Introduction: Lee is a young man who has been affected by the struggle of losing a best friend in a car accident. This was able to bring out a different side of Lee that the audience hadn’t seen before. Prior to the accident he was a happy, sarcastic and loyal character but he changed when he lost his best friend. He became angry, depressed, abusive and isolated himself from anyone and everything that is outside his home. He struggled with the realisation of losing Maz and believing he should have been the one that was killed.
[Looking down to the ground] Can we visit Maz too?
[Lola nods with a smile]
[Slowly walks towards the door…….]

At a complete halt, like all the seconds, minutes and hours in the world have just disappeared and there is nothing left.
[Turns to Lola; now facing the camera]
Lola I can’t do this, I can’t just walk out and pretend like nothing has happened. He’s gone, we can’t bring him back, and we can’t just forget him.
She tells me it’s not and will never be my fault, but it is, I was driving with him, I could have stopped him, why did we drift and speed.

It doesn’t make me want to punch the shit out of the wall, or throw the table across the room. It makes me realise that was a part of Maz, which was a part of everyone. Comments that shouldn’t be said but still come out of your twisted mouth. It made me realise Maz isn’t perfect, but since when was I?
And he was my best friend after all, I loved him…
[Long pause]
I loved us.
It was then I smile, a little smirk appears from the corner of my mouth and for the first time since the accident I feel happy and at peace. Not because he wasn’t with me, but because deep down he was and will always be.
[Looks at picture of Maz - Long pause]
I find apart of him in Lola and the way she acts and looks. Her eyes the same blue like the ocean, I felt I could drown in them but also swim forever.
I know that if I have her help me, I will be okay. After everything she’s been through, she’s still there for me. It’s like if I fell off a bridge she would be on the bottom waiting to catch me. I love her and I can do this with
