&ldquo;I didn&#039;t fall in love with you. I walked into love with you, with my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way. I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe we are only fated to do the things that we&#039;d choose anyway. And I&#039;d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I&#039;d find you and I&#039;d choose you&rdquo; <br /> ― Kiersten White, The Chaos of Stars


SCENE 1
Two lovers holding each other at gunpoint, they’re crying as the shots go off and they fall to the ground. Maniacal laughter can be heard in the background.

Lovers  (Screaming)

(Lights go out and the actors quietly exit
stage)

SCENE 2
Gay Mansion, with the 4 remaining family members being led inside after the parents commit double suicide. The lighting is dark, somber with eerie violins playing quietly. Daughters Emma, Genna, and Julia are crying while son Kyle talks to the detective. The bodies are still covered, surrounded by the Detective, Kyle, and some other officers. The 3 sisters are in the background, closer to the house, crying and hugging.

Detective  I’m sorry about your parents, son.

Kyle   Are you sure it’s suicide? Th-They wouldn’t…

(Tears stream down his face and the detective gives him a supporting pat on the shoulder).

Detective  Sorry, we don’t know yet. We’ll have someone
inside asking you and your sisters some questions soon, okay?

   (Kyle nods and starts to head over to his crying
sisters when the detective grabs his arm).

Detective  Take care of yourself, kid.
 
Kyle   (Nods sadly and walks away, replaced by the crime
scene investigator).

Investigator We found something, sir.
  
(Detective follows investigator’s lead).

SCENE 3
Inside the house the 3 kids are fighting. Kyle gets up to leave

Genna  You can’t just leave, Kyle. You’re always running
from us.

Julia  We need you.

   (Kyle turns to the door, ignoring them).

Emma   Fine, leave, don’t come back. We don’t need you.
Mom and dad never cared about you, why should we?

Kyle   (Runs towards stage left and doesn’t look back)

SCENE 4
Detective stands over two covered up bodies while everyone else is inside, thinking he’s alone he takes off his gloves and lets his hand run over the corpses.

Detective  You were so good for me, you didn’t even
struggle. But look at all this blood, I thought I asked for a clean shoot. Tut, tut.

(He is smiling, pleased. He covers them back up and leaves bodies).

Kyle   (Rushes out of hiding spot to the bodies, falls
to his knees and watches where the detective just left).

Oh, God.

(Lights dim as he stares at his parents bodies).

Scene 5
Set a few days after scene 3, Kyle walks into the detective’s office and locks the door. His turns so his back is against the door and tries to look “cool.”

Detective  Is there anything I can help you with?

Kyle   Maybe…

Detective  (Sighs)

   Well? What is it?

Kyle   There’s this one thing I’ve been wondering… Why
did you do it?

Detective  Do what?

Kyle   (Grins wickedly).

   Oh, you don’t fool me.

Detective  And why’s that?

Kyle   I saw you

Detective  Well, I would hope so, since I’m helping with
the case

Kyle   No, I saw you.

Detective  Oh, you did, did you? And what did you see me
do, exactly?

Kyle   Have some fun.
  
   (Stalks towards the Detective and pushes him onto
a chair).

I promise not to tell, you just have to do me one tiny favor.

Detective  (Sighs and gives Kyle a tired look).

   And what would that be?

Kyle   (Leans in and whispers into his ear).

SCENE 6 
Maniacal laughter can be heard again, but two separate laughs this time. The light lands on the 3 sisters crying as they hold guns out at eachother.

Girls  Please, no, we’re sorry

   (Gunshots and then silence)

BLACKOUT
