Natural Selection Page #5
- 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
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
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?
- 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.
- 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?
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.
- 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?
