I Killed My BFF Page #7

---

you have the power?

You're not getting

anywhere near my hearing,

and you wanna know why?

Because, I can have you

thrown in jail anytime I want.

I'm sorry about

the wine, sweetie.

- [Alex] What the hell

is your problem, Shane?

- Heather.

Heather, Heather!

Hey, hey, come here.

- Your wife's a b*tch, Alex.

I'm so sick of it.

It's hell.

It is honestly hell for

me to be sitting in there

looking at you two

pretending like,

like I don't just wanna...

- I know, I know.

I know.

I just don't know what to do.

We have kids, we're married.

- I love those kids, Alex.

I honestly think of Sadie

and Dylan as my own.

I just don't know

what to do about her.

I would do anything for you.

Anything.

- Okay, Shane is

leaving out of town.

We can spend some time together.

- What do you want

to do with me?

- I want to do

everything with you.

- So, where are you taking me?

- It's a surprise.

- I've a surprise for you, too.

- Yeah?

- I'll show you mine,

if you show me yours.

- It's just a place we

used to go in high school,

away from everything.

I think you'll like it.

- I'm honored you're

taking me to it.

- This is it.

- Wow, this is so magical.

- Grab this.

(pouring wine)

- Hey, you can relax.

You're here with me now.

(kissing)

(grunts)

- Surprise, didn't mean

to ruin the moment.

(grunts)

I begged you, Heather.

I begged you.

I don't ask for much, you know.

Just for my best

friends to have my back.

- What is she doing here?

- Do you think we wanted this?

Do you think we wanted

to lure you out here?

Do you think we

wanted any of this?

- Alex, you knew about this?

What is this?

Shane, look at me.

What is this?

- Stay down, you little slut.

You don't love me.

I'm replaceable.

As soon as you found someone

else to testify for you

you dropped me like a hot brick.

- Me?

You knew how careful I

had to be about Molly

and you didn't care.

You dragged me into this

without even caring,

without even thinking about me.

Alex, you know

that's what she does.

And, she's doing it again.

Please,

please stop her.

Please--

- [Shane] Shut up!

- No, don't.

No, this isn't happening.

Isn't happening,

isn't happening.

No, no, no.

- [Alex] stay still.

- Stay still!

- What do I do?

Alex?

- No.

- Alex?

- No!

(glass shatters)

(grunts)

(yelling)

- [Alex] Get off her!

Stand up!

Get off of her.

Stop.

(loud thud)

(gun fires)

Stay still.

I said, stay still

Stay still.

- You could have done

anything you wanted.

I idolized you.

But, you screwed up and

now you want to shut me up,

well guess what.

It's too late, the cops

already know everything.

- What the hell are

you talking about?

- The laptop with

the surveillance

you thought you destroyed?

I handed it over to the police.

- You're bluffing.

I don't believe

you for one second.

- Alex, they already know.

They know everything.

They know that you were just

dragged along for the ride.

You can still save yourself.

You don't have to ruin the

rest of your life, please.

I'm begging you.

Please.

- [Shane] Alex.

Alex.

- You wanna know why

you end up hurting

the people who

love you the most?

You're so afraid

of them seeing you

for the disappointment

you actually are.

You're a failure, Shane.

Thank god your father never

got to see who you became.

- Shoot her, Alex.

Shoot her.

- No, no Alex,

please, I love you.

We can be together.

- [Shane] Alex,

put your skinny little finger

on the trigger and shoot it.

Do it, do it now!

- No, shoot her!

- [Shane] Oh my god, do

I have to do everything?

- [Heather] Alex,

(gun fires)

(loud thud)

(coughs, gurgles)

I loved you, Alex.

(gun misfires)

(somber music)

(gun hits floor)

[SINGING]

People seem to see

right through me

but I'm alive

Alex, she'll

betray you too.

When it suits her.

I'm still waiting to be saved

- What is it gonna take

to shut you up!

- Shane, stop!

Shane, that's enough.

As I lay

on my tear stained pillow

Can anyone hear me call?

As I lay on my

tear stained pillow

Can anyone hear me fall

Can anyone hear me call

Is anyone there at all

Cause I'm still breathing

Come lie with me

And together we'll

rest in peace

together we'll rest in peace

together we'll rest in peace

(phone vibrates)

- Hello?

(sobs) no.

(door clicks shut)

- Sorry 'bout that.

- That's okay.

- Let's begin again.

The morning of the murder.

- I woke up and came

out of the bedroom.

I found Alex

extremely intoxicated.

He'd been sober for 22 months,

so it was really scary

to see him like that.

- But, why Heather?

Why would he kill her?

- Heather was the only

one who what he'd done,

besides me.

- Did he tell you what he

had planned to do to her?

- Yes, he did.

But, I guess I just

didn't believe him,

or maybe I didn't want to.

I just kind of panicked.

I didn't know what to do,

so I just...

When he took her out there,

I followed them.

But, it was too late.

I had just seen her

the night before,

my best friend.

It was like a horror movie.

Alex murdered her.

I know I should have come

forward sooner about everything.

But, I wanna help now,

in any way that I can.

It's taken some time, but

now I realize,

Alex is a psychopath.

- So, you're telling me that

this was all Alex's idea?

The robbery, the murder?

You weren't involved

in any of this?

- Absolutely not.

(rock music)

- [Female officer] You

are both under arrest.

- [Sadie] Mommy, daddy,

what is happening?

- [Shane] What?

- [Alex] What's you

tell them, Shane?

What'd you tell them?

- I didn't tell them anything.

Me, I need to talk

to the detective.

I'm...

[SINGING]

Come on light the darkest

night I see him in you

Holdin' that trigger

tight, got the devil in you

I know that it is time

I paid my dues

And I'll be by the river

if you make it on time

till the dark turns to light

you can bury my love

you can bury my love

I know that it's time

I paid my dues.

(door slams)
