Bethany’s Shocking Call That Broke Her Read More
BETHANY’S BEDROOM — NIGHT
The room is dimly lit. A soft bedside lamp casts long shadows across the walls.
Bethany sits on her bed, scrolling through her phone absently.
Suddenly, UNKNOWN NUMBER flashes on the screen.
1. The Unexpected Call
BETHANY
(muttering)
Who’s calling me at this hour? 🤨
She hesitates… then answers.
BETHANY
Hello?
A pause. Static.
UNKNOWN VOICE
Hi… Bethany. I think you should know something.
Larry bought Sharra a TV. 🎁
Bethany freezes.
Her fingers tighten around the phone. Her breath catches.
BETHANY
(barely audible)
W-what? 😳
UNKNOWN VOICE
Yeah… he picked it out. Wrapped it.
You weren’t supposed to find out this way…
2. The Shattering Truth
Bethany slowly sits on the edge of the bed, her world tilting.
BETHANY
(whispering)
How… how could he do that? 😢
Her hand flies to her mouth.
A tear slips free.
BETHANY
(voice breaking)
It feels like the ground just disappeared beneath me…
Like everything just fell apart. 😭
She curls inward, hugging herself.
The room suddenly feels too small… too tight.
BETHANY
Why didn’t he tell me?
Why her?
Why not me? 😭💔
3. The Burden of Silence
The phone vibrates again.
The call is still active.
Bethany doesn’t answer.
BETHANY
(to herself)
Everything feels broken right now…
I can’t even think straight. 😢
She collapses back onto the bed, clutching her pillow like a lifeline.
BETHANY
(soft scream)
It’s not fair… it’s never fair! 😭💔
The camera slowly pans across the room.
Framed photos of Bethany and Larry — smiling, happy — stare back at her like cruel reminders.
4. Drowning in Heartbreak
BETHANY
(through tears)
I really thought I mattered…
I thought he cared. 😢
She buries her face in the pillow.
Her sobs fade into broken whimpers.
BETHANY
(murmuring)
It’s like the ground is gone…
I don’t know how to stand anymore… 😭
Silence. Only her breathing fills the room.
The lamp flickers.
Bethany slowly sits up, wiping her cheeks — but the pain lingers.
BETHANY
(to the empty room)
I just wanted to be included…
I didn’t want to be left out. 😢
She pulls her knees to her chest, rocking gently.
BETHANY
(sobbing)
I don’t even recognize myself right now…
I don’t know what I’m supposed to feel… 😭💔
5. The Lonely Decision
Time drags. Her cries soften into quiet sniffles.
She stares at her phone — the unknown number still glowing.
BETHANY
(whispering)
Why now?
Why like this? 😢
She places the phone face-down and folds into herself.
The room, once comforting, now feels like a cage.
BETHANY
(exhausted whisper)
I just… can’t.
Not tonight. 😭
The camera slowly pulls back.
Bethany sits alone in the dim light — small, shaken, and heartbroken.
Her sobs fade into the hum of the night.
FADE OUT.
