Representation Story

Man 1 and Woman 1 - Intro
In New York City there lived a stuck up, arrogant businessman who strived on the success of his business and pursuing of the female kind. He had a wife, two children and lived the all round perfect family life his wife cooked, cleaned and most of all never moaned about how late her husband would come home after work she simply said "Boys will be boys" but did she say this simply at the fact that she knew her husband was having an affair behind her back with his 20 year old secretary or simply the fact that if she questioned him about his infedelity he would raise his hand and dark bruises would appear around her eye swollen, early on a cold winter's morning.


Man 2 and Woman 2 - Intro
She was born in Chicago not your average Beauty Queen. She had long black hair like coal and had long model type legs. She was married to her long time friend and they had moved away from their home town of Oak Park and travelled to New York where they had money problems. She had bragged herself an interview at a top business firm and that's when she met him. Just for a moment she forgot she was married and edged closer to the 6ft dark haired man who they all called the "Boss".


Woman 1 - Leaving people behind
I have cancer his wife screamed as he left for work that morning. The slam of the door was like her whole world had collapsed did her husband really love her? Or could it be he had found success and she was no longer his high school love and they were no longer the perfect family.


Woman 2 - Should be a Happy Moment
I'm pregnant she said quietly one cold winter's morning to her young handsome husband lying next to her. He grabbed her instantly and whispered to her stomach "It's your Daddy here" she however was none the less overjoyed as the man whispering to her stomach was not the Father of her child.


Woman 2 - Something to Say?
"We need to talk" she said with a lump in her throat to her dark haired "Boss" he pulled her, to one side and said "what do you want" in an almost abrupt voice. Just at that moment her phone rang it was her clueless husband she pressed the call end button. He whispered to her "i have to go" and tried to cover their secret meeting with words of that of buisness and finance. She placed a note, in his pocket while he quickly rushed from her side.


Woman 1 - A Lonely Place
She sat at home looking at herself in the mirror repeating to herself "he must really find you ugly". She went to the wine cabinet in the living room and poured herself a glass and than reclined to the sofa were she flicked through the endless photos of her once precious marriage which had fallen to pieces.


Man 2 - The man of your Dreams
Her husband was at home cooking her a lovely meal with candles and flowers from the local florist. She arrived home late, soaking wet from the pouring rain. He, instantly grabbed her and wrapped her in a warm tender hug she felt pure guilt race through her body and felt a flutter from her stomach she whispered "you know don't you?" she felt an instant kick in response. "Know what her husband whispered" as if not to ruin their tender moment "Nothing" she said in a shaky voice and she went to their room he followed quickly and so she was facing him he pulled her close to his chest and began to softly hum their favourite song to her. Her eyes, instantly filled up with tears and the flutter in her stomach grew more and more intense.


Man 1 - Has he changed?
He arrived home late smelling of alcohol and lipstick on his collar. She knew where he had been but dared to
ask him for she knew she would be a victim of his terrible outbursts. She simply moved away from the sofa she had been on for the past several hours as she could not stand to be near him. However this evening it was different he came closer and closer and pulled her into his chest. Why was he hugging her? he questioned they had never embraced in eachothers arms for a very long time. He tenderly kissed her forehead and went up the stairs she went back to the sofa and lay down clutching a photo of her and her husband on their wedding day.


Woman 2 - Tender Hugs and Painful Mistakes
She woke in the morning with her husbands arm wrapped around her stomach tenderly. She got up and got dressed in her usual fashion on a typical Friday morning she was wondering whether the "Boss" had found her little confession yet and how he would react.


Man 1 - Big Business
He left early in the morning as usual not a goodbye for his wife or sons he got in his car and drove off. He arrived and saw her standing out side his office he tried to avoid her but met her gaze instead she prompted, to his office and they walked inside. Did you get it? she said Get what? he said the fire alarm went off and they were once again interupted they had to go their sepearte ways as she had to go down the collegaue staircase. They met in the carpark but had to remain professional as they could not let anything slip in front of protential costumers all squashed agaisnt the back wall.


Woman 1 - Heartbreak
She sat alone at home as usual she had completed her chores and wallowed in the enormity of their grand house. She picked up his jacket and out fell a Business Card she turned it over and found the words "I'm preganant It's yours! written on the back of it. She felt, her heart sink and her body slowly curled up on the floor as she knew of her husbands many affairs, she knew he no longer loved her, but she never thought it would come to this.


Man 1 - Actions have Consequences
He rushed to the hospital she lay there still on the bed not moving very still he moved towards her and felt her ice cold skin. Noooooo he shouted was he know realising that he had lost his maid his servant or the fact that he had lost his companion and it was to late to get her back. His sons sat still in the corner the youngest crying into the older ones chest saying "this is not happening". But it was and it had happened she had lost alot of blood the rope had pierced her vain the Doctor told him.


Man 2 - A Proud Moment
He rushed to the hospital she lay there he moved around the bed his gazed fixed on her but than, he noticed something in the corner an incubator at her side and in it lay a tiny person wrapped up in what seemed to be thousand's of balnkets. He picked the tiny baby up and placed it close to his chest and whispered "your mummy and daddy love you very much". She lay there as her husband sat on the edge of the bed with their "newborn" as she felt him sit on the bed she got up and walked out with him helplessly staring at the door as it closed.


Man 1 - When death comes knocking
A black hearse pulled up outside the church he stepped out with his sons in tow they proceded up the stairs her coffin elegantly past him and he dropped his head in shame. She walked towards him he pulled her to one side out of view of the many morners. "What are you doing here?" he asked sharply she caught her breath and said "I had your baby last week do you want to see her?".


Man 2 - On the street corner
She returned home with her baby and husband she went to her room and closed the door tightly behind her. A text message came through on her phone he picked it up and read what it said "Ok i want to see my baby but not now in a weeks time when i come back from Barbados". He paused and looked at the tiny baby in the cot next to him he grabbed all the bin bags he could find and item by item he placed her things into them and put them by the door. He held the tiny baby close to his chest and whispered "your not going anywhere but mummy is" he cleared his throat as she came out of the bedroom she paused looked at him, her phone and than to the bin bags at the door. He opened the door and took her by the hand he carefully took her left hand and took of the ring he had so effortlessly placed on her on their wedding day. Than guiding her down the stairs and out the door he chucked the bin bags one after another landing beside her on the pavement. He than tenderly kissed her forehead and said "we could of been so good together" and went back inside with the baby warmly tucked into his chest as she remained behind crying endlessly on the street corner.


The truth will always be revealed no matter how much you try to bury it!!
