STILL HURTING por LAUREN KENNEDY

CATHERINE
Jamie is over and Jamie is gone. Jamie's decided it's time to move on. Jamie has new dreams he's building upon and I'm still hurting. Jamie arrived at the end of the line. Jamie's convinced that the problems are mine. Jamie is probably feeling just fine and I'm still hurting. What about lies, Jamie? What about things that you swore to be true. What about you, Jamie, what about you? Jamie is sure something wonderful died. Jamie decides it's his right to decide. Jamie's got secrets he doesn't confide and I'm still hurting. Go and hide and run away. Run away, run and find something better. Go and ride the sun away. Run away like it's simple. Like it's right...

Jamie enters - He is not wearing a wedding ring. Catherine does not see him. It is five years earlier than the scene in Catherine’s room - Jamie is at the beginning of the relationship, and Catherine, across the stage, is at the end. During this musical interlude, Jamie is prepping for his first date with Catherine.

CATHERINE (continued)
Give me a day, Jamie. Bring back the lies. Hang them back on the wall. Maybe I'd see how you could be. So certain that we had no chance at all. Jamie is over and where can I turn? Covered with scars I did nothing to earn. Maybe there's somewhere a lesson to learn. But that wouldn't change the fact that wouldn't speed the time once the foundation's cracked. And I'm still Hurting.
