Kelly
I’m sorry I’M SORRY I’M SORRY
Unknown
If you had been sorry, you’d have gotten help that night.
Unknown
You’d have given her family something to bury.
Unknown
You’d have given her CLOSURE instead of giving Violet’s body to the river.
Kelly
I wanted to go back and find her.
Unknown
How long has it been?
Unknown
Two years. You nevesr cared about her.
Kelly
I did. She was the one person I could be myself with.
Kelly
Believe whatever the hell you want, but don’t you dare say I didn’t love my roommate.
Kelly
It was an accident.
Unknown
Maybe you felt bad.
Unknown
Maybe it WAS an accident.
Unknown
And yet you’ve done nothing since then.
Unknown
Nothing to make it right.
Unknown
You moved away and thought you got away with it.
Kelly
I made the worst mistake of my life, but I can’t take it back.
Kelly
I would if I could.
Kelly
Violet’s gone. Nothing you do to me could be worse than that.
Unknown
Turn around. Face the window.
Kelly
I promise, if you leave…
Unknown
You’ll do nothing.
Kelly hears heavy steps descending the stairs.
Unknown
Don’t turn around.
Unknown
Not until I say so.
Unknown
There will be consequences.
Kelly
I won’t! I won’t look at you at all.
Kelly
You can just leave. I won’t say anything to anyone.
Unknown
I know you won’t.
Kelly
I haven’t even seen your face or anything. You were wearing a mask
Kelly
It’s not too late to stop this.
Unknown
I’ve been lenient tonight when you broke rules.
Unknown
You’ve already gotten away with murder. Pun intended.
Unknown
I’ve been watching you, you know.
Unknown
I wanted to see what you’d done with the life you thought was so important.
Unknown
Well, more important than justice for Violet.
Kelly
No one would want to rot in a cell.
Unknown
No one would want to rot in a river.
Unknown
Anyways, I’ve been observing you. Seeing what you’ve been up to.
Kelly
And what have you learned?
Unknown
That some people waste their lives.
Kelly
You think I’m wasting mine?
Unknown
You’re a void. You took Violet’s life, so you should be living for two people.
Unknown
And yet, your existence is shrivelled and meaningless, as best I can see.
Kelly
I try to be a good person and not hurt anyone.
Unknown
Most people do that anyway.
Unknown
And they don’t have a skeleton in their closet.
Unknown
But I’ll come and give you a nice, big pat on the back, if you’d like.
Kelly
No! That’s not what I’m saying.
Unknown
What ARE you saying? I’d like you to tell me why your life isn’t worthless.
Unknown
It doesn’t. Try again.
Unknown
A family that you never see.
Unknown
Violet also had a family.
Unknown
What can you do to make the world a better place?
Unknown
Well? I’ll give you a minute to come up with something.
Unknown
I know this is a stressful situation.
Kelly
What, do you want me to beg for my life? Is that it?
Unknown
An interesting idea, for sure. You never gave Violet that chance.
Kelly
it was an accident!
Unknown
And maybe I believe you. Maybe.
Unknown
But your life since then has been meaningless.
Unknown
Have you turned things around? Used the tragedy to become a better person?
Kelly
Wait, wait – let me think.
Unknown
For a while I thought there had to be a reason for it all to have gone down the way it did.
Unknown
Do you believe in fate?
Kelly
I don’t know what you want me to say!
Unknown
Calm down, you’re getting hysterical.
Unknown
For the longest time I wondered if that night was a catalyst for something bigger than you or Violet.
Unknown
That the universe had made something happen…
Unknown
But sadly, you’ve done nothing to prove my theory.
Kelly
Why wait all this time if you knew all along?
Kelly
Why confront me now and not a week ago? A month? A YEAR.
Kelly
Why wait if you knew where I’ve been this whole time?
Unknown
Why now? Maybe your uselessness disproved my theory, so it was time to step in.
Unknown
Why wait? Maybe I wanted you to think you’d gotten away with it.
Unknown
So I could see the look on your face when I tore your life apart.
Unknown
The same way you tore mine apart.
The footsteps come closer as the two continue texting,
Until the Unknown Caller stops only a few feet behind Kelly.
Unknown
I looked for you for months.
Unknown
I’ve been watching you for over a year.
Unknown
Deciding what justice would look like.
Unknown
I wanted to punish you on the anniversary of that Halloween night.
Unknown
The night you showed your true, evil colors.
Unknown
What if I told you that you didn’t get away with murder?
Unknown
Maybe you only got away with *attempted* murder.
Unknown
DON’T TURN AROUND
Unknown
Think about it. How could I know everything about that night?
Unknown
Maybe there was a reason they never found Violet’s body.
Unknown
Maybe you only knocked her out when you hit her with your car, but you were too panicked to realize she wasn’t dead.
Kelly
But there was so much blood. And I couldn’t find a pulse.
Kelly
My hands were shaking so bad.
Unknown
But maybe the shock of the cold water in the river woke her up.
Kelly
Are you…what are you saying?!
Unknown
DO NOT TURN AROUND
Kelly
Please…what you’re saying…it’s impossible!
Unknown
Would you feel better or worse if you’d actually killed me?
Kelly
If I’d…OMG. It can’t be you.
Unknown
How would you feel if you knew I was alive?
Unknown
DON’T TURN AROUND!
Unknown
DO NOT TURN AROUND
Kelly
Please…what you’re saying…it’s impossible!
Unknown
Would you feel better or worse if you’d actually killed me?
Kelly
If I’d…OMG. It can’t be you.
Unknown
Maybe your snivelling has made me think you’ll suffer more if I let you live.
Unknown
Death would be an escape.
Unknown
But you can’t escape fate.
Unknown
It’s time, Kelly.
Kelly
No. PLEASE no. Maybe I deserve to die, but please don’t. I’ll do anything you want.
Unknown
I want you to turn around.
Unknown
I came here for answers.
Unknown
And maybe a pound of flesh.
Unknown
I’ll know what to do when I look in your eyes.
Standing there is Violet with a very large knife.
Violet looks into Kelly’s eyes.
And then she plunges the knife into Kelly’s chest.
Kelly falls to the ground.
And then Violet picks up Kelly’s cat costume and walks off into the night.
