Baby Blues, 3

Baby Blues - 3

By Charlie

Bron has just finished her break and walks out of the tea room with
Luke. Luke looks down at her as they stand in the doorway.

Luke: You know maybe you should take some time off
Bron: No way, I'm not going to fall to pieces over him
Luke: It looks to me like you already have
Bron: Well I haven't.... not really
Luke: Look if you need to talk...
Bron: Yeah I know.... thanks.

Luke puts his thumb to her face and wipes a few tears away. Paula is
heading towards them.

Luke: your eyes are red
Bron: well they usually are when I cry

Luke quickly takes his hand away as Paula comes up to them.

Paula: Bron I really need to talk to you
Bron: What for? Don't you think you've hurt me enough already? I
don't need you to sick the nife in any deeper.
Luke: Um Bron.... I'll see you later

Luke walks off.

Paula: I'm not trying to hurt you, I just want to talk to you about
Ben
Bron: Look, whatever it is, don't bother. You can have him, I don't
want to be with him if I cant trust him, and besides you have a
ready made family, kids and all, he wont pass that up.

Bron walks away
--------------------------

After Brons shift she's at her locker with Charlotte

Charlotte: Your telling me your just going to give up on Ben then?
Bron: I have to charlotte..... ben and I don't have a future
anymore, he made sure of that when he kept Paula's pregnancy a secret
Charlotte: I don't agree with what he's done, and I'm not taking
sides here bron, but you have to see things from his
perspective..... maybe he was just trying to find the right way or
moment to tell you... maybe he didn't know how to tell you

Bron: well whatever it is I'm not interested.... its too late to go
back now

Charlotte sighs

Charlotte: Do you wanna go to Cougars?
Bron: ummm... yeah, why not?

Charlotte smiles

Charlotte: cool, lets hit the road then babe... oh by the way I'm
coming in your car, mines kicked the bucket

Bron laughes

Bron: ok , come on
------------------------------------

Charlotte and Bron are on the way to Bron's car when Ben comes up to
them

Charlotte: I'll meet you at the car

Charlotte goes and stands by the car while ben and bron start to talk

Ben: Bron, I want to fix things
Bron: It's a bit late for that
Ben: look... I never meant to keep this from you-
Bron: But you did! I'm sorry but I cant forgive you this time Ben
Ben: (yells) Bron please!

Bron starts to walk away. Ben grabs her arm so he can make her
listen. Bron turns to face him. Luke has seen this as he goes to his
car and starts coming towards them

Bron: Let go of me
Ben: (yells) Just hear me out

Luke is behind ben

Luke: Is there a problem Bron?

Ben lets bron go

Bron: No... Ben was just leaving

Ben walks away angrily

Luke: Are you ok?
Bron: Yeah.... and thanks
Luke: its ok

Luke turns and starts to walk to his car and Bron starts heading
towards Charlotte. Bron stops and turns back around to call out to
Luke.

Bron: Hey

Luke turnes to face her

Bron: We're heading to Cougars for a drink, do you wanna come?
Luke: Ah yeah, ok, I'll meet you there.
