Scene 14: Sam's room the next morning

Asher wakes up before Sam and starts writing in his journal. I'm thinking of doing a recording and have it play over him writing so that we know he isn't muttering to himself out loud and that there's no way Sam could hear any of it, even though Sam's sleeping.


Asher: I hate myself. I hate myself so much it's a fucking problem. I broke down and came crawling to Sam. And I was so broken and fucking sad I started to get all sappy and almost told him right then and there how much I love him. I need to get over this. I need to forget these feelings for him and focus on Jasmi- Jasmine!


Asher grabs his phone and sees four missed calls from Jasmine.


Asher: Shit


Asher calls Jasmine, we see Jasmine walk on stage on some sort of higher plain of view. So she's not in Sam's room, but she's on the stage where we can see her


Jasmine: Hey.

Asher: Hey! I'm so sorry, I just saw your calls now, I'm so sorry, are you okay?

Jasmine: I'm fine. I was fine. Until I went to your house to surprise you, only to find just your parents there. And that they had no idea who I was, and that they had no idea where you were because they had kicked you out of the house??

Asher: Jasmine, I- I forgot to tell you

Jasmine: You forgot. You just... forgot. You forgot to tell me that your parents kicked you out, and that you were... where?? Where the hell are you Asher?!

Asher: I'm.. at Sam's house. We agreed years ago that when I came out if my parents kicked me out, I could move in with him.

Jasmine: Of course, of course. Of course you'd be with him, he's your best friend, I get that but answer me this Asher. How much do you love him?

Asher: More than anything. He's my best friend.

Jasmine: More than me.

Asher: Jazz, that's not fair, I've known him my whole life

Jasmine: I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I'm saying you shouldn't have said you love me then.

Asher: I don't- that's not, what I meant, I don't lo-

Jasmine: Bullshit Asher, absolute bullshit

Turbulent

Jasmine:

You had your own Pete Wentz and Patrick combined

Writing you songs and singing them all like

Every single day

Tour brings that special pain

So fuck yourself and fuck your feelings

I believe but not in you and me, so

So fuck yourself and fuck your feelings

I believe but not in you and me, so

Ensemble

I'd unfuck you if I could

I'd unlove you like I should have

Months before I did

In the months before I split

It's turbulent

It's turbulent

I'd unfuck you if I could

I'd unlove you like I should have

Months before I did

In the months before I split

It's turbulent

It's turbulent

Jasmine

You had your own Awsten Knight

Awsten Knight

Hi

Jasmine

He texted back fast and he made you laugh, yeah, yeah

You must be out of your mind

Well, I know you are

Let's see, where to start?

How about the messages you never sent

Even though I'll block your number

And I'll never fucking answer

My anxiety was turbulent and permanent

You gave me hell on Earth

And said to "Work with it"

So fuck yourself and fuck your feelings

I believe but not in you and me, so

So fuck yourself and fuck your feelings

I believe but not in you and me, so

Ensemble

I'd unfuck you if I could

I'd unlove you like I should have

Months before I did

In the months before I split

It's turbulent

It's turbulent

I'd unfuck you if I could

I'd unlove you like I should have

Months before I did

In the months before I split

It's turbulent

It's turbulent

Jasmine

You had a taste of the life

But you grew complacent

And my sanity laced itself

Up in the back of your mind

And that's where you left me to die


Asher: Jasmine, please let me explain,

Jasmine: There's nothing to explain. Obviously you would rather be around him than me. So go off to find your life together in LA. Don't let me get in the way of that.

Asher: Jasmine!


We hear the dead line, and Asher collapses on the bed.


Sam: Hey, you okay?

Asher: ... I think Jasmine just broke up with me. She doesn't want to come to LA with us anymore.

Sam: Shit dude, I'm sorry.


Akward gay silence


Sam: However, that means we could just leave now.

Asher: ... Are you serious?

Sam: I have a couple places I've been looking at. We could pick one, apply for jobs in the town, and move. Do you want to do that today?

Asher: ... Fuck it. Hell yeah.
