Erasing Eden Page #2

Synopsis: When Eden caves into social and familial pressures to marry Chris, she had no idea she was suppressing negative feelings about marriage until the night before her wedding. The last thing Eden remembers is ripping into one of her wedding presents and downing an entire bottle of scotch. Waking up in the desert beaten nearly to death, Eden has no idea how she got there, but is determined to get herself to the wedding on time. With a broken jaw, she is now a mute ward of the lonely underworld of Los Angeles. Pridefully taking this journey alone, she finds kindness in the most unlikely places.

- No.

- It's okay, honey.

What can I do to help you, baby?

- Okay, well, it looks like

we couldn't verify

your insurance,

so we're gonna have

to transfer you.

Need you to sign here and here

that you understand and consent.

All right.

Just go through those doors.

Your clothes have

been put in the Van.

Just go ahead, go

through the doors.

- And I've got some

clothes and hats for you.

Come on.

What are you, come

on, you're okay.

What happened?

Somebody hit you?

They hit you?

Yes they did.

Did this like this.

Didn't give you no

f***ing clothes,

no shoes, where's the

clothes you came in with?

Why are you carrying this

f***ing bag like that?

Hey, if I was you,

I would've already

ripped that sh*t

out, you hear me?

Wait, let me do it.

K, now get rid of this.

This is f***in'

absolutely crazy.

- Do you even know if there were

any accidents

reported last night?

Like maybe on the five,

or in the valley

like off lanker shim,

something like that.

Well, how many people have

been admitted to the er today?

No.

No, I just called this morning.

Dude, can you just make

an exception, please?

Just this once.

Please, she is my fiance, I

need to know if she's o...

Don't, ah, f***!

- Hello, would

you like to leave a message?

- Hey Eden.

This is me.

Eden.

And you made a promise,

and it's a lie.

And if you wanna be happy,

if you wanna be happy,

you know what you have to do.

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

- Please.

I just need...

- Sorry.

I'm sorry.

You can get help.

There's a shelter on Normandy,

and right there near sunset.

- Do you need a ride?

Do you need a ride?

Do you wanna go some place?

Are you okay?

Jesus f***ing Christ, lady.

Why don't you get on?

I'll give you a ride.

You can't just

wander around here.

Where you goin'?

You want a ride?

- Are you gonna get

your brakes fixed?

- You can go on in.

Everybody's welcome.

It's okay.

- My brothers and my sisters.

Give us the strength

and the courage

to make the right choices,

to fight the good

fight in your name.

Can I get an amen?

- Amen.

- Are you tired

of the sufferin'?

- Yeah.

- When I was thirsty,

you gave me drink.

When I was a stranger,

you welcomed me.

When I was naked,

you clothed me.

When I was in prison,

you came to me.

- Yeah.

Amen.

Matthew 25:
35.

You are your actions.

In this life, you

reap what you sow.

For you are the

salt of the earth,

but a salt has lost its taste,

how shall it gain its saltiness?

It's no longer good for anything

other than being

thrown on the ground

and trampled under

people's feet.

So when you compromise yourself,

you open up the door

for other people

to walk all over you.
