Latter Days Page #7

Synopsis: Aaron Davis (Steve Sandvoss) and Christian Markelli (Wes Ramsey) are perhaps the two most opposite people in the world. Aaron is a passionate young Elder (a Mormon missionary) who wants to do his family and church proud. Christian is a shallow West Hollywood waiter/party boy who only looks forward to what man the next night will bring to him. After Aaron and three other Elders move into the apartment across from his, Christian's friends make a bet that he can't get one of them into the sack, so he instantly latches onto Aaron, suspecting there is more than meets the eye to him. There are two problems, though: Christian finds himself questioning his own identity as he falls in love with Aaron and the Mormon Church treats homosexuality as a sinful lifestyle. When Aaron's burgeoning sexuality is discovered, they will have to go through trials of regret, loss, perseverance, and forgiveness if they want to get to the thing that matters to them most: each other.

and make it better

Guilt distracts us from a greater truth... we have

an inherent ability to heal

We seem intent on living through even the worst heartbreak

How?

Practice

I worked through in the studio... I can't seem

to come up with a song for the single

You?

Couldn't sleep

So what... you sit here in the dark?

Hey. Let's just say f*** the no-carbs thing

let's go to Dupar's and eat pancakes till we choke huh?

Yeah... I think I'm just going to go back to bed

Tuesday, 3 am, once again I can't sleep

It's like I am waiting for time to fix some part of me

that keeps on breaking

I've already thrown out the newspaper and washed

the left over dishes

nothing to do but sit here and think

As a citizen and voter in the city of

Los Angeles it is up to you to decide

if you will allow...

Where are you going with my goddamn flowers

But they are...

We don't throw anything out that is not completely dead

Deal?

And another thing... you've got to quit coming over here

and moping around, you're f***ing depressing me

I am depressing you?

That's what I'm saying... If we've reached the

point where you're dragging my day well then...

we've got a problem... seriously

you got to do something... it's time to make a move

Find a way to get past this

Are you being the Oracle right now?

Nah... I'm just being a friend

Hello may I help you?

Are you Aaron Davis' mother?

I am sister Davis yes

I knew your son, in Los Angeles

Ah you must be one of the elders from there

you have that look

No, my name is Christian

He lost his watch

I wanted you to know how sorry I am

It kills me to think that I could

have caused him any pain

Wait!

Could be worse... could be raining

Oh yeah... it is raining

Only in LA it does rain when

the news has operation storm on

Don't suppose there is bills

of mine in that mail?

Oh my God...it's a copy of my video..

What?

Get outta here... it's about damn time

Been waiting to see this

Come on girl it's been so top secret

plug it in, let's go

OK, I don't want you to

snap to some judgement...

Why... It's some kind of like nasty-ass-Christina

Aguilera's-can't-go-wrong-with kind of video?

No, it's just...

Tuesday, 3 am

once again I'm wide awake

waiting for time to mend this part of me

that keeps on breaking

newspapers I threw away

washed the dishes in the sink

What the f***...

That's from my journal what the f***

is that stuff from my journal doing in here

You were the one always telling me to write

songs about you... I was gonna tell you...

or ask you or whatever...

You knew I would tell you to go f*** yourself..

so you what? You'd steal my most private personal hell

I've been trying to get past and you turn around

and throw it back in my face

is that it?

I just thought that something good could come

out of this

Oh for you maybe...

Jesus Chris... I did want to tell you

Look... I don't want to tell you

like this... but the record label they...

want me to move to New York for a while

cause... all the hot producers work in the clubs there

Have a nice trip

Help you?

I was looking for Christian...

Yeah um... no Chris is um....

Want me to give him a message or anything?

I heard you didn't get the part

I hate to admit it but I'm gonna miss you

when you go back to New York

Who said anything about leaving

Come on, you hate LA

Look if you tell anybody that I said this

I will ripp your lips off

I was miserable in New York

At least in LA you can be miserable

while you get a tan

My dear boy

I was hoping this was still good

Of course it's still good

I didn't have any place else to go

Welcome

Give my young friend whatever he wants

What will it be...

Just a coke, thank you

Nothing stronger?

You look like you could use it

If you don't mind me saying you look like um...

hell?

Why?

I didn't come to unload on you

Well, you gave me that privilege once

let me return the favour

After we met I was sent home and excommunicated

for being gay

Your church doesn't like alcohol or homosexuals

Well, I am definitely not joining

Can't imagine heaven without both

Sorry, go on

That led me to a brief but disastrous affair

with a sharp object

After the hospital stitched me up

my parents put me in this place

this facility where they were supposed to change me

and fix me

this one night I was on restriction

and I was cleaning this floor with a toothbrush

that's when I heard it

this voice

it was like an angel

It was just the TV

It was the strangest coincidence

I don't believe in coincidence

these days I believe in miracles

Maybe

Because the girl who was singing

she is only almost famous you wouldn't know her

but I did

And I know people feel this way about certain songs

but I felt like she was singing right to me

This is my young friend

We've met

I went by your place...

I sublet it...

Is this, this isn't...

He's a great tipper

Darlings the food is not gonna get

warmer sitting on the counter

Hot stuff coming through!

A toast

An affirmation

A prayer of thanks

I want you to know that wherever

we find ourselves in this world

Whatever our successes

or failures

Come this time of year you will always

have a place at my table...

and a place in my heart

Sometimes it all still feels like a mass of dots

but

more and more these days

I feel like we're all connected

and it's beautiful

and funny

and good.
