Alex: I did too

(Jake and Craig walk back on)

Craig: That was pretty good I won’t lie

Jake: Yes yes it was, thanks for coming with!

Craig: Haha anytime bud

Alex: Hey guys welcome back

Craig: Thank you good sir. You guys wanna go back out now?

Alex: Maybe in a little bit

(Craig and Jake sit down, long pause)

Kayla: Ok well Craig we have got to talk about something

Craig: Alright, well what is it about?

(Alex and Jake look like they are getting ready for something, which makes Craig nervous)

Kayla: Ok well ever since your mom passed you seem to have completely forgotten about it.We don’t understand how you can just forget about something like that.

(Craig sounding offended)

Craig: You think I forgot about her? How could I do that when I stood over her dead body and had to ell her goodbye? When the last time I saw her alive I told her I hater her? Tell me how I can live with knowing that was the last thing I said to her?

Kayla: Oh… We didn’t know

Craig: I had so much hate inside of me when it happened. I didn’t know who or what to blame. So I blamed myself. Because the last thing I told my mom wasn’t I love you. It was I hate you. Tell me how I can forgive myself for that?

Alex: Craig, Why didn’t you tell us about this earlier? Were all your best friends and were here to help.

Craig: Yes I know you were there. But I couldn’t burden you with something like this. This is my struggle, I deserve this pain. It’s the only thing I deserve.

Jake: Craig you don’t deserve pain. What would your mom want for you? For you to hate yourself, or to help out the family and to show love to everyone around you?

Alex: Craig you like look like there’s something you haven’t said

Craig: Because there is, so after I said my goodbye’s I went into the waiting room. And the first person to see me was her best friend. She comes up to me and tells me that the last thing my mom told her before she went into surgery was….. was that she wanted her to tell her oldest son that she loves him more than anything and I mean everything to her. And no matter what that I need to take care of my brothers. It was like she knew she was going to die. And I was her first priority. I don’t deserve to be loved like that.

Kayla: Craig your mom was my best friend, and she told me all the time how much she loved you. You were her first boy. Her baby.

Alex: Craig, she knows you loved her. That’s what she will remember you for, the good times, not the bad. Craig you cant blame yourself for this.

Craig: How could I not Alex? You’ve never gone through anything like this so don’t talk like you know what its like.

Alex: Craig I never said I did. I’m just trying to help as best I can. I don’t know what its like to lose my mom. Especially so young, but you can’t act like you caused her death.

Jake: Craig your not to blame for this. Did you give her cancer? No she just happened to have noticed after she had you. It can’t just appear it take time for those to develop. And your words didn’t send her to her death but you know what. I bet that all she thought about before she went in was her family. And that includes you Craig!

Craig: Jake, I can’t accept that. I just feel like I caused this. Just give me time.

Kayla: Ok Craig we will and you can talk to us anytime you need to.

Craig: I know I can. You guys are the best, Thank you for always being there for me

Alex: Your welcome

Jake: Oh sure Alex, you take all the credit

Craig: I’ll tell you guys if I ever need to talk. But lets get back to business here.

Jake: YAAAAA!!!!

Kayla: Ya we should probably go back out now. People will be wondering where we are.

Alex: Alright lets kick it.

Craig: Kayla wait.

(Alex and Jake walk off stage)

Craig: Kayla, My Mom loved you so much, like the daughter she always wanted. And I thank you for that. For being there for her. You made her sp happy and I want you to know that she and I both love you a lot.

Kayla: Thank you Craig. I will never forget that.

Craig: Ok we should go catch up with the children HAHA

Kayla: Yes they are children all right

(Lights go out)
