Hannah's convertible pulls up to her new school with her behind the wheel. She looks at the school and sighs. She shuts her car off and gets out. She grabs her purse and walks towards the school. She looks up at it.

She starts walking towards the school when her brother walks up to her. She stops and looks at him.

[:*:- * - Hannah - * -:*:]
Patrick?

[:*:- * - Patrick - * -:*:]

That's me.

[:*:- * - Hannah - * -:*:]

God... I haven't seen you since we were like 5.

[:*:- * - Patrick - * -:*:]

Well... when you live on the opposite side of the country... it's understandable.

[:*:- * - Hannah - * -:*:]

How's your mother?

[:*:- * - Patrick - * -:*:]

You havn't seen her yet?

[:*:- * - Hannah - * -:*:]

No... she wasn't home when I got there yesterday.

[:*:- * - Patrick - * -:*:]

Oh. She's fine. I'm very sorry to hear about what happened to your mother?

[:*:- * - Hannah - * -:*:]

yeah well... I don't really want to talk about it.

[:*:- * - Patrick - * -:*:]

Well... dont' you think maybe we should? I mean... you are going to be living with us. You're not used to that. Plus... it must be really hard to lose a parent.

[:*:- * - Hannah - * -:*:]

Patrick... I already lost one the day that dad left me and my mother for you and yours!

[:*:- * - Patrick - * -:*:]

Look... don't blame me fot that. I'm just trying to be a good brother.

[:*:- * - Hannah - * -:*:]

HALF brother.

[:*:- * - Patrick - * -:*:]

Whatever! Look... I just wanted to make sure that you weren't going to be alone here today. Half brother, full brother whatever... we are family you know. Plus... I'm not the reason you have to live here now! How did your mom die anyway Hannah?

[:*:- * - Hannah - * -:*:]

None of your business!

[:*:- * - Patrick - * -:*:]

I'm just trying to be here for you!! Why can't you just let me do that?

[:*:- * - Hannah - * -:*:]

Because I dont' need you! I don't need anyone. I'm by myself in this world now. My mother was the only person I had!! I bet dad didn't even want to take me in. He probably just felt obligated!

[:*:- * - Patrick - * -:*:]

You're crazy if you think that! Dad loves you.

[:*:- * - Hannah - * -:*:]

Let me ask ya something Patrick. Let's say that you were born first. Dad lived with you and your mother. Then... he knocked up some other woman and had a kid with her. That would be me. So... he takes off leaving you and your mother to just survive however you can. You dont' here from him, You don't see him. All of the sudden.. your mother dies. Your best friend and the person you've been closest to your whole life, up and gone. And you're sent to live with the man who deserted you that you're supposed to call daddy Why don't you tell me how You'd feel... Tell me if you'd feel loved then Patrick!

[:*:- * - Patrick - * -:*:]

Hannah I...

[:*:- * - Hannah - * -:*:]

I know that I shouldn't be taken my anger and hostility out on you. You didn't do anything. You were just born I guess. And yeah you're my brother. But the day you were born Patrick, my life went down-hill. And it may not be your fault, but I can't help but to feel the way I do. He chose you. Dad chose you and your mother over me and mine. Now I'm being forced to live with a family that never gave a damn about me while my mother is wripped away from me by the hands of god. Excuse me if I don't want to to come rescue me and step in and play the "brother" role. It's just not happening. I never wanted to come to New York City! I loved Boston. And If I have my way... I'll be back there soon anyways!

[:*:- * - Patrick - * -:*:]

Hannah...

[:*:- * - Hannah - * -:*:]

I'm leaving.

Hannah takes her carkeys out of her purse and puts her sunglasses on.

[:*:- * - Hannah - * -:*:]

I dont' feel ready to start a brand new school today.

Hannah storms away from Patrick leaving him there speechless. She walks towards her car and the scene fades out.
