Opening Scene Treatment

Ashley believed he was in love with a beautiful, young lady, way out of his league. He believed this girl was his one and had spent many months before fantasising what it would be like if he got one chance with this girl. When ashley got the courage to ask the girl on a date, she said yes. Which hooked ashley on love, day after day after day; he would see her and shower her with gifts making her feel like a princess. After a while, he started seeing this girl less and less, and she used excuses like 'School is too hard at the moment' and 'Im busy, maybe tommorrow'. He didn't realise the obvious, she didn't like him anymore. It was a sunday night, he kissed the photo of her goodnight and put the picture which was located on the bedside next to him down and laid down comptemplating how their future will go. Wondering how many kids they'll have and what they're going to name them.
Ash woke up in the morning, rolled over and checked his phone. A text from his beloved saying "I don't think its working Ash, its not you, its me. Hope we can still be friends x"
Devastated, he sat in his bed staring at the mirror facing him for a good intese 20 minuites. Ashleys mother walked in and asked why he was like this, no reply.
He got up, took his time to get ready and walked to school almost an hour later than he usually does. He opened a door to the school, stood still, then looked down for about 5 mins while people walked around him when they came out their lessons. Ash slowly walked the through everyone walking towards him. Everything looked grey in his eyes, trying not to hold back the tears. He turned left thinking he's love was there waiting for him, but no one was there. He stood again in complete still while people around him rushed to their lessons, without a care in the world he walked into a completely empty class, he sat got his books out and stared at the board for the remainder of the hour.
His ex girlfriend even walked past the room but he was so deep into this stare he didn't realise. When the bell went off, he walked out of the class. Head still looking towards the floor, looking like death. Ash bust through the same door he entered in and stomped through the playground. No one is quite sure whats about to happen now, Ash doesn't look sane, something inside of him has gone wrong.
He check's his phone while marching towards the exit of school, nothings changed. Ash breaks into tears.

A few days pass, he still hasn't changed. He goes into school, no will for life anymore and walks around to where his ex girlfriend usually stands. This time she is there, looking as well and more beautiful then he ever imagined. He approached her with a look of worry on his face while she is laughing and joking with her friends. When she realises he's approaching, she tells her friends for some privacy, realsing her mistake in letting him go. She whips her hair back as Ash creeps towards her with some pain burning inside him. She asks him to take a step outside, ashley walks besides her in complete silence, but because of the time in the morning, many parents are taking their kids to school. She doesn't say much, but gestures for a hug while ash still stands there in complete silence, but during this hug, Ash lent backwards, dragging both of them towards an incoming car, killing him instantly but leaving her in a extreme condition.
