INT. APARTMENT - DAY
MELISSA is sitting on the couch reading when there is a KNOCK at the door. She gets up and goes to open it. Standing in the doorway is MARTY. Melissa is a bit confused at the sight of him.
MELISSAHey Marty. What are you doing here?
Marty looks a bit embarrassed. He looks up.
MARTYCan I come in?
Melissa is hesitant but lets him in. Marty starts pacing around the room.
MELISSAWhat can I do for you?
Marty keeps pacing then finally turns to look at her.
MARTYLook, I don’t know how else to say this so I’m just going to say it.
MELISSAOkay...
MARTYI leave in the morning.
MELISSAAre you going on vacation?
MARTYNot exactly. I’m being deployed overseas.
MELISSAI didn’t even know you were in the military.
MARTYYeah, I kind of joined the other night accidentally.
MELISSAHow do you accidentally join the military?
Marty shrugs his shoulders.

MARTYThat doesn’t matter. The point is, now that I have to go I have a few things I have to get off my chest.
MELISSAOkay.
MARTYI think I’m in love with you.
Melissa is a bit shocked. Not quite sure what to say.
MARTYI’ve had a crush on you ever since you moved into the apartment complex.
Melissa is still shocked.
MELISSAUh, thank you, I guess.
MARTYI just wanted you to know that. I’m not sure what’s going to happen over seas and I didn’t want to have any regrets.
MELISSAWell, that’s very sweet of you.
(beat)I kind of have a boyfriend.
MARTYI know. And I don’t want to ruin anything between you and him, I just wanted you to know how I felt.
MELISSAOkay, well thank you.
She motions for the door. Marty starts to walk towards it before turning around.
MARTYDo you think it would be okay if I wrote you?
Melissa thinks for a second.
MELISSAI don’t know if that would be a good idea. My boyfriend and all.

MARTYI understand. I just ...Well, I don’t really know a lot of people, and by writing you it would feel like I actually had a friend in the states.
(beat)You don’t have to respond or anything. I just ...I don’t know. I just thought that maybe...
Melissa opens the door. He starts to walk through and turns back.
MARTYThanks for listening.
He turns to leave and Melissa stops him. She reaches up and kisses him on the cheek.
MELISSAIf you really want to write me, you can.
Marty smiles.
MARTYThanks.
FADE TO BLACK.
