hey Morticia."
Amalia: " It’s not Morticia… it’s Amalia."
Eli: " Hey Amalia, where’s Morticia?..."
Amalia: " She’s in the living room on the couch in the darkness listening to her iPod… some song called my immortal…"
Eli: " That doesn’t sound good at all… it’s not like her…"
Amalia: " That’s why I called you, I was worried about her…"
Eli: " What can I do?..."
Amalia: " Come visit her and make her happy again."
Eli: " I’ll be there in 10."
Amalia: " Good, bye."
(Eli hangs up the phone and Amalia sits down by the bench opposite from the tree)
Amalia: " What the hell?...." (as she looks at the tree)
(Amalia walks up to the tree to see the engraving of her sister’s name on it and her new name and she sees that the tree is slashed up)
Amalia: " Whatever happened to this tree was not natural…"
(Eli pulls up in his car)
……………………………………………………………………………………………
(Amalia walks over to Eli’s car)
Amalia: " Come look at what the hell happened to Morticia’s family tree…"
Eli: " What happened to it?..."
Amalia: " Come look for yourself."
(Amalia pulls Eli over to look at the tree)
Eli: " (looks at the tree) What the fuck happened to it?..."
Amalia: " Look at the engraving on it…"
(Eli looks at the engraving)
Eli: " It’s Morticia’s old and new name…"
Amalia: " Look at the rest of the tree."
Eli: " (looks at the rest of the tree) It’s all slashed up…"
Amalia: " Who could have done this to her tree?..."
Eli: " I don’t know yet…"
Amalia: " Yet?..."
Eli: " I might know… I just have to confirm it…"
Amalia: " You’d better get the bitch confirmed or this tree will be forever known in no more peace…"
Eli: " I know… where’s Morticia, my beautiful bride?..."
Amalia: " She’s inside in the dark…"
Eli: " I’m gonna talk to her… you stay here."
Amalia: " I will, and I’ll keep watch on the tree too."
Eli: " I’ll be back soon."
(Eli walks into the house)
………………………………………………………………………………………………
(Eli finds Morticia sitting in the dark on the couch singing the song she had sang the other day)
Eli: " Morticia please, it’s me… Eli…"
Morticia: " You are welcome in here as long as you are only to love me."
Eli: " Morticia, come realize that I only have ever loved you."
Morticia: " A promise from the truth are two different meanings."
Eli: " Please come back into the world, I need you Morticia… more than anything right now…"
Morticia: " How bad do you really need me?... More than you’re words can say?..."
Eli: " Yes, you know I mean that."
Morticia: " I have the one I loved sitting among this very room now…"
Eli: " Who is it…?...."
Morticia: " The one named after Eli…"
Eli: " That’s me…"
Morticia: " Is it you, or is it who you used to be?..."
Eli: " I don’t know what the hell you are talking about… but I do know that you love me too… don’t you?..."
Morticia: " I loved someone named Eli… where is he?...."
Eli: " I’m sitting right here babe, it’s me."
Morticia: " Why can’t I see you…?...."
Eli: " Because you are in the dark…"
Morticia: " I am in the light of the shadows… that is where I am. It is not where I belong but I am a lost soul among the others… do you not know that I sense you are too…?...."
Eli: " Please Morticia, I love you… come back with me."
Morticia: " How can I escape something so powerful such as darkness?..."
Eli: " You can with me."
Morticia: " I used to know what that felt like, I cannot show it anymore though… I regret all this misery I am living in now…"
Eli: " You are not misery… you are beautiful in every way to me."
Morticia: " So is my love…"
Eli: " It’s me… come back home."
Morticia: " I cannot return home…for there is none. Not with this me there isn’t…"
Eli: " You’re still the same you… beautiful and kick ass, and I love you Morticia… please babe…"
Morticia: " I see the shadows calling my name from far away… why can you not see them calling yours too?..."
Eli: " Because I belong here with you babe… I do."
Morticia: " I do not though… the shadows are my family calling me into the end… they know I am here and it is my time…"
Eli: " It’s not you’re God damn time!... stay with me."
Morticia: " I wish I could but the world surrounds me, keeping me away from all the leaders of evil have taught me…"
Eli: " But I have showed you that I love you… and you can show me you still love me…"
Morticia: " I can, but I don’t know If I should… the rain is calling my name and I can hear it coming closer…"
Eli: " Tell it to go to hell!... it can burn away. All I need is you."
Morticia: " I know that I can sense you feel that way… I remember you little bits at a time… all I remember are good things. You must have a pure soul then… Show me you’re intentions."
Eli: " Come with me babe."
Morticia: " I will come forward with you…"
(they walk outside to the back roads)

(Amalia is standing there by the tree looking it over when Eli calls her name)
Amalia: " Eli?... Oh my God, you brought Morticia."
(Amalia begins to cry as she hugs Morticia)
Morticia: " Why do you cry for me my sister?..."
Amalia: " It’s too bad you couldn’t fix her Eli…"
Morticia: " Fix me?... what is there to be fixed?..."
Amalia: " A shitload… look what someone did to you’re tree…"
Eli: " Do you know who did this Morticia?..."
Morticia: " (looks at the tree in memory) I have…"
Amalia: " Why did you do this?..."
Morticia: " I have done this to symbolize the shell I have become and how bad all my intentions had become before I heard our mother calling my name."
Amalia: " You can’t hear mom you bitch!.... she’s dead!..."
Morticia: " She hears you my sister… for she sees you have become corrupted by all nature of this world… Money, power and man… You have turned away from everything mother has taught you haven’t you?..."
Amalia: " I’ve turned away from nothing."
Morticia: " I am only to speak in pure truth… mother has warned me before it was too late for me… it isn’t too late to save you too."
Amalia: " Save me from what?..."
Morticia: " The demons that plague you far beyond the strength of all of you’re men added up together…"
Amalia: " There are no mother fucking demons you bitch!..."
Morticia: " Yes there are, for you at least…"
Amalia: " Shut the hell up mom!... leave my sister alone!"
Morticia: " She is become very upset with the person you’ve become my sister… she wonders why you are this way… she begs me to calm you’re spirit before you turn away and fade…"
Amalia: " I mean it mom! leave her alone you bitch, get out of her head and stop telling her these dumb things! you are such an ass!!!..."
Morticia: " You have been speaking you’re mind Amalia… you are a wise woman but you will never see that what you are doing is wrong in the eyes of millions of spirits."
Amalia: " It is not mom! I am trying to protect Morticia from you!!! leave her alone and go back to you’re resting place in hell!"
Morticia: " I cannot leave you until I have completed what I have come here for my dear."
Amalia: " You can’t leave?!"
Morticia: " I cannot leave until you are clean of blood and scars… it is my job to keep you safe my dear daughter."
Amalia: " Get out of my sister you demons!"
Morticia: " I am not any demon, I am you’re mother’s spirit here with you now… why can you not accept me?..."
Amalia: " I can’t because you are gonna ruin everything mom!!!!"
Morticia: " How is it me who is ruining everything?... what is you’re reasoning?..."
Amalia: " Hear me out mom!... Morticia is to be married in three days to Eli!... leave her and go rest in hell already!!!."
Morticia: " I see how you want it to be… I’m done with this then… I will leave on one condition…"
Amalia: " What else do you fucking want mom!!!"
Morticia: " I need one more moment to say I am only looking out for you because I love you… goodbye now."
Amalia: " Leave you dirty little bitch!!!"
(Terra leaves Morticia’s body)
……………………………………………………………………………………………
(silence as Morticia falls to the ground)
Eli: " Morticia!"
(Eli goes over to lift her up and carry her over to the bench as it begins to rain)
Eli: " Get up Morticia, I need you babe… more than anything right now."
Morticia: " What?...(faintly as she begins to wake up) where the hell am i?..."
Eli: " You’re with me now, it’s all gonna be okay."
Morticia: " What do you mean it’s all okay now…?"
Eli: " Some pretty wacked up shit just happened…"
Morticia: " Please tell me I wasn’t high…"
Amalia: " You weren’t high Morticia… it’s not drugs or alcohol…"
Morticia: " What in the hell was it then?..."
Eli: " Did you really do that to you’re tree?...."
Morticia: " (looks at the tree) I’m sorry, but I did…."
Amalia: " Why?..."
Morticia: " Well, this is who I’ve become and I wanted everything to be okay around me so I shut out the rest of the world for awhile… and this happened because I had a blade with me…"
Eli: " A blade?..."
Morticia: " Yeah, why?..."
Eli: " Let me see you’re wrists and hands."
Morticia: " (thinks oh no) Ummm… okay…"
(Eli pulls down her sweater sleeves as they all stare down at her cuts)
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Amalia: " Oh my God Morticia…"
Morticia: " I knew you would hate me…"
(Morticia begins to cry as they keep looking)
Eli: " I knew but I didn’t wanna get her in trouble…"
Amalia: " That’s understandable… are you gonna be okay for the wedding Morticia?..."
Eli: " We can put it off if needed…"
Morticia: " No, I’m good guys… all will go on as we imagined it to be."
Eli: " Are you sure?..."
Morticia: " Yeah, it’ll still be a kick ass day for all of us…"
Amalia: " I’ll go and finish some last minute wedding stuff then."
Morticia: " Okay then, can you leave me and Eli so we can talk?..."
Amalia: " Sure bitch, anything for you."
(Amalia leaves and walks back to the house)
……………………………………………………………………………………………
(Eli and Morticia are alone)
Morticia: " Okay, so what was all that crazy shit "I" did…?"
Eli: " It’s a lot to explain so you’d better be prepared for a novel…"
Morticia: " Oh God…"
(Eli begins telling her about what she had done)
Morticia: " My mom possessed me?... what the fuck!?..."
Eli: " I know, it was crazy… she was trying to make you think you didn’t love me anymore…"
Morticia: " I would never think that babe… and I’m sorry about all the cutting again… I promise to God that I’m trying to stop it all… it’ll end tonight for sure."
Eli: " It better, I can’t watch you cry and bleed so much… it’s just hard to see all that at once…"
Morticia: " I’m sorry you had to see my mom go off in a rage like that…"
Eli: " It’s okay, I’d rather know who’s gonna be you’re mom’s spirit when we die sooner than later…"
(Morticia laughs a little)
Morticia: " Ain’t that the truth?..."
Eli: " I gotta go before mom gets home but always know that I love you babe…"
Morticia: " I do, and I love you too. Bye."
(Eli gets into his car and leaves while Morticia sits by her slashed family tree)
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Morticia: " I can't belive shit like that just happened... it's pretty God damn crazy..."
(Morticia looks at the blood dried on her blade and then at her scars)
Morticia: " I wonder if mom saw more than she wanted to see..."
(Morticia begins to worry)
Morticia: " She couldn't have seen those scars... she's a spirit... what can that bitch see?"
(Morticia realizes that it's time to end everything and she runs down to the kitchen)
.............................................................................................................................................
(Morticia walks into the kitchen and begins to talk to amalia)
Morticia: " Hey amalia, there's something wrong at the venue and they need you there as soon as you can get there..."
Amalia: " I'm on my way. What the hell happened?..."
Morticia: " The decorations of glass fell from the shelves... and they all broke."
Amalia: " Oh my God... this is worse that what mom had ever told us."
Morticia: " I know... you'd better get there."
amalia: " I'm going."
(amalia gets into her car and leaves to get to the venue)
...............................................................................................................................................
(Morticia is in the kitchen alone and goes to grab a knife from the set)
Morticia: " I know it isn't right to leave my Eli, but i have to..." (begins to cry)
Morticia: " I know that in my mind, i'll somehow be alright..."
(Morticia takes out her blades and slashes up her arms and hands until she is bleeding all over)
Morticia: " Oh my God, it hurts like a bitch!..."
(Morticia winces as she moves out the door and into the back roads by her tree)
.................................................................................................................................................
(Morticia sits by her tree and sings her song for one last time.................. she finishes the song and she now holds up the knife to the tree and slashes into it " I will always be with you Eli")
Morticia: " (begins to cry) It's time..."
(she holds the kife up to her throat and cries harder)
Morticia: " Be a bitch and just do it already!!!!..."
(she stabs the kife through as hard as she can to make sure she will die)
Morticia: " Oh my God... (as she cries) This is the end.... Now i know.... (struggles to speak) What it feels, like...)
(Morticia dies on the ground by her family tree with her name engraved on it along with " I will always be with you Eli")
.........................................................................................................................................................
(Morticia is on the ground with the knife still in her hands as amalia arrives at home curious to find Morticia)
amalia: " Where are you Morticia!?"
(No one answers her)
amalia: " Morticia, where in the hell are you bitch!?"
(no one answers her still)
amalia: " (thinks) Oh no..."
(steals Morticia's phone from off the couch and looks through her contacts to find Eli's number)
amalia: " Gotta call Eli.. gotta call him..."
(amalia finds Eli's number and dials it, the phone rings................... Eli picks up)

Eli: " Hey babe, it's me."
amalia: " It's amalia."
Eli: " I really gotta ask who it is first..."
amalia: " Something's wrong!..."
Eli: " What happened?..."
amalia: " It's Morticia, she won't answer me when i call her... what if mom did something to her again..?"
Eli: " Relax amalia, i'll be right there... hang on."
amalia: " You'd better be."
(amalia hangs up the phone and sits on the couch)
amalia: " Wait!.... i gotta check on her tree!..."
(amalia runs out to the back roads unaware that she is about to see her dead sister)
........................................................................................................................................................
(amalia stops dead in her footsteps)
amalia: " Oh my God... No!!!."
(amalia runs over to Morticia's body)
amalia: " Mom, what the hell did you do to her?!... come out you bitch! Stop playing this game!!!!..."
(amalia realizes it was not her mom... it was Morticia who had killed herself, she saw the knife in her hand)
amalia: " Why Morticia, why did you leave early?..."
(amalia begins to cry as Eli pulls up in his car)
..........................................................................................................................................................
(amalia looks up at Eli with tears drenching her eyes)
Eli: " What happened..?..."
amalia: " Look..."
(amalia cries as eli stares down at the knife in her hand)
Eli: " This can't happen... Not to my Morticia." (cries)
amalia: " Mom, we're done with you... can't you see what you've done!!!?"
Eli: " I can't even think that it was all my fault because it was yours!"
Terra: " I have done no such thing my dear children...."
amalia: " Go rest in hell mom! I'm done!... i just want my sister back..."
(they both begin to cry as terra tries to soothe them)
Terra: " I will not see any such thing as hell amalia... for i know you wish me a fire as bright as the sun... i did not know you were already this bad..."
amalia: " This bad?... what in God's name are you talking about?!"
Terra: " You are a corrupted soul... i knew i should've taken you before it was too late... and yes, it is my fault for what has happned to you... although not with Morticia... my dear daughter."
Eli: " Then why did you watch her suffer?... why didn't you help her?"
amalia: " Why didn't you focus on her rather than me mom?!"
Terra: " Because i knew you had it worse but i didn't know she was going to go and kill herself like this... or else i would have done something about this..."
(amalia cries)
amalia: " You knew she was a cutter! Why didn't you stop her?!"
Terra: " I did not know she was a cutter of any sorts... why would she forsake me like that?.... i thought i taught her well enough before i left..."
amalia: " I guess you fucked everything up then!"
Terra: " I did no such thing to make you're sister do any of this... if i knew i would have helped her out of everything... but every spirit can only come to the world at certain times... now that she has met her end.. it is my time to be here to grieve for her...."
amalia: " Why couldn't you have been here all along?! We trusted you with our lives... you went and ended hers!... You're such a fithy bastard!"
Terra: " Give yourself time my dear amalia, you will one day see that all of this is for a purpose..."
amalia: " Why can't i know now.?...!"
Terra: " It is too early for you to know too much... for you will find out these things on you're own... remember that i love you and will always be here if you need to talk..."
amalia: " Why weren't you here when Morticia needed you then?!"
(no answer)
amalia: " Answer me Mom!"
(no answer still)
amalia: " Good, i'm glad you're gone!!!! Never come back you bitch! Never!"
(amalia and Eli are standing there in the rain)
.......................................................................................................................................................
(amalia goes over to Morticia's body and pulls out the blades from her pocket and goes over to her mom's family tree and engraves, " No one was here to help us..." and she puts the blades in her pocket)
amalia: " I wanna be done with this... everything is all fucked up now..."
Eli: " I know how you feel... she was my everything. And now, she's gone..."
amalia: " She's not all gone yet... i feel her presence, like her spirit is still with us..."
Eli: " Her spirit?..."
amalia: " If my mom can come back as a spirit... so can Morticia..."
Eli: " But i can't marry her spirit..."
amalia: " True, but you can still see her..."
Eli: " Yeah, but it's not the same as seeing her original beautiful face everyday... she made me so happy, and now it's all gone."
amalia: " I know what you mean Eli. Try to move on though... as i will."
Eli: " You can't just move on from shit like this..."
amalia: " It'll be hard as is anything else... please try to remember that Morticia loved you..."
Eli: " I know she did..."
amalia: " I'm gonna go email everyone that the wedding is off..."
Eli: " You do that, i'm gonna stay here for awhile."
amalia: " Do you want one of her blades?..."
Eli: " Yeah..."
(amalia gives Eli one of Morticia's blades and Eli puts it in his pocket as amalia leaves to go email everyone the new wedding status)

Eli: " i will always be with you Eli..."
(Eli looks at the engravings and cries out for his love)
Eli: " Why did you leave me?....."
(Eli falls asleep by her tree with Morticia's body turned so her face is looking at him)
.........................................................................................................................................................
(Eli is in his dreams, he wonders where Morticia is and when he finds her... he is overjoyed to see her once again. Eli runs over to her, he reaches out his hand as she slowly fades away as eli is screaming "don't leave me!". In a frenzy eli wakes up.)
Eli: " It was all a dream..."
(Eli looks at Morticia's cold face in the rain. he wonders why she has done this as he takes the knife from her hands and puts it in his sweater pocket)
Eli: " Why babe...?... why now?...."
(eli cries softly as he slits his palm with her old blade)
Eli: " Now i know what it feels like too...."
(Eli gets up and gets into his car, but before he gets into the car... he kisses Morticia goodbye for the last time)
Eli: " I will miss you forever my love."
(eli gets in the car and drives away)
............................................................................................................................................................

Pasture nicholas: " She had never done anything like this ever before though... i never thought she would resort to that kind of thing..."
amalia: " Apparently she has...."
Pasture nicholas: " It's just hard for me to imagine her doing this sort of thing..."

Eli: " Yeah, i saw her last engraving on the tree and it said (eli quotes the tree)."

(Eli looks down at Morticia and begins to lay his hand on her chest as he says the poem he wrote about their marrige that he was going to read to her)
Eli: " When i saw you walking into the room, my day got brighter... my life lit up. I was joyful to have you here with me as i went through good and bad... it was hard without you. Now i see that all i need is you to be truly happy. Love can touch us one time and it really will last for a lifetime... Or at least our love will last for a lifetime. When i am sad, when i cry... you are always there to comfort me and be there to support me through everything i do. I am lucky i have you or i don't know what i would do with the rest of my life. Without you, there is no meaning anymore."
(Eli finishes his poem and closes his eyes as if he knows Morticia was listening to every word)
