Beth Ann lands a lead role on Broadway

We left off with Beth Ann having a major meltdown. Now it's been almost one full year since Kaylob was declared dead. She has landed a lead role in a Broadway production. Her lifelong dream is happening. But the dream is bittersweet. Kaylob had always been there with her when she imagined this day. In this scene she sees her name in lights for the first time. Her heart is filled with gratitude but her heart is also empty without her Kaylob.

She decided to take a break and walk outside to see the marquee lit up with The Chorus Years, A Musical Review of Times. Her heart skipped beat and tears glistened in her eyes when she read the next line: Introducing singer actress Elizabeth Ann Rose.

Seeing her name up in lights felt surreal, she would truly be stepping into her dream. The sky was clear, and off to the west she saw some twinkling stars. She looked at her watch and her eyes filled with more tears as she gazed up into the sky.

“Kaylob, look at my name up there,” she whispered

Next week Beth Ann has a very strong vision of Kaylob. I thought I'd take you into that experience with her.

DID SHE WANT TO DIE

Last week we left off with Beth Ann chopping off her hair one strand at a time. She doesn't believe Kaylob is dead but just learned he's been missing for two months. She cut off her hair and jabbed her scalp leaving a trail of blood in the bathroom. Blood rushed down her face from the damage to her scalp. Her family and friends are pleading with her to open the BATHROOM DOOR! Now she glances at herself in the mirror and realizes what she has done.

Beth Ann stood like a weather-beaten statue, naked and dead. She had become a freak. Distorted 

images twisted and shifted in the mirror. She stared at her image and started screaming. 

The jiggling of the doorknob couldn't stop her uncontrolled agony.The door finally flung open and 

her mom cried when she saw her.

  “Oh my God. Beth Ann! What have you done?”

Beth Ann's melt down

In this scene Beth Ann fights to stand again, after being almost comatose for two months. She finally realizes that Kaylob is missing in Vietnam, although she’s been told he is dead. But she never felt him die. She refuses to believe he’s dead. But just the knowledge that he’s been gone for two months hits her in this bathroom. This is the very moment she comes to grips with the fact that he might not ever come home again. 

           After a few seconds, she opened the bathroom drawer and calmly took out the scissors, then she began cutting her hair one strand at a time.  An ominous silence swept through the room as she sliced off her hair and jabbed her scalp. From the silence came a wave of pain. The only love she had ever known had been gone for two months. In that moment, she realized all her dreams had to be abandoned. 

From the ashes of war, her love might never return.

           Last week Beth Ann broke up with Kaylob after she found out he was going back to Vietnam. How would you handle it, if the guy you loved and were engaged to, went back to war without talking it over? Now, she's so upset, she's broken a promise she made to Kaylob and left in one of the worst storms southern California has seen in a very long time.

          The town is Riverside, and crime is all around. What will happen when she leaves and goes into the city alone? What will Kaylob do? What will her friends do? As the hours tick by, nobody hears from her? The day turns into night and Beth Ann is all alone. Can they find her?

Beth Ann trekked through the rain-drenched city. The downpour overflowed the storm drains, turning the streets into shallow canals. Wind thrashed the treetops along the sidewalk, flinging leaves in every direction. Her feet were drowning in the deluge while her bellbottoms soaked through to her skin. She stopped for a minute and took in the unfamiliar surroundings. Only a few people ventured out, some huddled under umbrellas, others running with hooded jackets. One man ran with a newspaper over his head.

Join us next week...

Will it be the end?

Beth Ann can't believe he signed up to go back to the Vietnam War again. 

                                                         

Last week we left off with Kaylob telling Beth Ann he was leaving again. It took him a while to explain why, but nothing could make her understand. She had planned for them to be married when he got home. She doesn't want to hear why he's going back, because nothing makes sense to her. He tells her all about his brothers in his Bravo troop and how they are dying over there. But can anything fix the fact that he did this without talking it over. Riverside California is nothing like the safe  little city they grew up in . She made Kaylob a promise never to leave when she was angry again. But didn't he make her a promise also?

“Beth Ann, you made a promise to me, remember? Never to take off when you’re angry.”

“Don’t you dare talk to me about broken promises! Seems you can keep promises to everyone else   but me, even my brother Cole.”She ripped the ring off her finger and threw it at him, hitting him in the chest.“I don’t want to marry you anymore! Go ahead, have sex with someone else. Marry someone else. I’m done.”
