All Summers End Page #4

---

I didn't tell you to spend

every waking moment with her.

I got news for you, kiddo.

As long as you live under

my roof, you owe me answers.

- Fine.

- Where you goin'?

- Just get outta the way, Mom.

- Where you think you're goin'?

- Don't you... no...

- Move, just move. Just move!

[gasps]

[exhales]

Wow, you guys

built this in grade school?

[Conrad]

Yeah. My Dad helped us build it.

We barely ever

come here anymore, though.

You shouldn't even be in here,

actually.

Seriously?

No girls policy.

- [scoffs]

- Yeah, well, it's kinda like our place, ya know?

I thought you didn't hang out

with them anymore?

Yeah, I guess.

[chuckles]

That was a while ago.

[Grace]

So now what?

Hey, go slow.

Hold on, hold on.

Sorry.

OK, it's OK. Just go slow.

Holy sh*t.

[scoffs]

Wha... What's up, man?

Oh, what's up, man?

You tell me, playboy?

Nothing,

we were just hangin' out.

OK, these two were

just hangin' out, Timmy.

- Oh, that's cool.

- Oh, wait. Oh, wait, I'm sorry,

did I say, "hanging out,"

'cause what I meant to say was

Conrad's over here finger-blasting

the hell outta Grace.

- Dude, Hunter, shut up.

- You shut up!

Let's just get outta here,

dude, they're fine.

- How's this not piss you off?

- [Grace] Are you two gonna leave?

'Cause we were

just getting started,

and I'd really like

to get back to it.

[sighs]

C'mon. C'mon, let's go.

Jesus.

What the hell, man?

Grow up, Hunter.

[scoffs]

[Conrad]

I'm seriously sorry about that.

Stop apologizing for them.

I bet neither of them

even kissed a girl before.

[sighs]

What are they doing?

Um, they're heading up north

for the night.

For what?

To pack up Eric's dorm room.

You're not going?

No.

- Don't you think you should?

- God, stop.

- What?

- You sound just like them.

I'd just get in the way

and be miserable the whole time.

Besides, if I don't go,

then we'd have

the place to ourselves.

You don't think your parents

have thought of that?

Yeah, they gave me this whole

lecture on trust and stuff.

But I'm not a child.

Sleep with me tonight, Conrad.

[giggles]

It's just that, I just...

wanted things to be

about us right now. Ya know?

I want to. I just...

I just...

What? What?

- I don't know.

- What, what?

[sighs]

Well, I guess

you think about it,

and then you can come back later tonight...

Whatever happens, happens.

But... if you do want to,

then we need to be ready.

Know what I mean?

Yeah, think so.

[chuckles] Alright.

See you later tonight?

Alright.

[cashier] There you go.

Can I help you with something?

No. I'm good.

[exhales]

- [change rattles]

- Sorry.

Is that all?

Yeah. And some condoms, too.

- What's that?

- Um, some condoms, please.

What kind?

I don't care. It doesn't matter.

Eighteen seventy-nine.

Oh.

Watch where you're goin', dude.

You watch it.

- Hey, hold up, man.

- Just stay away from me.

Look... I'm sorry.

Alright.

No, no, no, seriously,

I am, OK?

It's just not the same

without you around.

[chuckles] I mean, we're all supposed

to be in this together, right?

And now Tim doesn't

even wanna talk to me anymore.

Oh, so now because you lost

your two best friends

you feel bad

that we let some kid die?

Hey, can we just

talk for a minute?

[groans]

[soft music playing]

I didn't think

you'd ever get here.

Hi.

Wow, you look beautiful.

Thanks.

Have you ever played

"what if", Conrad?

What do you mean?

What if our lives never crossed?

Like, what if we never met?

You wouldn't be in my life.

And everything

would be different.

This whole summer

would be different.

Yeah, it would be.

You make me really happy.

[heavy breathing]

You OK?

You OK?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Was last night OK?

Yeah. It was perfect, right?

Yeah, totally.

You sure you're alright?

I'm great.

What are you doing?

Goin' to church.

Mr. and Mrs. Morris

will be here to pick me up

any minute.

- Are you gonna be gone long?

- No, just a couple hours.

You can make yourself

at home though.

My parents won't be back

until the night.

[doorbell rings]

Grace, we're home.

She's in the shower.

[Mr. Turner]

Where is she?

She went to church.

You're not supposed

to be home...

We welcomed you into our home,

and this is what you do?

Mr. Turner...

Leave.

[bell tolls]

Hi, Grace.

Hey.

- Do you, do you have a second?

- Can you just leave me alone?

- It's important, OK.

- What do you want?

I want to say, um...

I'm sorry.

Sorry for, uh, for everything.

I just, uh, needed to say that.

[scoffs]

Jesus, you're a spaz.

[adult Conrad] What if lies

don't cover up the past?

Maybe they cover up

the present.

Turn us inside out,

and force themselves

to the surface.

I'm not gonna to stop

seeing him, Dad.

Frankly, Grace,

after what you've done,

you have no choice

in the matter.

Grace.

- Don't you turn your back.

- No!

- We trusted you!

- Let go of me.

You promised

you wouldn't betray that trust!

And yet you go right ahead

and walk all over it,

right when your mother and I

needed you most!

You both just can't

stand the fact

that I found something good.

That something

actually makes me happy.

- Gracie, please. Stop.

- Grace. Honey,

you need to be

honest with yourself,

and do what's right

for this family.

[crying]

You gotta be kidding me.

Grace,

It's already been decided.

Decided by who? The two of you?

You've barely even talked to

each other since Eric died.

You... you've barely even

looked at me since he died.

He has nothing to do with this.

He has everything

to do with it, Mom!

[crying]

[Mr. Turner] Grace!

Grace!

Conrad?

Conrad?

Oh, my God! Conrad!

Thank God. I've been

looking everywhere for you.

You... You OK?

- Your parent's came home.

- I know, but listen,

I don't care about what

they said, or what they want,

or about them at all.

You're the only one

that I care about anymore.

Just...

just run away with me.

- What?

- I'm serious. Let's just go.

Our parents are crazy.

We're better off alone

without them, together.

- Say you'll think about it.

- Grace, listen. Grace, listen.

You've already runaway.

We could live here for a while,

- and plan something out.

- Grace, stop!

[stutters]

What is it?

Conrad, talk to me.

[crying]

I let your brother die.

Wh.. What?

- I'm sorry.

- Wh.. what are you talking about?

The night of the accident

I was out with Hunter and Timmy,

and it was just supposed to be

this prank,

and nobody was

supposed to be home, but he was.

- Slow down.

- He chased us and he hit that deer.

You're not making any sense.

What are you talking about?

He hit the tree, and we didn't,

we didn't stay, I wish we had.

No, no, he was alone.

He wasn't, Grace.

This isn't...

this isn't funny.

This isn't a fun joke, don't...

tell me you're joking.

It's true.

Oh, my God, it's true,

- I can see it in your face.

- Grace, please.

- You watched him die.

- I didn't watch him die, Grace.

- I wanted to stay, I wanted to help him.
