True Love
The Night It Broke
🌧️ [11:47 PM — Abandoned Road]
Ava Rose
Oliver…?
Why did you call me here… so late?
Ava Rose
You’re scaring me.
Say something.
Oliver Hayes
You shouldn’t have come.
Ava Rose
(smiles faintly)
You called me. Of course I came.
🌧️ [Thunder rolls. Wind gets colder]
Ava Rose
What’s wrong?
You’ve been avoiding me all day…
Oliver Hayes
Ava… just go back.
Ava Rose
No. Not until you tell me what happened.
(Oliver steps back. His hands tremble.)
Ava Rose
(softly)
Did someone say something to you?
Your parents…?
Oliver Hayes
(Flash — harsh voices echo in Oliver’s mind)
👉 “If you don’t do it, we will.”
👉 “This ends tonight.”
Oliver Hayes
(shuts eyes)
Stop…
Ava Rose
(confused)
Oliver…?
Oliver Hayes
Don’t come closer.
Ava Rose
(takes a step forward anyway)
Why…?
I’m not afraid of you.
Oliver Hayes
(voice breaks)
You should be.
Ava Rose
What do you mean…?
Oliver Hayes
(whispers)
I’m not the person you think I am.
Ava Rose
(teary smile)
Then tell me who you are…
I’ll still stay.
(Long silence. Rain gets heavier.) 🌧️
Oliver Hayes
(voice shaking)
I tried… Ava.
I really tried to protect you.
Ava Rose
(frowns)
Protect me from what?
(Oliver slowly raises his hand…)
Ava Rose
(steps back, heart racing)
Oliver…?
What are you doing…?
Oliver Hayes
(eyes filled with tears)
I’m sorry…
Ava Rose
(tears fall)
No…
No, you’re not…
(A sudden movement — Ava gasps — and falls)
🌧️ [Rain hits the ground harder — mixing with blood]
Oliver Hayes
(panicking)
Ava…?
Ava, look at me!
Ava Rose
(weak, barely breathing)
You… chose me…
Oliver Hayes
(crying)
I didn’t have a choice…
Ava Rose
(faint smile, broken)
You always did…
(Her hand slips from his grasp…)
Oliver Hayes
(shouting)
AVA!!!
🌑 [Silence. Only rain remains.]
Guilt
🌑 [2:13 AM — Oliver’s Room]
Oliver Hayes
…
(He sits on the floor, drenched… hands still shaking.)
Oliver Hayes
(whispers)
I didn’t…
I didn’t mean to…
(Flash — Ava falling… her last words echo)
👉 “You always had a choice…”
Oliver Hayes
(shuts ears)
Stop… please stop…
Victoria (Oliver's Mother)
Oliver. Breakfast.
Alexander (Oliver's Father)
You did what was necessary
Oliver Hayes
(looks up, eyes red)
Necessary…?
Alexander (Oliver's Father)
She was our enemy’s daughter.
This was bound to happen.
Oliver Hayes
(voice cracks)
She wasn’t an enemy…
Victoria (Oliver's Mother)
She was a weakness.
And weaknesses destroy families.
(Silence. Oliver clenches his fists.)
Oliver Hayes
(standing in the rain again)
…
Oliver Hayes
(softly)
Ava…
Oliver Hayes
(He kneels where she fell.)
Oliver Hayes
If I could go back…
I would choose you.
Unknown person
She’s waking up.
(Ava lies on a bed, injured… breathing weakly.)
Ava Rose
(faint whisper)
…Oliver…
(Her eyes slowly open…) 👀
(Flash — Oliver attacking her) ⚡
Ava Rose
(breathing fast)
No…
(Tears roll down her face… but her expression changes)
Ava Rose
(voice low, broken… but cold)
You…
The Awakening
🌑 [Unknown Location — Dimly Lit Room]
(Soft beeping of machines… silence surrounds everything)
Ava Rose
(weak whisper)
…where… am I…?
(Her eyes slowly open… vision blurred)
Unknown person
She’s awake.
Ava Rose
(breathing uneven)
Who… are you…?
Women
Relax. You’re safe now.
(Flash — rain pouring… Oliver’s face… the attack) ⚡
(Her fingers tighten around the bedsheet)
Ava Rose
(tears forming)
He…
Ava Rose
(Her voice trembles… breaks)
“He tried to kill me…”
Women
You were found on the roadside… barely alive.
A little later… and you wouldn’t have survived.
(Ava stares blankly… processing)
(Her expression begins to change…)
Pain…
Confusion…
And then… something darker
Ava Rose
(soft, broken)
I loved him…
(A long pause… heavy silence)
Ava Rose
(cold, steady)
And he killed me.
(Ava tries to sit up… still weak, but determined)
Women
You shouldn’t move so much.
Ava Rose
(low voice)
I don’t have time to be weak.
Women
Then what do you have time for?
(Ava looks out the window… distant, calm)
Ava Rose
(a faint, dangerous smile)
The same thing he did to me…
Ava Rose
“I’ll break him.”
🌑 [Montage — Time Passing]
Days pass… wounds begin to heal… but only outside
Her eyes slowly lose their innocence
Silence replaces her words
Pain turns into strength
“She didn’t die that night…
something inside her did.”
