Because the Alternate Ending Lyrics

ALT Ending: "quotations are thoughts from the boy"
Dialogue is represented by a characters name, colon, then a return where dialogue begins, continuations have [cont'd] between returns




The Boy sprints toward the pool. "My shoes feel like cinderblocks."

[GUNSHOTS] Dude 2 fires back at Dude 1, falls back onto the couch. He appears to be shot


The Boy continues to run. Lots of yelling. Sirens in the distance

Dude 1:
Fuck! I’m dying over here! Someone call an ambulance!

"He’s definitely been shot."

Girl (Abella Anderson/online girlfriend) appears in the water in her bathing suit. "Am I already dead?" The Boy jumps and lands in front of her. As he rises from the water, the warm air and a sense closure fall upon him. He wraps his arms around her. "She’s bigger than I imagined." She feels a full 6-7 inches taller than The Boy, like a woman guarding her child

She kisses him softly

Dude 2 stumbles outside clenching a wound in his stomach. Sees The Boy is alone in the pool, his eyes are shut. The Boy looks like he’s in his own world at this point

Girl whispers in The Boy’s ear. It is unclear what she is saying but he looks at peace with her words, like he’d been waiting to hear them his whole life

[LOUD GUNSHOT]
Red begins to fill the pool. Girl hasn’t taken her eyes off The Boy, still smiling, still loving. She appears to be unscathed by any gunshots

The Boy’s body is again floating in the pool, as he imagined, but this time the water in the pool has begun to turn a scarlet red

His Pax vaporizer floats to the top of the water. The indicator lights swirl in colors till it sparks and appears to be broken


…THE END
