A lil bit on the dark side

Heres something I was working on today... do tell me what you think... btw the plots not mine... its courtesy of Amir... I just wrote the story...

Exterior College, Afternoon.

Darren
What? Nadia, you’re leaving me?

Nadia
I’m sorry Darren. Its just not working out.

Darren
Why are you leaving us?

Nadia
Us?

Darren
Me. I meant me.

Nadia
Its not that I don’t love you any more. It’s just that you’re different now. I thought I knew you. But you keep changing in front of my eyes. I can’t keep track of who you are anymore. Its too tiring.

Nadia touches Darren’s face and Darren flinches away

Nadia
See. You never used to be like that. You won’t even let me touch you now.

Darren
It’s not like that. I’m… I’m just having some problems.

Nadia
You never talk about your problems with me. We’ve been drifting this past few months. You’re lying to yourself if you don’t admit that. We went through our own problems alone. Alone. We kept too much from each other.

Darren
You’ve made up your mind? After all these years, you’re just going to leave me?

Nadia
I’m sorry.

Raises voice till he is shouting.

Darren:
Sorry? Sorry isn’t good enough. We won’t accept that.

Nadia
Darren you’re scaring me.

Darren takes a deep breath and calms down.

Darren:
Go. Just go. I don’t want to talk about this any more. I don’t want to see you. It’s pointless. Just go.

Nadia
I’m sorry Darren.

Darren
Just leave Nadia.

Nadia leaves and Darren is shown holding his head in frustration and as if in pain.

Interior College, Afternoon.

Jason
Darren, did something happen between you and Nadia?

Darren
We broke up last week.

Jason
What happened? You guys have been together for years!

Darren
It’s complicated. I don’t really want to talk about it.

Jason
Okay. But she’s hanging out with this jerk now. He’s nothing but trouble. I’m just worried Nadia will get hurt.

Darren
Who?

Jason
Ben Wong. You know the triad? He’s all sorts of trouble. If you still care about her you’ll talk to her. But that’s up to you.


Darren
We’ve broken up. She can hang around whoever she wants to. It’s none of my business any more.

Jason
Don’t lie to yourself. Look at you. You’re trembling.

Darren’s fingers are curled into a fist and he is trembling violently.

Darren
I’ll think about it.

Exterior corridor, evening.

Nadia is shown holding hands with Ben. Darren appears from the edge of the
corridor.

Darren
Nadia. I need to talk to you.

Ben
You’re Darren aren’t you. Nadia’s told me about you.

Darren
Nothing good I’m sure. I need to talk to her. Do you mind?

Ben laughs.

Nadia
Is something wrong Darren?

Ben
You don’t have to talk to this dude Nadia. You’re broken up after all. You’re with me now.

Darren
Why you basta….

Nadia
Go on ahead Ben. I’ll catch up with you.

Ben stares at Darren and kisses Nadia in front of Darren.

Ben
I’ve marked you. You’re mine. Don’t be too long now.

Darren scowls as Ben leaves.

Darren
It didn’t take you too long to get over me now did it?

Nadia
Don’t say that. It’s not true. Ben’s been there for me all this while. While I was struggling to keep things working between us.

Darren
He’s a triad. He’s nothing but trouble.

Nadia
You just haven’t seen the softer side of him. He’s a good man.

Darren
Better than me?

Nadia
That’s not the point. He’s different from you. And I needed a change.

Darren
What’s so wrong with me you needed a change?

Nadia
Please Darren. Let’s not talk about that. What is it you wanted to talk about? If it’s about Ben, I know what I’m doing. You don’t have to worry. He really cares about me. And that’s all I have to say on the topic.

Darren begins trembling.

Darren
You’re being stubborn.

Nadia
Some things don’t change I guess. I’m sorry.

Darren
We’re sorry too.

Interior College, afternoon.



Jason
Darren! You’ve gotta do something! Nadia’s been missing for three days. Her parents are frantic with worry. They’ve made a police report and everything.

Darren
Missing? How could she be missing?

Jason
I don’t know. It must have something to do with Ben. Something’s not right. Nadia wouldn’t just disappear just like that. Something’s happened! You have to do something!

Darren
What can I do? I’m just as lost as you are.

Jason
You’re her boyfriend. You were supposed to protect her. I told you Ben was bad news. But you didn’t want to believe me. Now she’s missing.

Darren
Enough. I’ll think of something. Now leave me alone.

Jason
I just hope she’s okay.

Interior Classroom, afternoon

Ben walks to his table to find a note. He opens and reads it.

Darren VO
Nadia’s missing. I know it’s you. Meet me at the corridor we met at four days ago if you want to prove your innocence. Otherwise, I’m going to the police. Be there. 9pm.

Ben speaks his thoughts aloud.

Ben
Crazy bastard. I can’t get the police involved. I’m in enough trouble as it is. I’ll fix him.

Exterior corridor, Night.

Ben is pacing nervously up and down the corridor. Darren appears.

Ben
You’re late.

Darren
And you’re guilty.

Ben
I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Darren
Where is Nadia you bastard?

Ben
I don’t know. Even if I did know, why the hell would I tell you?

Darren
I’ll go to the police.

Ben
You have no proof. No evidence. Who’s going to believe a freak like you?

Darren
I’ll find proof.

Ben
Till you do, we have nothing to talk about.

Ben turns around to leave. Darren raises a hidden baton and hits Ben on the neck.

Whisper
Good boys don’t do bad things.

Darren
Too late for that now. I’ll MAKE you talk.

Darren drags the unconscious Ben into his car.

Interior college Room

Ben is firmly tied up to a chair. He is covered with cuts and whip marks.

Darren
Are you going to talk or not?


Ben
I told you. I don’t know where she is.

Darren
You liar! TELL ME WHERE SHE IS!

Ben
You crazy bastard. Let me go!

Whisper
Good boys don’t do bad things.

Darren
Shut up! He’s left us no choice. Are you going to talk or not?

Ben
I’ve told you a million times. I don’t know anything! Just let me go.

Whisper
Good boys don’t do bad things.

Darren
SHUT UP! You leave me no choice then.

Darren brings pliers and holds on to Ben’s big toenail. Then, he pulls it off. Ben screams in pain.

Darren
Talk you bastard. Where have you put her? What did you do to her?

Ben
Let me go…. Please let me go… I don’t know anything…

Darren pulls another toenail out. Ben screams again.

Darren
You pathetic liar. Tell me where she is!

Ben
Please… please… please…

Darren
Talk or I’ll kill you…

Whisper
Good boys don’t do bad things…. Good boys don’t do bad things…

Ben
Please don’t kill me! I don’t KNOW! I REALLY DON’T KNOW!

Darren begins to talk to a mirror image of himself.

Darren
Maybe he really doesn’t know where she is. Maybe I should let him go

Whisper
Bad boys don’t do good things… Its too late now…

Darren
No its not!

Darren
Kill him. He killed Nadia. Kill him.

Darren
I should set him free.

Whisper
Bad boys don’t do good things… Bad boys don’t do good things…

Darren
I’m not a bad boy…

Darren
He stole her from us. He stole her. TOOK HER AWAY… Stole our love. Destroyed everything. Crushed our hopes. Made us this way.

Darren
Good boys don’t do bad things… good boys don’t do bad things…

Darren
HE TOOK HER. KILL him… KILL him…He stole her! He took her! Kill him… KILL HIM!

Darren screams and slashes Ben’s throat open.

Whisper
Good boys don’t do bad things…

Whisper
Bad boys don’t do good things…

Darren falls to the floor holding his head and screaming…

Flashback, Exterior Corridor

Darren
We’re sorry too.

Darren covers Nadia’s face with a piece of cloth. Nadia struggles for a while, then fall unconscious. Darren carries her to his car and puts her in there.

Darren
We took her. It was us. Why?

Darren
She was leaving us. For that cheap triad. After all we’ve done for her. She left.

Darren
We’ve got to find her!

Interior, Darren’s apartment, evening

Nadia is tied up on Darren’s bed.

Nadia
Darren! Let me go! What are you trying to do? What’s wrong with
you?

Darren
He is dead. We killed him. You are ours now.

Nadia
Who’s dead? Darren what have you done?

Darren
We did it for you… You won’t leave us now…

Nadia
You killed Ben? Oh my god… Darren you need help…


Darren
She knows too much…

Darren
Shut up… shut up….

Darren
She knows too much… we must kill her…

Darren
No… We love her… We’ll let her go…

Whisper
Bad boys don’t do good things…

Whisper
Good boys don’t do bad things…

Darren raises a knife.

Darren
We must kill her!

Darren
We love her! We rather kill ourselves…

Whisper
Bad boys don’t do good things… bad boys don’t do good things…

Whisper
Good boys don’t do bad things… good boys don’t do bad things…

The whispers become faster and faster… Darren screams and raises the knife and flashes it down…

A song from the past

Oohooh ooh oohooh ooh...
C'mon!

I don't wanna go another day
So I'm telling you, exactly what is on my mind
Seems like everybody is breaking up
And throwing their love away
But I know I got a good thing right here
That's why I say (Hey)

Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick wit u forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u

I don't wanna go another day
So I'm telling you, exactly what is on my mind
See the way we ride, in our private lives
Ain't nobody gettin' in between
I want you to know that, you're the only one for me (one for me)
(When I say)

Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick wit u forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u (nobody)
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u

And now, ain't nothing else I could need
And now, I'm singing 'cause you're so, so into me
I got you, we'll be making love endlessly
I'm with you (baby I'm with you)
Baby you're with me (baby you're with me, higher)

So don't cha worry about
People hanging around
They ain't bringing us down
I know you, and you know me
And that's all that counts (hey)
So don't cha worry about
People hanging around
They ain't bringing us down
I know you, and you know me
And that's, that's why I say (Hey)

Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick wit u forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u (come on)
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u

Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick wit u forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u

what 20 cans of beer can do to you

I hold the phone close to me
till the screen turns black
and your number disappears

I wanna call so badly
the urge almost takes me over
but I keep it in check

I've drunk too much
Is that why I want to call
I wonder... I ponder

I need to hear your voice
I need to hear you speak
Say anything... anything at all

Its been too long
and I hurt so much
it been a year
so much has happened

so much I want to tell you
so much I want to say
but the words
all fade away

I'll speak in rhyme
once again
Pretend that you
didn't leave a stain

I'll brave on
like you never cared
like I never kissed you
like I never dared

I'll pretend
that we never hugged
the beers
that I never chugged

like you never said
that you love me
or the love
we'd grow like a tree

I'll pretend you never
said you love me
I'll pretend you never
said you love me

cause it hurts too much
not to think otherwise
cause I love you
no matter how unwise

Chinese Series, Movies and my life

Been busy these few weeks... we had our premiere for all our videos that we shot during the semester... oddly didn't really feel satisfied with the final results... especially my final movie... it sucked... that what I think any ways... it didn't live up to the script... classical case of the book was better than the movie... damn frustrating...

We just finished a debate which we won on thursdays... that was fun...they said i was nervous cause my hands were shaking but I wasn't... its the medication, alcohol and ciggies that made my hand shake... I was completely calm... so that sucked...

I'm on semi holidays now... most of my classes are over... we had a couple of exams... one mid semester which I finished in 20 minutes and a finals which I finished in 15 minutes... I wonder if thats a good sign or a bad sign... oh well.. will find out soon enough... my results are out for the midsem next week... hope I did well...

I'm just waiting for my other final exams to come... so I've been doing what all students do during study break... CHILLING OUT! Lol... been watching lots of chinese series shows with my mom...quite the addictive these shows...

been in a pensive mood of late... holidays always get me down... theres nothing to do and it gives me too much time to think about things... which is why I can't wait to start work... just a year and a bit to wait... Patience is a virtue... I'll just have to keep my grades up till then...

thats me for now... later peeps

Fixed the labels

took me a while... but I've labelled every single post in this blog... all 161 of them.... reading through them... there were really good times... and some sad times... this blog's been with me more than a year now... its a slice of my life...

some posts were painful to read again... not because they were sad... but because they were happy... irony? I guess so...

Its more than a year and a half since we met... nine months since we broke up... in the short time we were together... I was honestly happy... Maybe it was fated for me to lose your number in that car accident... Funny... I used to call your number every night and I can't remember it any more... maybe its at the back of my mind... far far behind... some place safe...

Would you turn away
If I saw you walk by
Would I say something
Even manage a 'Hi'

What would you do
What would I do
If ever
I bumped into you

Would I hold you close
Your heart next to mine
Is there any love left
for me to find?

Exams

I'm finally done with my video... well... was actually done a few days back... it is a whooping 7gig in size... crazy... not really happy with it to be honest... I think Blur Witch was much better...

oh well... I have a debate to get ready for and a final exam to study for... am in no mood for it to be honest... when am I ever in the mood to study!

My mid semester was a disaster... I forgot two main points for one of the questions that I studied so hard for... heck I was done in like 15 minutes... *sigh*

oh well... thats all from me for now... to lazy to blog...

oh... and heres an idea for my new movie...

The story begins with a person who used to be a Siamese twin, James, looking for his other halve who was separated at when they were very young. They were born conjoined but when they were successfully separated, they were adopted by different parents.

So he posts fliers and posters all around looking for his twin. Ian sees the posters and bumps into Jonathan who looks exactly like James. So he brings Jonathan to meet James. Jonathan also happens to be an orphan. They get along fine. And hang out a lot together, asking Ian to keep the company so that it’s not so awkward and more fun. So Ian agrees and hangs out with them.

The twins get along famously well. Although James is more sickly than Jonathan, they have a lot of fun and do a lot of things together. Ian gets along with James very well as well. At times they say the same thing at the same time or have the same likes and dislikes.

This goes on for a week or so, when Jonathan comes back. He is visibly upset. He managed to persuade the orphanage to release his birth details. He tells James that there is no way that they could be twins because he checked his birth record and he was born as a single child.

James is crushed. Jonathan says he wishes to remain friends and leaves. James then goes to his drawer and pulls out half a shirt. It is the shirt he used to share with his twin. Ian realizes something and rushes home telling James he has something to do.

Ian returns home to find that he has the exact same shirt. The other half in fact. He thinks back of his life in the orphanage. The different foster parents he went through. Then he thinks about James and his rich family. He becomes bitter and burns the shirt.
