Hi, my name is Ben.
LEONA LEWIS: Hi Ben.
Apparently I'm dead.
LEONA: No, you're not dead.
ME: Then why am I here?
LEONA: Because you and I need to have a talk.
ME: I don't get it. You're not dead either.
LEONA: I just took on the image of Leona Lewis. I'm actually the Angel of Death.
ME: Oh great.
I looked around. I was in Billy's dorm room.
ME: What am I doing here?
LEONA: Ben, you're going to use what's happened to you as an opportunity to change your life.
ME: Um, okay...
LEONA: Look at Billy.
All of a sudden, there he was--on his bed--crying into his pillow.
LEONA: After a night of emotional push-and-pull from you.
ME: Hey, it's not like we were married.
Then we were in Jeremy's room. He was lying on his bed as well, staring up at the ceiling.
LEONA: And then there's Jeremy, the night you stabbed him in the back.
ME: All's fair in love and gay sex.
Finally, we were outside the club--that night. And I could see myself telling off the guys. I admit, I looked pretty hammered.
LEONA: Not a pretty sight, is it?
ME: I just spoke the truth.
LEONA: Oh, you did, did you? Well then, how's this for truth?
All I could feel was heat--strong heat.
LEONA: If you don't change your ways, things aren't going to go so well for you, Ben.
I saw an old man sitting at a bar, drinking a beer, alone.
ME: God, tell me that's not--
LEONA: Shape up, kiddo.
I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
VOICE: I think he's waking up.
Keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding
VOICE: Jeremy, turn off the radio.
My eyes are opened. Nathan, Billy, and Jeremy are all standing at my bed.
ME: What...
NATHAN: It's okay, sweetie. Just relax.
BILLY: You were in an accident.
ME: I...oh God...
I closed my eyes, but I could hear Nathan's voice, asking me--
NATHAN: Ben, do you remember who did this to you?
And I did. But I'd already made the decision.
I wasn't going to tell.
