ACT SIX
INT. BEACH HOUSE - KITCHEN / LIVING ROOM - NIGHT (N5)
Heavy footsteps come barreling down the stairs. Darnell rushes in and scans the room.
DARNELL
Hey, Liv. Have you seen my keys?
(no response)
Sis, did you hear me?
Darnell stops dead in his tracks and his face falls. Seated at the bar, Olivia tightly grips the top of the whiskey bottle. He TEXTS KIA: I'm gonna be a little late.
Darnell sits next to Olivia and places his hand on top of hers. With tear-stained cheeks, Olivia turns away from his gaze. She sighs heavily and then releases her grip.
Darnell moves the bottle away from her. He eyes the glasses.
DARNELL
The glass is empty so that's a good sign... Wanna tell me what happened?
OLIVIA
He said he needed space... Time.
(gathers thoughts)
Everything's so freaking messed up. I messed up everything. I should've just left it alone. Spencer's crushed. Kia may never be able to dance like she used to. If I had just--
DARNELL
Nope, I'm going to stop you right there. Sure we didn't handle things the best way but Spence needed to know the truth. And Kia's accident had nothing to do with you. Come on, Liv stop this.
OLIVIA
I asked Kia to go to Slausons. She was there that night because of me. Because I couldn't stop digging. If she had died I would've never forgiven myself, Darnell... Especially, knowing what that would've done to you.
DARNELL
But she didn't. And I don't blame you. Neither does Kia. No one does. You need to let go of that guilt.
Darnell squeezes Olivia's hand.
OLIVIA
What about Spencer? What if we can't move forward?
DARNELL
Stop... He asked for space. Not a breakup. He's just licking his wounds. Trust me. He'll come around
OLIVIA
(bites lip)
I hope you're right. I can't lose him.
DARNELL
You won't.
(nudges Olivia)
How about some ice cream?
OLIVIA
(slight smile)
You know, I never turn down ice cream.
