The Vanishing Page #4

No secrets!

I knew I could never

make you understand.

Who are you?

You tell me the truth!

Did you know what you were

doing when you went...

from crying to waking up in a

sweat from dreaming about her?

Mentioning her less and taking

her picture off the night table...

and putting mine there?

Dancing on the balcony?

Was the whole thing planned

just to throw me off?

- I didn't wanna lose you!

- You're still in love with her!

I'm in love with you.

What are you saying?

I may not be as smart as you,

but I'm not a dumb b*tch.

- Look at this room!

- No pictures except for the posters!

No mementos, just this!

I love you, Rita!

I cracked the code, Jeff.

I saw the book.

You're a liar.

I tried not to come.

I almost went back home...

but if I did, I'd just

pack up and go.

Why didn't you?

Because I don't know

how not to fight.

Nobody in my family ever

fought for anything.

They wound up on Prozac

and sleeping all day...

or dead from liver disease at 35.

That's not gonna happen

to me, Jeff. I fight!

It's not her, Rita.

It hasn't been for a very long time.

Then what is it?

It's it. It's not knowing.

You know what I do?

I pretend I have a choice.

Either to let her go on

living wherever she is...

and never know what happened...

or she can be dead, and I

get to find out everything.

So I let her die.

I swear to God, I wish she were dead.

You don't know what

it is like to not know.

Sh*t.

I'm sorry. But I don't

know what to do.

I do.

I haven't been to the

gas station since.

I sent the manager posters.

He put them up.

I never went back myself.

Then it's time you did.

Come on.

Till death do us part.

She's gone, Jeff. Gone.

You may never find out how or why.

You have to accept that.

If Diane were here right now...

I'd ask you to marry me.

It's you I love, I swear.

But if it were possible

to choose right now...

I'd rather be back

at this gas station...

so I'd find out what happened.

It's not good enough.

If you ever wanna move

on with your life...

if you wanna be just alive again...

then this is your last chance.

I love you...

but you must decide to

be with me, or I'm gone.

Let her go, Jeff.

Let her go.

Diane.

"Meet me alone...

at the yacht club."

Hey.

Read it.

Go on. Come on.

He's watching me. I can feel it.

My fear was that he was dead.

But there are things in this

letter only he could know.

Jeff, he's seen your

picture in the paper.

He wants to see how far you'll go.

He's loving this.

No, look. He signed it. Barney.

- You think that's his real name?

- That's not the point.

You're right.

The point is, what am I doing here?

It's never gonna change.

It'll just go on until
