The Miracle Season Page #5

---

I'm supposed to call

people to tell them,

but my hands

are shaking so badly.

And tell me

some things last

Take a heart

and take a hand

Like an ocean

takes the dirty sand

And heal, heal

Heal, heal

And take my mind

and take my pain

Like an empty bottle

takes the rain

That's her brother and sister?

Yeah. They got in last night.

And tell me

some things last

And tell me

some things last

Oh, guys, look who showed.

I'm sorry.

And tell me

some things last

And tell me

some things last

Here, no,

help me get these off.

Come on now, don't overdo it.

It's our

baby's wake, Ernie.

I am walking in there

on my own two feet.

Thank you.

Take my mind

and take my pain

Like an empty bottle

takes the rain

And heal, heal

(WHISPERS)

No matter what,

we'll be together.

No matter what.

(PHONE RINGING)

KELLEY (ON THE PHONE):

Hey, any news?

GIRL:

Yeah, all bad.

Mrs. Found passed away

in her sleep last night.

PRINCIPAL:
Good morning, students.

Uh...

I'd like to do a little

something different today.

I'd like to have

a moment of silence,

in honor of senior

Caroline Found,

who we lost

in a tragic accident.

Grief counseling will be available

in the guidance office,

so please, please take

advantage of it at any time.

Door's always open...

(CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

(SOBBING)

Unless the girls come to you

and want to play...

They can barely brush

their teeth in the morning.

- They're not gonna come...

- Then it's too soon.

Brez...

You gotta think about

their mental health.

I'm holding practice

tomorrow afternoon at 3:45.

You want to shut me down?

You know where I'll be.

I should've stayed

where I was

Didn't follow the plan

Run, run, run,

this is my only chance

Run, run, run,

I'm finally losing it

Run, run, run, run,

say goodbye to this

Run, run, run, run,

I ain't coming back

I ain't coming back

Japanese eat like this.

Like to lay it all out.

Get a look at the whole

lunch landscape.

What are you doing, Coach?

My alarm went off

this morning.

Like it always does. 5:59.

Rolled right back over.

Didn't want to get out of bed.

Then I heard this annoying

voice in my head.

Caroline's voice.

"Do work today, son!"

(CHUCKLES)

With everything going

on in her life,

she played volleyball.

I think we need

to play volleyball.

Now?

Now.

- Why me?

- You're her best friend.

Girls are looking at you to see

if it's okay to play again.

Please, don't put this

on me, Brez.

Sorry. I just did.

(WRAPPERS RUSTLING)

We're talking. Every night.

So pick up your phone.

Get going.

Don't miss your flight.

We love you.

- Love you too.

- We'll see you soon. Bye, Dad.
