Scene 7: Chase is alone in a cemetery. He has white roses surrounding him and also a bouquet of them in his hand. He is standing in front of Joanna�s grave and is speaking to the gravestone.
Chase: Hi Joanna. Well, you were cremated, but I had to give you a gravestone for people to see that you existed. You�re famous you know. People heard your story, and they sent all of these flowers to you. I quit my job at the hospital, and now I�m going to see if I can set up an organization in your name to help anyone who is being abused and has no where to go. I know you would have liked that. I wish you never spoke those last words to me. (His voice starts to shake) Why did you have to say that? I left, but you left, too. And you�ll never speak to anyone at all, only in heaven as an angel you can speak to me. You were my best friend, and I just wish I didn�t leave � that way, you might not have left either . . .
He bends his head down and the lights fade. |
