Jackass: Chapter

Chapter 1: Where Are We?

The tires screech as the car tries to avoid the oncoming car. News Reporter: “Two couples were killed in a car collision by a drunken driver. It seems like the intoxicated driver lost control of the car and drove across the median and struck the vehicle of Sam and Diana Hams. There were no survivors from this accident.” ~~~ “Where are we?” I asked. “Steven, are mom and dad ok?” Betty asked. “Sit still, we are contacting your relatives, someone will be here soon to pick you up,” said the officer. The door open, “Grandma!” Betty ran and hugged her. “I am so sorry baby,” Glory said as she held Betty closed to her. I walked up to her, “Grandma what happen?” “Your parents were killed in a car accident,” “so they are not coming back,” Betty asked. “No, I am afraid they are not,” tears rolled down my grandmother cheeks as she told me and my sister the news. For days I did not sleep or eat. I started to lose weight which was becoming unhealthy because I became only skin and bones. My life will never be the same again; losing both of my parents at the age of nine and my sister eight. I felt like it became my responsibility to make sure that she was taken care of. Any way that I could get my hands on money, I will do whatever it takes.
It has been nine years since my parents were killed, but for some reason it felt like it was earlier this evening they left us behind with the babysitter as they went out on the town. I spent many nights sitting by my bedroom window, watching every car driving by; hoping that one will pull into the driveway and it will be them getting out of it. I never thought I would ever lose my parents, well not so early in life. I remember my dad telling me that I have to go to college after high school and that he and mom will be there to watch me walk across the stage but that became a lie. Without my parents’ guidance, I lost track of life. I kind of gave up and went the other way.
It is my senior year in high school and I have not applied for any colleges or scholarships; because I am afraid of leaving my sister behind. She is really all that I have left. I have worked a few summer jobs here and there but they were not really good on bringing in money. By time I got paid on Friday, by Monday my check was done. It wasn’t like I was blowing my money on drugs or anything like that; I spent most of it on my sister making sure she had new shoes, clothes and school supplies. My grandmother always fuss when she see me spending my money on my sister, saying that she will provide for our needs. But my Grandmother is sixty-six years old, working underneath the table so she can still collect her social security from the government to pay the bills and buy food for the house. I don’t think it’s fair for her to have to raise my sister and me when she has already raised all of her own kids.
I want the best for Betty; I always encourage her to go above and beyond in everything that she is doing. I make sure she does her school work, projects and I also got her on the cheerleading squad; seeing her smile makes me feel like I am doing my job as a big brother. I took pictures of every A mark that she got on her school work and kept it in my personal photo album. The last picture in the album is one with me and Guy. It’s a goofy picture and no one knows the real story that is behind it; he is my ex. We met when I moved in with my grandmother and ever since then we been best of friends, we did everything together. Some nights I will spend the night at his house or he will stay over at mine; it became a bond that was unbreakable. Where you saw him, you saw me vice verse.
My freshman year in high school on my birthday; he bought me a ring and asked me out. It was the first time he had ever expressed himself to me in that kind of way but I had to admit; I was in love with him. He was the brother I never had; that imaginary friend that came alive. It was the first time I felt loved again, since my parents. We broke up at the end of our junior year, right before summer vacation. He told me, I am not mature enough to be with him and I cannot blame him but I still do love him. I closed the album as I saw a car pull into the driveway; I smiled.

Miguel Fiske: hold on Adrian, let me finish; I wanted to be with you for a very long time and I even did a lot of things that you probably wouldn’t be happy with but

Adrian Thompson: like what kind of things?

Miguel Fiske: let me finish… (Adrian gets silent) Thank you. I am in love with you, Adrian. I fell so hard for you the first day my eyes laid on you and I never want to do anything that will hurt you. I am sorry for my behaviors and the way I was acting before, it’s just that I couldn’t see myself without you after spending all that time trying to get with you and then being with you. You became a part of my life and when you left me, it got so dark and I just had to get my light back. I hope you can understand my feelings and where I stand when it comes to you

{Flashback}

(Adrian is packing things away into a box)

{Flashback}

Charles McKinley: I see that you are not only among the top in your class but you were also very active with your activities as well did internship with Motion Records. Can I ask why did you choose to do intern with them?

Adrian Thompson: I choose Motion Records because after studying their history; I saw that they have talented artist that were not being marketed correctly, so I saw an opportunity to excel as their marketing intern to lead to a promise job lead after college

Charles McKinley: is that position still open for you?

Adrian Thompson: Yes, I am very close most of the Directors and CEOs. I feel like taking that position will limit my full capacity to market on different levels on a global scale. That’s why I choose to come here instead so that I can go to businesses like Motion Records for example and buyout their marketing and take control over multiple accounts.

Charles McKinley: how confident do you feel about a position like this?

Adrian Thompson: very confident, with my determination I will not only strive but I will achieve as well bring this company among the best out there

Adrian Thompson: Yes

Charles McKinely: you are hired

Adrian Thompson: thank you, I will accept the position

{Flashback}

(Adrian looks at his first Holiday party picture with the company)

**
After all of the hard work, it finally pays off in four years. This was my first real opportunity out of college, which gave me my first love that brought along a lot of drama in the end. If all of that could have been minus but still have my son with the love of my life then my life would have been perfect. But it’s time to wake up and realize that no one and nothing is perfect, we all have our flaws but it’s how we deal with them is how we will grow as an person and I am still growing

Kevin Zacland: thanks Adrian (smiling)

Adrian Thompson: a new position, a new office and a new lover, I am thinking about changing my number and erasing away my past

Kevin Zacland: why would you want to do something like that for?

Adrian Thompson: I don't know, maybe it is because that speech Miguel gave me last night, seems like he is seriously for me and only me but as much as I want to fully trust him and really give him my love without hold it back, something is telling me not to let it go yet, to hold on for a little longer

(Adrian gets up and walks to the door to make sure Miguel left, and then turns back around to Kevin)

Adrian Thompson: just as I was thinking about it, he did it; could this mean that we are meant to be together?

(Adrian’s new phone starts to ring)

Adrian Thompson: hello?

~
Dear Vanessa,

I’m sorry and I do not even know where to start. There should have been a lot of things that I should have been up front with you about from the beginning, especially my past. When I was younger, my brother and I were raped by my step father brothers. It turn out that they were sexually abusing Ryan for several months before I found out and try to defend him. Prior to that, I started to notice a different side of Ryan but never in my wildest dream would I have thought that was happening to him. I came home from basketball practice one day while my mom was out of town visiting her ill mother to catch my step father downstairs while his two brothers were upstairs taking turn on Ryan. I rushed into the room and pushed them off him. They weren’t too happy to see stopping their little fun, so they left the room and told our step father what I did. I’m thinking that he would have been more defending on our behalf; he came into the room and punched me in my face. I was in disbelief because the man my mother married is actually aiding the rape. He pin me down and allow his brothers to do me then he finished me off. My mom never made it back from visiting her mother; she died of depression as the doctors called it. Me and Ryan were told that we had to live with our grandmother. My grandmother never cared for us, not once has she ever called to tell us happy holiday or birthday as far as I could remember. So I knew moving in with her would be a living hell, so me and Ryan moved into an apartment and been living there ever since. When you go through something like that and have no one to talk to about it but curl up on your bed every night and cry about it. It took a toll on me and I only could imagine what it has done to Ryan since he had been experiencing it longer then I have. Ryan gave into the lifestyle because he didn’t know any better, while I tried to fight it. When I saw you at the mall, I was like I have found my princess and only if she could kiss me; it will clean me of my past. But the past never went away.

(Vanessa continues to read the remaining of the four page letter)

(After Vanessa finish reading the letter, she throws it into the trash can)

[Scene change to Kevin’s Office]

(Kevin walks into his new office with the secretary following behind him)

Secretary: good morning Mr. Zacland, I place the breakdown of all of Adrian’s old accounts on your desk with all their contact information, you might want to run through them all and inform all the clients that you are Adrian’s replacement. You have a Board of Director’s meeting at ten, lunch with the shareholders at noon, you have meeting with the audit at four, and you have to speak at the School of Business at UCLA at eight. I also forgot the flowers and balloons are from us as congratulation, I will be at my desk if you need me

(Kevin sits down at the desk and sees pile of seventeen pages full with contact information)

Kevin Zacland: this is going to take me a few days to go through them all, did Adrian really stay on top of all of this

(Kevin starts making his call around and e-mail blast)

Christopher Johnson: you know him too

Kevin Zacland: I don’t know him, just saw him a couple of times

Kevin Zacland: you are asking the right questions to the wrong person

Christopher Johnson: something is not right about that guy

Kevin Zacland: when I saw Adrian yesterday, he mention something about changing his number and erasing his past, so I think that it’s time that you let him go

Christopher Johnson: so you are saying that Adrian is happy with him and that there is no future for me and him

Kevin Zacland: pretty much CJ, just let it go; if he wants you he will call you
