PHONE CALL!

"Tom?"

"Ben? It's like two in the morning"

"Shit, time zones. I forgot, sorry.
Your number is still the same."

"So is yours. Wait, then why have
we been talking through Instagram
the whole time?"

"I don't know, because we
were both to stupid to just
ask?"

"Probably. Why are you calling?
Not that I'm not glad to hear your
voice, it's, uh, it's been a while."

"Yeah, it has. Uh, you know that
thing I wanted to talk about?"

"Yeah... what's up?"

"Shit, um, so, I think the real
reason I cut you off was because 
I was scared."

"Of?"

"Of the fact that I still had
feelings for you."

"Do... do you still... I mean,
I know it's been a few months
since we talked."

"You're such an idiot, that's why
I'm calling."

"Well, you just told this idiot
you have feelings for him so..."

"And I regret is already."

"Well, you shouldn't."

"And why's that?"

"Because I still have feelings
for you, too."

"Shit, really?"

"Yeah, I always have. Since high
school, was I not obvious when we
met again that first time at the
premiere?"

"No! I was awkward and
bitter as fuck!"

"I mean, you had every right to
be, but I've regretted leaving you
for four bloody years, Ben."

"Then why'd you do it?"

"Because I knew there were going
to be times like this where we're
thousands of miles apart. We can't
even look at the same moon because
it's only eight for you."

"Well, at least I'm looking at the
sunset right now, that's close
enough, right?"

"Yeah, I guess it is."

"So, where do we go from
here?"

"Well, we can't erase what happened,
but we can always start over, right?
Press reset?"

"What are you suggesting, Mister
Holland?"

"Well, Mister Kade, I am suggesting
that you do me the honor of being
my boyfriend for the first time."

"Oh, yes, the first time!"

"So?"

"I mean, I guess I could
be your boyfriend."

"Well then there we go."

"Now only months until we
get to see each other again..."

"Shush."

"Whatever, you're a dork. Now go
to bed, it's late for you."

"Goodnight, boyfriend."

"Four years and yet you still
act like a stupid teenager, goodnight."

"Hey—!"
