An Inconsolable Jessica is struggling; to speak coherently on the blackberry and keep her fete on the ground. She stumbles then collapses on the sidewalk. Her friend Amanda who was supporting her, goes down as well.
JESSICA:(wails)
Bring her back to me please. I'm begging you God. PLEASE!
Amanda HELPS Jessica TO HER FEET, WRAP HER ARMS AROUND HER
Amanda:
Are you okay?
JESSICA:
I want to sit. I just want to sit. I told her to be careful....she said she was fine before she left.
Amanda:
she sounded okay when I spoke with her on the phone today. (looks around) There is nowhere to si..Okay, I see somewhere.
WITH Amanda's SUPPORT, Jessica MAKES PAINSTAKING BABY STEPS TOWARDS THE SEAT
JESSICA:
You know she was the hero in my life. I can't explain how much I love her, how much I'm gonna miss her
Amanda:

JESSICA:

Amanda:
