Max sits on the sofa with his left sleeve rolled up. He gives himself an injection, grimaces, then sets down the needle. Jett sits along side him and helps roll down his sleeve.
JETT
Can I have a look at your injury?
MAX
(relaxes/tiny smile)
It's bad, Jett.
(looks away)
I don't think I'm going to make it.
JETT
(stares)
What? Of course you are. Don't talk so--
MAX
(looks at her)
Please, Jett.
(sighs)
My arm is tingling, and the wound won't stop bleeding.
(pause)
I just wanted to see you one last time.
(touches her face)
I love you, Jett. I just wanted you to know that. Please, go back to the chapel
before it gets dark.
JETT
(tears)
No, Max. You won't die--you can't.
Jett places her arms around his neck and buries her face into his chest. She sobs softly. Max holds her against him.
JETT
I love you, Max. Please don't leave me--you promised.
Max removes an envelope from his jacket and gives it to her. Jett doesn't accept it.
MAX
I want you to give this to my friend, Benson. His name is on the envelope. He'll
take care of you for me. I promise.
JETT
(angry)
No--you won't die.
MAX
Jett--please. Don't do this--
He sets the envelope down on the coffee table and looks into her eyes.
MAX
(gently)
Don't make it harder than it already is.
Jett leans toward him and kisses him gently on the lips. Despite here tears, she kisses him more passionately. Max aggressively responds. He then pulls away slowly.
MAX
(softly)
I'll walk you back to the chapel.
JETT
You wanted to get me alone--we're alone now. This may be our last chance.
MAX
(studies her)
There's nothing I'd love more, Jett, but that would hardly be fair to you..
Jett once more leans against him and kisses him, this time more aggressive. Max clings to her and returns the aggressive kiss.
INT. BEDROOM
We see Max and Jett bare and united beneath the sheets on the bed. Max kisses her neck and shoulders. Jett gasps softly and holds back her tears of sorrow. Jett then begins to kiss his neck. Max moans softly and shuts his eyes. His lips part slightly to gasp. We see the fangs within his mouth. He lowers his mouth to her shoulder and kisses her. He then pulls away and kisses her passionately on the mouth.
INT. CHAPEL
Collin paces the chapel near the altar and looks at the others. They remain seated on the pews with looks of dread.
COLLIN
What if Max had been bit? He wouldn't allow us to look at the wounds. If he
was bit, he could become a vampire himself.
ROB
Don't be ridiculous.
DAVIS
He was acting strange.
Rob looks away from both of them.
