SCENE 1

INT. TAYLOR'S ROOM- MORNING

It is around 9:00 and TAYLOR is getting ready for school. He
goes downstairs and has breakfast and says bye to his MUM.
TAYLOR
(moody)
I'm off now.
MUM
What time do you finish, love?
TAYLOR
Er.. dunno. I might wait for Grace
to finish school and she might come
back for dinner is that ok?
MUM
Ok, See you later.
He is walking to school, where he meets GRACE.
GRACE
Morning! Your early for once.
TAYLOR
(sarcastically)
Ha Ha.
GRACE
(Rolls eyes)
Did you end up finishing your
history esssay?
TAYLOR
Oh shit! I completely forgot!
GRACE
I literally told you to do it when
I left yours last night.
TAYLOR
Yeah, I know Grace! I fell asleep
early.
GRACE
What... at 8?
TAYLOR
Yeah... and...
GRACE
Well you can do it in one of your
frees today then.
TAYLOR
I do have common sense Grace.

Grace decides to not say anything this time. They walk the
rest of the way in silence. Taylor holds Graces hand because
he knows he was out of order. She looks up and he is smiling
shyly. Once they get to school, Taylor kisses her on the
cheek and walks to his lesson.
SCENE 2
INT. TAYLOR'S HOUSE - AFTERNOON/EVENING
Grace and Taylor are watching a film in the living room,
meanwhile Taylor's mum, KAREN, comes home from work.
KAREN
Oh, hey Grace! How are you?
GRACE
I'm fine thank you, how are you
doing?
KAREN
I'm alright, are you staying for
dinner?
TAYLOR
I already told you she is staying
for dinner mum?!
Grace looks shocked with how Taylor snapped at his mum.
KAREN
Ok, no need to be stressy about it.
Karen leaves the room to start dinner.
GRACE
That was a bit rude Tay.
TAYLOR
Whatever.
GRACE
What is your issue!
Taylor rolls his eyes.
KAREN
Taylor can you run round the shop
for me and get some gravy please?
TAYLOR
Fine.
Grace follows Taylor in to the kitchen to get the money but
decides to stay inside. Taylor leaves.
KAREN
How have you been? How's school?

GRACE
Yeah, everything's going well. But
I'm a bit worried about Taylor,
have you noticed anything strange
about his behaviour.
KAREN
Oh... umm...
GRACE
Like the way he just spoke to you?
KAREN
It might just be a phase he's going
through.
GRACE
No. This has been happening for
quite a while now
KAREN
er... um... If I tell you
something, do you promise that you
won't say anything to Taylor?
GRACE
(apprenhensive)
Ok. I promise
KAREN
Well... You know Taylor's dad
died...
Grace nods awkwardly.
KAREN
Well... he actually had some mental
problems himself. Which led him to
commit suicide.
Grace shocked face.
KAREN
In the post- mortum, it turned out
that he had schizophrenia.
GRACE
Are you think Taylor might have it,
don't you?
Karen nods. Taylor arrives back into the house.
KAREN
(whispers)
Don't say a word
Taylor walks into the kitchen and kisses his mum and Grace
on the cheek.
TAYLOR

I got the gravy and I even got you

both your favorite chocolate for
pudding.
Grace looks at Karen confused.
KAREN
Aww thanks Tay, you're so sweet.
GRACE
Thank you...
SCENE 3
Grace and Taylor are in his room relaxing after dinner.
GRACE
Did you get that history essay done
in your free period?
TAYLOR
Yeah, it turned out well good
actually.
Taylor kisses Grace on the cheek.
GRACE
Tay can I talk to you about
something please.
TAYLOR
Course you can.
GRACE
I'm worried about you. You keep
acting strangely. One minute your
happy then you get extremely
annoyed at tiny things and its not
like you.
TAYLOR
Oh... I haven't noticed. I'm sorry
if I have upset you.
GRACE
I think you should try and talk to
someone or look it up?
TAYLOR
Umm, ok I will have a look online.
GRACE
Ok, I will leave you too it then. I
will call you later.
TAYLOR
Ok, bye.
Grace leaves.

SCENE 4
Grace and Taylor are on the phone together, Taylor in his
room and Grace in hers. Taylor is on his laptop, just having
a look at schizophrenia.
GRACE
Did you find anything?
TAYLOR
Yeah, it suggested I go to the
doctors so I have booked an
appointment for tomorrow after
school.
GRACE
Oh that's good! I'm really happy
you're doing something about it,
thank you for listening to me. Did
you want me to come with you?
TAYLOR
No! Umm... I'd rather just go
alone.
GRACE
(Taken back)
Oh ok. Well let me know how it
goes.
TAYLOR
Yeah I will, see you tomorrow.
GRACE
Ok bye love you.
TAYLOR
(rapid speech)
Ok bye.

SCENE 7
Grace and Taylor are on the phone again.

GRACE
Have you been to the doctors?
TAYLOR
I'm getting medication.
GRACE
Oh that was quick, what medication
is it?
TAYLOR
I don't want to talk about it

Grace. I'm tired, I'm going to bed

now.
GRACE
Wait, are we still going to
Brighton tomorrow?
TAYLOR
Yeah, meet me at mine at 9. I'm
going to bed now, bye.
GRACE
Ok night.
SCENE 8
Grace is walking to Taylor's house. She is calling him to
make sure he is awake, but gets not answer so leaves a
voicemail.
GRACE
Ok Taylor I rang you at 8.30 and
you didn't answer. It's 9 now, I'm
nearly at yours, you better be
awake when I get there.
Grace approaches Taylor's house and see's the front door
open.
GRACE
(Mutters)
Oh shit.
Grace slowly approaches the door and calls out for Taylor.
GRACE
TAYLOR! You there?
Grace suddenly gets dragged into the cupboard.
GRACE
(muffled scream)
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
TAYLOR
Shhh. There's someone in the house.
GRACE
(looking puzzled)
What?
TAYLOR
Can't you hear them?
The scene changes from colour to black and white to indicate
we have changed POV.
Through Taylor's POV we hear a noise from upstairs.
We then go back to colour.

GRACE
No...?
TAYLOR
Did you hear the smash?
GRACE
(Realises that Taylor is'nt
well.)
Ok, theres no one here Taylor.
TAYLOR
(Looks around manically)
Grace there is!
GRACE
Ok... I will go upstairs and look
around and get the phone to ring
the police.
Grace leaves the cupboard and begins to go upstairs.
TAYLOR
(looks scared and apprehensive
to go upstairs but doesn't
want Grace to go alone.)
Wait grace I'm coming.
Grace is already upstairs when Taylor goes to get a weapon.
The screen goes black and white again (Taylors POV).
We hear another noise. Then Taylor goes up the stairs.
He looks to the bathroom and see's the light on so assumes
Grace is in there. He goes in to the living room and sees
someone standing by his TV. He then attacks them.
TAYLOR
Grace! It's ok, I have him! You can
come out the toilet.
There is no reply so Taylor goes to get her from the toilet
but there is no one there. He begins to search for Grace
throughout the house but cant find her and becomes extremly
confused. He then goes to get the phone and moves in to the
living room.
He looks towards the body and sees long red hair.
TAYLOR
(puzzuled)
Grace?
