To Save a Life Page #5

- Sure.

- All right. Come on.

Joey! Hey, Michael. Hey, Sarah.

- Can I ask you something?

- Yeah, of course.

- Why do you think he did it?

- Roger?

I've been thinking about that myself.

I mean,

if Roger can just kill himself like that,

- what does that say about life?

- I don't know.

Things like that,

they make you kind of think, don't they?

It's just, like, I've...

I've spent my whole life

trying to be some basketball star,

and, like, what's the point of that?

My dad is successful, but he and my mom,

they're not happy. They hate each other.

You know,

at least Roger's not hurting anymore.

Yeah. Well, maybe life's a little more

than that.

Like what? God?

No, I was gonna say...

You know, I'd love to finish this

conversation, but I think you got company.

Think she saw me?

- We'll talk later.

- All right.

Good luck out there.

Jake, you want to borrow these?

- What is it?

- Just check it out.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Where have you been?

I've called you, like, a bazillion times,

and you don't have the decency

to call me back?

I'm sorry, did I miss the part

where you apologized for stealing my truck?

You've got to be kidding me.

Do you even know

what you put me through?

Say something!

I went to church today.

Yeah?

Yeah, my dad did the whole church thing,

and then he left us.

Amy, I'm not your dad.

Then what is going on?

Okay, you don't go to church.

And who is this guy

that I keep seeing you with?

What do you want me to do?

You want me to apologize

for you stealing my truck?

- Okay, I'm sorry!

- That's all you've got, is an "I'm sorry"?

Amy, it's just not a good time right now.

I've got a lot on my mind.

What? About us?

Is that it?

You make love to me on Saturdays,

and then you confess on Sundays?

- Is that what the new plan's gonna be?

- You don't know what you're talking about.

Well, at least I talk.

- You know the kid that killed himself?

- Yeah.

I knew him.

- It's sad, but seriously, it's not like he...

- Mattered?

No. I was gonna say,

it's not like he was your friend.

We were best friends.

Jake, we've been dating for three years.

I've never even met him.

We grew up together.

Okay. So, a former friend of yours

tries to shoot up the place and kill people

and you feel bad about it?

You've got to let it go, okay?

It's not your fault.

Then whose fault is it?

His. His parents. I don't know. Okay?

But it's not your job to watch over him.

But you can watch over me.

Just... It's a lot to think about.

I know what you're thinking about.

You think there's a God?

Excuse me?

You're acting so weird!

Come on, I'll take you home.

- Can I have my keys?

- No.

Hey there!
