PART 1
(Open on a single spot on Chris writing in his journal, Ann is on his bed with a math book in front of her, she is in black)
Chris: My life has gone out of controle in the past few months. Spiraling down in to the deep dark abiss. I don't know what to do. I must have run through the events a million times and I still can't make heads or tales out of it in my head. So I though writing it down here will help me make sence of it. So it all started that one night so long ago, yet it feels like yesterday, Ann was over my house and we were doing our homework. I should have known then, I should have stoped her, but I didn't.
(Lights up on the bed room with Ann)
Chris: Hey Ann can you help me with number 23? (No responce)... Ann?
Ann: Oh what I'm sorry Chris I was thinking about somthing. What did you say?
Chris: I asked If you could help me with this math problem. What were you thinking about?
Ann: I was just thinking of how cool it would to be popular. I mean all our lifes we have been geeks, exials from the world.
Chris: "Geeks, exials"? Where in the world is this coming from? I mean you have been happy with what you do, your the President of the Band, Math club, and Helping hands. You are a sunday school teacher, one which the kids love, you are number one in the class. Who cares what the "popular" people think, after high school you'll be their boss.
Ann: Yeah that after high school, but I dont want to be the only one in high school not to go out on a date, I just want to feel loved by a man.
Chris: Ann you know better then any one that when you are ready God will give you the right man.
Ann: Well I am tired of waiting. I want a boy and I want one now. I don't want to talk about it any more. Lets get back to our homework shall we?
Chris: Okey okey, we will, I'm sorry Ann.
Part 2
(Fade to black and have Ann leave. Go back to lone spot on Chris)
Chris: Well Journal we finished our homework, and she left. Leaveing me to still wonder what she ment by her statments about being popular. The next day at school should have been a huge red flag to that somthing with her was worng. Why I didn't act on it I do not know to tell the truth. But I didn't and I still reget it to this day.
(Black out on Chris, bring up lights on the school, Ann is there at her locker by her self enter Chris)
Chris: Hey Ann, I am sorry for last night. I was out of (Notices Ann) WOW! You look great.
Ann: Hi Chris, you like?
Chris: um... Yes?
Ann: Thanks.
Chris: Whats up the the new outfit Ann?
Ann: Well you rember the talk we had last night?
Chris: How could I forget it, you were talking about how you would love to be popular... Ann is this what your doing to become popular?
Ann: Yes it is. Is there somthing worng with this? I mean its the best way I can think of to get noticed.
Chris: But Ann...
(The line is cut off by Brads entence with the 2 Goons behind him and the Skank on his arm.)
Brad: Well hello there sweet thing. Who are you and where have you been all my life.
Skank: Hey what are you doing talking to this whore? I'm your girlfriend.
Brad: (Turning to the Skank) Shut up, can't you see me and...(points to Ann)
Ann: Ann
Brad: ... and Ann are talking. Now Shut up. Now Ann why havn't I seen you around here. I am king of this school.
Ann: I have no idea, you and me have Ms. Hoey's 3rd period Bio class together.
Brad: Right... Bio...
Skank: Hey come on Brad my buzz is wearing off, lets go before I come down from it. You know how I am when I am coming down from a buzz.
Brad: Get lost you Skank, I am going with Ann now, so leave now or you won't live to reget it. GOT IT
(Skank exits leaveing Brad, Chris, Ann, and the Goons there. A school bell rings)
Chris: Come on Ann we got to get to class.
Brad: No you don't, what class do you have?
Ann: Histroy 2 with Hoffmen.
Chris: Come on Ann we don't want to be late let's go.
Ann: You go ahead Chris I be right there.
Brad: Yeah Cole go right ahead, Ann won't miss class. You have my word.
Chris: Sure... thanks...(Exits)
Ann:(Moves to leave) He's right I got to go to class.
Brad: You said you have Hoffmen right? He is in my backpocket. I never go to his class and I get B's. Come on lets go the movies, I have a guy that can get us in to any movie for free.
Ann: Really, um ok let's go.
(They all exit and fade to black out)
Part 3
(Go back to single spot on Chris at his desk)
Chris; And so she did. She skiped that class in fact she skiped the rest of the day's classes. Why didn't I stop it, why did I let her go with him. I don't know what wass going through my head at the time but it wasn't right I can tell you that. Any ways she came over that night like nothing happened, what was said that night still haunts me to this day.
(Lights come up on the room and enter to the room Ann)
Ann: Hey Chris
Chris: "Hey Chris"? Thats all you got to say to me is "Hey Chris"
Ann: Whats wrong? What I do?
Chris: What did you do? I tell you what you did. You left me alone in Hoffmens class. Infact you left me alone in all the classes today. You said that you would (Exagerated air quotes) "be right there". Well you didn't come and I want to know why. You didn't even text me about it. Then you walk in here like nothing happened? Where did you go?
Ann: Well I'm sorry "Mother". But Brad took me out to the movies and I had fun thank you. He likes me for what I am, he likes me like no one else has. You remember the other night when we talked about my dream to be popular? This is it. This is my dream coming true. The star QB of the football team took me out on a date and wants to do it again. I had the time of my life. What do I do with my life have anything to do with you? You are not in controle of my life, so why do you care?
Chris: Ann your my best friend in the world, your my best friend since birth. I love you like a sister, I always have and will. We have done everything together from starting school to getting baptized, I mean we even made it so we have the same classes since 6th grade. You are the President of the class, and band. You were the youngest one to be received into fellowship in the church. And now you start to skip classes and go to the movies with Brad Johnson?
Ann: Chris what I do with my life in none of your concern. It has nothing to do with you.
Chris: It might not have anything to do with me, but what about God? How do you think God likes it when you skip classes to go to the movies? What about your sunday school class? They look up to you.
Ann: Oh so now you preaching to me? Putting me on a guilt trip? For years I have let you hold me back from my true popularity, but now that I got it, you want to take it away. No I won't let you. I will not lission to you any more. I am leaving forever. Goodbye Chris.
(Ann gets up to leave when Mom enters the room with some snacks)
Mom: I heard yelling so I came up to see if everything was ok. And I brought some cookies if it wasn't, there is nothing that can't be healed by some good cookies.
Ann; No thank you Mrs. Pit I'm not hungry, and I was just leaving, goodbye Mrs. Pit.
(Ann leaves and Chris stands up and trys to call her back)
Chris: Ann wait please(starts to cry). No Ann please come back. (No response Chris sits down on the bed and starts to really cry, Mom sits next to him in a motherly way trying to make her son feel better)
Mom: What happened hun? What was all that shouting about, and why did Ann leave?
Chris: Oh mom, I think I just lost Ann(Breaks down in tears)
(Fade to black, then go back to the single spot on Chris at his desk)
Part 4
Chris: (Whiping the tears away) That night still makes me cry like a baby. It hurts more then anyone can know. But what hurts even more then that night has to be the next day at school. If I had any doubt that the Ann I knew was gone, all I had to wait for day light on the next day. I went to find Ann and tell her that I was sorry about the night before (Kill spot and bring up the lights on the school where Brad, Ann who is totaly changed from her humble clothes, and the Goons are gathered around Anns locker.)
Brad: So he said that to you? Wow he is lucky that I wasn't there or else i would break his arms.
Ann: Yeah... thanks...
(Enter Chris)
Brad: Well look who it is boys, its Cole.
Chris: My name is Chris now move out of my way, I need to talk to Ann.(starts to head for Ann but Brad gets in his way and blocks him off from seeing her)
Brad: I think you said quite enough last night. Now get lost Cole before I have to hurt you.
(Chris trys to get by him but to no avail)
Chris: First of all Brad, my name is Chris not Cole. And what I have to say to Ann has nothing to do with you. Now please move out of the way.
Brad: Are you ok in there? Cause I think you just corrected me. I am the king of this school and what I say goes. Now if I want your name to be Cole its Cole, and I also said that Ann does NOT want to talk to you. Now get lost.
(Chris still presses on to try to get to Ann)
Ann: Chris please just go before you get hurt. Just leave, please.
Chris: But Ann I just want to say that I'm....
Brad: Dude you just don't lission do you? I told you to leave, she told you to leave but your not leaving. Now tell me why is that? What ever it is, I am going to have to have my men teach you some maners. (Turns to the Goons and snaps his fingers) Boys?
Goons: Yous got it boss.
(They drag Chris off stage with him yelling to Ann)
Brad: Now where were we?(Fade to black)
Part 5
(Single spot on Chris at his desk)
Chris: That is the day I found out that I truly lost Ann, my best friend from birth. A part of me died that day. That day was the last time I saw her for months. She quit the band, stopped going to church, quit everything that she use to love, I still remember the young kids questions when she stoped being a sunday school teacher. Asking me when she'll be back, what happened to her? I didn't know how to tell them that she was gone, the looks on their faces made it imposable for me to tell the truth. Each and every night I dropped to my knees and prayed to God to keep her safe. This went on for months untill one night Ann comes in to my room in tears. I can not tell you how happy I was to see Ann again, but the news that she told me turned my world upside down.
(Lights up on the room, enter Ann)
Chris: Ann?! What happened, what are you crying?
(Ann rushes to Chris and gives him a hug. She starts to talk in between tears)
Ann: I just came from Brads house... He... he just raped me.
Chris: HE DID WHAT!!!!? I'm going to call the cops and have him arested.(He gets up to leave)
Ann: (Stops him) No don't, he said that he'd kill me and all of my family if I went to the cops and that he will get away with it, and I believe him.
Chris: Ok Ann i won't go to the cops. But if you can, please tell me what happened.
Ann;(Calms down) Ok... ok I can do this... It started when we got home from the movies, he started to do drugs, I took a few. Then he did what he always does when we do drugs together, he tied me up...(Tears start to well up) He then said that he wanted me. He tried to make a move but I said no. He then stuffed a sock in my mouth and taped it in. He started to undress me, I was fighting him all I could, but to no use, I was tied up to good. I was crying, I didn't want it, I told him that. But he didn't care, after he took all my clothes off he... (sobs) he started to rape me. Always saying I wanted it, that I brought it on my self. This is the price that needs to be paid to be popular. But Chris I didn't want it, I didn't. I wanted out.
Chris: I'm going to kill him, I sware to God he will be dead before this night is over.(Gets up to leave)
Ann:(Stops him) What do you think your going to do? He has 50 pounds on you, and half a foot to. I don't want you to get hurt. Please don't go. Please.
Chris: Don't you worry about that, I got it all taken care of your safe here. Ann I love you, and I will make sure you or anyone else is never hurt by him again. Good bye Ann.(Exits)
Ann: (Trys to stop him) Chris wait don't do anything stupid, please don't go. Chris? CHRIS!
(Fade to black, have Ann exit the room and bring Chris back in to his desk go to single spot on him again. In the back round soft claming music is playing)
Chris: That night, the night when hell opened up and all the evil that had been stored there for centries spewed out upon a un-prepaired world. I can still remeber ever bit of that night like it happened five minunts ago. I went to see Brad and confront him about Ann. His words still ring in my ears. His mocking words, his gloating of how Ann was so easy to trick, what number she was in his list. His forever mocking words will never leave me. How he said that he would brag to everyone about Ann, he said this right in front of my face. He then said he would do it again and agian, and never get in trouble, I mean after all he WAS the star football player and that the town loved him. He braged of how many cherries he picked from girls. He was laughing and laughing... that is untill he saw my gin. He saw the gun I had and he was still mocking me, saing I had no ball, how i wouldn't shoot him, and how he would take the gun from my hand and shoot me my mom and Ann. And he still laughed right in front of my face. Then he heard the click of me cocking the gun and froze in his tracks. He stopped mocking me, he just froze. I can still remember the fear that I saw in his eyes, I saw that fear and I loved it. I saw the fear and yelled to him "HOW DOES IT FEEL HUH? HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE FEARFUL FOR YOUR LIFE." He begged for me to spare his life, his worthless life, he begged me for forgivness how he was "sorry". He begged me and all I could think about was how Ann must have begged, how Ann must of felt when he raped her. Then I pulled the triger(Gunshot). I sent a hot peice of lead straight to his heart and he died before he even began to fall. With one small motion of my finger, I stoped all the lies from coming out of his mouth, I stopped him from hurting any one ever again. After I pulled the triger, I felt nothing, no pain or remose for him. I felt peace. Its all over I thought, cause there before me layed a worthless waste of air, he hurt Ann so I hurt him its only fair. I got arrested and when before the court. That was a trial for the ages.
(Black out)
Reporter:(V.O) In one of the most heated cases this city has ever seen, Chris Pit was found not gulty by mental defect. Pit if you remember was charged in the shooting death of high school football star Brad Johnson. Pit claimed that Johnson raped his bestfriend since birth. In what looked like a slam dunk case for the prosacution was turned in to anything but when three unidentfied teenage girls cae before the court claiming that Johnson had raped them, then threatened to kill them and their families if they ever told anyone about it. One of them said "Chris freed us from the fear of the moster that was Brad Johnson. This is going down in the books as one of the most intrasting cases ever. From the county court this is Brent Cheply for 7 news. Back to you in the studio.
Part 7
(Lights back up on Chris room. It has changed, from flat walls to padded walls)
Chris: Not guilty. I shot a man and I was found not guilty. Well I am not free, but far from it, I can't leave the facility ever, or escape the sight of the tears on my moms and Anns eyes. But I am not in jail, or death row. I still have to answer to God for what I did. But am I sorry for taking out that monster? No. It's a bit of evil out of here never to return. Well I got to go now, Chow time. May God forgive me for my sins. And keep me safe all days.
Chris
(Chris exits and fade to black)

I just finished reading your short story/play, and I wanted to let you know that it was really good! It kept my attention the whole time, and it was very well-written, with no grammatical mistakes that I could find. Seriously, great job!
