Chapter Three — Awake 𒈔
= Jane and Friends's chit chat =
After putting everything she needed in her backpack, Jane sneaked toward her room, her mind racing in thoughts, anticipating the worst that could happen at the party, and considering what couldn't happen as well. She immediately grabbed her notebook and pen, and as Skype opened, she immersed herself in the pages, as a way to console herself from the future embarrassment.
Jane glances at her chat list, one user was spamming messages that she dared to ignore. Her thoughts were erased when her friends group call rang wildly.
Jane (inner monologue): Seriously? One day they'll explode my eardrums.
When she intiated the group call, she saw Elijah, David and Andrew, all of them greeting each other.
David: Wassup gurl. (he waves, Jane waves back)
Elijah: I'm fine, and ya? (he grinned quizzically)
David: I was talking to Phoenix, fucking stoner.
Elijah: Looks like Maxine is already up to the party… LOL.
Maxine was her bedroom, her gaze fixed on the mirror as she corrected a smudge made by the hideous blue lipstick she thought would be a good idea to use.
Jane: You're gonna use this lipstick again? (chuckles)
David: The heck—
Maxine: (she looks at the screen, and then at the mirror) You pervs! Jane, you're only jealous cuz my lipstick is more shinier than yours!
Jane: I don't use lipstick at a-all… (she rolls her eyes)
Elijah looks at her sketchbook, noticing that Jane was doodling like a form to avoid their matter.
Elijah (curious): Whatcha' you drawing?
Jane: Is n-none of your business! (she fluttered)
Elijah: Let me guess, thinkin' on Mike again?
Jane: Y-yeah, sort of… (She sighs)
The other girl walks to her desk and sits down.
Maxine: I'm here, guys. Did I missed anything else?
David: Nah, (shrugs) we're just discussing about if Mike will use condom or not—
Jane (yelling): Shaddap! You jerk!
Elijah: Where's your brother?
Jane glances back at the door, she considered that she'll not enter in her room this time, and then she looks back at her laptop.
Jane: He's doing his costume stuff, he really believes he can be a skeleton.
Elijah: He'll be, if he workout to get in your shape. (he laughs)
Jane: Hey! I'm not that s-skinny! Is just my body type!
David: Just like your charisma. You need to work this out girl. Specially your stuttering. Did you practiced before we go?
(CANON CHOICE - Jane practiced in the bathroom)
Jane: I think I’m a little r-rusty. He asked me out and I just said (she makes a high-pitched voice) "Uh, we could play some games, curl up under a blanket, and eat Cheetos 'til we're full."
Maxine: That sounds lame, Phoenix... You know exactly what he likes, you're into him, right?
> He's hot… Jane: Duh, I know that he's hot, athletic, smart... whatever. S-so yeah. (nodding)
Maxine: That's the spirit gurl. You'll thank me when I prepare for your wedding! (all the group laughed except Jane, who fluttered once again)
Jane: A-are you crazy?! D-don’t you think you’re rushing things a bit?
Maxine: And I’m the one rushing things? You’re the one who said yes to Mike!
Jane: O-okay…okay…whatever…
Elijah: So, you have posted your look on facebook?
Jane: 'course I did, a few people liked my outfit.
David: I'm seeing now, and … Jeez, Evan Porter give just it….a heart?
Elijah: Since I 'now, a heart doesn't have the same weight as a thumbs up.
Jane: I dunno, (she frowns her head) he's just a-another creep who invades my page, every once in a while…
Lucas barges in her room with the door creaking open. Jane rolls her eyes, her face painted with face paint, and even her fingertips have been brushed with precision to look like bones.
Lucas: Hey Phoenix! Just finished my costume! So, what do you think? I used your supplies for my hands and face!
Lucas: And I wanted to give you back your palette. Sorry for borrowing it.
He gives to Jane, her pallete, who tossed on her bed.
Elijah: (waving) Hi Luca, nice costume bro! David: You are the boss at crafting!
Maxine just waves.
Lucas: Thank you guys! It took me a whole hour to make—
Jane: Lucas… (her fingertips touches her nose bridge) can you go play outside? You can ask our tío to go with you.
Lucas: But, but I want to stay in here.
Jane: N-nice try… I give you five seconds, to get out of here or you'll be toast, okay?
Lucas: But—
Jane: Okay, so go play outside.
Lucas: But I want to s—
Jane: Go play outside…
Lucas: But…!
Jane: Go. play. outside! You twit. (Jane hissed)
Lucas lowers his head and then walks dejectedly toward the door, as Jane gestures him to quit, he aggresively closed the door with a loud thud that even Enrique could hear from downstairs.
She sits back down.
Jane: Ignore him, he's a menace.
David: Oh man… Phoenix, what's your problem? He is just a kid, y' know?
Maxine: Phoenix, you're being a bitch!
> He's annoying! Jane: He's n-not all sunshine… M-Maxine knows how it is when he wants something. He'll not give up until he earns it.
Maxine: Ugh, you never learn, do you? Whatever…
Jane: Okay so um… My uncle said that he'll call your dad to bring us to Mike's house.
Maxine: That explains why he is so annoyed at me… Seriously I gotta lie too much about the sleepover? You sucks guys.
Jane: Perdón, tío's orders. (smirks)
David: At least we gotta have so much fun!
Elijah: Except me… I’ll just be third-wheeling in the corner while everyone else is making out. (he whines)
Lucas can be seen through Jane's window as they walks outside, he is looking down, and until he disappears out of view.
Jane, who was busy watching them, snaps out of her daze when Maxine speaks directly to her.
Maxine: Phoenix…? Phoenix!
Jane: What?
Maxine: Phoenix, you seems anxious, is there something you wanna say?…
Jane: Uh, yeah! Yeah it is!
She clears her throat, straightened in her seat, making her other two friends curious and thirsty to know more.
David: What she's gonna do?
Elijah: I have no idea, jeeeez….. (he whispers)
Jane: Well, is something I want to say since we met.
Jane: M-Max, I want to confess something to you—
Lucas (off-screen, muted): I'm not afraid of you, nosey-boogey! Just leave me alone! What's your problem?!
Jane peeks out the window, seeing Liam and Lucas arguing.
Jane: Bloody shit… what's he's doing— Hold on, I n-need to check out on something…
David: What the hell, Phoenix?
Elijah: She sounds like she saw a ghost…
Maxine: W-what do you wanna confess? Hey!
Jane runs out her bedroom.
= The Last one to Awake=
Jane runs outside to investigate the commotion.
Liam: Nosey-boogey is your Mama, asshole! (says Liam, pushing backwards Lucas. The bully's shirt is covered with blue paint.)
Lucas: But what's the problem? It's just paint... I tripped and the bucket fell off the ladder! (Lucas looks at the fallen bucket, with paint splattered in the grass)
Jane: Hey! What's g-going on here?! (Jane appears behind Lucas, her hands in his shoulders) Liam: Fuck you, Álton! Next time you'll escort your fucking toddler before they get blue paint shit in someone's shirt! Lucas: How could I have known there would be a ladder under you? Jane: Look, you grown fellow man, he's my..uh, b-brother! you have no right to talk to him like this.
Liam starts to cackle, teasing the girl.
Jane: Hey, what is that f-funny?
Liam: Is funny for you to stand up since you're only a weak nerdy little girl who hates socializing, and likes to read the Torah at local churches at Sundays! Jane: Oh yeah? only your words bleed. I g-guess you wouldn't be able to take a big guy like you to a fight...
Liam: Are you...challenging me? I'm impressed.
> DEFEND LUCAS (Canon Choice) Jane: Liam... let's talk. I know you're pissed off about what Lucas did, but it's not his fault. He's just a fucking kid, you know? Liam: Yeah? For me he is a damn whiny twink! Jane: A "whiny twink"? What about your sister? You would have courage to say something like this to her?! Jane: The Torah teaches us not to harm our fellow, especially those of our own people. Liam: You and your fucking Jewish lessons, how funny!
Enrique: What's going on? Jane, explain yourself.
Jane: H-he was insulting my brother, I had to do something—
Enrique: That's enough! You two get inside, now! Son, did you took your pills this morning?
Liam frowned his lips.
Enrique: Go back to your home now! or I'll call the police.
Liam: Y-you know what?! I'm sick of all this. (He erratically searches something in his pockets)
Lucas (scared): Phoenix… there's something in his hands.
Enrique (tense): Liam? What are you doing? Tell me what you got in there.
Liam pulls a pistol from his jeans pocket. In trembling hands, his finger is already on the trigger, already aiming into Enrique's head.
Enrique: Liam, you don’t know what you’re doing! You have to control yourself! Just like the Torah teaches…
Liam: I'm TIRED of your stupid Jewish lessons shit. Did you just think your GOD will come here to do all the dirty work for ya!?
Lucas: (starts crying)
Enrique: Son, you're not yourself. just put that thing down. There's kids here.
Lucas starts hyperventlating, making Jane to reach out to him, he whispers in his ear.
Jane: Keep calm, Lucas… Take a deep breath…
Liam (shouting): JUST FUCKING SHUT UP! I'M DONE WITH YOU!
Lucas: I… I…
Enrique: Give me that gun, now!
The tension begins to rise.
Liam: DON'T MOVE ANY CLOSER OR I'LL SHOOT!
Lucas: (loud scream)
Then, a snap..
Liam's neck snapped like a ragdoll, but it was already too late. He have already pulled the trigger into Enrique, erratically. The bullet went through his chest, he collapsed to the ground, his pistol losing grip from Liam's hand. Blood splattered into Lucas face, who stares at the corpse in shock and horror, of what he did and what Liam did it.
Jane is thrown backwards into the air, hitting her head into a nearby pole. The screen cuts to black.
The screen fades in showing Liam's mom coming after him after witnessing the wreckage from her home foyer, only sobbing and tears were shed while he's cuddling him like a child.
Jane wakes up, a leaking fire hydrant can be heard. Jane looks around, everything in the Álton front yard is a mess.
Jane: Lucas…what did you do…? (she moves her hands to her mouth in shock)
A utility pole is at a 30° angle, Brett is still on the ground, rocks and debris litter the road. The camera pans to show a flaming vehicle.
The camera then pans to a dead Liam laying motionless, her mum's cuddling him. The old lady had heard something, Jane rapidly hides in the back door. Her breathing unstable.
Jane: Oh my god… why now? why like this…?
A thought came to mind.
Jane (whispering): Enrique! (She quickly sneaks to the entrance of the house, sensing that the looney's mom has moved far enough away for her to get close to Enrique.)
She encounters Enrique lying dead on the grass, shot in the chest.
Jane: Uncle, Uncle Enrique! Enrique, listen to me! (no response) No…
Sirens can be heard in the background.
Jane: L-Lucas! Lucas! Why you did this!? WHY NOW?!
Jane turns Lucas over, Lucas groans, Jane slaps his cheek for a reaction but nothing happens.
Jane: WE GOTTA…WE GOTTA GO NOW!
Lucas lightly groans as Jane picks him up. Jane carries him to the porch, drops him off and fetches his bag. Jane picks him up again as the sound of sirens gets closer.
Jane runs away just before two police cars arrive at the scene, cut to black. << Previous
CHAPTER 6 AND 7 IS OUT!!!! Dev's Note: I AM VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT EPISODE 1 IS FINALLY COMPLETE!!!! >w< and I would like to thank everyone who has followed this work so far! I promise that in the next episode I will clarify some questions that I left unanswered due to plot holes.
I have changed plot direction due to a few bursts of ideas I have been having these weeks. I couldn't save it the whole episode before my new idea, but I'll make a prologue animation first. Stay tuned for upcoming updates!
Remember that this journey is not over, is only the beginning. And a an end of a new cycle.
CHAPTER FOUR AND FIVE IS OUT!! Dev's note: It took me a while to post because I've been working on the story and I'm going to have to make some small but drastic changes. That's why I want to release the entire episode so I can rewrite it and present it in a different way. The third and last written part of chapter one is still on development, but I'll bring it up as soon as I can!
disclaimer: the written version may differ from the visual content. But can reveal a few hidden informations and rewrites I couldn't do in-game.
Chapter Two — It Feels like Home.
When Jane entered the house, two figures were waiting for them at the kitchen counter. Her brother, a boy around 6 or 7 years old was shoveling a handful of chocolate cereal to his mouth. And her uncle, a man around his 40s, he was standing there chatting with his nephew until Jane came in, the boy listened to everything while cleaning his bowl.
Jane quickly runs over a fridge, picking up her half eaten japanese dish, dragging it to the counter. Enrique: Not even saying hi to us? Are you sure you are my lovely sobrina? Jane: I... I'm in a hurry. I need to have enough energy rush today. The girl sunk in the chair, barely holding her chopsticks properly, stuffing her mouth with sashimi.
Enrique: Hmmm, let me guess... You're going to a party tonight, isn't it?
Jane: Who could you— nevermind! Lucas: I think Max wants Mike and Phoenix to be boyfriend and girlfriend!
Jane: Buddy, y-you don't have a girlfriend, h-how could you know that? (she said with her mouth full) Lucas: I have seen this in movies, and your face....blaaaargh! everytime you sees him. (he winks)
Jane: Wha- I don't- I don't like him like this! At all! (Jane frowns her brows making Lucas to laugh a bit) Lucas responds to this with a soft jab in her stomach.
Enrique: Okay, that's enough. If you two fight like that you two will never mature. "No sean idiotas!" that's all I'm asking for.
Jane: But he started- Enrique: Ugh, let's as follows: I'll give you two this delicious Dark Chocolate Snickers bar. Enrique put one snickers bar on the counter.
Jane: I… I gotta head to bed. I have some stuff to do.
Enrique: C'mon sobrina, cheer your spirit at least a little. In a couple of months will be Christmas, then you can do what ever you want in winter vacation.
Enrique: Now... I give you this one single chocolate bar. (he picks up the candy again)
Jane: But it's just one chocolate bar. Unless we-
Enrique: That's the point. When... (Enrique breaks the chocolate bar in half) we break it in half, it becomes two. (He gaves the two pieces for the siblings) But originally, those two are one, since from the beginning.
Lucas: I don't get it... (he begins to whisper to Jane) What did he mean by that?
Jane: (she whispers back) I have no clue.
Enrique: I just want you to think about that the next time you start throwing a tantrum.
Enrique: Okay. Going back to work. And you better play nice together… (pointing his finger) Like you always do…
Enrique goes to the garage. Lucas: (grinning) I gotta go to do my super secret stuff in my room. And better not disturb me, sis!
Lucas runs into his room, leaving Jane alone with her sushi, after finishing up, she can wander around the house before going to her bedroom.
Jane: (teasingly) Okay, let's get some sleep.
[TIME SKIP - 2 HOURS LATER]
Jane has a moment of calm, listening to heavy metal. [Devils Never Cry]. She sees her brother Lucas sneak up to her room and picking up art supplies from her cabinet, Jane frowns in anger as she sees Lucas sprinting to the door, leaving the room.
Jane: What the- Ugh... (she takes off her headset)
Jane looked at her open sketchbook let astray on her bed. She picked it up, realizing it had opened to a page with a drawing she had made of Max. She spends a bit of time looking at it with unease. Until she snaps out of her thoughts. Jane (inner monologue): What time is it? Need to take care of the party list…
= Jane's Room =
✬ Look at Movie Poster Jane: Too excited for their sequel, probably will be a banger.
✬ Look at Polaroid Jane: We took a picture together in the New Year's Eve. I'll never forget her smile.
✬ Look at Picture Jane: I was eating grapes enjoying 4th july. Hope the seed doesn't grow in my belly…
✬ Look at Music Player Jane: Don't forget my Linkin Park rush.
✬ Look at Picture Jane: He was so proud of me when I won the Art & Craft contest… This was the first time I saw my uncle smile.
✬ Look at Movie Poster 2 Jane: I'm not into sci-fi movies…But at least Lucas liked it.
✬ Look at Anatomy Book Jane: I'll never go to a sleepover, without this book. (Jane gets the Anatomy Book on her inventory)
Jane uses the laptop, first image is her "facebook" page
✬ Look at Jane "Facebook" Page Jane: I hate having social media…but at least I can post my work here.
✬ Look at Max "Facebook" Page Jane: Don't be a stalker, Jane…
✬ Look at Newgrounds Page Jane: I have beated Binding of Isacc at least twice.
✬ Look at "Youtube" page Jane: Lucas would love this crap.
= Practicing in the bathroom =
In the bathroom, Jane has the option to practice in preparation for the party in front of the mirror.
Jane: (stroking her chin) "Max, I l-lied to you...actually...l-love you." This sounds pathetic, loser…You must work on your fucking stuttering! (she grumbles) Jane: (putting on a deeper voice) "Actually… I changed my mind…about that day we met. I never l-loved Mike, at all." (slaps her cheeks) This sounds horrible. Stop.
Jane raises her eyebrows multiple times, then shakes her head and groans.
Jane: "Max, at the day I met you, you have been the love of my life…"
Jane slaps her cheeks multiple times, then rubs her hands together.
Jane: "Max, I love you. I love you deeply…" Not bad… At least it sounds less embarassing. = Optional Conversation with Lucas =
Jane has the option of going up to Lucas's door and trying the handle, which refuses to budge, before knocking on the door.
Jane: Dude, come on, can you give me back my stuff? Lucas (from the room, muffled): Why I would? Jane: Because, I want to! Lucas (from the room, muffled): Okay, okay…
He partially opens the door.
Jane: So, what is going on with your costume? Did you are already made up for Halloween? Lucas: Maybe. (chuckles) Lucas: My teacher said that I need to make a big reveal, So don't come in!
✧ Should we call 911? Jane: Oh man! Damn, sounds pretty serious, Should I call an ambulance now, before it's too late? Lucas: (annoyed) Stop it!
Lucas: My costume is not yet done until three days! So I had to pickup your old pallete to make my face paint. You know, those that Mike bring for us as your birthday present! Jane: Yeah, yada, yada, yada. N-no need to tell me that I'm into him. Lucas: I know that you like Max more, you just can't admit it! The way that you look at her, seems that like you opened your heart full of coal. (Jane avoids her glare at Lucas) Lucas: So, you'll be confessing to her?
✧ I'll try… (Canon Choice) Jane: Lucas…you know I'm a wimp. She even said she likes boys more.
Lucas: Ah, c'mon Phoenix, you like her, and she likes you. Well, I'm gonna do my stuff, you shouldn't be whining. (Lucas closes the door) Jane: Yeah, I know. After Lucas shuts the door, Jane strides toward the kitchen, muttering the list of things she has to do to go to Sam's party. Jane can now examine through the cabinet and fridge.
✦ Cabinet
✧ If you take chips Jane (inner monologue): Onion and Sour Cream was my favorite one at the end of the day.
✧ If you take cookies Jane: Cookies is Lucas's big craving, no wonder.
✦ Fridge
✧ If you take soda Jane: I definetly need a sugar rush, at least to talk to Mike.
✧ If you take beer Jane: You only live once, that's my motto.
After Jane picks up food and drink from the list, she can now examine the living room before moving on.
✬ Look at the Playstation 3 Jane: Maybe Mike will like Street Fighter? Max hates it anyway.
✬ Look at the Fireplace Jane: Max always loved a cozy enviroment, even when she's playing her favorite song.
✬ Look at the Headset Jane: Playing online games sucks, specially at night.
✬ Look at DVDs (X-Men and Pokemon) Jane: I dunno what Lucas loves to watch more.. Pokemon, or the X-Men.
✬ Look at Whiteboard Jane: At least is not my turn to make a chore today.
✬ Look at Picture Jane: Uncle used to get so hyped for fishing... I guess I know the reason...
✬ Look at Soda Jane: The best flavor ever!
✬ Look at Beer Jane: My uncle hates when I'm drinking…
✬ Look at Homework Jane: I guess I'm glad that I can help Lucas with math, at least he is improving.
= A Secret Love and a Bloodstain=
Jane (inner monologue): Blankets, blankets, I need blankets!
In the storage room connected to the garage, Jane finds a blanket stored on one of the top shelves.
Jane (inner monologue): At least is warm for the night.
When Jane enters the garage, Enrique is working on the car hood, repairing the engine.
Jane: Uh, Uncle… We need to talk.
Enrique: Hola, Ranger (he says while tightening the motor screw) you finally decided to reconcile with Lucas after the lesson I taught you, eh? (he finally stops and looks at Jane)
Jane: Well, I'm trying my best… Is not easy to pretend to be….well…
Enrique: I know the drill, dealing with this is like a death sentence… what happened to my sobrina… (sigh) is something I'll never forget.
Enrique place a hand on Jane's shoulder.
Enrique: But you gotta have to endure, is not a easy task, but will be important. (a short pause) Have you taken your meds yet? You know you won't be able to go out without hearing her voices, eh?
Jane: Yes, I know. Two capsules a day, I won't forget. (she rolls her eyes) Enrique is standing cross-armed but smirking.
Enrique: Never thought you were more disciplined than... Phoenix.
✧ I am not like her (Canon Choice) Jane: I'm far from being her... Enrique: Yeah... I know. She used to get in more trouble than you. ✧ We're somehow lookalike Jane: Yeah, you're right... We have a lot in common... Enrique: ....Unfortunely. (he goes back to the car's engine.)
Jane: Are you...gonna... tell Lucas the truth?
Enrique: He's not ready yet, it would mess with his damn mind. He's so young at that time, he surely barely remember that he had a sister.
Jane: I guess won't hold this persona back for long. At some point, it'll get out of control. And I wouldn't be fair with her…
Enrique: "Her"? Does it have anything to do with the party?
Jane: N-no! Not at all!
Enrique crossed his arms, frowning.
Enirque: So? Just be honest with me, sobrina.
✧ I want to make her love me. Jane: I love her, I can't lie. I wanted to at least be honest with her, I want her to like me for who I am... not because I'm someone else. Enrique: Do you really trust her enough to take that step? Jane nodded with a smile. Enrique: Let's do this: I'll give you cash so you can buy her a box of chocolates. (he offers 40$ for her) Jane: A box of chocolates? Is that it? (she picks up 40$ added in her inventory) Enrique: Love is something that no fake wig and makeup can force. In the end, you gonna have to tell him. Jane: Okay, Uncle...
Enrique: Just be careful. That's all I'm asking for, okay? I know what kind of crazy shit kids can get into…
✧ How is it a party nowdays? Jane: Did you… used to got to parties before? Enrique: (smirks) We live in quite different times, don't we? But a family always comes from the same spot in different ways. Now get outta here before I change my mind about that cash. And don't forget to say hi to Lucas before you go hook up for your first time.
Jane (inner monologue): No wonder he's still single. He never dated on his life. << Previous Next >>
Chapter One — After School
A school bus is seen stopping and some students are stepping out. One of them is Jane Álton, who is texting. Meanwhile, Maxine Evergreen steps out of the school bus and talks to the other students left on the bus.
Maxine: See you tonight! And don't forget to do the homework! (laughs) Max sees the bus departing as she looks behind, seeing Jane still chatting with Mike.
Maxine: Hey Phoenix, wow you still texting him?
Jane: Hm... I d-dunno, the guy never stops talking.
Maxine: Let me, (Max picks up her cell phone) check it out.
Maxine: "Hey Mike, do you wanna play Street Fighters all night with me?" (looks back at Max) Seriously? He was never into video games! That's nerd talk!
Jane: Oh yeah? and y-you're like all rounded with boys, aren't ya? (Jane frowns, being sarcastic) Maxine: OMG, says the girl who didn't get laid with any handsome guy on school! (she chuckles) Maxine: Here, I'll fix this for you. (takes Sean's phone again)
Jane: If you're so clever... (Jane sighs)
Maxine: I'm saving you from getting a heartbreak, so you can thank me later…
Jane: Careful, p-please don't write any atrocity or I'll be single forever!
Maxine gives back her phone.
Maxine: Voilá.
Jane: (reading text) "I'll be bringing munchies for tonight." (looks at Max) W-what? W-what the hell did you write?
Maxine: At least I saved your ass, gurl. That's all that matters.
Jane: Well… Are you seriously pushing me into this?
Maxine: I don't see the problem for you to go to the party.
Jane: Max, I'm a introvert. I'm not suited to go to a party where everybody's wasted…
Maxine: C'mon girl, you need to live even once in your life. But, you can give up if you want too. Nobody's forcing you.
Sean receives a notification on his phone. Lyla comes closer.
Maxine: Well? Let's not keep him waiting.
Jane: It's my Uncle. Wants to know if I'm coming home after school. (grunts) God, when he'll stop controlling me?…
Maxine: He just cares about you… You should be grateful that your uncle's looking out for ya.
Maxine's phone vibrates. She has received a text.
Maxine: (pulls phone out) Oh, Mike's responding. Saying he can't wait to see us at the sleepover!
Jane: Whoa... really? T-that's great! (smiles)
Maxine: Told you to be more confident of yourself!
Jane: Hmm… So… When is your dad coming over?
Maxine: At 11 PM.
Jane: Hmmm... So he'll get late for tonight, I see…
The two pass in front of Liam Hopkins's house, who is seen holding his phone and sitting on the porch.
Liam: Hey, lovebirds! Back from the loony bin?
Maxine: You 'now what? I missed the part where that's my problem!
Maxine gives him the middle finger.
Maxine: Your neighbor…is an asshole.
Jane: Yeah... what a surprise... w-why he called us lovebirds?
Maxine: He just wants to blackmail us.
The two arrive in front of the Álton house.
The two girls walk across the porch. There is a skull stuck in the basketball hoop and lawn furniture scattered about. They sit on the decking. Jane picks up her backpack, opening to grab her sketchbook with her pen.
Maxine: What are you gonna do? Jane: The m-mood is p-perfect f-for drawing... Maxine: (sigh) Jeez, you need to work out with your stuttering, is getting worse.
Jane: My voice is a bit r-rough today. my throat is b-burning. (says Jane as she starts to sketch the enviroment with her eagle eyes.)
Maxine: Hmm… I need a smoke, at least to prepare myself for today.
Maxine takes out some cigarettes.
Jane: Yeah, I know… My old man doesn't like when I'm smoking…
Maxine: But he is not here, so you can calm yourself down. So… You want a hit or not?
(Canon Choice: Take one.)
Maxine: Yeah, alright. Just for today.
Jane lights up with her free hand for Maxine then herself.
With her cigarretes between her fingers, Jane's sketch starts to take form as she works on the lighting and shading.
Jane: (turns to Maxine) Want me to include you in my masterpieces?
Maxine: Only if you don't mind. (she says with the cigarettes in her lips)
Jane held the pen while her gaze lingered on Maxine, who smiled faintly, trying to remain still so that the other girl could draw her, her sharp scarlet eyes fixed as much on her face as on the paper. She wanted to capture her essence, until the drawing told a story all by itself.
After a while, Maxine couldn't felt her muscles anymore. Maxine: Lemme see the result! (Maxine begged with her pleading eyes) Jane: D-don't move! Is not finished yet! (the girl chuckles)
Maxine: Lemme see! Lemme see! Please?
Jane: Fineeee.... (she gave up and gives Maxine her sketchbook)
Maxine got a bit shocked when see saw her drawing, it was... perfect, almost like a stylized version of herself, but beautifully shaded and sketched.
Maxine: Phoenix... that's... that's amazing! I never realized how much you improved so far. (she widened her eyes)
Jane: R-really?
Maxine: Yeah! I'm really, really mean it. (she chuckles)
Both of the girls exchange gazes, scarlet meeting blue, until Max snaps her fingers in Jane's face.
Maxine: Earth to Phoenix, Earth to Phoenix! Do you copy?
Jane: What? Aaaargh! (she burns herself with the cigarette butt, shaking her hand) Maxine starts to laugh when she sees the girl sucking her finger.
Jane: You're doing this because it wasn't you, huh?
Maxine: Just... don't forget not to smoke in front of Mike… His lungs wouldn't bear any longer. Deal?
Jane: Ugh... Deal.
The teenagers look at the sky, seeing the plane cutting the air with a smoke trail
Maxine: When I think of planes, well.. it gives me shivers. Probably I'll move out again when we graduate. I dunno, I'll need to work myself with my sister beforehand…People change when they go far away. You promise you won't change when I come back?
(Canon Choice: Always be friends.)
Jane: Yeah, gurl. I won't. Maxine: But what happens if I go to another town? Maybe studing engineering in Colorado?
Jane: You heard of the internet? No way distance can tear us apart. We're freakin' fighters!
Maxine: Yeah, you're right…
Maxine: So, My dad will arrive a few hours later, he'll get us in his truck at noon. And, Skype me later when you're ready. (They hug.) Talk to you soon.
Maxine leaves.
Jane: Alright, coming home… Next >>

MAJOR NEWS!!
Episode 2 and 3 OUT NOW!
Dev's Note: Sorry for the varying quality of both chapters. I modded the chapters without a specific order. After the result of chapter 2 (the last video that I rendered from episode 1), I switched to another video editing tool (DaVinci Resolve), which spare more time than expected and has a superior quality.
