EXT.Outside residence.day

Luke stumbles back still drunk from the night before. He finds it hard to stand up straight and with difficulty manages to put his key in the door.

INT.hallway/bedroom.day

Luke makes it to his hallway and crashes through his bedroom door to get to his bedroom. He falls onto it and goes straight into a deep sleep.

He wakes up fully clothed and on top of his covers. He checks his clock and sees that it is mid afternoon, he grabs his phone and checks it, he has one missed call from his mother and goes outside to ring her back. He lights up a cigarette and dials the phone.

Luke

Hey Mum, you rang me earlier but I was in a lecture…. What do you mean, How serious!? Well what did the doctor say?…..I’m coming home..no I am, I’ll be home in the next few days, just stay at home and rest and I will be there as soon as I can I promise… I love you too.

Luke hangs up the phone and slumps back against the wall. He finishes his cigarette and runs back up to his room. He grabs his wallet and a jacket and heads towards campus.

EXT.Cash point by the arts center.day

Luke queues up in the cash point with his card in his hand. He is hesitant about looking at his balance, tapping his card on his hand and not being able to stand still. He walks up to the cash point and puts his card in, he sighs under his breath

Luke

Please …..

The look on Luke’s face says it all, he presses the cancel button and retrieves his card. He leaves the cash point and heads back to his room.

INT.HALLWAY.DAY

Luke enters the hallway and slams the door behind him, one of his flat mates hears him come in and opens the bedroom door to see what the matter was. Luke barges past him and goes straight into his room. His flat mate re-collects himself and goes and knocks on Luke’s door.

Iwan

Luke (knocks) Luke, are you OK

Luke

Just leave me alone I’m fine, just go away.

Iwan

Alright mate I’m here if you need me.

Iwan goes back to his room and leaves Luke alone.

int.bedroom.day

Luke sits on his chair by his desk staring blankly at the computer screen that is in front of him. (Need to show a weeks worth of time going past, using a clock or Luke moving round his room doing certain things in extreme speed)

Int.kitchen.day

Two of Luke’s housemates are in the kitchen drinking a cup of tea and talking. Both are laughing over a joke when the conversation turns to Luke’s lack of appearance over the last few days.

Iwan

Have you seen Luke at all over the past week or so, last time I saw him he was acting strange, ran into his room and I haven’t heard a single noise since.

Nicci

Nope I haven’t seen him either apart from up at campus, he didn’t even acknowledge I was there!

Iwan

Its weird, I’m getting worried, we need to talk to him and see if he’s ok.

They leave the kitchen and go to Luke’s bedroom. They knock the door but there is no answer, they knock again louder.

Iwan

Luke…LUKE open up we know you’re in there, come on we only want to chat… we’re worried, for fuck sake just let us know you’re alright.

Iwan and Nicci are about to walk back into the kitchen when they hear the door being opened from the inside. They walk in and the door shuts.

INT.BEDROOM.DAY

Nicci is cuddling Luke on his bed and Iwan is sat on the chair opposite.

iwan

Why the hell didn’t you tell us what was going on, we’ve been worried sick

luke

I don’t know, I just didn’t want to worry anyone else. I thought it was easier if I just kept it to myself.

nicci

You idiot you know its easier to talk and we’re always here no matter what! its been a week, we’ll sort something out we promise

Luke

Thank’s guys.

The scene fades with all three of them talking again and Luke smiling that his friends are with him.

INT.BEDROOM.DAY

Its the next day and Luke wakes up and gets out of bed, getting ready for the day ahead, he has decided not to let things keep him down and do something about his situation. He walks to the bathroom and as he does he notices the envelope on the ground, he picks it up and there are 2 tickets and a note inside. The note reads : Luke, if you ever keep anything from us again we will be very angry, love from Iwan and Nicci. He leaves the room and heads for the Kitchen, through the window you can see them all stand up and embrace.

He waits for the bank page to load. He looks at the page to see that there is no longer any money in there as he has wasted it all. He leans back in his chair for a brief second and then looks around for his phone. He picks it up and dials.

Luke

Hey mate… no I haven’t been yet….look I got something to tell you, the money..its..its gone…. Please mate don’t be like that I’ll explain everything, come over now and get everyone else as well… See you in a….
