Alone with Her Page #4

are, uh, traveling through Europe.

- Hmm. Where?

- Retired from what?

Uh, medicine. He's an eye doctor.

Very cool.

I'll see if my cousin Mark knows him.

I don't know, but...

You know, the last time I was there

he took me to

this really great fashion district

called Ridgewood.

- Have you ever been there?

- Yeah, yeah, of course.

- Do you mind if I use your restroom?

- No, not at all.

- Thank you.

- Go ahead.

There's no Ridgewood in Seattle.

I completely made that up.

- Don't say anything right now, okay?

- Why not?

Because I don't want to

put him on the spot like that.

We don't know what's going on.

I'm sure there's a good reason for it.

- You could just ask him.

- I will, but not with you here.

F***. F***.

Hello?

This is him.

What? No, I- I faxed that to him

on Monday.

Okay, well, you're gonna have to

give me an extra twenty minutes

because I'm on the West Side.

Okay, yes. Yes. Tell him

he will have it by two o'clock.

Okay. Yes. Thank you, Beth.

Good-bye.

- You have to go?

- Yes, I'm so sorry.

- So soon?

- Yeah, there's a mix-up at work,

- so I gotta go now. Sorry.

- Thanks for coming.

It's my pleasure.

Congratulations again.

- Thank you for everything.

- I'm so happy for you.

- Nice meeting you.

- Yeah, likewise.

I really liked her. I can see

why you guys are best friends.

Yeah, she's great. I mean, um,

she really liked you too, you know?

She likes to ask a lot of questions,

doesn't she?

She doesn't mean anything by it,

I swear.

No, no- I'm sure she doesn't, but-

by the way, she mentioned something

about Seattle,

like a, uh, shopping district

or something...

- Yeah.

- I can't remember.

I think it was called Bridgewood

or something like that.

Yeah, I think so.

Anyways, um, I may have said

that I've heard of it,

and I- I know that this is wrong,

but to be honest,

I- I've never heard of it.

It's just that she was

asking so many questions

and I had to go to the bathroom,

and I didn't want to be rude, but-

Don't worry about it.

Sometimes she's a real jerk, you know?

And you buy that?

Why wouldn't I?

You were totally grilling him.

Oh, God.

Just put this to bed, all right?

Seriously. It's so stupid.

Well, whatever.

You push me to go out with the guy

and give him a chance and-

Amy, I'm just saying, you know,

you're kind of f***ed up right now

and you're not seeing clearly.

I mean, yeah, he's doing

all these nice-

What, Ames? Come on,

I'm just trying to watch your back.

You're trying to watch your back.

- You should just do whatever you want.

- I will.

- Okay, good.

- I'm not a f***ing child, you know?

When did I ever say

you were a f***ing child?

While you've been working, he's been

saving my ass every f***ing day.

You know what? Forget it.

Forget it.

Just give him a f***ing chance.

Please.

Seattle, please.

Mark Fowles on Baxter Drive.

Hey, hey, Mark, it's Jen.

What do you say, cuz?

Um, listen, can you call me

at home tonight?

I need you to track down this doctor

that used to work in Beacon Hill.

He's gone. Rocky's gone.

He's not on the patio.

- Was the gate open?

- I mean, obviously.

F***, Jen, did you check

outside the gate?

Yeah, Amy, he's not there.

He's probably next door

or down the street at the park.

All right, I'll go look.

Just stay there. Just stay there.

Rocky!

Come on, Rocky!

Sorry.

Didn't mean to scare you.

What are you doing here?

I just spoke with Amy. I thought

I'd come out here and help you look.

No luck so far, huh?

No, but I'll be fine, thanks, okay?

Hey, look, maybe we should

just split up, okay?

You don't like me very much,

do you?

I don't even know you.

I mean, I know you're not

from Seattle, but...

- What are you talking about?

- Nothing. Just forget it.

Hey, how are you?

Oh. I can't talk right now.

What's wrong?

Amy, what-

Amy, what happened?

Talk to me.

What happened?

Jen's dead.

She fell down the stairs.

It was so dark.

What stairs?

At the park.

She was looking for Rocky,

and...

it was so wet and dark...

She must have slipped.

I couldn't go with her.

I couldn't go. I couldn't walk.

I'm gonna stay at my parents

for a few more days.

Okay, I understand.

Come back when you feel ready.

Look, I want you to know that

I'm still looking for Rocky.

Thank you, Doug.

Do you want some more?

I think I'm gonna go home now, okay?

How's Kathy?

Better, I'm sure, since this morning.

What do you mean?

She ended it.

Oh. I'm sorry.

It's for the best.

I haven't exactly been giving her

a lot of attention lately.

I know. I'm sorry.

No- hey, no. Don't say that, all right?

It wasn't working out.

Hey. I mean that, Amy.

Okay?

Now, you're gonna call me

if you need anything, right?

I'll see you tomorrow.

You're the best friend I have.

- Look who's home.

- Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Rocky!

Oh, my baby! Ooh, look at you!

Mmm...

So every night I've been

pretty much going around

the same sections of the neighborhood

callin' out his name, tryin' to find him.

And I'm sorta finishing my round,

and I figure that I should

check out that alley one last time.

So I go up to the alley

and I yell out Rocky's name,

- and then I hear this bark.

- Oh, my God.

So I run down the alley,

and there he is.

- That's- that's it.

- Holy sh*t.

Okay, okay, hold on already.

- I'm just gonna get a water.

- Yeah, sure.

You're not running away

this time, boy.

Hey.

Is something the matter?

It's okay, Doug.

F***!

It's all right.

I shouldn't have done this.

- No, Doug.

- I can do it. I can do it.

- No.

- I can do it!

It's not that.

Please. Don't!

Get off!

I'm sorry.

I can't do this. It's just not right.

We made a big mistake.

- I'm sorry.

- How can you say that?

It's not a mistake.

How can you say that?

I don't want to hurt you.

I care about you a lot.

Why? What do you have

to go back to?

I know that you're alone,

and I- I know that.

And I know that you're hurting.

We don't have to be alone. I-

- I think you should go home.

- No.

No, let's just- let's just talk about this.

- I need you to leave.

- I have done everything for you.

When you- when you lost your job,

when you hurt yourself,

when you had nothing,

I took care of you.

- I know you did.

- But you want to go back. To what?

Huh? To being alone?

To this empty room? To that brush?

Don't you get it?

I am here for you! I'm-

What the f*** are you talking about?

I love you!

You said "brush. " My brush.

What the f*** did you mean by that?

How did you know that?

There's no way you could-

Oh, my God.

F***!

F***.

Let me out.

No, no, no, no, no.

I need to explain-

- Get out of my f***ing way!

- I need to ex-

No! No! No! No!

Amy! Amy!

- F***!

- Let me in!

Amy!

Let me in!

Amy!

I don't want to-

I don't want to hurt you!

Just listen. I want you to listen.

I just wanted you to listen.

Please, Doug.

You have to let me out of here.

- I can't breathe.

- Shh. Just listen.

Just listen to me.

No...
