Touches on the true realities of drug addiction, alcoholism, sexuality and poverty.

Arran: Dear Jake, I'll begin

by saying sorry that it's been

so long.

As you may know yourself life

can be hectic. Max is growing

ever bigger and driving

his marvelous antics but we

don't mind. His recent

discovery of football is his

major obsession.

We go and watch at the local



club on Sundays while Julie

cooks us splendid rice.

girlfriends and kids in a

normal mundane life. If I say

nmundane I'm saying it in aay

good way.

Honest what we like for

the world.

We're off on a holiday next

week. It's going to be great

to spend some time

on the beach with the family.

onGet so used to travelingly.

on my own for work



osometimes we actually

getting around holiday

Julie deserves it just as

does Max.

She works so hard looking

after him.

How are you and Hannah? Still

looking for a new house?

I can't believe we've not all

met up since the kids were born

- madness in

a distance and getting time

off to meet does make

it hard.

I'm sure that Carrie and Max

will get along great too.

Well, better write off here.

All the best to you my friend,

Arran.

Hannah: Are you okay? Jake

talk to me. Jake: Of course

I'm okay.

Hannah: This is the third time

this week.

thiJake, did you hear what I

said? Jake: Yes.

Hannah: You don't have to be

sharp. I'm worried, that's

all.

Jake: The fuck you are doing

me a favor.

Hannah: I'm just concerned.

This isn't normal.

You're starting to get this on

and off all the time and now

three nights in

a row, Jake: Look would you

stop ratting about it.

Hannah: How about tomorrow? We

go shopping in the morning.

gJake: Hannah, just shut the

fuck up and go back to sleep.

It's constant with you, isn't

it? You keep going on and on

and fucking on.

I'm going out anyway. Hannah:

Out?

Jake: Don't even start. Let me

tell you I'm not feeling too

good

and I don't need you whining

in my ear. Just go back to

sleep.

Annie: I just came around to

check on how you were all

doing.

Hannah: We're fine. We're

great.

Is this going to take long,

Annie? I need to go to

Carrie's school.

Annie: Hannah, as part of

social services it's my job to

come around and check on

anyone any time. I don't think

you understand the severity

of the situation.

You're a young mother with a

repeated history of problems

with your spouse.

It's my job to make sure that

Carrie is healthy and happy.

Hannah: It's not really your

job though, is it Annie?

It's my job. I'm her mother.

Annie: We're not going to go

away until we see some

improvements.

Hannah: I don't have time for

this. Annie: Well I suggest

you begin to make time.

I'd hate for this to become a

more serious issue.

mHannah: So would I. Annie:

Will Jake be joining us?

Hannah: He's not here. Annie:

That's usually the case when I

Thcome around. I really wouldI

like to see Mr.

Harris. I hope that we can

start sorting out these issues

until you're both present.

Hannah: Well I can't help you

with that. Annie: So if I pen

in another visit for

a couple of weeks' time could

you speak to Mr. Harris and

ask him to be present?

Hannah: I can't promise you

that, no. Annie: Are you and

Jake having problems

at the moment? Hannah: No.

Annie: And is Carrie going to

school every day?

Hannah: Yes. And if you don't

believe me you can call

bethe school. Annie: Hello

Carrie, how are you?

Carrie: I'm good.

Mom, I need to go to school.

Hannah: One minute, I'm just

speaking to Annie.

Hannah: I really need to go to

school. Is there anything I

can do for you Annie?

Maybe you'd like to check

Carrie for signs of abuse or

psychoanalyze her before

you leave? Annie: I'm just

doing my job, Miss Miler.

I really would like you to.

speak to Mister Harris and ask

him to be present.

We need to sort out a family

meeting soon.

Hannah: Well at least you're

set. We need to set up another

meeting rather

than turning up uninvited.

Annie: Well I'll be on my way

then, Hannah. I'll see myself

out.

Hannah: Hey. Lisa: Hey babe,

are you all right?

aHannah: Got a bit of time?

Lisa: Always for you.

Come in.

So? Come on then.

Out with it. Hannah: Out with

what?

Lisa: You rang my house about

20 minutes off school drop

off.

Something's up. Jake being a

cunt

again? Hannah: He didn't come

back last night.

bacLisa: That's a fucking

miracle.

Hannah: Lisa I'm being

serious. I haven't seen him

since one am.

Lisa: You never know, maybe

he's left for good, happy

days.

Hannah: He had a bad dream

Lisa: Oh, so last night he

decided he was

Mike Tyson and gave you a word

and now he's having a

Almstreet moment.

You've got yourself right past

that, babe. Hannah: This is

serious.

He's getting these bad dreams

all the time, lashing out,

talking to me like shit.

Lisa: Why do you say then?

He's cleaning up his fucking

nuts.

Hannah: Because we've been

together since we were 18 and

we have a daughter.

It's more complicated than

just upping and leaving.

Lisa: No, you should have stayed

around me mum. I would have

shown you the right path to 18.

shoHannah: What's that, bed 18.

hopping?

Lisa: Cheeky bitch.

I'll have you know I may have

seen a few mor beds than your

but I ain't got a kid or ayour

psycho for a longterm boyfriend

Hannah: Maybe he's seeingfriend

someone else. Lisa: Hopefully.

soYou can ditch the dick andy.

find yourself a real man.

Did you just do that? Hannah:

Yes, I did.

Lisa: This is on now.

Hannah: No, I'd rather go home

after tea and see if he's

arrived.

Lisa: You're coming to the

party or if you don't

or she'll never forgive you.

Hannah: Ooh, what a scary

prospect.

Lisa: Fuck off. Get up, get

your coat on we're going

to get pie eyed.

It's only 10 in the morning

How 'bout if it's 11, and by

the way get up

Jake: To Arran, I hope this

reaches you in time before

your holiday.

I had a dream the other night,

well more of a memory.

wMe and you were about 14 and

playing in the fields like we

used to in the summer.

It was strange looking back

and thinking how we are now.

Great to hear that you, Julie,

and Max are well, we're

fantastic as well.

Hannah and I are thinking of

maybe get married. We just

mknow it's the next step we

want

to take. We barely have any

arguments and you know

how arguments can be. Carrie's

still in school play at the

moment and I'm continuing to

be the good old salesman I am.

bDoing really well at work,am.

sold 23 cars in the last two

soweeks,sure a promotion iso

in the cards soon.

I'm sure your job is amazing

as ever. It would be nice to

get away for the

weekend, I haven't seen you

and Julie in years now.

I know me and Hannah would

love to visit you. Enjoy your

holiday and don't forget to

send me one of those regular

postcards. Take care, Jake.

Hannah: You only had to ask.

Jake: Just go and turn on the

shower for

me, would you? Hannah: How

about do it yourself?

Oh and one more thing what's

so wrong with me?

Than rather than wait for me

to get back last night or

spend time with me you had

to go in the bedroom and went

the minute you got here from

wherever you've been

last night? One thing I know

is fuck it's to do with you?

Hannah: You're sick.

Jake: I've been sick of you

since the day I met you.

Hannah: I'm going to pick up

our daughter.

oI'm going to come home, put

dinner on,

do lunches for tomorrow, wash

clothes, the usual stuff.

Jake: You got to be good for

something haven't you.

Hannah: Well, it seems I'm the

only one doing something

around here.

You can always try getting a

job.

Carrie: Mommy. Hannah: Yup.

Carrie: Why are we not walking

home the right way?

hHannah: Because I'm going to

let you stay with Auntie Lisa

tonight.

Carrie: Won't Daddy mind?

Hannah: No, Daddy never minds.

I dropped Carrie off at

Lisa's.

They're going to a party

tonight.

Lisa's nephew is having a

party.

She asked me earlier today if

Carrie would like to go.

CShe's about the same age as

Greg.

Greg is having a dinner with

fireworks after.

I thought it would be good for

Carrie to meet some new

Carrpeople, maybe make some

friends.

It beats being stuck in her

bedroom all day, huh?

I'll make dinner then.

Lisa: Oh, you look like a

really beautiful princess,

Carrie.

Carrie: I like my hair being

done. Lisa: And I like doing

your hair, sweetie.

Are you ready to party?

Carrie: Yes.

Lisa: Good girl, I'll get our

coats. Carrie: Why do

cosometimes Daddy shouts at

Mommy?

Lisa: Because sometimes they

just get angry when they're

not having a very nice day.

It doesn't mean they don'tay.

love you though and it doesn't

mean they don't love

each other.

Female Speaker: That means

you're a woman. Ethan: Yes,

fucking right, I do.

Hey beautiful. Kyle: Don't do

this to me again.

Ethan: Don't be a fucking pussy

and get me a lighter.

Kyle: Where did you go the

other week? Ethan: What?

Kyle: When you left me here

after promising me all sorts.

Ethan: I can't be prop what too

many drugs do to you.

Kyle: Fuck off, Ethan.

Ethan: I can make it up to

you.

Kyle: And how's that?

Ethan: Shuck time for the oyster

Female Speaker: No, you're not

going out. Jake: But

everyone's going out.

Everyone's going out on his

own. Please I'll be good.

Female Speaker: You're not

going. And let me tell you

something else.

If your father was still

alive, if he saw what I saw

the other day he would whip

the

skin off your ass. Jake: I'm

not doing anything wrong.

Female Speaker: Who said you

were doing anything wrong?

You're a child trying to be an

adult.

adBut it doesn't work, you're

too stupid

to be an adult. Jake:

Someone's got to be an adult.

Female Speaker: And what do

you mean by that?

Don't start lecturing me you

little shit. Fuck knows why I

kept you.

You're the spawn of your

father.

You are never going to turn

out right.

Jake: Mom, don't. Female

Speaker: Don't what?

Tell the truth, you're too

young to be carrying on the

way you are fucking littlee

shit.

alone, you're staying in.

knFemale Speaker: I do son, I

You're ol man is

the only reason you're still

If I had my way you'd be

pulled out faster than you

were put in.

Lisa: Are you going to be all

right being here by yourself

tonight?

Hannah: Yes, it's fine Lisa.

You've been amazing.

It's been two weeks. I doubt

he's coming..

I hope not anyway. Lisa: If he

does come back just run,

dget out of the house and come

to mine. Hannah: Yes.

Lisa: Do you still love him?

Hannah: I've been with him

since we were

18, that's seven years. He's

the father of my child, of

course I

love him. Lisa: I don't get

that though after

everything's he's done.

Hannah: I don't get it either.

HHow do you stop lovingeither.

someone? Lisa: I never asked

what the fuck's the use there.

Hannah: What am I going to do

about Carrie? Lisa: She'll be

fine, she always is.

And about her - you need some

time. You're stressed out

babe.

I'll take Carrie for a pizza

and sleepover. How about it?

Hannah: She'd like thatt it?

you're great. Lisa: All right

youthen, I'll get her fromght

school.

Hannah: Amazing, you're a real

diamond. Lisa: I know.

dI'll have to drop her back in

the afternoon, I've got a

house party in the evening.

Hannah: Oh God, messy times

ahead then. Anyone I know?

Lisa: He went to school with

us, you wouldn't know him.

he's a couple of years younger.

I only know him because my

I mom used to know his. my

He's a bit of a troump out.

Hannah: Fair play.

Well have fun with your

dropout mates. Lisa: Really I

intend to.

Jake: Arran, you should be

back from your holiday by the

time this reaches you.

It's been about three weeks,

not one bit of contact.

I was thinking the other day

about the old days when we

were young.

You remember what happened

that night in my house.

What was that really about? I

try to work out even now, the

mates

really do that. My mama

certainly didn't think so.

I still have to live with that

haunting memory of her every

day.

No one should have to live

with that. Where's the

postcard?

Not like you to forget. Maybe

all this time since you've

been

a way of keeping

up with your old friend this

time.

I like to think not or maybe

Julie's keeping you away.

She never did like me. And to

be honest maybe we can drop

the

act now. I didn't fucking like

her either.

heI'm surprised you've been

together just as long as me

and Hannah.

From the age of 16

Julia drop her

I suppose you never saw the

video of her touching your

vimate Ben's cock in theur

youth conf in

2005. She had only been 17.

Shes got seedy little past madam

maybe you should ask her about

that one day.

Well I'm sending her one big

fat fucking regards.

Maybe then you could also man

up and tell her you're coming

to visit me and shut her

mouth before you teach her a

good lesson and show her what

a cunt you really can be.

Because let's face it Arran,

you are one, one massive lie

and sanctimonious

cunt, sending me your letters

about your fantastic home

life, showing off and being

holier than though in each and

every one. So let's cut the

bullshit, Hannah's

a drag, a big old fucking

drag. I find her about as

attractive as a piece

of shit. She leaves in my

house, she eats my food,

makes shit dinners, and all

I've really wanted to do is

die so I can have my peace

and quiet. Without columber

carry off

from someone else too and be

the person I want to be.

I mean I'm no family man but

neither are you really.

nYou spend most of the year

travelling far and wide and

the big off

with girlfriend and child. I

suppose this arrangement suits

you all well.

Because let me tell you

bezzy when you run

out of the big bucks

your misses most deeping cocks

most nights but you know

mit's the perfect day today.

I'm sure your business trips

to Thailand

must be your favorite. What

did you do?

Work and spend the rest of the

trip on some stereotypical

store and getting

noshed off by Thai guy. You're a

fucking shit, Arran, and I'm

fucsure your wife wouldd I'm

relish and trip if she knew

it.

So I reckon within a week I'll

get your reply.

Well, I'm going to stop

doing some talking. Sincerely

yours and fucked off, Jake.

So subtle you are.

Start talking or I'll slice

your fucking throat. Carla:

What do you want?

Jake: Why are you following

me?

meCarla: To see where you

worked. Jake: Why?

Carla: Because I am.

Ethan wanted to see where you

worked. I told him about the

picture in your

wallet and must have gotten

him thinking. Jake: I need you

to go quietly,

you're going to go home,

you're going to pack your

bags, and fuck off.

Carla: I'm not leaving. Jake:

You're going home, you're

going to

pack your bags, and don't say

anything to Ethan because if

you do I've got your number.

All the clubs you set foot in

right up to the hilts. Do you

understand?

Carla: Yes. Jake: Fuck off.

Hannah: Who's this? Annie:

Hannah, could you open the

door please?

It's Annie. Hannah: Annie, can

you come back another day?

I'm not very well. Annie: This

won't take long.

wOpen the door please. Hannah:

Please.

I'll ring you and we can set

another day. Annie: Open the

door, Miss Miller.

We will come back later and

open it by force if we have

to.

What the hell's happened?

Hannah: I had an accident.

Annie: Oh Hannah, you think I

haven't heard that before?

Hannah: Well you can believe

whatever you want.

wHave you seen my cut site?

Annie: Well no, I

can't say I have.

Hannah: Well that's because

it's written up so you carry

it's on making your wildarry

assumptions.

Annie: Do you want to talk

about it? Hannah: Not really.

Annie: Is Carrie around?ally.

Hannah: She's in school, you

know,

that was one of the targets

you sent me, to make sure

she's attending.

Annie: Is Mr. Harris around?

Hannah: We split up. Annie: Oh

really?

Hannah: Yes, really.

Annie: What brought this on?

AHannah: Things haven't been

working out and he's met

someone else.

Annie: You expect me to

believe that? I come around

here you're covered in

bruises, some wild story about

an accident, and you're

telling me you've

split up. Hannah: We have,

asked around.

None of our neighbors would

have seen him for two weeks

either.

Besides, they can usually hear

the arguments.

thI bet they'll tell you it's

been quiet as anything.

They're having a wonderful

time.

Annie: Well I'll have to take

some more information from

you, Hannah.

Hannah: Go ahead, I'm all

ears.

Ethan: Carla.

Carla. Carla did you follow

Jake?

Carla: Yes, it's alright that we

woke em up then.

Ethan: What are you doing?

Carla: I'm going to my Mom's a

bit. I'm taking the jeep.

The police are on to me, I've

got to take it out to be safe.

gEthan: You ain't taking oure.

whole supply. Carla: Well the

police will find

everything here.

Ethan: So go ahead, who's on

to us? Carla: Ethan, I haven't

got time for

this, just let me go. Ethan:

You haven't got time because

you're fucking lying.

Carla: Okay, fine, I'll take

my half and go.

Ethan: What's the rush?

Carla: Ethan, I'm going, just

leave it.

lNow don't tell anyone where

I'm going especially your

fucking bum buddy.

Now I didn't say this but he's

got a locker on the industrial

stage

that's where he went today.

Don't ask him about it because

he'll know

that I fucking told you.

Hannah: Why did you turn up

this morning? I needed to

shoot myself

Lisa: What? She actually

bought your story?

Hannah: Yes. Lisa: Bullshit.

I can't believe she did for a

minute. Hannah: Well she left

after she took some notes.

Lisa: Why did you tell her,

Hannah? Hannah: Scared I

guess.

Lisa: Scared of what? Hannah:

They'll take Carrie away.

I look at her and actually I

feel I achieved something in

life like most

parents do I suppose. I've

been spat on, beaten down,

used but

after all that I have my

little girl. Lisa: And you

always will, gorgeous.

Don't forget your friends

either. Hannah: Of course, I

would be no one

without you. I'm going to make

a move now.

aYou okay to have Carrie over?

Lisa: Of course it is, any

time babe.

Hannah: She loves seeing you.

Give me a chance to sort the

house out.

Lisa: Yes. Go, relax, stop

worrying all the time,

woyou're a free bird now.

Hannah: Okay.

Carrie.

Give Mommy a hug. She's going

now.

Be good to Auntie Lisa.

Lisa: That I am.

So Carrie what do you think of

fish and chips? Carrie: Yehey.

Hannah: Let's go.

Ethan: looking pretty good out

there Kyle: What do you want,

Ethan?

Ethan: Just came to see how

you were shaping up.

Kyle: Well I come here to get

away from everything including

you.

Ethan: Thanks. Kyle: What do

you want me to say?

You pick me up and put me down

as you please. You know how I

feel and you just don't care.

Ethan: I never said I didn't.

care. Kyle: Why do you what

you do if you care?

I don't know who put it in

your head that made you think

you're so desirable.

You live for the drugs, the

potties, the showing around,

living in some shit flat

basically going nowhere int

life yet you think you're this

great person, the life

and soul of the party but

you're not Ethan, you're a

mess.

And the only one who sees past

your bullshit façade is me.

So you're just walking away

again instead of giving me an

answer once and for all?

You always want to start this

but you never want to finish

it.

I know you want me really but

you told me to forget it a

long time ago.

Ethan: You don't know the shit

you talk about. Kyle: I know

you feel for me.

What are you doing here?

You're here to keep the piece

of string I'm hanging on

going.

Ethan: I came here to watch a

friend and how the friend was

doing.

And if you must know I've met

someone. I may not have a lot

but at least I'm not

some fucked up poor little

lonely rich boy.

Kyle: I'd rather be lonely and

a good person than popular, a

liar, a thief,

and a junkie.

Hannah: Where have you been

Jake? Jake: Out, stayed with

some friend.

Hannah: What are you talking

about? You haven't got any

friends.

Jake: Okay.

Hannah: Look I don't want any

trouble.

Jake: You got in trouble when

you opened that big fucking

mouth of yours.

Hannah: I think I paid my dues

for that. Jake: You're only

just starting to pay.

I need money. Hannah: I

haven't got any.

Jake: You lying bitch.

Hannah: So what are you going

to do? Rob me and leave Carrie

Jake: Carrie's at Lisa's,

isn't she? Hannah: No, she's

at my Mom's.

Jake: You're lying, Hannah. I

told you to stay here and

leave

everyone else out of it.

Hannah: Stay here?

I have stayed here. I couldn't

walk Carrie to school looking

walike I've been to a boxingg

match.

mI didn't know if you were

coming back.

Jake: You didn't know. You

didn't fucking know.

You hoped more like.

Worthless piece of shit.

Thirty quid, thirty fucking

quid, where's the rest?

qHannah: That's it. Jake:

You're lying.

You have money coming

yesterday. Where's the rest?

Hannah: That's all I've got, I

swear. Jake: Fuck you.

Hannah: Jake. Jake, please.

We can't go through all this.

Lisa: All right, all right.

Get the fuck out of my house.

Jake: You've got my fucking

daughter.

Lisa: Get out of my home,

Jake. Jake: You've got my

fucking daughter,

you tell me now, because I

will burn this fucking house

to the ground.

I will trash this shit hole.

You hear me?

Lisa: Yes, she's here and you

should carry on your way.

Get the fuck off. Jake: Listen

you take her back to my

yhouse tomorrow, you take her

back to Hannah, and if not

I'll fucking kill you,

you cunt. Lisa: Yes, all right

Jake, whatever,

Jajust get out of my fucking

house now. Jake: I'm going.

Just make sure you fucking do

it, all right?

I need a place to crash.

Ethan: Oh do you?

Jake: Where's Carla? Ethan: I

don't know, she left.

Jake: What? When? Ethan: Cut

the fucking bullshit, Jake.

What's in the locker? Where

did you go to work and where

did

you live? If you don't want to

answer my questions

afine, you can fuck off out of

my house. Jake: Ethan, what's

with -

Ethan: Do I look like

an idiot to you? Jake: Fine,

you want me to answer,

embarrass myself?

The locker, it's got my

belongings in it. My partner

left me the day before I met

you.

I've been looking for a place

to live for the past two

weeks.

Ethan: Sorry.

If you needed a place to crash

you only had to ask me.

yoYou could have stayed here.

Jake: You do?

Ethan: Yes. Do you want some

dinner? Jake: I'd love one of

your dinners

please, beautiful.

Ethan, thanks.

Ethan: Sure.

I'm having a party here

tomorrow night? Jake: Really?

Ethan: Yes. I want you pissed

off once in a while.

You in?

Jake: Definitely.

What are we going to do

tonight?

Ethan: We could watch a movie,

make some popcorn, go out

and lash

or we could just have a fuck.

Jake: All that you can getck.

done in one night? Ethan: Of

course, all you have to decide

is what order they're done in.

Lisa: Carla, fucking hell, I

haven't seen you around in

time.

Carla: Hey, can I come in an

check for Lisa. Lisa: Sure, come

inside.

Carla: You're going to Ethan's

party tonight yes?

Lisa: Sure I was two bout it but

yes I'm going.

yCarla: I don't live with Ethan

anymore. Lisa: Really? Since

when?

Carla: Since yesterday. Lisa:

Is Ethan bringing home stray

Lottis again?

Carla: Yes, picked one up a

couple of weeks ago.

This one's the right bastard,

yes, right. Lisa: A couple of

weeks ago you say?

Carla: Yes, some fucking

asshole named Jake.

What? Lisa: Are you going to

the party tonight?

Carla: No way, I'm not.

What are you looking like that

for? Lisa: How about I get you

a cup of tea

and then we'll talk?

Carla: Sure.

Julie: Hey.

By the way here's a letter.

It looks like you've got one

just in time from Jake.

jI still can't believe he

writes every week after all

this time.

Arran: You know why Julie,

he's experienced things many

things shouldn't have

experienced.

Julie: That isn't your problem

though.

thouArran: No, he's my best

friend-once.

Anyway, it's nice to see you

doing so well at last, isn't

it?

Julie: Okay, I'm going to go

get Max to school. Arran: Okay

Carla: Yes, I think I'll go

and keep her out wrong.

Thanks for telling me though.

I just want Ethan to be okay.

ILisa: Sorry babe, just give.

yourself two months to stay

there.

Carla: It's a pretty small

world, ain't it.

It's what you'd expect

on this one. Lisa: Wellct

I do have my uses. Just Carla

No matter what, don't get

yourself fucked up in it.

Carla: You talked to Ethan then?

CarLisa: Also that. If I canhen?

Jake: Nice to meet you, Lisa.

Lisa: Likewise Jake.

Ethan: Well why don't you two

I'll get us a fucking drink?

ILisa: No, I'll come. Ethan:

No, don't worry about it, I

know

how to be a fucking host.

Lisa: What the fuck are you

doing Jake? Jake: Fuck off.

Lisa: I ain't going nowhere.

Lisa: You'll fucking what,.

Jake: So Lisa, what kind of

work do you do then?

Lisa: I work with recovering

drug addicts but really I've

always been attracted to

mental health care. Jake:

Really?

ReaEthan: Fucking drug

addicts.

Lisa: Fuck off Ethan.

I don't know about you guys

I've known her since school.

Jake: Then you know Carla too

then? Lisa: Yes, as a matter

of fact she came

over for a drink earlier

today. Ethan: Did she? Is she

all right?

Lisa: To be honest Ethan and

no offense Jake I don't think

she gives a dick about you.

Ethan: Yes, well that'st you.

fucking too bad cuz none of us

fare about to here he fuckings

child ass some off.

Lisa: So what do you do for a

living Jake? Jake: I'm

unemployed at the moment.

Lisa: Oh, that's too bad. I'm

sure something will surface

soon.

Julie: You've been quiet all

day, babe. What's the matter?

dIs something wrong at work??

Arran: Work's fine.

Julie: You doing all right.

Arran: I'm fine.

Julie: Arran please talk to

me.

mIt's not like you mopping

around and being all

secretive.

Arran: I'm not the one being

secretive Julie. Julie: And

what's that supposed to mean?

Arran: You had it off with Ben.

AJulie: Sorry? Arran: Ben, myn.

friend who works with books

fyou hit it off with him.ks

Julie: Have you completely

lost your mind?

What are you talking about?

Youth club?

Arran: Just tell me.

Julie: I haven't been to a

youth club in eight or so

years.

Why are we talking about it?

Arran: Because I want to know.

Julie: I wasn't even with you

when I was 17. What does it

matter?

Arran: So that's a yes then?

How many other guys did you

fuck before we met?

Julie: Don't swear at me.

Since when do you do that?

Arran: Since I got pissed off

with the lies.

I bet you even have guys up

here when I'm away on my

trips.

You do, don't you?

Julie: Of course I don't.

Arran: Until today, Julie,

don't you ever, ever do

anything against me.

Slapper! Julie: How

dare you.

Hold the fucking just a

minute. You think I'm some

mindless little

housewife and mother? I've

seen more than you think and I

sealways have. Jake wrote youI

and told you this,

don't deny it. He never could

stand me, stand our happiness.

stHe hated me from the day we.

met at the club.

He latched on to Hannah

because she was my best friend

and he knew that he could

stay close to you by being

with her.

Arran: Finished?

You know nothing.

What you think you know you

don't.

You know nothing.

Julie: Arran, I know, I've

always known.

He was the bastard who comes

out of the middle of nowhere.

Julie: Please. Arran: He's the

bastard you fuck his brains out!

Fuck.

Where did you do it? Here?

Here?

Are you quite happy to suck

him up in our bed, fucking

bed?

Ethan: Roll over. Heather:

Ethan, hi Ethan, I've got a

bit

of a problem thing. Ethan:

What's that?

Heather: I've got a really

itchy punnit.

Ethan: Yes, I loved the way

you scratched earlier in your

fucking crops.

Jake: Get out, we need to

chat.

Lisa: I'd be delighted.

Jake: Go home, Lisa, go home

and you won't be a part of

this.

Lisa: I am a part of this

Jake. Carla told me

everything.

She told me you wereg.

gay, and you bullshit about your

secret locker and how you

bullshit your way past Ethan.

I didn't take him for no muff

I but you played him alonguff

perfectly. Jake: Go home.

Lisa: Carrie's back at home

and wondering why her mom's

got a black eye.

You never think, do you? Jake:

What did you tell her?

Lisa: Nothing, I told her

nothing. Back off Jake, I told

her nothing.

I bloody should have though

but I knew you'd break her

fucking heart if she knew

you had fucked your way into

another house. Jake: Fuck off.

anoLisa: What's your problemf.

Jake? You bloody bent?

Is that why you go around

beating up women because you

can't deal with the fact

that you've got nothing more

than a cock up your ass?

You hit me, you even try, and

I'll scream. I'll scream this

fucking street down

and everyone inside will know.

I'll tell them, you know I

will.

Jake: Shut your fucking mouth

you jumped up little whore.

Then I'll give you Ben and.

I'll fuck you right here now.

Your mate is trying to come on

to me, she's undone my belt.

Ethan: You dirty fucking cunt.

Lisa: Bumf now aren't you Jake

LisEthan: Will you fuck off?ke

Lisa: But -

Ethan: Fuck off.

Let me tell you, you better

have your fucking bags packed

and fuck off out of my

house, you stupid cunt.

Heather: You all right, Ethan?

Ethan: Go.

EtHeather: Ethan, I'm staying

the night. Ethan: Go.

tHeather: I've got all my

stuff. Ethan.

Ethan: Get out.

call me back if you get this.

Jake's

fucking lost it and Hannah's

not

in a good way.

Hannah: I thought I heard

voices out here.

What the fuck is going on? Why

are you shaking so much?

Lisa: Is Carrie in bed??

Hannah: Of course she is, it's

nearly midnight.

What's going on? Lisa: I

haven't been telling you

everything.

Hannah: About?

Lisa: Look, we haven't got

time for this. Get Carrie and

we're going.

Hannah: Would you slow down?

I'm not getting Carrie out and

I'm not

going anywhere until you talk

to me. Lisa: Let's do this

now.

Just get Carrie and a bag.

Hannah: I've got time Lisa,

I'm not going anywhere.

Lisa: I've seen Jake. Hannah:

Where?

Where?

Lisa where's my boyfriend?

Lisa: Have you got a drink or

something?

Hannah: Lisa.

Lisa: Don't hate me. I had to

make sure it was the right

Jake.

I had to make sure it was him

before I told you.

Hannah: Told me what? Lisa:

He's living and fucking some

bloke

and to make matters worse he's

already kicked the other

lodger out of the house.

He's manipulated everyone.

He's just thick.

He's been fucking some bloke

and feeding him bullshit to

keep all of this a secret.

And to make matters worse the

bloke he's with is only 21.

bHannah: You're lying. Lisa:

What?

Hannah: I appreciate that he's

not perfect.

In fact he's a womanizing

violent shit bag. But he ain't

gay, I appreciate that

you're trying the best, I mean

trying to get me to leave him

but there's just no way.

Lisa: Lady, would you see

fucking sense. He's beating

you black and blue and now

he's off taking out this shit

every night and if that isn't

enough for you, if Ethan

hadn't been listening to our

conversation Jake would have

raped me tonight.

Jake: Ethan. Ethan: Go back to

the block, get your

stuff, and fuck off. Jake:

Everything's a mess, you don't

understand.

Ethan: Oh I understand too

well.

Jake: You can help me, the

anger,

it's always been there, I

can't help it. Ethan: Oh you

want my help?

Jake: Yes, everyone that's

ever cared about me is gone.

As far back as I can remember

I've never ever had anything

I've ever wanted.

Ethan: Oh woe you, we all come

from nothing, how are we ever

meant to achieve

anything but we get by and we

will spend our lives getting

by.

I don't need you and I don't

need anybody. Fuck off.

Lisa: I rang Julie and I left

a message. Once they know

they'll be down here

sorting all this shit. Hannah:

You rang Julie?

YoHow much did you say? Lisa:

Enough

Hannah: You just killed me.

Lisa: You what?

Hannah: Out of everything Jake

didn't want Julie and Arran to

know about our problems.

Lisa: Aren't they? Fucking

ashamed is he?

Hannah: You were mad at me,

they'll fucking flip.

Lisa: It's about time someone

did something to stop this

all.

Hannah: Please leave, Lisa.

You've done enough.

Ethan: Who do you think you

are coming around here staying

my place and then

taking the fucking piss out of

me like that? Well you can get

fucked.

Get fucking fucked.

And Carla, where the fuck are

you Carla? Where the fuck are

you...

How'd you know who I am? You

may be fucking Jake but you

know who

I am, huh?

I'll tell you who I am,

[screaming]. Hannah: How

did this all happen anyway?

Lisa: Hannah, I thought I was

doing what was best.

Hannah: Oh yes, how the fuck

did you become so involved

anyway?

Lisa: Involved? How the fact

did I ask to be involved you

mean?

Who's been helpin the kid

Hannah?

Who's been at your beck and

call worrying, wondering when

the day's going

to come when I find out that

he's killed you? Involved?

You involved me. Hannah: Just

get out.

getI don't want to see you

anymore.

see

Lisa: This is far from over

girl. You'll realize that soon

enough.

You think Jake's not coming

back? He'll be back soon and

you'll take him

back like the monkey you are.

bHe the father of my child,e.

something you'll

probably

never understand until you get

your own one. Lisa: You're

talking like a real beaten

housewife now. Hannah: Get

out.

[1 week later] Arran: Jake, I

know you're not at home

right now, I'm not sure when

you're coming back. We've been

in touch with Hannah,

making sure she's okay,

checking on Carrie too.

I don't know what's happened

down there, I'm still finding

out digest her

myself.

Since your letter arrived it

seems my life has been turned

upside down.

You can be satisfied with one

thing --

Julie and I are not getting on

well.

Much more has surfaced since

your letter and much as I hate

to admit it you turned

out to be right.

You don't have to be scared of

me Jake, it isn't you anymore.

mI don't know how you got into

this most trouble.

Lots of people are getting

caught up in this,

so far

maybe even more than that.

You've risked a lot of

people's safety,

you've turned everything

inside out.

In fact Jake I'll never

forgive you for it.

In case this is the first

thing you pick up when you get

back I'll spell things out.

You're not the only one gone,

so is Lisa.

Hannah in spite of everything

stood by you and the night you

left Lisa left too.

God knows where she's gone. I

hope she's safe.

She's probably running because

of fear.

I hope this isn't the case.

You already know where she is.

Hannah told me what Lisa had

said about where you've been

staying, if that's true,

if that's really how you felt,

if you actually did really

liked this guy.

Why didn't you just say?

you've strung her along. just be

honest with her.

Maybe I feel a certain amount

of guilt too.

I remember when we were young

and maybe I'd acted different

andthen this wouldn't haveent

happened.

It really isn't too late to

make things right with Hannah,

Lisa, maybe if you have

any friends too.

But for me sadly it's too late

Jake.

I love Julie so, so much, and

I want to try to make things

work.

I don't want to spend the

whole of my life being bitter

and holding the mistake

against here.

I don't think we'll ever see

each other again, Jake, if you

become to unpridictable

I hope you try and work out

if we came face to face with

each other.

Unfortunately I don't think I

can ever face that.

All the best Jake, please make

things right, Arran.

Carla: Be over to come

cry again?

Ethan: You look fucking

different. Carla: I'd say the

same thing to you.

Ethan: Can I come in then?

Carla: This is my mom's house,

Ethan,

I don't even know if she's in

here.

Ethan: Cross my heart, hope to

die, stick a needle in my eye,

[mumbling]

Wow, Miss Hart, you are

looking hot. Carla: Ethan, you

promised.

Ethan: All right, don't get

menstrual.

Carla: Jake been back? Ethan:

Yes.

YCarla: Have you seen Kyle?

Ethan: No.

Carla: When are you going to

sort all this out then?

soEthan: I'm working on it.

Carla: How's that?

Ethan: I'll need the address

of that locker. Carla: Ethan

let it go.

Don't you want to go have a

look at the place.

Once I've done that I can put

all of this behind me.

You're a star. Carla:

Well that's my name then.

Ethan: Looking different, I'll

give you that. Carla: Is that

a joke?

Ethan: Yes, who are you

kidding?

Carla: I'm serious, Ethan, I

don't want to live how we were

living anymore,

waiting for the next party or

the next batch to come along,

wouldn't have been

long until one of us was dead.

You're my best friend Ethan

but even you

are showing the signs. Ethan:

What signs?

WhCarla: The signs that

somebody's washed up your

shadow of what you used to be.

sYou should make your peacebe.

with Kyle and then he'd give

you what he's always wanted

to give you. Ethan: What'sd

that?

Carla: Don't joke Ethan, I'm

serious. You need to clean

yourself up, clean that

place up, and go report to

Kyle.

Ethan: You didn't really like

Jake, didn't you.

Carla: Yes, I didn't.

Ethan: Anyway, I'm going to

crack off but well done.

You've done well.

Say goodbye to your sexy assed

mama for me.

See you.

Adam, I need a favor.

I need you to run some

figurative elect row for me.

A guy named Jake Harris, lives

in Milton Kings.

iCool. Yes, I know, just text

me.

mI'll be around all day. All

right, cheers baby.

Arran: Are you okay? Julie:

Yes, I'm fine.

Arran: I finished the last

letter today.

I'm not communicating with

Jake anymore.

Julie: Good, we'll just keep

an eye on Hannah for a while,

yes?

Arran: Yes. Julie: Hasn't Lisa's

phone call

changed your mind about him?

Arran: Changed a lot.

Julie: I can't believe that it

all happened.

I can't believe I wasn't

there.

Arran: It's not your fault.

Julie: It's my fault.

I hadn't even called Hannah.

Not once, not even once.

Arran: The friends you had

then are not the friends you

need now.

Julie: I didn't have Hannah.

Arran: Don't feel --

Julie: sometimes change me

Arran: It's not your fault.

What could you have done? What

could you have changed?

Julie: A lot.

Arran: We didn't know Jake was

bad. We didn't know this,

maybe this bad.

Julie: Did you know? Did you

know that he was bad?

Arran: Of course I knew that

he was bad but I didn't know

he was this bad.

Julie: You always defended

him. Arran: I'm not defending

him.

I didn't know it would turn

out.

Julie: I told you. I always

said it, you never listened to

me.

You never listened.

Arran: Yes I cared, I know

that you cared.

I thought he might work his

way out, I thought he might

come through, I thought

he might change a few things

but when I saw that he wasn't

I knew we had to get away.

We don't need people like that

to take our path.

tI know this is horrible, this

had to happen.

Jake had to break free, Jake

had to become whatever he was

going to become.

He can change. Julie: It

doesn't make me feel better.

dArran: It mustn't make you.

feel better.

It's a bad thing but one that

he deserves.

We're going to be okay. Julie:

Are you sure?

Arran: Yes, I'm sure.

Come here.

I'm not going to let Jake

destroy our lives, okay?

Julie: Okay. Arran: Okay.

We're going to be all right,

me and you and Max, we're all

right.

This is our destiny.

I'm so sorry. Julie: I know.

Female Speaker: Jake? Jake:

What are you doing?

Mom?

It's just one bottle. It makes

any difference

a few other times. How can I

trust you can get there?

Female Speaker: I'm going to

do it. I know I've said it.

I know I've said it before, I

mean it this time.

What I said to you the other

day.

I'm sorry.

Jake: It's okay. Female

Speaker: I'm going to need

your

help though, okay? I can't do

it on my own.

Jake: Love you.

I'm going to stick with you

all the way. Female Speaker:

Okay.

Will you help me do it? Jake:

Let's stick together.

Female Speaker: Cheers.

Ethan: Hannah, right? Hannah:

Ethan I presume?

Ethan: Can I come in? Nice

kid. Hannah: She doesn't have

a father.

Ethan: How'd you know who I

was? Hannah: Lisa told me

I didn't know what to believe

but then you show up so I

suppose it must be true.

Ethan: I didn't know about you

or about the kid or that

anyone knew Lisa.

I just thought Jake was some

gay guy at the club worth

picking up.

Hannah: What can I do for you

Ethan? Ethan: Have you seen

Jake?

Hannah: No, I haven't, and I

wasn't expecting us to meet.

How did you know where Ieet.

lived? Ethan: I've got a mate

that does the electrical work.

thI ran it by him. Hannah: So.

you're after him?

Ethan: Not after him to search

but I'm not going to take an

injustice lying down.

I want to know where he keeps

his locker? Hannah: His what?

Ethan: Did he ever used toat?

leave the house a lot in the

day, during the middle

of the night? Hannah: Carry

on.

Ethan: I had someone follow

him one day to an industrial

state not far from here.

He has a locker there and

that's where he's spending

every day.

Hannah: That's all new to me.

Ethan: Do you have the key for

it? Hannah: I don't have one.

itEthan: Do you think Jake's.

coming back?

Hannah: I don't think it, I

know he'll be back. Ethan: You

need to get the key from him

when he comes back. He keeps

it in his backpack.

Hannah: How do you know that?

Ethan: Because he's left mine

every day

with the backpack and he had

it with him the night he left.

iThere's a key in there and I.

need your help to get it.

If he comes back you grab the

key, get

out and come to me.

Hannah: What about myme.

daughter? Ethan: Has she got

somewhere she can stay?

Hannah: My mom's but I'm not

going to bring her there

waiting for Jake to come home.

Ethan: I need your help withe.

this. It's the only way we can

find out what's

going on. Hannah: Why should I

trust you?

tYou were fucking my boyfriend

for three weeks, putting him

up, while I usually

laid in a puddle of my own

blood.

Ethan: You know what? I don't

think you've got a lot of

choice

but to trust me or you are

never going to know the truth.

nHannah: I don't trust you at.

all. I'm only going to go

along with it

because I'm curious what I'm

going to find. Lisa told me

all about you.

You're just some low life,

jobless drug dealer with a

very sick attitude.

Ethan: Yes, you're probably

not far wrong there. Hannah:

Fuck off. Get out.

Kyle: What happened to you?

Ethan: Nothing happened to me,

I feel real good.

I Kyle: That's not what your

hands and face say. Ethan:

Don't worry about that.

Come around. Kyle: What?

Ethan: Tomorrow come around.

We'll have a cozy

little kiss, I'll make

some dinner, it will be good.

Kyle: You've lost me

completely now.

Ethan: Show up. I fucking love

you.

What the fuck are they doing?

Kyle: It's horrible.

He's a back coach right now.

Ethan: I can see his nuts

through his trousers.

You've got to be fucking

joking. Kyle: Stop

being mean.

Ethan: Somebody needs to tell

him to put it away because I'm

getting horny just

looking at it. Kyle: Why are

you always so mean?

yEthan: I'm not mean. Look.

Kyle: You are.

Ethan: I can see his fucking

helmet. Kyle: What happened in

your childhood

that made you so corrupt?

Tell me.

Ethan please, please Ethan.

Ethan: You want to know? Kyle:

Yes.

Ethan: You know what? I always

grew up in the city and my mom

she didn't have a lot of money

so all the kids would come in

with their trainers

and they're all so cool and me

I was just dressed like a shit

all the time.

And you know they were fuckers

a lot of them.

a There was one day I walked

from school

and I just got beat on every

week and shit like that.

Shit happens and they used to

spit on me, push me around,

throw me to the ground,

and I remember one lunch time

I was just standing out in the

park minding my own

business and they just stopped

me, called me queer, threw me

about once again,

same old same old shit.

And there was this one guy,

fucking George was his name.

fYou know what I did? Kyle:.

What?

Ethan: I just struck at him. I

just had it that day.

jI just stuck the shit out of

him.

And I said from that day

forward no one was ever going

to see me at my weakest

again, not you, not Carla, not

my prick Jake or anyone.

myI'm getting back. No one's

ever going to make me look

like

a mug again.

But you seem to do a whole lot

of asking. You don't seem to

do a lot of telling.

How come you're down here

every day and not in front

Kyle: It gives me a sense of

relief.

When I have tough times, when

I have troubles in my life I

come here and just

let myself go. I just - the

feeling when you're in the

ice is just great. You forget

the whole world, you just -

theverything is in your own

little world and it just

relaxes me.

Ethan: What do you hope to

escape from rich boy?

Kyle: It's different. Out

there you just - it feels like

you're flying.

Nothing and no one can hurt

you, you just feel with one

with yourself.

It's just amazing.

Ethan: Fair enough. I reckon

we need to go and get some

dinner before that guy gets a

stiffy. Kyle: Stop that. Stop

it. Come on.

Female Speaker: Jake where are

you going? Jake: Just out.

yoFemale Speaker: With Arran?

Jake: Yes.

Female Speaker: I'd rather you

didn't. Jake: Mom I've got

plans.

Female Speaker: I'd rather you

didn't leave this house.

dJake: Please don't shout at

me. Female Speaker: I'm your

mother, you will

listen to me. If I say you're

not going out you're not.

Please go back upstairs. Jake:

You've been off the booze for

Ya couple of weeks you decide

you're a mother all of a

sudden.

Female Speaker: Upstairs.

Jake: No, get back come away

for a couple of months then

I'll start taking orders.

Female Speaker: Just like your

father, you know that.

fJake: Don't start with this

again. Female Speaker: Fine,

fuck off then.

If you want to repay me for my

hard work by going out with

that stupid old shit

friend of yours then go ahead.

Jake: I was planning too

anyway.

Jake: Surprise.

Hannah: Not really. I knew

you'd be back.

Jake: Where's my letter?

Hannah: Very impressive

Jake: I wasn't.

Arran: I don't think we'll

ever see each other again,

Jake.

You've become too predictable

and over and over in my mind

I'm trying to recount

what it would be like if we

came face to face with each

other.

Jake: Mom? Drunk as a skunk

again.

Arran: You're just going to

leave her there? Jake: Yes,

she'll sober up, start again.

Jesus, just wat she dropped

Arran: Sandra. Jake? Jake:

What?

Arran: She's not breathing.

Jake: What?

Arran: She's not breathing.

Jake: Mom. Mom wake up. Arran:

Jake calm down.

JJake: Mom. Arran: We need an

ambulance.

Jake: Mom.

Ethan: Kyle, hurry up, it's

fucking freezing out here.

Kyle: I thought I was going to

yours.

Fuck of that off.

Kyle: What do you mean you'll

fuckin find out? Ethan: I'm

smashed up, it's kind of late.

smasAnyone in? Kyle: No, myte.

parents are out for the

weekend.

Ethan: Awesome.

Kyle: It's nice of you to put

some effort into our

relationship for once.

Ethan: Yes, well I'm full of

surprises.

Kyle: What are you going to do

about your flat?

Ethan: It's fucking ruined.

I suppose I should move in.

with you. Kyle: I'm sure my

mom would love that.

Ethan: Well fuck your mom.

Kyle: Ethan this is all I've

ever wanted

you know? It hasn't been easy

with Mom and Dad lately.

wIf it wasn't for the ice

skating I'm sure they would

have given me the boot.

I don't know what the problem

is with everyone. I'm just

trying to be me and I end up

being blamed for it.

Ethan: You're not lonely

anymore, are you? Kyle: You

sure?

Ethan: Sure. Can I get a

fucking hug?

Arran: You're not into this,

are you? Julie: No.

Arran: Not right now. Julie:

I'm afraid not.

I'I'm still thinking of my

friend you know.

Arran: You've got to stop.

They're not our responsibility

anymore, you know?

We've got to get on with our

lives. Julie: What about their

daughter.

Arran: She'll be fine.

Julie: I really want to forget

this all but it's difficult.

thArran: I'm not going back.

there. I'm not going back.

Don't know what I'm going down

to

Julie: I'm not asking you to.

I don't want to go there

myself. Arran: We've got to

forget.

Julie: I'm trying.

I'm trying, okay? I'll try.

Ethan: This is about the

queerest thing we've ever

done.

Kyle: Nice there, huh?

Ethan: You not sure how to split

You're not doing drugs in my

house.

Ethan: call up a sports thing ma

EthanKyle: Like what? Ethan:g ma

Anything.

Kyle: Well all I've ever

wanted to be was an ice

skater.

Whenever I'm hurt or someone

hurts me or I argue with mom I

always go down to the

rink and skate and all mye

troubles just seem to go away.

Like I become this powerfulay.

person and no one in the world

can touch me.

Does that do? Ethan: Yes.

Kyle: What about you? Ethan:

What about me?

I'm just the fuck up - drugs,

drink, party, smash the fuck

up.

I ain't got no talent not like

you.

yoKyle: I'm sure you've got

talent. Ethan: What's that

then?

Kyle: People, you can talk to

anyone. You become anyone

given any circumstance.

That's the talent you have.

Ethan: Yes,

Kyle: Hang on, let me get some

music.

Ethan: I've got to run. Kyle:

Ethan, you're doing it again.

Listen to me -- this is your.

last fucking chance.

Fucking look at me - don't

hurt me again Ethan, not after

tonight.

Ethan: I won't hurt you again.

Just get some rest, I'll be

back in the morning.

Kyle: Ethan, don't get into

any trouble. Ethan: This is

something I've got to do.

I want you to remember - Kyle:

What?

WEthan: I love - Kyle: I love

you.

Ethan: I fucking love you too.

Remember that.

What the fuck is this?

Hannah: All I know is it

started when Jake found his

mom dead when he was 15.

She was a serious alcoholic.

Everyone knew it.

She was always running to

shops embarrassing Jake

when she just fell out of some

pub or another.

Jake had to live with everyone

knowing their business.

Ethan: Well it's just some

fucking shrine.

Hannah: Maybe we should leave

you know.

Ethan: Hannah do the fucking

job at hand.

Something's going on and I've

want to get to the bottom of

it.

Hannah: Why can't you?

Ethan: Because I don't know

who Arran is. We're not

leaving.

Hannah: I'm getting a bit

pissed off taking some orders

from some lousy man...

Ethan: No wonder you just let

your boyfriend beat you. So

get on with that.

How is it going?

Hannah: You know he's kept a

copy of every letter he wrote

to Arran as well.

Ethan: Shit, that's fucking

wrong.

Hannah: Well I think it's

clear that Jake feels a little

bit more emotional

about Arran than I thought.

aboYou know there neverght.

round here

but this fucking stuff
of Arran's

do Ethan?

Ethan: probably leave and

never come back.

Hannah: He's not fucking well.

Ethan: Well done, Einstein.

Hannah: He needs help.

Ethan: He needs to be checked

into an asylum.

Jake: This is where it ends.

Now you know.

NoEthan: Now we know you're

fucking psycho.

Jake: Why are you sneaking

around, Ethan?

You got your wrist stamped on,

you got dumped.

I don't think you're important

to this story.

toEthan: I'm not important to

this story?

Well the fact that you stayed

with me for three weeks and

fucking rump me

while you left here beaten and

the kid home not important

that you're taking the piss.

Jake: Let me tell you how I.

look at it. You're not clever

or smart or streetwise.

You're just a condescending

mouthy little prick

and if you thought for one

second I looked at you at that

club

and thought how stunning you

were you're fucking wrong

webecause I can't stand the

sight of you.

You're everything that's plain

and boring about this world.

Ethan: What did you do Jake?

ETurn me around, do me from?

behind - did you think this

now,

did you call out in your head

while you were giving it to

me?

Jake: You fucking cunt.

Hannah: Jake, I don't want any

trouble.

trJake: You've got fucking

trouble. You fucking ruined

everything.

Arran is never going to speak

to me again and it's all

because of you.

That's it, fucking postcards

all fucked because of you,

alfucking queer, shitty ass

whore of a girlfriend.

Ethan: You know what?

I nearly fell for you but I

can't believe I nearly fucking

fell for you, you little fuck.

Jake: You want to watch your

mouth you dirty time wasting

pot smoker

How about I tell you you're an

asshole? Would you like that?

assEthan: You fucking little?

repressed fuck

Jake: Arran was there for me

when my mom died and then you

and Judy came along

and fucked everything up.

Hannah: Do I truly deserve all

of these confusing names?

oDid I have thought to deserve

all of these?

aThat Ethan neither deserved

this.

What was going on with that

Ethan anyway?

Jake: It was the day I needed

somewhere to crash.

someHannah: I don't think

you all in musty

Jake: I don't give a fuck what

you think?

Hannah: Do you know where Lisa

is?

Jake: No, but I know she

called Arran.

Hannah: You know no matter

what I would have never ever

Jake: But your stupid big

board mate did though, didn't

she?

Ethan: Come on.

Hannah: What the fuck are we

going to do?

Ethan: Look, we're going to

get out of here. It's nearly

daylight. Come on.

Hannah: Jake please don't hurt

me.

I want to be there for Carrie,

I want to go with her to her

wedding day

and tell her how beautiful she

looks.

Don't take that away from her.

DoDon't give her bad memories.

please.

We can sort this out. Please.

Jake: It's funny how we all

end up, isn't it?

Here one day, next six feet

under.

Never breathe fresh air again,

see the sunset, full human

embrace.

Arran: Jake, what happened to

your mom it wasn't your fault.

yoJake: Then why does it feel.

like it was?

Why do I feel so selfish. She

was trying to give up booze.

And I was just being a bastard.

AShe was my mom, not what shed.

did, what she said.

She's my mom.

I loved her like I love you.

You're the brother I never

had.

She even thought I was meant

for you.

Arran: What?

Jake: She was obsessed of that

but she doesn't get me like

you do.

You know how I feel, I was

hurt, and no one else gets

her.

You're my brother, Arran, the

brother I never had.

Arran: And you'll always be mine

Jakie Boy

Jake: Arran, things haven't

been good and they've only

just got worse.

By the time you read this

letter none of this will be

relevant anymore

and I even know that by now

you weren't -

I'd like you to think back to

the days we were drinking beer

in the fields near my house,

that's how I remember us.

I never got to make up for the

things I've done but now that

they're done

I seem to be thinking more

clearly than ever and I

csuppose it's time for the

honesty.

I've missed you so much for

these last few years and I've

done some terrible things.

How I've managed to become

obsessed with what I have I

will never know.

A long time ago I told you you

were my brother, you always

have been.

Just recently people tried to

turn this into something else,

tlike some homosexual fixation

with you, but it isn't, it

never has been.

My life has been spent living

for you because you were my

strength, my friend,

the keeper of my darkest

secrets.

Nothing would describe how

much of a part my soul left

that day you did.

I felt like every bit of

strength I've ever built

would blow away.

You gave me the courage to

meet Hannah and build a life

with her in the early days

and the courage to make it

past my mom's death.

The guilt I felt ever since no

one could ever truly

understand.

Still as I write this today I

know that if I hadn't left

that night my mom

would have actually made it

through.

I've had no one but you my

whole life, that's the reason

I've made it by.

What I've done is terrible,

you won't understand, no one

will understand,

and maybe I myself won't ever

understand either.

The rays that burn inside me

never seems to leave and I'll

never figure out

why I do the things I do until

they're done.

I can't apologize to Hannah

now or to my daughter who I've

loved through everything.

I've hurt a lot of people who

never needed to be part of

this situation.

I can't even tell you what's

going on with Ethan

but if you should speak to him

send him my regards.

senI'm simply envying him in

every way.

He may have nothing but one

thing he does have is fight

and determination.

I can never be as strong or as

loud or as sociable as him

and his talent's very far and

wide as he'll ever understand.

Hannah was always weak but I

admire her for standing by me.

adIt hasn't done her any good.

but I'll always love her

although I've never shown it

to her

and what I've done is another

thing I should never figure

out.

And that's why being the

selfish person I am I'm never

going to try.

And you Arran, my friend, my

brother, I felt betrayed when

you left,

maybe even a little bit

jealous but you're a

successful guy

and you did everything you

ever dreamed of.

In spite of how selfish this

is, the one person I truly

never wanted to hurt was you.

nYou stood by me since Day 1.

and tried to help me past

everything

I've ever gone through but you

can't help someone in my place

no matter how hard you try.

Please check in on Carrie time

after time for me.

Her future's uncertain now and

I'm not going to worry about

it.

I've confessed everything in

this letter and when it's

found out this circle of lies

and violence and dissent can now

end. I love you my brother.

Jake.

After Hannah's body was

discovered police were

disassisted in theirre

investigation

aided by information from

Lisa, Arran, and Ethan.

Ethan and Kyle have now moved

in together.

Carla has begun an

apprenticeship at a hair salon.

Carrie is living with Auntie

Lisa.
