The Last Time

1. Int. Car. Day
Kevin is driving the car and Alexis sit next to him stares outside the window. Their favorite song is playing on the radio.
[Kevin]
So, that’s it? 3 minutes and your laptop is fixed? How did he do that?

[Alexis]
The magic of Zack’s hands maybe.

They both laughs.

[Alexis]
At least, it was a perfect time to say goodbye to them. I’m gonna miss my office.

[Kevin]
You can survive, Lex.

Alexis sings the song and suddenly stop.

[Alexis]
(stare at Kevin)
Can we survive, Kev? Two years?

Kevin turn his head, look to Alexis.
FADE TO BLACK

2. Int. Living room. Day
Alexis sit down on the couch. Kevin sit down on the floor leaning on Alexis. He checks Alexis laptop, opens the picture’s folder, and copies to his external hard disk. Keep himself busy with the laptop.

Alexis POV
She looks around the living room. Table, couch, family photos, and three luggage in the corner of the room. Then she look at the laptop on Kevin’s lap.

[Alexis]
Try to play the playlist on the iTunes. It’s very me. I almost remember all that songs. Listen to it everyday.

Kevin look up to her and smile. Teases Alexis.

[Kevin]
Sure, I will.
(Tap on Alexis knee)

[Alexis]
Don’t forget to finish the cake.
(Point on a plate full of cake on the table in front of them)
My mom is going to check it anytime.
(Chuckles)

[Kevin]
I have to buy a new pants if I stay here for another day.
(Tap on his stomach)

Alexis laughs. She takes the plate and offer it to Kevin. They laughs. Kevin cuddle her and kiss Alexis forehead.

[Kevin]
So what time are you gonna wake up tomorrow? Don’t forget to wake me up, okay.

[Alexis]
I will. I’m going to kill you if you’re not there. 4 AM okay.
(Points her index finger to Kevin’s head)

[Kevin]
So everything is packed up already? It’s a big luggage over there.

[Alexis]
You should’ve help me packing the other day.

Kevin doesn’t give any response. He is busy with the laptop. Keep on looking all those pictures. He take a picture of himself through the web cam. Alexis join him on the second shot. Kevin realizes something different with Alexis when he sees her face expression. She looks wondering about something.

[Kevin]
Don’t try to look tough now, Lex. I’m still here with you, you can share anything.

Alexis remains silent. Pretends she doesn’t hear anything. She just sings a song. Kevin doesn’t to ask any further.

[Kevin]
Okay, I think I’ll go now. You better go to sleep now, Lex. It will be a long trip tomorrow. I’ll see you on the airport then.

Kevin takes all his belonging. Alexis stands up and walk to the door, remain silent.

3. Ext. Garden. Night
Kevin walks toward her and put his arm around Alexis’s shoulder tries to comfort her. Alexis look at Kevin, smiles but doesn’t any word. They stands beside the car. Kevin stares at Alexis. Alexis looks down and suddenly sit on the grass. She drown her face on her knees. Her body shakes and she is crying. Kevin never expect this situation. He bends his knees, stands in front of Alexis.

[Kevin]
Hey Alexis, why are you crying? Let me see your face.

Kevin lifts her chin up. Alexis shakes her head answering no. She wipes her tears off.

[Alexis]
Sorry, Kevin. I shouldn’t do this in front of you.

Alexis stands up and wipes her tears again. Kevin follows her.

[Alexis]
(Sighs)
I’m tough. I can handle this.
(Smile trying to convince Kevin)

Kevin hugs her. Stares at her, smile, then go inside the car. Turn on the engine and left. Alexis waves to him with no more tears. She tries to smile. Then she grabs her phone from his short’s pocket and send a text message to Kevin.
