Endless Love Page #7

even thought of her once.

And then you'll be free.

Are you all right, son?

No.

What do you want, David?

I want her.

I don't know why you

don't understand that.

Yeah, maybe I just didn't wanna.

What happened with your

mom, that was my fault.

I worked too hard.

I didn't make her happy.

Maybe she never loved me.

I don't know.

I never fought for her.

But I saw you and Jade together.

She loved you.

She believed in you.

I'm not letting you make

the same mistake I did.

Fight for her.

He'll take the shop

and he'll sue you.

You let that a**hole try.

You love this girl?

Yeah, I love her.

You really love her?

Yeah.

Then you fight for her and I'll

be proud of you if you do.

I always wondered who did that.

Shameful but necessary.

Do you want to get a coffee?

You didn't know Hugh

before all this.

I haven't lost all hope.

If we can get through

losing a child,

we can get through anything.

I know what's been done, David.

Don't judge me, you've

never been married.

How is she?

Uh...

She has a boyfriend.

His name is Miles.

He's pre-med, too.

You didn't want to

hear that, sorry.

It doesn't change anything.

I didn't think so.

Is she coming home for Christmas?

She is, but Hugh's never gonna

let her out of his sight.

He has his daughter back and

he's not gonna let her go now.

Just tell me where she'll be.

I'll meet her anywhere,

anywhere you would arrange.

I can't, David. I'm so sorry.

Anne, please.

David didn't get into UGA.

Did you know that?

Uh, no, I didn't.

Although I'm not surprised.

I am.

It's why I called Helen and she

said she never got my letter.

You told me it went

out with the mail.

It did.

Oh, Hugh.

How could you have fallen this far?

You've ruined this kid's future.

He's barely keeping afloat.

How do you know how

he's keeping afloat?

Because I saw him, Hugh.

It wasn't fair of you.

It's not right.

You saw him?

Yes, I did.

And did he ask about Jade?

Of course he did.

Did you tell him that

she's arriving today?

Hugh?

Hugh.

Hugh, this is it.

How you act right now determines

the rest of our lives.

Let this go.

Stop persecuting the poor kid

and look at who you've become.

No.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Pardon me. Excuse me.

- Sir.

- I got to get back there.

- You got to get back in line.

- Listen, my daughter may be in danger.

We have a restraining order...

Do you have a ticket for

a departing flight?

Please slow down, sir. Walk.

- Oh.

- Sorry.

- No, David, I can't.

- I'm sorry.

I had to see you.

I know it's crazy.

You could be arrested, David.

- My dad's here. You could go to jail.

- I know.

Just hear me out, okay?

Two tickets.

We can leave tonight.

We could go anywhere.

This isn't over, Jade.

I refuse to believe it's over.

I haven't moved on.

And I don't think you have either.

Do you love this other guy?

Do you love him like you love me?

Do you?

Of course not.

I won't love anyone

like I love you.

- We're leaving tonight.

- Okay.

- Okay. We'll figure it out.

- Okay.

And we'll leave this place behind.

You promise?

- I promise.

- Okay.

Go.

I got a restraining

order against a guy

who may have just gone

through security.

She's on a flight from Providence.

- She's at Gate 11 and I got to get back there.

- Dad.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah, it's fine.

- Yeah.

- We're fine.

- Okay. Have a nice day.

Were you driving the MG?

No, it must have been Keith.

This is the one.

When the CD player blew, we had to

bring all the records downstairs.

It's awesome.

What are you doing in here?

We were just listening.

He always had the best records.

This is not supposed to...

Oh, look at this. You scratched it.

You're supposed to put them back

in the sleeves immediately.

Dad, they're just records.

These are just things.

He'd want us to play them.

He's not here to ask, is he?

No, I guess he's not.

Keith.

- Where are you going?

- Sabine's.

Keith, what happened?

We disturbed the museum. I can't...

Every time I try to make

any kind of effort,

he just lashes out at me,

and I won't do it anymore.

I'm so sorry.

He has no respect

for Chris' things.

He knows better.

- Where are you going?

- I'm going with my son.

I'm sorry, honey.

You can't make the

rules for us anymore.

- We're adults.

- Well, then act like one.

You have wanted me to

choose this entire time.

Well, finally, I have.

I choose to live my own life.

I choose David.

Jade. Jade.

Jade.

Jade!

Hi.

I'll be right out.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Dad! Dad!

Dad, stop!

Whoa.

I warned you, David. You are

not taking my daughter.

- Whoa.

- Dad!

Get back in your car.

- Get the hell off my property.

- Dad, don't! Dad!

I told you to stay

away from my family!

Hey, she wants to go with me!

- Please! Dad!

- Get back in your f***ing car!

Dad, stop! You're gonna kill him!

She wants to be with me.

Let's go. Come on.

Oh, no, no.

Dad!

Oh, no, no.

Oh.

Hugh?

Hugh? Keith?

Hugh?

Hugh, come on. We got to go.

Help me get his things!

There's too much smoke. Come on.

Don't open the window!

My dad and my boyfriend are inside!

- Inside? Upstairs? Downstairs?

- I don't know!

David!

We gotta go!

We gotta go!

David!

Here.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

David!

I'm okay.

Wait! Wait, where's Anne? Keith!

They're gone!

Hugh!

Hugh!

Hugh.

Oh, my God.

Dad!

Dad!

David!

Anne's on her way.

I couldn't save him.

I tried.

I just...

I just couldn't.

And what I've done...

The people I've hurt.

I'm sorry.

I don't know how this happened.

It's okay.

It's not too late.

I think he's been punished enough.

Let him take you to the airport.

He wants to. He told me so.

Hmm?

Yeah?

- Okay.

- Good.

Let's go.

How are you, Mom? Will you be okay?

I don't know.

This is something that your

father and I need to do.

It doesn't mean that a part

of me won't always love him,

and maybe we'll find our way

back to each other, one day.

I don't want to leave

you like this.

I need you to.

It's your love that

inspires me, Jade.

Inspire me every day.

- Yeah?

- Okay.

I'm here if you need me.

And even if you don't,

that's okay, too.

California? That's a

long way back to Brown.

- Mmm-hmm.

- What exactly do you have planned?

I'm sworn to secrecy, sorry.

But we've got two days before

we go back to Rhode Island,

so I thought I'd make

them the best two days.

- Tell me.

- I can't.

Surprise!

- What?

- Yeah.

My God.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Oh, my God.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Mom's gonna kill you,

you know that, right?

Then we'll just have

to do it twice, then.

I, Keith, take you,

Sabine, to be my wife.

My first love was

everything all at once.

The kind you never fall back from.

Never try to.

Never want to.

A love so big, so strong,

it never dies, never fades,

never loses its electricity.

The kind of love you fight for.
