Chapter 17

Alexa: Come on Kayla. We got to help Lane.
Kayla: Hey, if you got a death wish…by all means go, but I for one DON’T want to die.
Alexa: Come on. (She grabs Kayla and pulls her upstairs)
(They go upstairs and knock on Elena’s door)
Alexa: We got your mail Lane.
Kayla: (runs to the corner, sits down, and rocks back and forth) FIND A HAPPY PLACE! FIND A HAPPY PLACE!
(Opens the door and walks in)
Alexa: Lane you ok?
Elena: (sitting on the edge of her bed playing with the TV remote) Yeah.
Alexa: Lane…the TV is off.
Elena: Is that why it’s not working…damnit I knew something was wrong.
Alexa: Lane, you got to stop this. You can’t go on just sitting in you’re room watching TV all day.
Elena: Why not, what’s wrong with that?
Alexa: LANE NO! Now come on. This isn’t you. What the hell is going on?
Elena: Well, I’ve been thinking.
Kayla: (screams from the hallway) That can’t be good.
Elena: No really, I got it all figured out. The duck helped me.
Alexa: (slowly afraid to hear the answer) Lane…what duck?
Elena: This one. (She pulls a giant stuffed duck out from underneath her bed) He’s been helping me think.
Alexa: O…K…Lane…give me the duck.
Elena: (hands duck to Alexa) No really. I know that I’ve been a little weird these past few days…
Kayla: THAT’S FOR SURE!
Elena: And I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have put you guys through that, but I have a plan.
Alexa: And the duck helped you with it?
Elena: Sort of, anyways, I need you guys to help me with it.
Kayla: AS LONG AS YOU DON’T THROW ANYTHING!
Elena: I wasn’t the one who threw things.
Kayla: HEY LAY OFF IT.
Elena: Sorry, I also need the guys to help…would you help me PLEASE?
Alexa: Sure we will.
Kayla: (coming into the room) Anything to get you out of those funky pj’s.
Elena: Good now, here’s the plan…
(Elena explains what her plan is to Alexa and Kayla. Alexa calls Brian and explains everything and the guys agree to help.)
