- But that hasn't stopped

you from trying, has it?

Then there's still

some fight left in you.

- And in you.

- What do you want, Matt?

- I was thinking we can

go somewhere and talk?

- There is nothing

to talk about.

- Baby, please.

- I am not your baby.

- Look,

I know I've been a

real a**hole lately

and I'm sorry,

but I just...

Can we start over?

- Oh, come on.

I am not wasting any

more time with you,

so I'll make this quick.

You are a terrible person.

And I'm sick of everything

you put me through.

We're finished.

I don't wanna talk to you again.

Don't even say anything.

You were the biggest

mistake I ever made.

God, you scared

the hell outta me.

You need to stop doin' that.

- You really need to

stop getting in my way.

- Have you seen Tyler?

- No,

I haven't, why?

- We were supposed

to meet today.

- It's so sad,

how you look for pity

from anyone stupid

enough to give in to you.

- I don't, I don't...

- you think just because

you had a bad day,

the world should stop

and feel sorry for you.

I know what you're tryin' to do.

You think you can use Tyler

as a shoulder to cry on?

He's got enough on

his plate already.

- Indrid, I'm not...

- you know how many

people would kill, kill

to have your life?

You haven't had to worry

about a god damn thing

since the day you were born.

You have no idea what a

bad day really feels like.

But, one day,

one day you will.

And when that day comes,

be on your knees praying

to go back to days like these.

I see you.

And you're just a

prissy little b*tch

who knows nothing about

how hard life can be.

What's wrong with you?

- I just have a lot on my mind.

- Let me guess,

Paige.

I saw her and Matt

together today.

- Yeah, and?

- I don't know if...

- damn it, Indrid

don't, just tell me.

- They were makin' out,

outside by where the buses park.

I told you, man.

She never got over him.

- I can't believe I actually

thought things were different.

I was stupid to even think

she wanted anything

to do with me.

- I shouldn't have

said anything.

- No,

I needed to know.

I had a feeling it was

too good to be true.

You think I'm a complete

idiot, don't you?

- Not at all, Ty, not at all.

You just have too

much faith in people.

- I know.

But in the back of my mind

I always think

things might change,

that people might come around.

- People don't change.

They never do.

They can't.

- You never had faith in people?

- I see into people.

I see what they really are.

And I see the worst in them.

- Maybe you just never

gave them a chance.

- And why the hell should I?

Who the hell has ever

given me a chance?

I've been in the

dark my whole life.

When things get rough,

the only thing that will be

there for you is yourself.

It won't be the world.

It won't be god.

Neither of them have

done a damn thing for me.

- Yeah, I know.

- Then why even

give 'em a chance?

God, the world,

they have left us behind to rot.

- When's this gonna stop?

- When the world burns.

- Tyler wait.

- What do you want, Paige?

- Could we please talk?

- There's nothing to talk about.

- Indrid came up

to me yesterday...

- no, no, I'm not

falling for that crap.

Indrid is my friend.

He warned me about you.

- What are you talking about?

- I know about your little

games, your little secrets.

Now you're comin' up to me

trying to talk bad about Indrid?

No, I'm not fallin' for it.

- I don't wanna argue.

I'm just worried about you.

- Okay, look Paige,

this is too hard for me.

I can't keep doing this.

I care about you, but...

- Tyler, what is

happening to you?

- Indrid told me...

- what?

What did Indrid tell you, Tyler?

I don't know what he's been

filling your head with about me,

but I know it's not true.

I wouldn't lie to you.

Just believe me.

- I don't know what

to believe anymore.

- I know what Indrid is.

He's no good, Tyler.

He's bringing you down with

him, can't you see that?

You're a good person, Tyler.

I see it in you.

Just please don't push me away.

- I have to go.

Indrid?

- Yeah?

- We're friends, right?

Like you have my back and stuff?

- Are you serious?

Haven't I been there

for you since day one?

I'm pretty sure I got

a cracked rib over you.

What made you bring that up?

Does this have anything

to do with Paige?

Did she say something to you?

Ask yourself this, Ty.

How many rough spots have

you found yourself in

since she's been in

the picture, hmm?

And of all the sh*t

she's drug you into,

who's the only person

that pulled you out?

Me.

Just remember that.

She'll get what's comin' to her.

- What do you mean by that?

- What is it with you, huh?

The b*tch plays you for a fool,

screws with your head and

dropped you like a bad habit,

and you still give her

the benefit of the doubt?

I don't get it.

- Hey, what's wrong with you?

- Nothing.

Who was at the door?

- Jehovah's witness.

Those people got some nerve.

- Can you gimme a

ride back to my place?

- You don't wanna

finish this game?

- I think I already know

how it's going to end.

- Ty, I won't be able to

give you a ride tomorrow.

I got somethin' I

gotta take care of.

- Hello?

- Hey, it's Tyler.

- Hey.

Tyler, I'm so glad you called.

I know I ran off on you earlier.

- No, Tyler, it's okay.

- No, it's not.

You needed me to hear

you and I didn't.

- Just tell me what's going on.

- I know I don't always

say what I'm thinking

and that I keep

most of it inside.

But, I'm just scared

of what you might think

if I told you how I felt

and what it really means.

- You can tell me

anything, Tyler.

- It's just there's so much

going on inside, you know.

And I'm being pulled

in every direction.

I get so lost sometimes.

Can we meet?

Can you come to my

place in the morning?

- Uh, I have a study

group first period.

I could come right after?

- If you can't, I'll understand.

But, if you change your mind,

I'll be waiting for you.

I hope you come.

- Tyler, you're scaring me.

- Bye, Paige.

- Tyler!

Tyler!

- Look inside your heart.

Accept Jesus into

your life today.

For tomorrow is

promised to no one.

You do not wanna

be caught off-guard

when judgment comes

and judgment is coming, soon.

We must have absolution

this very day.

Because where will you

be when judgment comes?

Where will you be

when the world ends?

You must remember

revelations 6:
8, my friends.

"And I looked and

behold the pale horse.

"And his name that sat on him

"was death and hell

followed with him.

"And power was given unto them

"over the fourth

part of the earth.

"To kill with sword and

with hunger and with death

"and with the beasts

of the earth."

- "And all the king's horses

"and all the king's men

"could not put 'em back

"together again."

- Where will you

be on the day of reckoning?

Where will you be?

- I thought you had

something to do.

- Get outta here, Tyler.

- What's going on, Indrid?

- Go home.

- Is Mr. Stevenson in yet?
