White Flag

I: Meeting:

-Six years ago-

*Erin sits in the bar, alone. She just dumped Noel and doesn’t know what she wants now*

*A bartender walks over to her*

Bartender: Need another drink?

*Erin sighs*

Bartender: I’ll take that as a yes. Hang on.

*Erin lowers her head as the bartender turns around to get a bottle from the wall*

Erin: I am so bored.

*She freezes when she hears nervous laughter a few stool down*

Erin: Huh?

*She lifts her head and sees a cute little blonde-haired woman sitting with a man trying to kiss on her*

Woman: Stop it.

*The guy tries to kiss her again*

*Erin lifts her head*

Erin: Yuck! What sleaze ball! Why is she even with him?! *She sneers at the couple*

*The woman and the man get up to leave*

*Intrigued by the cute little blonde, Erin pays her tab and follows the couple out the bar*

II: Bloody End

*Erin follows the trail until she hears screaming*

Erin: What the…?!

*Erin runs down the darkened street to follow the source*

*Comes around the corner and see the blonde-haired woman backing away, trembling*

*The woman’s hands are covered in blood just like her clothes*

Erin: Hey. *Rests her hand on her shoulder* Are you okay? What happened? Hey? Hey?

*The other woman turns to her wide-eyed*

Erin: It’s okay. Come over with me and talk, okay?”

*The blonde woman stares at her*

*Erin puts her arm around her shoulders and walks off*

III: Talking

*The blonde woman sits on the couch in nothing but a towel*

*Erin comes back with a bottle of beer*

Erin: Here, drink up.

Woman: Thank you. *She opens it and takes a drink*

*Erin sits down next to her*

Erin: So… What happened? Were you attacked? Did he try to rape you or something?

*The woman froze, shaking her head*

Woman: No.

Erin: Did you get into a fight?

Woman: No.

*Erin raises an eyebrow*

Erin: Then… what happened?

*The woman swallowed her beer*

Woman: I stabbed him.

Erin: What?

*The woman presses her lips together*

Woman: He tried to kiss me and grab my breasts. I panicked and stabbed thirty-seven times.

*Erin whistles*

Erin: Damn.

*The woman shut her eyes*

Woman: I think he’s dead! I didn’t mean to kill me! It didn’t mean to! I swear! I swear! I swear!

*She breaks down crying*

Erin: *Puts her arm around her shoulders* Shhh, there, there.

*The woman cried on her shoulder*

IV: Habit

*The woman looks up with tears in her eyes*

Woman: I don’t know what’s wrong with me?

Erin: Hm?

Woman: Every time I get close to a man, I end up stabbing them to death.

*She breaks down, shaking*

Woman: I’ve done this about five already. I don’t want to go to prison.

*Erin grabs her by the hands*

*The woman looks up, confused*

Erin: *Smiles, shaking her head* That’s not going to happen.

*The woman’s eyes grow big*

Woman: What?

Erin: We’re going to dispose of the body.

*The woman gasps*

Woman: You’re joking!

Erin: I am serious.

*The woman struggles for something to say*

Woman: Why? Why would you help me like this?

Erin: *Smiles* Why shouldn’t I?

Woman: But I don’t even know your name.

Erin: I’m Erin. And you are?

*The woman smiles*

Woman: Paige.

V: Body Drop

*Erin and Paige hurry out after midnight back to the scene of the crime*

Erin: If we’re lucky enough, he might still be alive or the body’s still there.

Paige: *Trembling* Okay…

*Erin sighs and rolls her eyes*

Erin: Oh come on! Put your big girl panties and do this until you want to go to prison!

*Paige freezes with big eyes*

*Erin sighs again*

Erin: Just come on!

*She grabs Paige by the arm and drags her by the arm*

*They find the man still lying in the alley where Paige left him*

*Erin checks for a pulse*

Erin: He’s gone. *Turns to Paige* Help me load him into the car.

Paige: *Trembling as she nods* Right.

*Both women struggled to pick up the body and shove it into the truck of the car*

VI: Bargain

*Erin drives out of the city with Paige and the dead body*

Erin: Hey, you say that you end up killing guys when they get kill to you, right?

*Paige looks out the window, frowning*

Paige: Yeah.

Erin: Well, what if you went out with me?

*Paige whips around wide-eyed*

Paige: What?!

Erin: You see, I think the problem is you are just scared of men.

Paige: But I’m not gay.

Erin: *Shrugs* You might be and just not know it. Come on, what’s the worst that can happen with me?

Paige: I could kill you.

Erin: We’ll see about that.

*Paige raises an eyebrow*

Paige: Who are you?

*Erin smiles*

Erin: Just Erin Evans.

VII: First Date

-A Few Days Later-

*Erin waits outside of the apartment*

*She looks at her watch*

Erin: Girl, don’t stand me up! I will be so pissed off if you do.

*She looks up when she hears footsteps running towards her*

*Paige stands in front of her, panting*

Paige: I’m sorry I’m late. I couldn’t pick out what to wear.

*Erin smiles*

Erin: It’s okay. *She holds out her hand* You ready to go?

*Paige’s face lights up as she smiles*

Paige: Yes!

*They head out on their date*

VIII: How We Got to Today

-Present Day-

*Paige hugs Erin from behind in bed*

Paige: *Kisses her on the cheek* I love you.

Erin: *Holds onto her hand* Yeah.
