ETHAN
Hey..Layla is in the hospital??
Is she okay???

Buvein remain silent

Not far away from the reception counter, Vincent and Amy appears from behind a door, both crying

Ethan rush towards them

ETHAN
(to Vincent)
Uncle..is Layla okay??

A tearful Vincent exchanges look with a slight shook of his head

Ethan starts getting worry over the situation

ETHAN (CONT’D)
(to Buvein)
Dude..is she okay???

BUVEIN
Follow me..

Buvein walks towards an elevator not far away from where they are standing and Ethan follows behind

CUT TO:

INT. MORGUE - LATER

The white door opens, Buvein and Ethan walks in to a room where there is a single bed with a white cloth over a body

Ethan breathing heavily, nods at Buvein whom is standing close to the bed

Buvein removes the white cloth

Laying motionless on the bed with multiple cuts and several bruises on her face is
Layla

Ethan starts tearing and falls to his knees

Buvein walks towards Ethan

BUVEIN
I’m sorry..

Ethan latches on to his right leg and cry even louder

ETHAN
(crying)
Oh my God..Oh my fucking God...
no.....

BUVEIN
We can’t stay inside for long..

Moments later, Ethan composes himself and walks towards the motionless Layla

He strokes her hair like how he always do, tearing and unsure of what to say, he
kisses her one last

ETHAN
(whisper)
I’m sorry..

He lift Layla’s head and hugs her tightly

ETHAN (CONT’D)
(whisper)
I love you..

Ethan puts Layla back down and cover her up with the white cloth

Buvein puts his hand over Ethan’s shoulder to comfort him as they walks out of the room

BUVEIN
I’m sorry..

CUT TO:

INT. STARLITE MEDICAL CENTER - LATER

Ethan comes out of the morgue, still crying, he looks around searching for Vincent and Amy instead he sees Rob sitting on the bench near the reception desk reading a magazine

Disorientated from the experience, he sits next to Rob, and stares blankly towards the ceiling

ROB
I’m sorry man..

Tears starts flowing again

ROB (CONT’D)
They will all be here soon..

Ethan nods

ETHAN
If this is a fucking dream..
I want to wake up now..

CUT TO:

INT. STARLITE MEDICAL CENTER - LATER

All the familiar faces are now in the hospital

Davion comforting Jill whom is crying over his shoulders

Peter, Rob and Johnny doing likewise for Linda, Lily and Anabel

Tracy, Timmy and Shirley comforting Ethan, still siting on the same place he was before

SHIRLEY
(to Ethan)
You want something to drink??

Ethan staring blankly toward the reception desk did not respond

SHIRLEY (CONT’D)
Et??

TIMMY
Get him some water..

Shirley nods and walk away

TRACY
(to Timmy)
Dude..lets leave him alone for a
while..

As both Tracy and Timmy walk away to give Ethan some space, Ethan’s phone rings

Ethan left it ringing for quite some time before answering

ETHAN
(uninterested)
Yeah?? (long pause) okay..

He cuts the line, puts the phone back in the pocket and gets off his seat

ETHAN
(walking towards the exit)
The funeral starts tomorrow..

ROB
Where are you going??

ETHAN
To get some air..

Ethan exits the Emergency Room, went straight to his car and drives away

CUT TO:

I/E. ETHAN’S CAR - LATER

The red S40 is on the road now, speeding and over taking cars like a drunk driver
Inside the car, the speedo meter is at 160km/h and its still going up, playing on the background is With or Without You, by U2
Ethan, staring blankly onto the road and still over taking cars

LAYLA (V.O.)
What’s the name of this song??

ETHAN (V.O.)
With or Without You..

LAYLA (V.O.)
Nice song..

Ethan starts tearing again and he pulls over to the side of the road
Weeping by himself, he starts hitting the steering wheel

ETHAN
(weeping)
Why??

FADE OUT.
