Derealised

A young woman of about 20 and her boyfriend of the same age are lying down in a park looking up at the sky and enjoying the summers day and the clear blue sky. They are smoking and flirting with each others hands. The woman is sitting on the top deck of a nigh bus on her way home, she looks distressed and very pale. She gets off the bus and walks down the main road to her flat. She is staggering as if she is drunk and hallucinating. When she gets to the flat she shuts the door and leans against it and takes a breath. She continues into the bathroom where she turns on the tap of the bath and begins to undress. She sits in the bath in the dark curled up with her knees hugged into her body. Once she is out of the bath she picks up her clothes from the floor and her footprints are seen of her wet feet walking into the kitchen where she crams the clothes into the washing machine. She pours herself a glass of vodka and sits at the kitchen table looking at her phone as if she is waiting for a call. She moves around the flat, freaking out and looking tearful and on edge. Finally her phone rings and she begins to freak out and scream down the phone and hyperventilate. She goes into her bedroom and gets into bed. She begins to have flashbacks to a scene of her boyfriend who is dead. She hears police sirens. She cant get to sleep. There is a ring at the doorbell. She goes to answer the door and is completely shocked when she sees her boyfriend at the door with the shopping. Whilst she trips out he comes towards her and tries to calm her down. It ends with them sitting on the floor by the front door with her breaking down in his arms.
