House at the End of the Street Page #3

---

around me anyways.

That, and why do I still live

in the house my parents got killed in?

Yeah, why do you still live in the house

your parents got killed in?

(CHUCKLES)

My family sent me away

when I was seven.

That house was really

all I had left of them.

But actually living there,

it's been too hard.

I'm fixing it up

and I'm going to sell it.

I heard you singing this morning.

You can hear me

all the way from your house?

(LAUGHS) It was nice.

You in, like, a band or something?

I was, back in Chicago.

My dad was in a rock band.

You got anything good?

Still using cassettes.

(LAUGHS)

Dude, we got to get you

some new music.

Yeah.

I used to have one of these.

Yeah, that was my dad's.

So was this car.

So are you and your mom

in Woodshire to stay?

I hope so.

It's so quiet here.

Not like where I used to live.

It's even quieter at dawn.

Dawn? What are you doing up that early?

I Sit Out back and I Write Stuff.

Like stories. it's easy.

I don't know, it's like...

it's like at that time of the day,

because everyone is still asleep,

all the best thoughts

haven't been taken yet.

(PHONE RING-S)

It's my mom. I better go.

Thank you, for driving me.

Yeah, you're welcome.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Did Tyler's mom give you a ride home?

No. Actually, Ryan Jacobson did.

Ryan Jacobson?

How did Ryan Jacobson give you a ride?

No one wanted to give me a ride,

so I started to walk,

he saw me and gave me a ride.

Why didn't you call me?

I would have come to get you.

- (SCREAMING)

- Carrie Anne, stop it!

Stop! Please, Carrie Anne, stop it!

- OW!

- (SCREAMING)

Stop it, Carrie Anne! Stop, please!

(GROWLING)

-Ah! God!

Sh... sh...

Sh... Its OK.

It's OK. It's OK.

Why do you do this all the time,

Carrie Anne?

Don't I look after you?

Listen, we have a new neighbor, OK?

Her name is Elissa.

Her and her mom just moved

into the Reeds' house.

And I want you to leave her alone,

you understand me?

Yeah.

B*tch.

GIRL:
Hey.

Elissa, right?

-Yeah.

- Hi. I'm Jillian.

. Hey-

- Um.--

- Thanks for tucking me in yesterday.

- Anytime.

I'm not much of a drinker

and I got sick

all over Caitlin's bath towels

and she threw a fit.

Who are these people,

why are you friends with them?

I don't know. I mean...

I used to go out with Tyler,

but he's kind of a dick.

He's worse than a dick.

He's a dick-hole.

Dick-hole is the new a**hole.

- Hm.

- Oh, hey. Jake.

Elissa, this is my brother Jake

and his best friend, Robbie.

You guys, this is Elissa.

Yeah, I've been wanting to meet you.

You were in a band.

- How did you know...

- Oh. Google.

Nothing is sacred anymore, right?

Everything's online.

Anyway, we have

the Battle of the Bands coming up.
