Scriptwriter Chronicles: MEN ON THE ROAD (Part 18)

Part 18 - Boundaries Broken

Julian, David, Gerald, Nadine, Sebastian and Ritchie stand on the hard shoulder of the motorway. Everyone's bags bar Julian's are now in David's car. Julian slautes them and gets into his car...

David
What about the police? I've already called them, quite a while ago now come to think of it

Julian
Uncall them, I dunno. I've just gotta make it home. Gerald you take care of the group and the arrangements; enjoy yourselves and I'll see you when you get back

Sebastian
I dont think it's a good idea to go home just yet, just give it time, you both need to cool off

Julian
Does this seem cool enough? Julian shows Sebastian the text from Jane Seb my mind's made up, enjoy yourselves, break a leg Julian drives off, the rest get into David's car

Gerald
I feel like I should be there for him just in case, I cant even get through to Michelle

Ritchie
Lets just go have a good time, he's better off doing it by himself. If all else fails he'll call...or we'll call. They make their way to the tournament, 20 mins away

At Jane's house the fun, frolics and banter continue...

Jane
Ok me next, "My love for you burns hotter than a lightbulb that's been left on for three days"

Girls
Woooow Laughter

Natalie
"Hi I'm the new Milkman. Do you want me in the front or back?"

Michelle
Haha, thats' stupid!

Jane
No corny lines come your way Michelle?

Michelle
Men know not to trouble me with such nonsense. Gerald had me from hello...

Evelyn
Awww how gay. Be right back, just gotta check up on Joshua

Michelle
Again? This David has you sprung

Evelyn
I'm not sprung, just willing to help

Evelyn leaves the house and crosses the street, her hurried footsteps are overshadowed by the argument between a young man and Kim who are at the bus stop. They stop when they see Evelyn from afar leave Jane's house and go into David's.

Kim
Who's that?

Cameron
I have no idea

Kim
Listen, get it sorted properly this time! Im not gonna ask again
Cameron
Hey, just remember who's doing who the favour!

Kim
Just get it done

Cameron
I will

Somewhere up north, the crew have arrived at their destination. They register at the front desk and are allocated keys for their accomodation.

David
Looks like my room's above all of yours

Gerald
Yeah, what time does your training start?

David
Same as yours mate, half an hour. Best get ready, see you guys in a little while

Gerald
Yeah see you later......Right we've gotta sort out living arrangements

Ritchie
We've got our own rooms, what's the problem?

Gerald
Nadine...Nadine's the problem

Nadine
I'll just take Julian's key and stay in his room

Gerald
Makes sense. Alright we're all on the same floor, me and Ritchie are next door and Nadine are down the hall next door too. We'll meet down here in 25 mins

Nadine
Let's Go Seb, I have a bone to pick with you. Sebastian ignores her as he continuously tries to phone Jane with no luck

Back at David's House, Evelyn enters and sits down in the living room next to Joshua...

Joshua
Finally!

Evelyn
I'm sorry Josh, Evelyn had a bit too much to drink and lost track of time. Where were we cutey?

Joshua
Your friend and her boyfriend were kissing, yuck, and then they stopped because your other friends were at the door

Evelyn
Natalie and Michelle?

Joshua
I guess

Evelyn
Huh? That's not right, that means they would have seen the argument. Are you sure it was them? what did they look like?

Joshua
One was tall and pretty, and the other one wasnt

Evelyn
Haha that would be Natalie and Michelle. Wow I really dont understand. So then what did the guy look like? They are interrupted by Cameron who walztes in Hi

Cameron
Hi, who are you?

Joshua
This is Evelyn

Evelyn
A friend of your father's, I'm just checking up on little Joshua and now you. You must be Cameron? They shake hands

Cameron
Yeah, so did he say when he was coming back?

Evelyn
Tomorrow. Is everything alright? you look a little aggravated

Cameron
Oh, just something that didnt go the way it was planned

Evelyn
Ah, well if at first you don't succeed....

Cameron
Not that simple but thanks for your concern. Was nice seeing you, i'll be up in my room

Evelyn
Erm, do you guys want me to cook up something?

Cameron
Yeah cool, whatever

Evelyn smiles at Joshua. Back at the hotel, Sebastian sits in contemplation...

Sebastian
What the f***was that text about? She playing me for a fool? There's a knock at the door which is swiftly followed by Nadine entering Dont they have locks on these doors? what do you want?

Nadine
This conversation is far from over

Sebastian
Yes it is

Nadine
Oh No, no it's not. I'm just gonna throw it out there since you don't take hints very well

Sebastian
Go ahead

Nadine
Are you cheating on my sister?

Sebastian
What? No! dont be silly

Nadine
Look at me Seb, your life has been spared once, dont lie

Sebastian
What's that supposed to mean?

Nadine
It means I'm giving you one opportunity to tell the truth, use it!

Sebastian
Nadine, I dont know what planet you and your sis came from but go back, please. I know she put you up to this

Nadine
You used me to distract these guys so you could cheat didnt you?

Sebastian
Crazy! No

Nadine
Where are the condoms Sebastian?

Sebastian
What? I dont know!

Nadine
You left them at your mistresses house didnt you? You tried to stall your friends ao you could get them back or a new packet!

Sebastian
I said no!! In an act of desperation Sebastian lunges himself at Nadine and kisses her; Nadine hesitates only for a moment but kisses back. They embrace....
