RED TINTS OF LIGHT

RYN walks over to WILLOW who is passed out on the couch. He shakes her awake.

RYN
Riles, you reek of alcohol.

WILLOW
Shhh. My head is pounding.

RYN
Does anyone know where you are?

WILLOW
No. I don't want them to either, they're always hovering. I can take care of myself.

RYN
They're just trying to help.

WILLOW
I honestly don't care. They have no idea what I'm going through.

RYN
They know that and they feel bad, but they have also lost their father and their sister.

WILLOW
What do you mean? We haven't lost a-- oh.

RYN
They need you just as bad as you need them.

RYN smiles, grabs his keys and gently closes the door.

RED TINTS OF LIGHT STOP

The door opens again. AZLYN walks in and sees WILLOW holding her head. She sits next to her.

AZLYN
We were all really worried.

WILLOW
I know.

WILLOW slowly stands up.

Let's let them know I'm...okay.

AZLYN nods and leaves first. WILLOW stops at the door, she looks back.

WILLOW
The next time I come back here, it will be for the last time.

WILLOW shuts the door.
