OUR LIVES: SEASON TWO
EPISODE 1: THE PAST

4 YEARS AGO

“Welcome students to Trendor High. I am your principal Mrs. Wellz. I plan on having this school year be the best. We will be getting new computers in and the gymnasium will be fixed with a weight room for everyone. So as we get ready to kick off this school year let’s all remember to CARE.” She spoke on that stage and stared out at all those kids in that auditorium. She put the microphone on the stand and she walked off the stage. Brian Martinez looked around at everyone and he was scared. He was not use to being in such a big environment. He was always home schooled. That year his mother decided that Brian needed to be around other kids his age. So there Brian stood at the door to his first period class. He wanted to just turn around and run but he couldn’t. So he turned the knob and entered.

Present day

“Please people we need you all to back up from the door. Please have a seat and wait.” The doctor yelled. The doctor pushed the door shut on them. There Carl, Amanda, Liam, David, Theresa, Jordan and Kimberly all stood. Brian’s life was hanging in the balance.
“This is wrong all wrong.” Amanda told Jordan. They had been through this not too long before with Theresa. Now here they all were again in the same boat.
“He will be okay Amanda.”
“All I wanted was for people to have fun. I wanted everyone to come together.” Amanda sat down on the chair. Jordan looked down at her. He sat down beside her and held her close.

Kimberly leaned against a wall away from everyone else.
“Are you okay?” Liam asked her. She looked at him. Tears in her eyes she nodded yes. “If you need to talk I’m here to listen.” Liam took her hand and looked in her eyes. “I promise I’m here.” He let her hand go and he walked away. There she stood watching him walk away.

David and Carl made their way outside. They both needed some fresh air.
“I hate fucking hospitals. The smell gets to me.” David said.
“Yeah man me too. I don’t know why they smell so funny. It’s like they like for use to know we’re in a hospital. Like all the sick patients don’t remind us.” Carl leaned against the wall of the hospital. Thought of his mother floated through his head. But he quickly pushed them aside for he was there for Brian. David knelt down and began to cry.
“He’ll be okay man. Brian is a fighter.” Carl knelt down beside David he put his arms around him and hugged him.


4 YEARS AGO

“Well hello class I am Mr. Worth and I will be teaching you math. I hope that you all pay attention cause there will be a quiz tomorrow.” The whole class sighed except for Brian. There he just sat watching all these kids be mad about a quiz. Sitting next to him was Theresa. She looked over at Brian.
“Excuse me I hate to bother you but do you have an extra pencil?” Theresa waited for a response from Brian. Brian reached in his book bag and he pulled out a pencil.
“Here you go.” He handed it to her.
“Hey thanks. By the way my name is Theresa.
“I’m Brian.” They both smiled at each other.
After class Brian made his way to his locker. He stood there for a moment watching the other kids laugh with each other. He felt so out of place there. He felt like everyone there was staring at him whenever he walked by them. Just then Theresa walked over to him.
“Hey there, Brian is it?” He nodded. “I wanted to thank you for the pencil.” She handed it back to Brian. He smiled at her and took the pencil.
“So what is your next class?” Theresa asked him. He took his schedule out his back pocket and looked.
“I have English right now in room 310.” Theresa smiled.
“Well I guess we have another class together. How bout we go there together.” Theresa looked at him. He looked scared to her. Like if the world was going to open up and suck him in.
“Sure.” Brian agreed to go with her to their next class. They walked down the hall together talking the whole way.

PRESENT DAY

The hospital was dark and gloomy. Not literally but that was the way they felt. The whole idea of Brian dying was plaguing all their minds. Liam sat next to Kimberly and talked to her.
“Brian loves you and love that strong will make someone fight when in a situation like this.” Liam insured her over and over that Brian would be all right.
“Thank you for your support Liam but I don’t really need it from you. I have my friends here with me.” She got up from the chair and walked over to Theresa who was sitting next to David holding hands.
“I need to take a walk. Would you mind coming with me Theresa?” Kimberly looked back at Liam who stood there crying.
“Go ahead honey I’ll be okay here.” David told her. Theresa got up from the chair.
“Let’s go take that walk.”

“For the time being we need to just all stick together.” Amanda told Carl. Carl was sipping some soda. “Brian will need us after he recovers from this. We need not judge him either for what he did.” Amanda was starting to preach.
“Of course not we are his friends. We would never judge him. My only thing is that he was doing really well in those meetings. He would tell me about them. I want to know what made him have a relapse like this.” Carl took another sip of his soda.
“I don’t know Carl. That does not matter right now all that matters is that we stick by him.” Carl nodded as he agreed with her.

“There is something up with Liam. He is over there crying his ass off as if he has known Brian for years.” Kimberly told Theresa. Theresa stared at her.
“Well it doesn’t matter if he knew him for years or for months they have connected on a level that we can’t connect with Brian. They are helping each other through their problems.”
“Well Liam ain’t doing such a good job. Look at what happened tonight.”
“Whoa Kimberly. I think Liam is a cool guy. Brian is not going to get over his problems in a month. This is going to take time. This is why he needs Liam right now as much as he needs us. Only Liam knows what Brian is going through, not us. So chill out and let Liam cry.” Theresa told her. Kimberly stared at her as of she was wrong. Her nose stuck up and her mouth twisted Theresa could tell that Kimberly did not want to hear what she was telling her. Just then Theresa’s phone rang. She looked at the screen and didn’t recognize the number. She sent it straight to voicemail.
“I guess you’re right Theresa. I’m going to go back now. Thank you.” She hugged Theresa and made her way back to the others. A beep came through on Theresa’s phone. She noticed that she had a voice message. She dialed her voicemail and listened to the message.

“Hey there Monica this is Kenneth. We met at the party tonight. That was some party. All that excitement got me going. I hope to see you soon and show you what I’m working with. Call me back. LATER.” Theresa stood there with a confused face.
“Who the hell is Monica?”

4 YEARS AGO

“That class was extra boring.” Theresa and Brian walked together again after class.
“I love English. It is my favorite subject in school. Well at my home.”
“What you mean at your home?” Brian looked at her.
“I was home schooled. I never have been in an actual school building before. This is all so new to me.” Now Theresa knew why Brian looked scared.
“You have nothing to worry about Brian. School is cool and boring at the same time. I’ll introduce you to some of my friends. They go here as well. We have all been together since Junior High school.” Brian was intrigued to meet other people. He wanted to be liked and have friends that he can go to the movies with all just chills with.
“Thank you Theresa.” Brian smiled a big smile cause he knew that he would like this whole school thing after all.

PRESENT DAY

“So how you doing Liam?” Carl asked him. Liam stood by the soda machine all by himself. He felt that the others did not want him there.
“I’m doing okay. How are you?” Carl placed a dollar bill into the machine and pushed for a Pepsi.
“I’m doing okay too. This is too much to handle. We never had anything like this happen to us since we all been friends.” Carl took the soda and popped it open. He took a sip while the whole time not taking his eyes off of Liam.
“I’m sorry for everything. I never had friendships like you all do. It is amazing that you all stick by each other no matter what.” Liam stared back at Carl.
“Yeah it is great. I remember the first day we met Brian too. It was cool…” As Carl talked they heard David call for them to come over. Carl and Liam made their way back to the group.
“Doctor what is going on? Tell us.” Kimberly said as she held onto Amanda and Theresa. The doctor looked at them all standing there.
“I have some good news and some bad news.” They all looked at him.
“Give us the bad news first doc.”
“Well it was a long night and it is past midnight so Merry Christmas to you all. The bad news is that Brian will have to spend his Christmas here in this hospital. The good news is that he is okay and awake.” Kimberly hugged Theresa and Amanda and tears fell down her face. David and Carl hugged as well. Theresa made her way over to David and she kissed him. Jordan took Amanda by the hand and pulled her to him. He held her gently.
“Can we go in and see him doc?” Kimberly asked.
“Sure I don’t see any reason why not.” They all walked past the doctor to the door. Kimberly put her hand on the doorknob and turned it.

4 YEARS AGO

Theresa and Brian made their way to the lunchroom. Theresa promised to introduce Brian to her friends and that was what she was going to do. They entered and Brian once again witnessed all the kids together laughing. He heard some sharing summer stories with each other.
“Theresa you hoe over here.” A guy’s voice rang out loud. Theresa looked over at a table and she saw her friends. Brian followed his hands sweating and all. Theresa made her way over to the guy who called out to her and hit him on the back of his head.
“Ow you whore.” David said.
“Listen you dumb ass go talk to your girlfriend like that.” Theresa sat down. Brian stood up staring at them. Looking nervous and frightened. Theresa looked at him.
“Have a seat. Don’t be scared.” Brian took a seat next to Theresa. Theresa smiled at him. “Brian these are my friends. This is David, Carl, and Amanda.” Brian waved at them.
“Hello Brian.” They greeted him.
“So Theresa how was your summer?” Amanda asked her.
“She was being a slut.” David said and laughed. Theresa threw a French frie at him.
“Listen you stupid jerk. Go look in the mirror and take that big ass bogey out your nose.” David put his hand over his face.
“You lying. Carl do I have anything there?” Carl looked.
“Yeah my dude you do.”
“You lying too. Hey Brian do I have anything?” David put his head up. Brian felt weird about looking up someone’s nose.
“Yeah you actually do.” Brian told him. David took his finger and took it out.
“Ill David you are fucking nasty.” Amanda told him.
“David has no shame in what he does or say. You’ll get use to that.” Theresa told Brian.
“Well David tell us about yourself.” Amanda told him.
“Yeah Brian start with why you like Theresa enough to hang with her.” David and everybody else laughed including Brian.
“Well first off she likes me.” Brian said and they all laughed again.
“I’m going to like him.” David said.
“Well my name is Brian as you know. I was always home schooled so all of this is kind of scary to me.” Brian informed them.
“So where are all your friends?”
“I don’t really have any. I never really go out that much to have friends.”
“Well enough said we need to induct you into our group.” David told him.
“Yeah first we have to cut your hand and we all have to suck your blood.” Carl told him.
“Great, scare him more jackass. He’s only playing Brian. What we do is pinkie swear to all look out for each other no matter what the situation may be.” Theresa said. Brian looked at them as they all put their pinkies together.
“So you in man?” David asked him. Brian was excited. He put his pinkie with theirs.
“From this moment on nothing will break this friendship. We will have each other’s backs. Even though Theresa always got someone at her back.” David said and again they all laughed. They pulled away and they all sat there conversing again. Brian smiled as they all shared stories from their summers.

PRESENT DAY

“Hey there guys.” Brian said. Kimberly looked at him and he looked so sick. She began to cry again.
“Baby come here.” Brian told her. She made her way to him. She stood by him.
“Don’t cry honey I’m okay now.” He took her hand. He stared at all of them standing there staring at him. Never did he ever think that this would happen, People that really cared about him, ones that are spending Christmas with him in a hospital.
“Merry Christmas Brian.” Brian smiled.
“Same to you guys. Look at us all here again. Can you guys come over here?” Brian asked them. They all made their way to him. He put his pinkie out.
“Let’s all do it again. The promise.” They all looked at him. Amanda and Theresa’s eyes got watery. Carl and David smiled at each other. They all put their pinkies together again.
“From this moment on nothing will break this friendship. We will have each other’s backs only difference is that this time I am in back of Theresa.” David said and they all laughed. They pulled away and they all started to converse about the night.
