SILENT CRY

Love Shouldn’t Hurt

Voiceover

Lizzie sitting on the bed whilst the voice over is going on. Every time there is a voiceover,  the shot where lizzie is on the bed shows in the fram

‘I need him’, is what I always say, sounds cliché to some, but it is real with me! I am an orphan, I am alone, and who else can I turn to?

I’d watch him leave as he  goes to do what ever it is he does and leaves me to cover the bruises of the damage he did, I would  put on make up to cover up the cracks, some may not be visible but inside I can see and feel them. I hid up in this facade called make up it makes me feel like a normal beautiful woman.

We were once happy, in love and content with each other. We would stay up and watch movies all night long…. That s just how our relationship was, no big fuss… just us.

ACTION: Whilst the voiceover is playing Camille and Carnell are watching TV together

Voiceover: What changed? What demon entered him? He isn’t the same guy he said he was. Was I foolish then? Or just an easy target for him?

Voiceover: I’d staying bed all day hoping and praying the next day doesn’t come back, I’m tired of being the woman he wants to sleep with but doesn’t want to be with. Once he walks out the door I feel like a whole weight has been lifted off… I finally feel like I can breath, but the second he walks back in, the facade is over!

Voiceover: I love him and I don’t want to lose him. This is why even with everything being so bad I still try my best with him. Where would I go, who would I turn to?

Voiceover: Sometimes he would come home and everything is fine.

Then he just switches from good Carnell to monstrous Carnell.

Fade to black

ACTION: Camille opens the door for him and they embrace in a hug. CAMILLE breaks that embrace as she felt naturally to do so.

They walk to the kitchen

Voiceover: I would make him food; the Carnell I knew would eat the food and offer me some, but now? He acts like the food I’ve made him is poisonous. Rather him eating it, he would throw it back in my face…literally.

ACTION:

Camille gives him is food.

CARNELL: (Silence) (He stands up from the table holding his food and throws it at CAMILLE)

CAMILLE: (Shouts in pain)

Voiceover: Sometimes when I think of the things he’s done… I just sit and cr.

Fade to black

ACTION

CARNELL:  walks into the house to find Camille sleeping on the couch.

He has a disgusted look on his face and without hesitation he slaps Camille awake.

Camille wakes immediately

Voice over:

Yes it’s that serious. He does that all the time. I hardly sleep when he’s home because of the fear I live in, I walk on egg shells around him. This is why I try to get as much sleep as I can during the day when he’s not home.

Enough is enough; I need to go otherwise I will die. I’d rather die in peace than in pain.

ACTION: Camille packs a bag the night before and the next day when Carnell goes to work, Camille waits an hour

Voiceover: I’ve planned everything; I will leave when he goes out, I have my bag packed and ready from yesterday. I am escaping. I woke up done everything the same, but as soon as he walks through that door I’m waiting an hour then I’m leaving never to come back.

1hour later

Voiceover: With Adrenaline rushing through me, I got the confidence to leave. When I got my back and everything I felt I needed I took my chance and left. I left because if I didn’t he would kill me one day, I am a woman with willpower! Enough is Enough.

ACTION: Camille walks out the house without a second glance.

Voiceover:

Opportunity doesn’t come and find a person, the person has to create it themselves

 CREATE them! SEEK HELP AND ADVICE PLEASE!
