Suicide Kiss

Suicide Kiss
Austin:
(Gets up from bed goes to the bathroom and looks in the mirror) Are you kidding me? A pimple great!
(Puts concealer onto her face) Oh well this will have to do (goes to her room and gets dressed, walks to the front door, as she locks it she realizes her coat is stuck and it rips on the bottom) Oh My God! Can this get any worse! (Looks at her watch and leaves for work)
Carl:
(Standing up looking through the office window, picks up his phone, and dials Austin’s desk number) Hello Austin? Can I see you in my office A.S.A.P?
Austin:
Right away sir (gets up and walks to his office)
Carl:
Have a seat Austin. Now I know you’ve been working here for two years now as a temp and I see you’ve put in for full time with us. Unfortunately I am unable to accept your request because I am letting you go I’ve hired someone already for the full time position and we just can’t afford to have a full time and a temp
Austin:
So I’ve been laid off?
Carl:
Unfortunately yes I hope you understand
Austin:
(Gets up and leaves the office, heads back home when she gets into her home she sits on the couch and stares at the floor)(Crying) Oh my god what am I going to do?
Diablo:
Yea what are you going to do? Not much going for you is there?
Angela:
(Speaking to Diablo) What are you doing here?
Austin:
(Jumps up from the couch) Whoa what is anyone doing here? Who are you?
(Angela glares at Diablo)
Diablo:
Um we’re… (Pauses) fairies! Yea fairies
Austin:
Fairies?
Angela:
Yea… look it doesn’t really matter who we are. We both know what you’re thinking of doing and I really don’t think it’s worth it…
Diablo:
On the other hand what do you have to live for? I mean you have no one. Remember what your boyfriend said “You are worthless I can get anyone I want. I can’t take all this damn depression! It’s over and I don’t want you calling me!”
Austin:
(Sits back down on the couch) he’s right I don’t have anyone I have nothing (starts crying)
Angela:
It’s not true (Sits beside Austin on couch) you have yourself and you have me
Diablo:
(Sitting on the edge of the couch) yeah but for how long? (Turns to Austin) she’s a very busy person
Austin:
What am I supposed to do? I can’t pay rent. I have no family or friends to ask for help! I might as well be dead!
Diablo:
You’re right you should. Look you have some stuff you can tie together (Points to the corner of the room, starts laughing)
(Austin gets up and starts to create a noose)
Angela:
Stop it, don’t listen to him, you have so much promise so many things you can contribute to this world don’t end up like your brother
Austin:
You don’t know anything about him!
Angela:
I know he’s dead and I know you don’t want to end your life
Diablo:
Tick Tock I’m getting bored can you get this over with? Look, another thing you’re wasting, my time, I have a fulfilling life so um….
(Austin steps onto a stool and places her neck into the noose)
Angela:
So you’re really going to do this? You don’t care how much you mean to the world? (Gets no answer) okay then at least let me play your answering machine (presses play)
Answering machine: Hey this is Carl I have some great news for you. I went over to the boss and he agreed to hire two new full times so I’m hiring you back for full time just give me a call
Hey honey I know we had an argument but I’m so tired of fighting I didn’t mean what I said I do love you and I don’t want it to be over
(Austin smiles and tries to get down, her foot slips and she kicks the stool away by accident when she opens her eyes she’s staring at her own lifeless body)
Austin:
I’m dead?
Diablo:
Yes and it was quite funny if you ask me
Austin:
What happens now? (Crying)
Angela:
Well you killed yourself it’s not in my hand it’s in his (points to Diablo) I’m an angel Austin he’s a demon we’re the twins of life and death. We were sent to help you chose a path and you chose. You’re his now because you chose death
Diablo:
Yup, you’re all mine, now let’s go I got things to do
(Diablo starts walking away, Austin following him she stops and looks back at)(Angela steps back and kisses the top of Austin’s dead body then she disappears)
