I Killed My BFF Page #5

---

you're very shaken.

- Oh, this whole this has

really rocked our family.

- Oh my god.

- [Strange distorted female

voice] Are you okay, Heather?

It is Heather, right?

- Yes, yes it's just--

- She lives right across the

courtyard from Shane and Alex.

Have you heard about all this?

It's just insane.

- [Shane] It's like our

innocence was taken from us.

- [Reporter] Well

there you have it.

We reiterate, if anyone

has any information

which could lead to the arrest

of these violent criminals,

you're asked to contact the

authorities immediately.

- Heather, hey.

Oh my god,

it is so good to see you.

Stuff has been going down.

- Yeah, I know.

I saw it on the news.

- It's so crazy, and scary.

I think the whole thing really

freaked Alex out, you know?

- Yeah, yeah I can only imagine.

- Yeah,

so we're actually about

to go to the park.

Do you want to come with us?

- You know what?

I actually haven't

been feeling that well,

and I think I might be

coming down with something.

- Okay, I'll see you later.

- Uh-huh.

- Welcome, welcome.

Come, this way.

Gentlemen, this is

the fabulous woman

that I was telling you about.

The one who own the chic

shop on West Jermaine.

She will make Godot look

like a million bucks.

- It's a big day for us.

Here it is.

- Congratulations,

and welcome aboard.

(glass bottle clanging together)

- Hey Alex, can I talk

with you for a sec?

- Yeah, sure.

- Alex, you've been a hell

of an asset around here.

The past four years you've

really stepped it

up big time, bro.

- Thank you.

- Look, I don't know what's

going on in your personal life.

We never had that

kind of relationship,

but this whole thing

has really put a cloud

over what we're

trying to do here.

And unfortunately, I think

I'm gonna have to let you go.

- What are you talking about?

- Look, the cops seem

to think that they have

some pretty strong

evidence you're their guy.

I don't trust cops

for half a second,

why would you do

something like this?

But, until this all blows over

it doesn't make any

sense to have you here.

- Pete, do you actually

believe that crap?

I mean, come on, I've run

this place for you, Peter.

This place would fall apart

without me dude, come on.

And, this is the thanks I get?

You accuse me of stealing?

You know what I think, Pete?

I think you've been skimming

off the top for years now.

You don't have enough money

to give raises this year?

You think I'm stupid?

Come on, man.

(door slams)

- (Knock on door)

- [Shane] One minute.

Careful.

What's goin' on?

- [Female officer]

Good evening ma'am,

are you Shane Reilly?

- I am, yeah, how

can I help you guys?

- Got a few questions about

the robbery your boyfriend,

Alex Lokken, was involved with.

You mind if we come in?

- That's fine, sure.

Right this way.

(somber music)

[SINGING]

And though the troubles in

the dark

I will hold

all the light's on you

We give ourselves

a shining start

All alone

All alone

And, all the roses

turn to black

And, my heart

is as cold as stone

We give ourselves

a shining start

All alone

(knock on door)

- Are you okay?

Hey, come in.

Come on.

What's up?

What's wrong?

- I'm screwed.

I'm so screwed.

I don't wanna go to jail.

I really don't wanna go to jail.

I keep lettin' her do this.

I've been following her

around like her little dog

our entire lives.

I don't know if I

can do it anymore.

- It's okay, it's alright.

I'm here.

And, we're gonna figure

this out together.

Okay, I'm here.

- I can't, I gotta go.

I gotta go,

I'm sorry.

(stumbles on stairs)

- Where have you been?

- Sit.

Sit, Shane.

Where have I been?

Where have I been?

I got fired today, babe.

You wanna know

what else, sweetie?

The cops know everything.

Everything!

Our kids,

our two babies get to

grow up parentless.

- You need to just shut

up and listen to me, Alex.

The cops have already been here.

I've been researching

this all night, okay?

We can beat this.

We just need to be

smart right now.

We neet to get married,

as soon as possible.

Federal law says that spouses

cannot testify

against each other.

Alex, they have no witnesses.

Do you understand?

If we can't testify, then

they don't have any evidence.

(laughs)

What?

What are you

laughing at?

- Is that the only reason

you want to get married?

- Oh my god, baby of course not.

Oh, come on.

You're Dylan's daddy.

You're the father

he's always wanted.

I wasn't ready

before but, you know,

this is our chance.

- Okay.

- There's just one more thing.

- [Alex] What?

- We need to talk about Heather.

She's the only one

who can screw us now.

She still needs need

us to testify for her

at her custody hearing, but

she's been acting really

weird with me, Alex.

We haven't lost her, but we

need to maintain control.

It also doesn't hurt that

she's in love with you.

Not sure if you've noticed.

I know things have been a

little weird with us recently.

I hate to even have

to bring this up, but

it looks like the cops think

Alex and I have something to do

with the robbery at

Troy's, which is crazy.

But, you are literally the

only person in the world

who can prove that we didn't.

- Hm, hm.

- Heather, I get it.

Your court date is coming up.

You're worried

about losing Molly.

I am terrified of

something happening

that can take me away

from Dylan and Sadie.

We're living parallel

lives right now.

It's like we almost have to

save each other, you know?

I'll testify for you,

if you testify for me.

(laughs)

- I don't know, Shane.

This is all just really,

really confusing.

- I know, I know.

You're the best friend

I've ever had, Heather.

Probably, the only person who

has ever really understood me.

Will you be my Maid of Honor?

- What?

- Alex proposed.

We're getting married,

next week.

- Ow, my god!

- Are you okay?

- No, it's just a splinter.

(knock at door)

- [Female officer] Miss Thomas?

We're investigating the robbery

at Troy's the other night.

Shane Reilly said

that she was with you?

So, you see Miss Reilly's alibi

for the night of the robbery

comes down to your

testimony, Heather.

I understand you have a

custody hearing coming up.

Let me remind you how

detrimental it could be

to withhold information

about this crime.

(somber music)

[SINGING]

I kneel before you

to catch your dripping tears

They fall into my palms

like oh so many years

I take the lashes

from your back

to make you smile

Carry you with broken feet

across the dusty mile.

(applause)

- So, I am so excited

that Alex found Shane.

There was a rocky

coupla years there.

But, I really think that Shane

is turning you into the man

you're meant to be.

Now, lets just all raise

a glass to Alex and Shane.

Cheers.

(cheers)

- I'll be right back.

Here, here, here,

here calm down.

God, there's so many

people in there.

I don't know how I

ever did this sober.

Alex, this is so weird for me.
