Short film script

Scene 1:

Character 1: Honey I’m home! (Heads up the stairs)

Character 1: (Finds letter and starts reading it) From your dearest fiancée. You may have noticed that I’ve not been myself lately. Things happen for a reason. A few weeks earlier I was notified by the doctor that I’ve been diagnosed with cancer. I don’t think it’s going be fair for you to live with that. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I made you go through all this sadness. If only you could look through my heart to see who it is beating for, you would know the depth of my love for you. And no matter the seasons that will come and go you will always be here in my heart. I will be watching you from heaven; I will make sure that you are always safe. The time we’ve had together has been sown by perfection. But now our time has come to a halt. An eternal halt. When I met you it felt as if destiny brought us together but destiny has now also departed us in the coldest way. Writing this letter is piercing my heart into pieces. You're my heart, my best friend, and my one true love. I’ll always love you.
