Scene Twelve - Bonnie is questioned

SCENE TWELVE: BONNIE IS QUESTIONED BY LEIGHTON
Bonnie and Leighton are walking on the footpath unaware they are walking towards each other. They both walk past one another and Leighton becomes very anxious, he grabs Bonnie's arm to talk.

LEIGHTON: Bonnie, please.

BONNIE: What? Leighton. (shrugs him off)

LEIGHTON: Why are we doing this? I don't understand how this has ended up so... bad.

BONNIE: I don't know Leighton, you tell me! Go on... Tell me.

LEIGHTON: Bonnie! Just stop this PLEASE! Why do you keep doing this?

BONNIE: Stop what! Tell me what I need to stop Leighton, say it.

LEIGHTON: Look... I'm sorry. I... Have... Have you told anyone about it?

BONNIE: What... No... Of course not. I'm not that bad am I?

LEIGHTON: Well.. You are....

BONNIE: Leighton. You don't want to be around me at the moment, all I do is cause trouble and I don't want you to get caught up in it. Alright.

LEIGHTON: What sort of trouble? When has trouble ever stopped me being your friend (laughs) It can't be that bad surely.

BONNIE: Just stay away from me for now... Please.

LEIGHTON: No Bonnie. We were best friends. You are my best friend. I can't just sit by and leave you to it. I'm here for...

BONNIE: Leighton! Right... (coughs)... Listen... Umm... I'm... (stutters) sorry about what's...

LEIGHTON: Sorry... (shocked) Sorry, just never known you to say sorry... Bonnie? This isn't like you... Are you okay?

BONNIE: Yes I'm fine, just a little under the weather... gosh Leighton you don't have to look at me like that its only the common sickness.

LEIGHTON: You're just so... empty. You don't seem yourself, not in the slightest. You could be at death's door and you'd still be kicking up a ruckus or causing mischief. Something else is wrong Bonnie... you can tell me Bonnie...

BONNIE: Anyway. (walks over to Leighton and hugs him) I'm sorry. We can be friends just leave me to it.

LEIGHTON: I'm always here for you Bonnie, remember that.
