Chapter 14

(Nick gets up and goes inside the house to Elena’s room. He knocks on the door)
Elena: Come in.
Nick: (opens the door and goes in) Hi.
Elena: Hi.
Nick: Alexa wants to know if you need anything.
Elena: How nice of her, you can tell her I’m fine.
Nick: Ok. (Turns to leave then stops and turns back around) This is stupid.
Elena: What is?
Nick: Why aren’t we talking to each other?
Elena: I’m talking, I just don’t feel good.
Nick: Is that the real reason you aren’t outside with us?
Elena: Yes it is. What are you saying?
Nick: Nothing.
Elena: Fine don’t believe me, but I really am sick.
Nick: Uh huh.
Elena: Fine.
Nick: Fine…why won’t you talk to me?
Elena: I think I am right now.
Nick: That’s not what I meant. Why won’t you talk to me about what happened with your grandmother?
Elena: Because there’s nothing to talk about. She died and that’s it. There’s nothing else to say.
Nick: Bull shit Elena. Everyone knows you are taking this really hard and yet you won’t talk to anyone, why is that?
Elena: Why does everyone keep saying that I’m having a hard time with this? I’m not, I’M FINE!
Nick: Ok then, why are you always moping around the house? Why didn’t you come with us when we went out to the movies the other night? Why aren’t you downstairs right now at the barbecue?
Elena: I told you Nick, I don’t feel good.
Nick: That’s what you keep saying, but I don’t believe that.
Elena: So now you’re calling me a liar?
Nick: I suppose I am.
Elena: Oh. Well then I guess you don’t know me that well then huh?
Nick: I thought I knew you…but then all this happened…you’re right, I don’t know you anymore.
Elena: I think you should leave now.
Nick: Fine, good bye.
Elena: Bye.
(Nick leaves. He goes outside to pick up his stuff)
Brian: (notices that Nick is picking up his stuff) Nick…Nick what happened? Where are you going?
Nick: Home, I don’t belong here anymore. (Nick leaves)
Kayla: Ummm I take it that’s not a good sign.
Kevin: I don’t think it is.
