Elena’s journey episode 9
(At Mr Leon’s house)
(Simon visits Orora)
Orora: What do you want?
Simon: Look, Orora, I’m really sorry about what happened, Rayna just wanted us to get back together but I told her I didn’t want to because I love you
Orora: (looks into his eyes) Are you being sincere?
Simon: Yes, I really love you and I’ve missed you.
Orora: So what are you gonna do about it?
Simon: (He leans forward and k!sses her)
(Orora k!sses him back and loos-en-s her go-wn, and re-moves Simon clothes at the same time, she pushes him on the be-d and they’re engaging in a heated r0m@nç£in no time)
*******************************
(Later that evening)
Mr Gilbert: Orora! Where is Elena? Isn’t she supposed to be at work today.
Orora: How would I know? I’m not in charge of her!
Helen: That was rude (gently hits Orora)….(To Mr Gilbert) Today’s her day off sir.
Mr Gilbert: Ohhhh…Well, I was just asking because I’m used to having her around us.
Orora: Ewwww…Why would someone want to be around her?
Helen: Because she’s a nice person.. That’s why!
Orora: Whatever… I just pray she dies on her way back here! (laughs)
Helen: Orora! That’s a terrible thing to wish on a person.
Orora: I don’t care.
Helen: Ugh. (To Mr Gilbert) I’m going to the grocery sto-re, Is there anything I can get for you, Uncle?
Mr Gilbert: No, I’m fine
*****************************
(Simon goes to a bar)
Simon: (To the bartender) Give me one root beer plea-se
Bartender: Okay, That’ll be $4.99
Simon: Here (He gives him money)
(While he drinks his beer, Orora calls him)
Orora: (on the phone) where are you?
Simon: I’m at Briggs Bar, Any problem?
Orora: (on the phone) Well why didn’t you tell me you were going to a bar, I could have followed you.
Simon: Well its not to late to join me here
Orora: (on the phone) I’m on my way
(When Simon cuts the call, Rayna, who’s in the bar sees him and approaches him)
Rayna: Hey sweetie
Simon: Rayna? What are you doing here?
Rayna: I want you, Simon. I’ve been stalking and following you around since yesterday
Simon: Why?
Rayna: To look for a good opportunity to talk, I love you and I really want you back
Simon: Well that ain’t gonna happen… Ever!
Rayna: It seems like you’ve alre-ady forgotten who I am, if I say I want something, I never st©p trying until I get it!
Simon: fv¢k you.
Rayna: (laughs) I’m gonna go get myself a root beer, I’ll be back.
(Orora arrives at the bar and sees Simon)
Orora: There you are, I’ve been searching different bars looking for you
Simon: I told you I was in Briggs bar
Orora: Four bars in Seattle are named “Briggs”, There’s Bregs, Brigs, Breegs and Briggs.. You should have been specific
Simon: (laughs) I’m sorry dear
Orora: Its fine, I’m gonna order some root beer, I’ll be back
Simon: (he remembers that Rayna is in the bar) Orora wait, let’s go to some other bar.
Orora: Why?
Simon: Because….Um….They’re out of root beer here (he gr-abs her hand)
Orora: (shouts) Simon what’s wrong with you, let go of me!
(Rayna sees them and approaches them)
Rayna: Well, well, well, if it isn’t the spoilt br@t herself! And what would a rich man’s daughter be doing in a bar?
Orora: Rayna? (Looks at Simon) So that’s the reason you wanted us to leave
Simon: Orora, it isn’t what you think, she was stalking me
Orora: (shouts) You’re a liar! a cheater! And a deceiver!
(Rayna sl@ps Orora)
Rayna: How dare you talk to my love like that!
(Orora sl@ps her back, They both set the bar in chaos as they fight each other, they drag their hair, bite themselves and break bottles)
Simon: St©p this!
(Simon and some men in the bar separate them, Simon takes Orora out of the bar, away from Rayna)
Simon: What’s wrong with you? Do you realize how much we’re gonna pay for damages?
Orora: (angry) So you’re taking Rayna’s side?
Simon: Its not about taking sides, You were throwing bottles at her and breaking it and its gonna cost us!
Orora: I don’t care…. Speaking of damages, We’re over!
(She leaves him)
*********************************
(That night)
(Helen leaves the grocery sto-re and goes home, following an alley and she hears footsteps)
Helen: (she looks back) Hello? (She doesn’t see anything) No one’s there, maybe its just some cats
(She hears footsteps again and they’re louder this time, she looks back and sees a hvge and tall figure)
Helen: who’s there?
(A man with a de-ep raspy voice answers)
Man: Hello young lady (He walks fas-ter towards her)
Helen: Oh no, who are you and what do you want?
Man: I want you! (He runs towards her)
(Helen drops her bag of groceries and runs for her dear life and the man chases her, Unfortunately, he catches up to her and pins her down)
Helen: (crying) plea-se don’t hurt me
Man: Shut up
(He re-moves his trou-sers and Helen’s Sk-irt and un-derwear and r@p£s her while pinning her to the floor)
Helen: (screams) Help! Ahhhhh!
(At Mr Leon’s house)
Mr Leon: (thinks) Its almost 9pm and Helen isn’t back yet
(Just then, Helen enters the house, dirty, tattered and runs to her room crying)
Mr Leon: Helen! Helen!
Elena’s journey episode 10
(Days later)
(Mr Leon and Orora knock on Helen’s room door)
Mr Leon: Helen! You’ve been in your room for days, What’s wrong with you?
Helen: (sobs) Just leave me alone!
Mr Leon: HELEN!!!
Helen: (sobs) Go away!
Mr Leon: (enraged) I’m gonna break this door down!
Orora: Dad! No! Don’t do that!
Mr Leon: Why won’t I? She’s been in there for days and has refused to come out.
Orora: Maybe she isn’t re-ady to share with us what happened to her, Give her some time.
(Mr Leon scoffs angrily before leaving the hallway)
****************************
(Vincent goes to Mr Leon’s house)
Elena: (She runs and hvgs him) Vincent!
Vincent: (k!sses her cheeks) I’ve missed you. Mr Elena: (laughs) I can tell
Vincent: I brou-ght you some flowers (He hands over the bouquet of flowers to her)
Elena: (she collects it and sniffs it) Are these daisies?
Vincent: Yea what’s wrong?
Elena: Oh my goodness.. I’m allergic to daisies ( Her face swells up immediately and she screams in pain) Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!
(Mr Gilbert is alerted by the noise)
Mr Gilbert: (He sees Elena’s swollen face) What’s wrong?
Vincent: I brou-ght some flowers to her and immediately she sniffed it, her face got swollen.
Mr Gilbert: Those are daisies right?
Vincent: Yea
Mr Gilbert: I’m allergic to daisies as well… That’s strange… Well, she’s gonna have to skip work today
Elena: (she manages to talk) But what would I tell Mr Leon?
Mr Gilbert: Don’t worry, I’ll handle him (To Vincent) Just take her home.
Vincent: Elena, I’m so sorry, I didn’t know.
Elena: Its ok, it wasn’t your fault…..
(Elena pas-ses out)
******************************
(Orora and Helen talk)
Orora: Helen, I’m your sister, If anything is wrong, Tell me.
Helen: (sobs) Orora….I was R@p£d
Orora: (shocked) By who?… Tell me, I’m gonna go fight the person.
Helen: (sobs) I don’t know, On my way back from the grocery sto-re three days ago, I was ambushed my a hvge man, He to-re my Sk-irt and R@p£d me.
Orora: Did you see his face?
Helen: No, No I didn’t…But I can recognize his voice
Orora: (hvgs her) I’m so sorry
Helen: plea-se Orora, Don’t tell Dad. We both know how he’ll react
Orora: I won’t, I promise.
(Someone knocks at the door)
Orora: I wonder who that is?
Helen: Its Martin, He texted me that he was coming today, But I can’t show my face to him
Orora: Don’t worry, Just remain here, I’ll handle him.
(At the front door)
Orora: Who is it?
Martin: It’s Martin.
(Orora opens the door)
Martin: Orora, Hi! I c@m£ to see Helen
Orora: She isn’t at home
Martin: Where did she go?
Orora: Look, She didn’t tell me.
Martin: Well, When will she be back?
Orora: (rudely) Ugh! Just go and don’t come back till she tells you to come. (She slams the door in his face)
Martin: (thinks) I wonder what’s wrong with Helen… She never goes anywhere without telling me, Something fishy is going on.
****************************
(At Vincent house)
Vincent Mother: (looks at Elena) VINCENT!!!
Vincent: Mom, what’s wrong?
Vincent Mother: Look, she’s waking up
(Elena becomes fully conscious)
Vincent: Elena, I’m really sorry.
Elena: (smiles) It’s ok, You’ve apologized severally.
Vincent: Because what happened to you is my fault… Elena, I’m never gonna let anything bad happen to you again, I love you.
Elena: (smiles) I love you too
(Vincent and Elena k!ss)
Vincent Mother: (watches them) Awwwwnnnnn.
(Next day)
(At Mr Leon’s house)
Mr Leon: How’re you feeling now, Elena?
Elena: I’m better now sir
Mr Leon: My brother told me everything that happened yesterday, I un-derstand.
Elena: Thank you so much sir… (jokingly) I hope you’re not gonna deduct my salary
Mr Leon: I won’t (He leaves)
(A delivery man knocks at the door, Orora goes to open it)
Delivery man: Is there a miss Elena here?
Orora: (points to Elena’s direction) There she is. She’s the fisherwoman.
Elena: Hello
Delivery man: I have a package to deliver to you, from Mr Vincent Manuel… Just sign here (he hands her a paper and a pen)
Orora: Wow! She even knows how to do a signature.. That’s interesting
Elena: (she ignores Orora and signs on the paper) Okay thanks.
(The delivery man leaves)
Elena: Oohhh… Vincent wants to suprise me, I wonder what’s inside (she opens the package and sees flowers inside) Awwnnn, He brou-ght another type of flowers to make up for what happened yesterday, That’s so ro-mantic.
(Mr Gilbert enters the living room before Elena sniffs the flowers)
Mr Gilbert: Elena! Don’t sniff it, Those are daisies!!!
Elena: (she drops the flowers on the floor immediately) Oh my God…(sighs) That was close….
Mr Gilbert: You’re lucky I c@m£ in here on time
Elena: Yes, Thank you very much…. But why would Vincent s£nd me daisies again? Even after what happened yesterday? (Just then, she makes eye contact with Orora who smiles devilishly) Or maybe it wasn’t Vincent that s£nt them
(Elena walks to where Orora is)
Elena: How’d you know I’m allergic to daisies?
Orora: (smiles devilishly) I do my research!
Elena: (shocked) You looked up my medical records?
Orora: Since you refused to quit your job here, I’m gonna make this house a living hell for you, Trust me when I say that.
(Orora leaves)
Elena: Mr Gilbert, what am I gonna do about her?
Mr Gilbert: Well we can’t kill her (he laughs)… Just stand your ground and don’t worry, I’ll always protect you.
Elena: Thank you very much sir, You’ve been very kind to me (she hvgs him)
