INTERIOR – AT HANNAH’S PARTY. Passions are high. Craig and Rhys have been separated from fighting.A chain of events starting with Michaela and Nancy fighting allows Craig to see Sarah and Rhys kissing.
Craig sees Sarah and Rhys together
and he strikes Rhys
JP intervenes. CRAIG: How could you do this to me?(reference to Sarah flirting and drunkenly snogging Rhys)
JOHN PAUL: Craig, walk away, all right! You’re so much better than her. You’re so much better.
CRAIG: What you talking about?
John Paul panics and runs out into the night-time garden.
EXTERIOR – AT HANNAH’S PARTY. Party lights are twinkling and the air is cold. He sobs and heaves like a wounded animal.
CRAIG:John Paul. Oy, oy, what’s got into you? JOHN PAUL: You don’t wanna be around me. CRAIG: You can’t say things like that and run off. JOHN PAUL: Craig, just leave it. CRAIG: Why did you say Sarah wasn’t good enough for me? JOHN PAUL: Please don’t make me say it.
CRAIG: Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. What do you know? Is she cheating on me?
JOHN PAUL: No.
CRAIG: It’s Rhys, isn’t it? She’s cheating on me with Rhys.
JOHN PAUL: No. I don’t know.
CRAIG: Then why are you like this? Tell me what’s going on.
JOHN PAUL: I can’t.
CRAIG: Tell me, John Paul. (John Paul calms down a little and rubs his eyes, suddenly brave.)
JOHN PAUL: You really wanna know?
CRAIG: Yes.
JOHN PAUL: You really wanna know why I think you should split up with Sarah?
CRAIG: Yes. Yes I do.
JOHN PAUL: It’s…. it’s because I’m jealous. All right? Whenever I watch you with her, it kills me, cos I want to be the one that you’re laughing with, that you’re going home with.
CRAIG: What?
JOHN PAUL: When I’m not with you, I think about you all the time. And then, when I AM with you, I feel like my heart’s going to burst. I’m…. I’m in love with you. Craig…. I’m in love with you.
John Paul runs off into the night, alone and distraught but unburdened of his secret.
