Blood Type: Unknown Page #5

You have no future ahead of you

other than alcohol and disease.

And if you keep going

down that path,

you're gonna have a life

full of pain and anguish.

Caitlyn is a hundred times

the person you are.

She's smart, funny, classy.

And somebody you can look up to

if you really wanna change.

You say you've been given

a second chance.

That's great.

Don't screw it up.

Why would you say that to me?

You're better than this, Alice.

What if I'm not?

Then I feel sorry for you.

Come on, Caitlyn, let's go.

I can't believe

you just did that.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I mean, she was being

ridiculous.

And she insulted you

and I just don't stand for that.

If she was a guy I would have

knocked her out cold.

Nobody insults

the people I like

and gets away with it.

That was amazing.

I've never had anyone

stand up for me

like that before.

You're special, Caitlyn.

I don't know

how else to say it.

You're worth fighting for.

Is this your car?

Um, I'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah.

Great.

Sh*t.

"And after he escaped

they ran away together

and lived

happily ever after."

Ridiculous.

You did.

You really did.

Is that my baby?

There she is.

Hi, Mom, Dad.

You're home!

Where's your stuff, honey,

I'll get it.

It's just one bag

in the back, thanks.

I'm good, it was good,

it wasn't bad.

I have to tell you

all about my roommate, though,

Mom.

I wish you could stay longer.

- The weekend's not enough.

- I know.

It was nice to get away

from my campus, though.

How are your classes?

Fine.

Not enough of a challenge

for my girl.

I knew college would be

a breeze for you.

Do you have any

favorite classes?

Creative wri...

...ting.

What was that?

Creative writing.

I thought you were

done with that.

It's an elective class.

Caitlyn, honey.

Why are you wasting your time

taking a class

that won't benefit you?

Well, who's to say

it won't, Dad?

I'm taking a full schedule

of classes,

over half of which require me

to be working

with numbers constantly.

Creative writing is

a nice break from it.

So you still wanna be

an accountant.

- I don't know.

- You don't know.

My daughter who has

such a promising future,

now she doesn't know

what she wants to do.

Tons of college students

don't know what

they wanna do, Dad.

You're not them.

Caitlyn, why

the sudden change of heart?

What else would you do, honey?

Dad.

I want to be a novelist.

That is a hobby.

It's such a difficult gamble

to be successful.

So what, Dad?

If it makes me happy

then what does it matter?

I mean, it's worked out

for other people.

Who's to say it won't for me?

You haven't even let me try.

Neither of you have read

anything that I've written.

How are you supposed to know

if I'm any good or not?

You're my parents.

Why can't you support me

on this?

Okay.

You had a long drive,

you're tired, I get it.

It's not just the drive

that's made me tired.

It's not being able to be honest

with you and share my feelings.

I mean, all my life

I've worried

about living up

to your expectations

and being who you want me to be

and I'm tired of it.

- Sweetie...

- I'm not done.

I love you both

and I'm very grateful

for everything

you've done for me.

You taught me to not

let anything get in the way

of my goals,

and that includes both of you.

Dinner was delicious.

You know what I need.

No.

What?

Look at you, come on.

I really don't wanna

hear this right now.

I just came

for what I paid you for.

I told you this isn't...

I'm not paying you

for your opinions,

I'm fine.

Enough, enough.

You're a mess.

Enough.

This is all I need.

Judging by the size

of that case I saw Adam take,

my heart sank.

He was the only person

I feel I can

be myself around right now.

And sometimes when things

are too good to be true,

they usually are.

Is there something

you wanna tell me?

Caitlyn, what are you

doing here?

I got back a few minutes ago.

What do you have there?

- It's not what you think.

- Really?

'Cause it looks like

you have a drug problem.

Do you have a drug problem,

Adam?

You wouldn't understand.

What wouldn't I understand?

Only two kinds of people

use needles,

those who need help

and those who like

poisoning their bodies.

Which one are you?

The first one.

Okay, why?

It's difficult to explain.

Why? What aren't

you telling me?

Just tell me the truth.

The truth?

My name is Adam

Elias Raul Francois

Demetrius Isaac

Robert Godfrey III.

And I'm...

423 years old.

Seriously? That's the best

you can come up with?

I knew you wouldn't believe me.

That's the most ridiculous

thing I ever heard.

I thought I meant

more to you than that.

You do. You wanted the truth,

and I told you.

Really?

You're 400 years old?

You're sticking

with that story?

I can prove it.

Well?

Fine.

What are you doing?

Oh, my God.

Are you insane?

I'll get a, I'll get a bandage.

No, don't.

Look.

See?

I'll heal.

How is...

How's that possible?

Are you a mutant or something?

No.

No, just unlucky.

So...

Are we still on for that movie?

Caitlyn?

Hello, Caitlyn?

Uh-oh.

Caitlyn, you're gonna be fine.

Brian.

Just relax, it's okay,

take a seat.

What's the matter?

Oh, my friend.

There you are.

I need your help.

I don't know what to do.

What happened?

I told her.

Told her what?

About me.

Oh.

Why did you do that?

She caught me in

an awkward situation,

I thought she could handle it.

What did she see?

The knife thing.

She seemed fine,

she asked me a couple questions

and then got

that look on her face.

Looks like she's trying

to process the news.

You think?

Look at her.

I've tried everything I can

to snap her out of it.

Can you talk to her?

What do you think I can do?

You talk to people

and give 'em guidance,

I thought you could help her

make sense of...

...me.

All right, I'll talk to her.

Thank you.

Just stay here

or look around or something.

Okay.

What's your name, dear?

Her name's Caitlyn.

Oh, okay.

Caitlyn.

Do you have a last name?

Landale.

That's a beautiful name.

I think I know what

you're feeling, Caitlyn.

Many questions are running

through your mind right now.

What just happened,

how is that possible,

am I dreaming.

I can answer one of them

for you.

No, you're not dreaming.

Caitlyn, it's okay.

You're safe.

I, I just can't believe it.

Usually it's easier

to believe something

that's right

in front of our eyes

and harder to believe

in the unseen.

Is it hard to believe because

you've never seen it before?

Then have faith.

All the proof you need

is right in front of you.

If you can't believe it's real,

have faith it's real.

This is a lot to take in.

Believe me, I know it is.

How you feeling?

A little better.

You'll be okay.

That I can promise you.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

Adam, can I have a word?

Certainly.

Excuse us for a minute.

- Thanks again.

- My pleasure.

However, I do have one concern.

What's that?

Have you told her
