EXT. TRAIN STATION DAYTIME

AMIRAH KHAN, a 19-year-old Asian girl is


wearing combat trousers and a black
turtleneck, looking distraught. Tears are
trickling down her face as she stares
straight ahead without blinking. She is
standing shakily on the edge of the train
platform. AMIRAH contemplates whether she
wants to jump. She leans forward, closes
her eyes, and takes a deep breath.
CUT TO:

AMIRAH KHAN (V.O)


I tried to come face to face with the
darkest moment in my life. I feel lost,
alone and confused. Ive lost my way down
such a rocky path, and I just dont know if
I can make my way back. Its life they say.
It will be okay they said. Tomorrow is a
new day

JESSSE dribbles the ball and tries to
shoot, but misses. JESSE turns around to
see where the ball went. He sees a girl
sitting on the bench reading her book with
her legs crossed.
She sees the ball rolling towards her she
looks up and sees JESSE walking towards
her. They smile at each other.

AMIRAH gets up and grins at him she then


tries to hand him ball.

AMIRAH KHAN (V.O)


That damn smile. It stuck with me from the
first day we met, speaking to him felt as
if Ive known him my whole life. But I know
what youre thinking. This girl is stupid.
Maybe I was stupid, maybe I still am, but
meeting him, spending time with him made me
happy. Made me forget all the bad things
going on in my life.

JESSE and AMIRAH walk together and JESSE


starts to bounce his basketball whilst
talking to AMIRAH

JESSE and AMIRAH sit together on the sofa
whilst watching TV. AMIRAH is watching TV
and laughs at something on the TV, JESSE is
admiring AMIRAH who then notices and they
smile at each other. She places her legs on
his lap and they talk for a long period of
time. They continue, and as time goes on
they continue to laugh and tickle each
other.

AMIRAH KHAN (V.O)


You must be thinking Im crazy. To be so
close and friendly to someone that I just
met. You may not understand, but in that
moment in time it took over my whole body,
I could speak to him for days on end;

There was a spark I guess. Those nice broad


shoulders... He was perfect.

AMIRAH takes out her phone and looks at the


time. She says something to JESSE. AMIRAH
comforts him and then guides him out the
door. They hug one another and he walks out
the door. Both smile on either side of the
door.

AMIRAH (V.O)
So yeah, thats how it started. He was mine
and I was his. Just like that. We were made
for each other.

JESSE is laying down on his bed as he


continues to text AMIRAH. He is constantly
laughing at his phone and then AMIRAH
invites him to her house for dinner. He
looks at the time and he jumps up to go get
ready.

AMIRAH KHAN (V.O)


Those late-night texts, left me with
butterflies in my stomach.

Oh my I sound so cheesy. But I felt it, me


and him could really do this.

INT. AMIRAHS HOUSE

AMIRAH is applying makeup on her face, the
doorbell rings and she goes to open it. It
is JESSE; they look at each other admirably.
He admires her effort and he looks around
and smiles at the candles and food on the
table. They sit down on the sofa and eat and
laugh together. Time goes by and they
continue to enjoy each others company.
AMIRAH is on her phone as JESSE tries to get
her attention. She fails to acknowledge him
so he tries to snatch the phone from her. He
stares at her and then gets up to leave.
AMIRAH reaches out to grab his arm, which he
quickly pushes throws off. He looks in
disgust and walks out slamming the door.
AMIRAH jumps from the door slamming.

AMIRAH (V.O)
One minute we was happy then the next
everything just happened so fast. Time
really doesnt wait for no one

AMIRAH opens the door and sees JESSE
standing their with a bunch of flowers with
apologetic smile and she nods and lets him
in. She takes the flowers and goes into the

kitchen to find a vase. JESSES wait
patiently in the living room. AMIRAHs phone
begins to ring and it is someone named

TONY. JESSE looks around for AMIRAH and


then quickly answers the phone. JESSE
immediately becomes enraged as he shouts
down the phone. AMIRAH rushes into the
living room, shouting at JESSE, who is
still talking on the phone whilst pushing
AMIRAH backwards. JESSE shoves the phone in
her face and pushes her against the wall
and begins to strangle her viscously.
AMIRAH struggles to breath as she grasps
for air. JESSE and AMIRAH exchange looks,
AMIRAH is becoming weak as her eye lids
begin to flutter.

AMIRAH (V.O)
This was the moment. The moment when his
grip on my neck tighten. I felt my legs go
numb my airways began to shut down and I
prepared myself. In that very moment, I
thought that was it. Was this going to be
the end?
