In this monologue from the play, “Just One Night”, Laura confronts the guy she’s been dating about their future.
LAURA: When we met, you said you wanted something serious. That’s why I went out with you. I want a future with someone, not a one-night-free-for-all-memory-I’d-rather-forget. Why doesn’t anyone want that anymore? Why don’t… you… want that anymore? Did I become something else to you? Do you not like me? I thought we were… I was starting to see my future. Our future. The apartment we’d share. What kind of decorations we’d put up. What couples Halloween costumes we’d wear together. Then you drop this bombshell on me, and honestly, I shouldn’t be surprised.
But somehow I am. It just seems so damn impossible to find someone decent out there. And I wish I could say it was my fault. Maybe it is. But it just seems like the world is ending and people want to get in one last screw before it all burns up. And maybe I’m just naive to what guys want… I just… You don’t see a future with me? What changed? I really want to know. Because I’m getting pissed off now instead of just sad, and I don’t think you deserve my anger anymore. Being angry means I still care, and I’m… just too numb to care anymore.
So tell me the truth, or don’t say anything at all.
