Nothing is easy.
[Kelly walks back into her locker room with a sullen look on her face, brushing the loose strands of hair from her face as she walks in and flips the light switch, she grabs the bottom of her shirt, a pink shirt with white longer sleeves coming from under the shorter sleeves, and pulls it up over her head and tosses it into the floor at her side, still silent. She heads over to the mirror where she looks at herself, in her bra, in the full length mirror on the wall.]
Kelly: Is this the part where I’m supposed to talk to the mirror like Crystal or Kyle? Just start talking and magically come to grips with everything that has been going on in my life like a magic ****ing fairy tale?
[Kelly looks at the image staring back at her and wipes away the small streaks of liquid that have taken the eye makeup from around her eyes and smeared it down her cheeks and as she does catches the glimpse of the tattoo on her right wrist, the heart with Adam’s name inside of it and shakes her head sadly.]
Kelly: I wish things were that easy...
[The door to her room slowly pushes open and Kelly spins around putting her arms across her chest to try and shield herself from whoever is walking in, but lowers them when she notices that it’s her Crystal Hilton standing there. Crystal smiles at her, but gets a raised confused eyebrow in response.]
Crystal: There you are Kel, California Gurls in the house!
Kelly: You’re from Detroit.
Crystal: Come on Kelly, you know I’m a Cali woman through and through now.
Kelly: What do you want Crystal.
[Kelly turns around and walks over to a bench in the middle of the room and sits down as she looks up at Crystal, seemingly very annoyed.]
Crystal: Just wanted to talk, wish you good luck tonight, see if you needed a girlfriend.
Kelly: I don’t swing that way Crystal.
Crystal: Not like that! I mean do you need somebody to vent to, you can talk to me we’re friends. You seem really down lately.
Kelly: I really want to just be left alone right now...
Crystal: Are you acting all depressed because of this whole Adam thing?
Kelly: You make it sound like it’s no big deal...
Crystal: Just talking about this whole thing with Ashlie... it isn’t. Todd has a kid with another woman and...
Kelly: Oh yeah, it’s no big deal coming from the woman who has slept with how many people behind Todd’s back? He always comes running back to you like a puppy you can’t expect me to take this so lightly when I’ve never once went behind Adam’s back.
Crystal: Didn’t you kiss Steve on a pay per view and were about a split second away from going away to cabo with him? Weren’t you also living with him for some time?
[Kelly’s eyes thin to slits.]
Kelly: Shut up.
Crystal: Kelly, Adam is crazy over you and you know it. He’d never, ever do anything like that, he’s not some sex craved normal guy, he’s all about you.
Kelly: I thought that once Crystal... but I just don’t know after all this. He lied about not knowing a thing about my father, he lied to cover his tracks, he pretended to care and in the end he was the one behind it, he did this... and besides, how would you know anything about this...
Crystal: Well... I.. ummm... ok, look, we promised never to tell you this because he knew how jealous you’d get.
[Kelly stands up from her seated position and angrily gets up next to Crystal just a few inches away from her face.]
Kelly: What are you talking about Crystal?
Crystal: Did I ever tell you that Adam and I have met before?
Kelly: Obviously not, or we wouldn’t be in this position right now.
Crystal: I just want to make this clear first... you two weren’t together. This was when you were dating that Ortega guy... Adam did a few indy shows for a company that I worked at as an interviewer. We got to knew each other there.
Kelly: AND...
Crystal: He talked about you a lot...
Kelly: AND!
Crystal: We slept together...
-SMACK!-
[Kelly quickly smashes Crystal in the face with an open hand slap that echoes inside the room. Crystal holds her face in pain but doesn’t let it anger her as she was kinda expecting it. Kelly reaches down and grabs her shirt off the floor and paces around in a circle a bit clearly getting angry.]
Kelly: What int he **** is going on around here!? It’s like I don’t even know any of you anymore!
Crystal: Kelly! Look I’m telling you this to show you how much he cared about you. We didn’t have a relationship or anything, it was one time. When we met later when Zelda was in another company, we promised we wouldn’t tell Todd or you about it and pretend like it never happened and we never met. He hid it because he loved you.
Kelly: This only makes things worse Crystal! It shows he is still hiding things from me! You and him keeping this from me!
Crystal: No, it shows that he was only thinking about you. Maybe if you didn’t put him in a position where he felt like he had to tip toe around you then he wouldn’t feel like he had to hide things to make you happy.
[Kelly spins around like she’s going to strike Crystal again but stops herself and just stares at her friend.]
Kelly: Do I really come off like that? Like an overbearing control freak?
Crystal: Kinda...
[Kelly sits back down on the bench and puts her hand resting in the palm of her hand, looking sad.]
Crystal: He loves you.
Kelly: I know that, but...
Crystal: You know, you can be his wife... it doesn’t mean you have to be in his little group or go along with everything he comes up with. That is, if you can forgive him for what he did to Leonard.
[Kelly looks up and lets out a long sigh as she thinks about what Crystal has just said.]
Kelly: I need to be alone now...
[Crystal nods her head before she turns around and heads back out the door she came from. Kelly looks at the floor in deep thought, going over everything that has been said inside of her head until the screen fades to black.]
