Nina Forever Page #3

i can do...

It's just something we all

have to live with, isn't it?

We just have

to keep on living.

Don't we, rob?

So, Holly,

what books do you like?

I don't really-- textbooks.

But I mean I don't really

enjoy reading those.

So do you really have

to go to university

to be an ambulance driver?

Paramedic.

So first time away from home.

I bet your mother misses you.

What are you, twenty?

Uh, no, I'm nineteen.

I guess rob is your first

proper boyfriend.

They need me.

Fine. Whatever.

Holly!

Excuse me, I'm just--

thank you.

I'm sorry.

Holly!

Come on, look, I'm sorry.

Don't ignore me.

Oh, come on, Holly,

stop being so f***ing childish.

What's there to talk about?

You wanna f***

your ex-girlfriend's mum.

F*** off, Holly!

Just 'cause I hold her hand

doesn't mean

i want to actually--

can we talk about this

somewhere else?

- Do you wanna sit here?

- No, you're fine.

It just felt like

i mean nothing to you.

I'm sorry.

I'm all she's got left.

And I wanted her

to meet you because...

I love you.

- Do you?

- Yes, I love you.

Prove it.

God, you are dark.

Finally, he realizes!

- Oh, Jesus, it's f***ing cold!

- Shh! Someone will hear us.

I really don't f***ing care!

I'm sorry.

Oh, f*** yeah.

Say goodbye to her.

Don't you think

that's a bit rude?

What the--

f***!

Ugh! F***!

What the f***

are you doing here?

Where else would I be?

I'm not gonna apologize

if that's what you want.

We make each other happy!

You don't make happiness.

It blooms on anything

you don't scrub too hard.

Nina, stop!

You don't think this is love,

do you, Holly?

I mean sure,

he's made you feel useful.

Every drop of semen that has

trickled down your belly

has been a splash of sunshine

on his grief-stricken brow.

But basically you're

Florence nightingale

job-sharing

with Linda lovelace.

Jesus, Nina!

This is f***ing ridiculous.

Nina, come on. Is this really

how you want to say goodbye?

No, but neither was going

through the windscreen

of a triumph spitfire,

but sometimes you don't

get a choice, honey.

Besides...

You never can say goodbye.

Ever.

What?

What are you doing here?

Don't even mention

the word "closure."

Face it, Holly.

You've been swaddled and carried

your whole life through.

All these f***ing lectures?

You know nothing.

You mean nothing.

To him or me.

You can't even

put your own trousers on.

Would you just stop?!

Nina.

This is the end, Nina.

I'm saying goodbye to you now.

I'm never gonna see you again.

Poor rob.

I'm clearing everything

out of the flat.

There's not going to be

a single trace of you left.

I think he's going to ask you

to move in with him.

Do you think you can

manage that, Holly?

Living in my house?

Do you really think

you can eradicate

every last trace of me?

Yes.

I love you, Holly.

Yes.

After you.

You know you won't be able to

see her parents anymore, right?

I mean, if this is gonna work.

Yeah, no, yeah.

I figured.

Would a car be useful?

What d'you mean?

For you.

Now that you're here,

rather than on campus.

Yeah, all right.

What if I sold the bike?

Rob, you can't do that.

What?

I don't ride it.

It's a waste.

I think walking is

all I'm about ready for.

Yup. That's where mine

used to go.

Can't believe

you threw all my sh*t away.

The least you could've done

was gone to oxfam.

Yup. There too.

Well, this is weird.

Why do you think I'm still here?

Okay, ignore it.

Good idea, sugar lump.

You can finish

reading it for me.

F*** you, Nina.

You already tried that.

Rob is never gonna

see you again.

You missed a bit.

Hiya! Did you see

the letterpress sold on ebay?

I said we'd deliver it,

could be your first trip

in your new car.

Holly, what the f***?

Why is this all white?

Is that... a new top?

If I was her,

I'd want you for myself

for the whole weekend!

You know what I mean.

You deserve it.

Thanks.

I don't just mean, um...

I couldn't get through

without you.

Sorry.

I don't mean

to offload on you.

No, it's-- it's okay.

I can't even

walk out on him, can I?

I mean, I could...

Walk out of here.

But it's all the other stuff,

you know.

How can you take

30 years of hang-ups

into a new relationship?

Wouldn't stand a chance,

would it?

Oh, you won't leave us,

will you?

No. No, of course not.

This'll be good though,

won't it?

Get to see the sea.

Drop this off to them

in the morning.

Make a weekend of it.

Go to the beach.

We could do anything.

What are you doing?

I dropped my phone.

Come on. Let's go.

Getting out of here

will do us both a world of good.

You're driving.

Yup. Sure.

All right, mate?

After all that,

i bet they don't want it.

"It didn't look that heavy

on ebay."

Don't mess me about, old man.

I'm a motherfucking

power seller.

So what d'you want to do now?

Fancy that chip shop we passed?

Ah! Oh!

What are you doing?

- Printing.

- Ah ha ha!

- Stay still!

- Uh!

- Oh, sh*t.

So... what's happening about

fish and chips then?

- Oh, my god.

Scratch me.

Hmm?

Scratch me.

Make me bleed.

I-i don't want to.

Wuss.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Come on.

You'll break your arm.

You are such a p*ssy.

- Oww!

- Nina! Please! Stop!

Shut up, rob.

This is what she wanted.

This is what darkness is, Holly.

Flesh trapped between metal.

Metal on bone.

Almost makes me nostalgic.

Oh, I can almost

taste the petrol.

- Please, I don't want this.

- Tough... sh*t.

You won. You fixed him.

Shame you don't

want him anymore.

What do you want, Nina?

Nothing.

Honey, you know it's not me

bringing me back.

Even if he's not here,

you've let me under your skin.

This is what you've won.

I'll always be here.

It's not true. It's my fault.

It's all my fault.

Get off!

You should thank me, really.

Now is definitely

the right time to end it.

You're not ready for someone

who doesn't need fixing, Holly.

A quiet job,

pint on the weekends,

it's rushing towards you,

coming to crush you.

Oh, f***! Are you okay?

I'm so sorry.

I'm so, so sorry.

It's got nothing

to do with you, rob.

I can't.

I can't do this anymore.

I can't look at you

without seeing her.

It's never going

to work out, is it?

If you don't mind me saying,

that's a very living way

of looking at the situation.

I'm mean, from my perspective,

it already hasn't...

Worked out.

Right?

What's happening?

Hello?

Please?

Uh...

Am I hurt?

Yes, but you're

gonna be all right.

I need you to

just keep talking to me.

Just keep talking to me, okay?

Now, what's your name?

Cassie.

Okay, Cassie, my name's Holly.

You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

Everything's going

to be all right.

Just hold my hand,

squeeze my hand.

You're gonna be all right.

It's gonna be alright.

Everything is gonna be

all right.

Everything's gonna be

all right.

This is amazing!

I mean, not--

i mean everyone.

But we saved

someone's life tonight!

Look, take this.

You're gonna freeze.

I mean, did you see

her f***ing leg?

I don't know how you kept
