Obsession
Date: June 3, 2018
Christy and Ally are hanging out in the living room in the San Diego home that they share with former WCG West Coast Champion Julianna DiMaria. They’re largely minding their own business playing a round of “The Last of Us” on a brand new PlayStation 4 that they had bought to replace the GameCube that Julianna’s father had shattered earlier. Yet, despite the fun that they are having, their faces are uneasy as throughout the time that they’ve been playing the game, Julianna herself has shuffled in and out of the house, coming and going from the backyard carrying boxes and anonymous objects.
Christy: Ally?
Ally doesn’t respond as she’s busy killing a zombie.
Christy: Hey Ally?
Ally pauses the game, realizing that Christy may have something important to say.
Ally: Yeah?
Christy: What do you think Julianna is doing?
They both have an awkward look on their faces as Julianna walks by them as she comes in from the backyard.
Ally: I have… no idea…
Christy: Well…
Christy pauses before Julianna disappears in the hallway.
Christy: I really don’t know. She’s moved quite a few boxes to the backyard from that basement. You think she’s burning stuff that reminds her of Jimmy?
Ally: We already did that with the bonfire, remember?
Christy: Her father?
Ally: Possibly. Is it just me or has Julianna been on edge lately?
Christy: When ISN’T she on edge?
Ally: I mean more than usual…
Christy and Ally cringe as they realize that Julianna is more than likely up to no good. These feelings and suspicions are further creating worry when Julianna comes back with a box as she once again exits the house into the backyard. Her friends realize that she’s basically in a catatonic state.
Ally: Her eyes looked empty…
Christy: Yeah… we need to check on her. I’ll get the camera…
Ally: WHAT?
Christy: Whatever she’s doing, if we film it and put it on YouTube… maybe it’ll deter her from doing… whatever… in the future…
Ally: Great idea! Go get it!
Christy nods before she runs upstairs to collect her camera. Ally then walks to the door leading to the backyard, though she is very cautious. She’s so cautious that when she gets to the door to peek out the window, she catches Julianna’s face and immediately steps back without getting a view of anything. However, it’s not long before Christy returns with the camera.
CAMERA: ON
Ally: Is it on?
Christy: Yep!
Ally: Okay so… our roommate Julianna has been acting very weird.
Christy: That’s an understatement. She’s been moving boxes from the basement to the backyard doing… god knows what. We’re about to find out…
Ally opens the door and they walk outside to see a pile of comics, among other things… surrounding a dressed up mannequin that happens to have two pillows tied around the buttocks area and a blonde wig.
Christy: Oh… my…. God…
Ally: ARE THOSE MY SAILOR MOON DVD’S??!?!?!
Julianna looks at her roommates, and she immediately becomes angry.
Julianna: ...WHY ARE YOU FILMING?!?!?!?!
Christy: What the hell is this??? Wait… those are OUR GAMES!!!!!
Ally: Super Mario… Kirby… ZELDA?!?!?! THE OCARINA OF TIME?!?!?!
Christy: OH HELL NO!
Ally: THOSE ARE ALL OF OUR POKEMON CARDS TOO!!!!!
Christy: Julianna… what the fuck are you doing?!??!?!
Julianna: What does it LOOK LIKE I’M DOING?!?!?!?!?!
Ally: Um… it looks like you’re being a fucking PSYCHO!!!!!
Julianna: Really? Is that what you think? There are some new rules in this house, ladies! And rule number one… EVERYTHING that is for NERDS and GEEKS is BANNED!!!!
Ally: ...what the fuck?!?!?!? Julianna, this has nothing to do with Jessica Se…
Julianna: DON’T SAY HER NAME! I HATE HER!!!!! I hate her that… I am BURNING HER IN EFFIGY!!!!!
Christy: ...you went out of your way to make a mannequin of her complete with the giant ass?
Ally: Oh… my…. God….
Julianna: Is there a PROBLEM?!?!?!?
Ally: Yeah… that’s OUR stuff! You can’t burn our stuff!
Julianna doesn’t care as she picks up a gas can that she had brought over and pours gasoline all over Christy’s and Ally’s personal possessions that included the Sailor Moon DVD’s, Pokemon cards, etcetera…
Christy: Julianna… think about this…
Julianna: I already have! IT ALL NEEDS TO GO!!!!
Ally: Look, there are FAR better ways to carry out your obsession with Jessica Sears than this!
Christy: Yeah… you’re fighting her in a match next weekend! Wouldn’t beating her be enough? If you go through with this, Julianna… there is no turning back! We’ve got this on camera and if you go through with this, we’re putting this up on YouTube! Do you want to be embarrassed on YouTube?
Julianna: You’re already filming, what’s it matter?
Ally: Julianna.... Think about this… seriously! We’re not filming this to be funny… we’re filming this to deter you from… you know… DOING SHIT LIKE THIS!!!!
Christy: Exactly! This is absolutely mental!
Julianna: I’ll show you mental!!!
Julianna pulls out a box of matches from her pocket.
Ally: Julianna… please… put… the matches… down…
Christy: You don’t need to do this! Seriously. I know you hate her and everything, but calm down… seriously!!!! What’s your mother going to think if she finds out that you’re doing this sort of crap?
Julianna suddenly is frozen, as Christy appears to have broken through to her some. Deep down, Julianna knows that what she’s doing is wrong, but her obsessive hatred of Jessica Sears is running so deep that it’s not allowing her to think straight. Still, Ally and Christy know how to get through to her better than anyone, knowing some of the harsh events she has been through in recent times.
Ally: I know you’ve been going through a lot lately, but this is not the way to cope with this. If your mother knows you’re doing this… the consequences…
Julianna: What could she POSSIBLY do?
Christy: She could call your therapist and they can legally have you placed under her care as if you were a child again.
Ally: And I KNOW you don’t want that! We know it’s hard with what happened with Jimmy, and with your parents getting divorced and maybe even your NGW career not going the way you want it to with the way that blue masked guy keeps getting in your way. But… this is too far. You’re better than this Julianna and we’re going to do everything it takes to help you! Just please… put the matches down! You don’t need to do this!
Christy: And for fuck’s sake, get rid of that Jessica Sears mannequin. It’s… it’s SICK!
Julianna: Ladies… you really want me to not burn this stuff? Is it because it’s YOUR stuff, or is it because you actually care?!?!?!
Ally: We’re the only friends you have!
Christy: You know you can’t get through these obstacles alone, Julianna! We’re borderline begging you to stop this! Fuck… I can’t…
Christy hands off the camera to Ally because some tears have filled her eyes. She takes a quick second to wipe them away before she takes the camera back from Ally.
Ally: PLEASE, Julianna… be better than this!!!
Julianna’s hands are quivering and as a result, the box of matches in her hands is shaking. Without warning, the box falls out of her hands and the matches spill all over the ground. Julianna has a moment where tears are filling her own eyes as she’s touched by how much her friends truly care about her.
Julianna: I… I can’t… burning your stuff… it’s wrong…
Christy: Right… we’re on the same page! There you go…
Julianna turns and walks away, catching a few deep breaths.
Ally: See? We’re good right?
Julianna says nothing as she walks back toward the mannequin and then she gives it a quick kick in the ass knocking it face down
Julianna: FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Julianna picks up the gas can and douses the mannequin with gasoline!!!!
Julianna: I HATE YOU!!!!! I HATE YOU!!!!! I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!
Julianna tosses the gas can aside and picks up the box and one of the matches. However, as she gets upright again, Ally bolts toward her and tackles her into the ground, pinning her against the grass. Julianna struggles to break free while Ally struggles to keep her pinned to the ground.
Julianna: GET OFF ME!!!!!!
Ally: I need to get some help here!!!!!
Christy puts down the camera and the camera captures her helping Ally as they both pull her off the ground! They restrain her as they try to drag her back into the house as she attempts to break free. However, the two on one odds are too much and they ultimately win out.
Julianna: I’M GOING TO TELL MY THERAPIST!!!!! I’M TELLING MY THERAPIST!!!!!
Julianna’s pleas fall on deaf ears as Christy and Ally drag her into the house and slam the door shut.
CAMERA: OFF
MEANWHILE, IN DR. MONTGOMERY’S OFFICE….
DATE: June 5, 2018
Julianna is completely embarrassed as she’s in Dr. Montgomery’s office, the two of them watching the YouTube clip of the incident that happened.
Dr. Montgomery: What in the world made you think THAT was okay?
Julianna: Um… I…
Dr. Montgomery: Were you drunk?
Julianna: See, what happened was… I was on the phone with my dad a half hour before that happened and he told me that I have to choose between him or my mother and… it… I…
Dr. Montgomery: And you think that’s okay? What you were going to do? Julianna, you are OBSESSED with this Sears woman! Why?
Julianna: I’m NOT obsessed…
Dr. Montgomery: Making a mannequin out of her that you were going to set on fire is NOT normal! It’s an obsession, that’s what this is! And you’re going to face her in a match this Sunday? You’re becoming a danger to yourself! Is there something hidden that makes you hate her? Or is this a ruse because there’s some kind of… dare I say… hormonal, sexual attraction to her?
Julianna: WHAT?!?!??!?!
Dr. Montgomery: Hey, it’s the 21st century. I’m not judging! I thought maybe… never mind… Anyway…
He sighs, clearly trying to figure out how to deal with Julianna’s thought pattern.
Dr. Montgomery: We’re running out of time with this emergency session. Is there something about Jessica Sears that triggers you?
Julianna: Yes… yes there is… childhood memory… involving my dad….
Dr. Montgomery: Interesting. Let’s elaborate that during our regularly scheduled session in two weeks, alright? Until then… please don’t do that *points at television monitor*... again!
Julianna sighs as Dr. Montgomery stands up to leave his office. Julianna is left alone for a bit, starting at the television monitor. She replays the YouTube video in her head and her eyes indicate embarrassment over what she’s done. At the moment however, all Julianna can do is cope with the obvious crises that have been enveloping her lately, wondering how to pull through them all...
