Cafe-Girl: A Tru Story



Act Two, Scene Six

Interior: Long dark hallway towards Willow and Tru's apartment.

Willow enters hurriedly and crosses towards door.  He starts to unlock, but door swings open.

WILLOW

Tru?

No answer.

Tru?  You home?

Sound of running water from the bathroom is heard, then the thud of a body falling to the ground.

Tru?!?!

Willow hurries towards bathroom.  He hesitates at the closed door, knocks.

You...okay?

There is no answer.  He cautiously turns the door handle, finding it unlocked, the door swings open.

Wide: Tru collapsed in bathroom, her arm hanging over bathtub edge, blood dripping down her arm.  She is barely cautious.  Shower water is on and the shower curtain is open, water spills out all over the floor, the bathroom.  she is naked and barely conscious.

Willow rushes towards Tru.  He crouches down near her, grabs her arm, tries to stop the blood with his hand.

WILLOW

Tru? Tru? Can you hear me?

Tru groans slightly.  Willow pulls cellphone from his pocket, fumbles nervously, and finally dials 911.

OPERATOR

911 What is your emergency?

WILLOW

My room-mate...I just came home and found her...she cut herself...she's barely awake...

OPERATOR

Okay, sir, we're getting someone there right away.  Can I just have your name and information?

Fade out.

Fade into:

Willow grabs a towel and wraps it around Tru's body.  He then cradles her in his arms.

WILLOW

Its going to be okay, Tru.  It's going to be okay.  It's not your fault.  It was never your fault.  Never.  It's going to be okay.

Fade out.
