Me Without You Page #2

Synopsis: Growing up in the 1970s on the Isle of Wight, Holly and Marina make a childhood pact to be friends forever. For the troubled, unpredictable Marina, with her seemingly glamorous father and her Valium-addicted mother, Holly stays the only constant in a life of divorcing parents, experimental drugs and fashionable self-destruction. Meanwhile, Holly buries herself in books out of feelings of frustration with her over-protective mother and a nagging insecurity around her beautiful and possessive best friend. She holds just one secret from Marina, her increasing passion for Marina's brother Nat. As the years roll by, the girls experience everything life has to offer, sex, love, loss and rock 'n roll. But eventually for Holly, a friendship which has never been equal gradually begins to feel like a trap.

Do you want to look straight?

You'll embarrass Nat.

I don't know what I'll do

if Mick Jones speaks to me.

Oh, my God. Mick Jones!

One more thing. Come here.

-What?

-Love bites.

-No. Get off.

-You've got to look experienced.

Come on.

-Okay.

-Right, do me. Come on. Do me.

All right.

You've got to suck, not just bite.

Come on. Do it again.

Ready? All right. Suck. Suck.

Suck. Suck.

There you go.

-That looks good.

-ls it good?

My God, I am gonna do

absolutely everything.

Come on, Holly. Hurry up.

Is Nat in? I need to tell him something.

Jesus.

-What are you doing here?

-Hi, Nat.

Sweet. Yeah, they can play. Yeah?

Do you wanna play, girls?

-Maybe.

-Maybe?

Is this the party?

Yeah. Thanks.

So...

...what are we playing?

Well, bye, children.

-You going out?

-We're not Siamese twins, Nat.

See you later.

I f***ed these Siamese twins once.

F***ing strange man, I'll tell you.

-Anyone for tennis?

-It's heroin.

I know what it is, for God's sake.

Here.

Everything. Remember?

-No, no! God, Marina, you can't.

-Bye, children.

Marina, don't.

Hello, little Holly.

Where are your spikes?

Inside me.

That was amazing.

You've got to try living sometime, Holly.

Oh, I'm gonna be sick again.

Don't worry.

She'll be puking for hours.

I made an altar for you.

-No.

-Come on. Don't be scared.

Don't be scared.

Come on.

What's the matter?

F*** off.

-Blimey.

-Sorry.

What happened?

What do you think f***ing happened?

Not Craig.

-God, are you all right?

-Holly, piss off. All right? Just piss off.

Did you have a nice time

f***ing my brother?

You know, you really shouldn't bother.

He's totally obsessed with Carolyn.

Didn't you see his face when she left?

He probably thought that you were her.

You know what it's like when

you're stoned. You want to have sex.

It doesn't matter who it's with.

Well, at least I tried heroin.

I can't describe it. It was great.

Well, don't f***ing bother then.

-You really should have tried it.

-I didn't.

-Just stop going on about it.

-Fine.

Did you have a nice time at Marina's?

What did you do?

Nothing much,

just hard drugs and casual sex.

Yes, of course.

Well, lunch won't be very long.

-Don't bother to knock.

-Don't bother to stop crashing parties.

-Where are you going?

-Greece with Carol.

All right. Bye then.

Could you give this to Holly?

-What is it?

-Nothing.

Christmas card.

I said, bye then.

Take care of yourself, okay?

Dear Holly:

I wanted to say that what happened

last night was beautiful...

...though, a case of bad timing.

And who knows what might happen

in the future.

Love from your confused

and wretched friend, Nat.

If God had meant us to do gardening,
