Johnny, Eric and Albert are sitting together on one of the tables outside the store

JOHNNY
No...but, he did tell me something
that made me punch his face though


ERIC
What the fuck?? What did he tell
you??


JOHNNY
Some shit about, wanting to break
up with Layla cause he can’t love
her the way she loves him..


ALBERT
Break up?? What??


JOHNNY
That’s what he told me..that’s why
I took a swing at him..


ERIC
(long pause)
I remember you said you will punch
his face for the next stupid mistake
he makes..but I think he lied..


JOHNNY
What?? Why would he lie about something
like that for??


ERIC
Beats me..


JOHNNY
Okay...So..what’s your point?? He wanted
to meet her here to break up with her
right??


Albert disagrees

JOHNNY
So why meet here for??


ERIC
They were arguing the night before,
cause Layla saw Chloe’s picture..


Johnny was brought to silence

ALBERT
He wanted to meet her here..to talk..
about what..I seriously don’t know..,
he told us, he wanted to fix the mess..
so..he could be lying to one of us..
either he really wanted to break up
with her..or to really patch up the
mess..


JOHNNY
You all were with him here before the
accident??


ERIC
Yeah..and he did say something about
Layla rejecting his call half an hour
before he was asked to go to the hospital..


JOHNNY
Okay wait..let me go back to the start..
he wanted to meet her here..to either
break up..OR fix the mess..


Both Eric and Albert nods

JOHNNY (CONT’D)

EXT. BEACH - MORNING

Its a typical sunny day in the beautiful beach of Miami. The SCENE opens on a private beach section of a hotel. The sight of beautiful people everywhere, people laying motionless tanning themselves, girls playing volleyball with each other, children playing frisbees, and some guys playing beach football

Not far from the hotel bar on the beach, under a tree, sitting on a lazy chair, with an extravagant looking beverage next to him on a table, in Oakley’s shades and a pair of white surfing shorts is Ethan. The music playing on the background is Just Feel Better by Santana feat. Steve Tyler

Writing something on a note pad while listening to music with his white Ipod Nano, the song currently playing is Crazy, by Aerosmith. Running out of idea of what to write, he looks towards the direction of girls walking around and tanning themselves. Liking what he is sees and grinning to himself, he continues writing

Moments later, a girl in shades and a white 2 piece bikini, walks pass. Ethan checks her out, she stop and stares at him back. Ethan removes his shade, with a slight frown and looking harder at the girl as she looks familiar

The girl with long brown hair and a white hair band, removes her shade. She is CHLOE, 21, Chinese, slim, fair complexion, with huge brown eyes. A girl that can be mistaken as Layla at any given moment of the day.

The music on Ethan’s Ipod shuffles to Shimmer, by Fuel which startles him as the coincidence seems as though its divine. Ethan smiles in disbelief, he removes the ear phone

ETHAN
(showing Chloe the display screen
of the Ipod)
Even the Ipod says its bad news..


CHLOE
I don’t know what is the song about..


ETHAN
(smiles)
Never mind..


Ethan gets off the lazy chair and they both hug in greeting

ETHAN (CONT’D)
How are you??


CHLOE
I am fine....you??


ETHAN
(sits down)
I am fine..


CHLOE
So..I see you finally make one of
your dreams come true..you are
finally here in Miami..


ETHAN
(smirks) (sits)
What a small world huh??


Chloe sits on the lazy chair next to Ethan

CHLOE
What you writing there?


ETHAN
(suspicious)
Something..


Chloe snatches the note pad from Ethan and starts reading, on the background the song changes to Blind, by Lifehouse

CHLOE
(slight frown)
The scene start out with someone dying..
I am speechless about your work..


Chloe continues reading

ETHAN
(smiles)
Yeah!


CHLOE
(flip the pages)
(reading)
Ahh..now she is alive..on a cruise...


ETHAN
You want a drink??


CHLOE
After I read this..


Ethan stares blankly into the ocean
