M- Yes I can young lady and don’t you dare shout at me like that! You are going to stay here and look for universities!

B-Why? So you can throw me out quicker!

M-Becky! Why would you say something like that!

B-Because its true, ever since Shannon showed up, its been “Go out! Get out! Get over it! Grow up!”

M(Talking over her)- Now, that’s enough of that! She’s been nothing but nice to you!

B-Nice! Nice! That’s rich, that’s so rich.

The Next Day

Mark wakes (shot of alarm clock), he goes down stairs, turns on the kettle and prepares a tea, he checks the front door, its locked, he goes up stairs to Becky’s room and she’s not there. He grabs his phone and calls one of Becky’s friends.

M- Hello Molly, it’s Becky’s dad, did she stay round your house last night? I cant remember who’s house she is at!

Molly- Oh Hello Mr. Howard, no she didn’t, I just saw her in town though, if you were looking for her.

M- Ah right that’s fine, no, just wondering were she was, thanks.

Molly- Okay, well by-

(He hangs up quickly)

He Grabs his coat and gets into his car. Multiple shots of the car and him driving are shown in a montage. He gets out and scans the streets, rushing past people. Shots of the levels of the shopping centre, shots of him looking around. He goes up and down the levels on the escalator. He stops suddenly as he is Becky across, on the other side of the shopping centre; with a boy he’s never seen before. Becky and the mysterious boy and Mark follows them; when he realises they are heading for the station. They cross a road but he misses the crossing and loses sight of them, he runs to the station onto the platform.

The boy gets on the train and looks at Becky.

Boy- Well? Are you getting on?

(She looks down, unsure)

Boy- Becky! Just get on!

(She looks at him.)

Mark panics as the train moves away, tears come to his eyes as he sees Becky standing on the platform opposite. They meet each other on the bridge, Mark running, Becky rushing. The stop in front of each other and pause for a moment before hugging.
