INT. Graces living room

GRACE is on her knees next to a table, crying into her hands, the room around her has been trashed and on the table lay a kitchen knife, a pot of pills and a razor blade

Grace places her hand on the table and slides between each item until finally picking up the razor blade

She rubs her finger across the blade gently, giving her a small cut that starts to bleed, she drops the razor to the floor

BRUNETTE GIRL is sat in a chair behind Grace, she claps her hands sarcastically

Brunette Girl

Well that was clever!

The Brunette girl pulls out a cigarette and puts it in her mouth

Grace starts wrapping up her bleeding finger

BRUNETTE GIRL

Aren't you supposed to start with the wrists first?

The Brunette girl pulls out a box of matches and lights her cigarette

Grace finishes wrapping her finger

BRUNETTE GIRL

Are you even listening to me?

Grace picks up the razor and places it back on the table

BRUNETTE GIRL

(laughing)

You know, I'm only here because you need me

The Brunette girl stands up

BRUNETTE GIRL

(sternly)

Your pathetic, stop pretending I'm not here!

Grace turns to look at the Brunette girl then looks the opposite direction

grace

(distantly)

Your not here though are you? Your not even real...
 
Please don't confuse "your" with "you're". That's one of my biggest Internet pet peeves.

Pay attention to your tense. Don't use "is sat", but "sits". Better yet, use a more descriptive verb like "lounges", "reclines", "slumps", etc. Sitting is boring - no action associated with it.

Really not much story here yet, just a schizophrenic girl with a drug problem.
