Synopsis - Draft One
Daniel is 17 years old.
On the year anniversary of his father’s death, Daniel is confronted with feelings of anger and regret. Daniel is seen walking into a cemetery. He leans down, and places a white Lily down next to a tombstone. He looks down, and sees a card saying how his father had been missed since his death. He looks sad, but angry at the same time. Daniel returns home, puts his key in the front door, to see that a bouquet of flowers had been left at the foot of the stairs, alongside a picture of Daniel and his father. He takes his keys out of his pocket, and throws them at the frame. Throwing the bouquet down the stairs, he storms up to his room, and puts his headphones on. He lays there, silent. He wakes up, awoken by his phone vibrating. His girlfriend is texting, asking where he is, and if he was still coming out. He looks back down at the phone, and quickly taps back, “Sorry, I’m not in the mood now”. He drops the phone back down into place, and lays back down. The phone vibrates only seconds later, with a short and abrupt text on-screen, “If you don’t want to be with me, then Fine.”. He takes the headphones off, and sits upright. He looks at his door, and sees a large duffel bag on the door. He stands up and puts the duffel bag onto his bed, looking straight down int the bottom. He then pulls his wardrobe open, and then starts frantically pulling clothes out of assorted drawers and hangers. He zips the bag up, and grabs a notepad out of his drawer. He scribbles down a note in frantic handwriting, “I’m sorry”. He blu tacks the note to the glass of the door, and then leaves, slamming the door behind him. He starts to walk, and jumps on the nearest bus that he can, staying on to most of the journey. He gets off the bus, and looks up at a block of flats. He opens the door, and moves towards the roof of the building, dumping his bag at the top of the stairwell, and approaching the roof. He dangles his feet over the edge, and looks off into the distance.
