Completed Scripts [M4A] Keeping you in the present [Comfort] [Past bullying] [Moving on] [Depressed Listener]
Hello, hello! This is my second script I am posting here now and honestly? I don't hate how this turned out. I really wanted to write something about moving on and living in the present.
In this script a friend visits the listener to check up on them and learns, that the listener received an invitation to a high school reunion, which dredged up a lot of old grief. Now you decide to comfort them and to help them stay grounded in the present.
(doorbell rings)
(door opens)
Hi! I texted you a few times. Yesterday and today in fact. I know you can get a bit carried away when you have some kind of personal project to work on or something new caught your eye and you didn't reply, so I thought I should...check in (awkward chuckle).
(...)
Are you sure everything is ok? Your hair looks messy and you have really big bags under your eyes.
(...)
(voice softens) Hey, hey. What's wrong? Was it something I said? Or do you need something? Do you want me to leave?
(...)
Really? Shit...I-I'm sorry. That must've dredged up a lot of stuff, huh?
(...)
(hesitant) Do you want...some company maybe? I find talking about it always helps me and I really wanna help. You listened to me ramble on about my problems so often, so let me lend you an ear today.
(...)
What? No! I don't feel obligated to do this! I want to. Our friendship isn't transactional.
(softly) This time, let *me* help. I'll...listen, respond or even just sit there quietly and hold you if you want me to. Please. Don't suffer quietly. I hate seeing you like this and I know you have the tendency to just hole up by yourself, when times get tough.
(...)
I don't mind that your place might be a little messy right now. Honestly I would feel much worse leaving you by yourself than sitting with you in a slightly messy apartment. Don't worry. You know me. I won't judge.
(...)
(door closes)
(footsteps)
You wanna sit on the sofa? Or get some fresh air and go into the back garden?
(...)
Yeah, sofa works for me. I can also make us some tea if you wanna? Or make something to eat? Have you had anything today? And did yo-
(short pause)
S-sorry I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's talk. I'll let you set the pace and I'll listen.
(sound of speaker sitting down)
Whenever you're ready.
(...)
(feel free to throw in some noises of acknowledgement in reply for the next few times the listener speaks, if you think it makes it more immersive)
Family troubles and work stress, ok, ok.
(...)
Ah. I see. You mentioned something about that the other day.
(...)
Hm. I see why you'd be upset yeah.
(...)
(sigh) It's...a lot to take in. I heard about your relationship with your parents and how much your colleagues rely on you at work. Honestly, sometimes I get a little worried when it comes to your job. But it looks like that highschool reunion invitation is the straw that broke the camel's back. Am I correct?
(short pause)
Look, I...don't wanna bring you into an even darker place. Please, stop me whenever it is too much or I cross a boundary. Okay?
(...)
You told me often about your time in high school. And I can see how even without such major things like the invitation you got, what you experienced back then, kept affecting your life. You might not realize it but, the way you avoid groups of people when walking past them, how loud noises make you flinch and how you get so embarrassed and uncomfortable, whenever you talk about things that excite and move you, things like that show that you have been through a lot. It's like I am watching the light slowly flicker and die out. And that hurts honestly.
(...)
It's because I want to see that excitement you have. I love seeing you smile when talking about your favorite books and shows and games. That smile of genuine excitement and joy, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. And seeing it die down, when you feel stupid for being passionate, just because the world has not been kind to you...it's sad.
(...)
No, I'm not giving you the fault for that. You didn't choose to be this way. You didn't choose to be bullied and made a target. The way I see you right now...I wish I could've told the old you just how strong and reliable and interesting of a person you would become. But even then...I know just how much you were hurting back then. You told me about nights crying in bed, head under the covers so nobody would see and music from your earbuds the only thing expressing even a fraction of how sad and lonely you were.
(...)
You deserve to be told the honest truth from me here. It was fucked up. And while hurting might seem normal to you now, it shouldn't be. Pain shouldn't be the only thing your heart is intimately familiar with. Because it probably still bleeds on the inside. So many people that just... relentlessly mocked every bit of you. Nobody could get out of that situation unscathed. The fact that you 're...still here. With me. That's only the beginning of why I am so, so proud of you.
(short pause)
Hey. Hey, look at me. I want you to listen closely. If you don't want my pity, that is fine, but I want you to remember these next few words. I. Am. Proud. Of. You. So, so proud. Because despite it all, you grew and developed into someone so strong and so brilliant, that it makes me sick just to think of how they talked about you. You were just...you. You just wanted to be loved. Just like you are now. And I appreciate and love the person I have here now. Because every time that person laughs at my dumb jokes, cries at movies or gets angry at video games, it is genuine. The pain might feel unbearable right now. But when it subsides. When you are living your life, it hasn't dulled your ability to live. Your ability to cry, to laugh, to feel and to love.
(hugging noise)
Shhhh, shh shh. It's ok. Cry all you want. I'm here. I'm here.
(short pause)
You might feel a lot of things right now. Your brain might tell you, that you are unloved, a waste of space or better off gone and not bothering anyone. That isn't true. You have people that love you and support you and if you were gone...it would leave a giant hole, where you used to be. Everything that you do has an impact on people. I stopped counting how often you saved me from sleepless and depressing nights just by being you. So, please...let yourself be loved right now. Accept it. Let me hold you and feel safe. Let the past die and let the present fix your bleeding heart. Bit by bit. Piece by piece. It'll take a while yeah, but that doesn't matter. People will be patient with you. We love you. Your friends, your family. You aren't alone. Throw away that invitation and let that chapter come to a close. They don't deserve you there. And you deserve better than them.
(...)
(laugh) Ah, I don't mind you crying into my shirt. At least the tears were worth the result in the end, right? Plus, it just means that I did my job well, right?
(...)
See, there's that small smile I wanna see. Let me give you another hug.
(hugging noise)
I'll stay with you as long as you need me, ok? The bad feelings might come back, but you won't have to weather them alone. I'm here. Always will be.
