good and won't want them to stay. When thieves steal Luke's car, Laurette reminds Luke not to worry because she still has her car. Laurette and Luke drive off and pick up Pamela Jo. Luke, Laurette, and Pamela Jo all arrive at the house that Cheeter is in. Laurette and Luke are accepting to stay. Luke and Laurette are hoping to find a new life, but Luke is unable to get a job and becomes increasingly depressed. Luke calls for Laurette and reminds her to put the sandwich down and line up the beer bottles he will later shoot with his gun. Laurette tells Luke that she can no longer stand by and watch him destroy himself and goes out for a night on the town alone. Luke calls Herschel on his cellular phone and reminds him to send him home. After being sent home by Herschel, Luke reunites with Mr. Constable and Aunt Alice and makes them happy and makes Laurette angry. Struggling in poverty, Luke contemplates murdering Mr. Constable, but he can't bring himself to do it. And upon her return, Laurette visits one final time with Cheeter, who tells her that Luke went home, causing Laurette to get mad at Luke. Laurette returns to Luke's house and finds him drunk and brandishing a gun. Luke threatens to shoot Laurette; she tells him to go ahead and kill her - he pulls the trigger, killing her with one shot. After Laurette dies, Luke somehow manages to get her body out of the house and to a remote location on his family's property. After placing Laurette's dead body on top of gathered branches and twigs, he lights it all on fire and watches Laurette's body burn. He momentarily considers killing himself, but is unable to do so and apologizes to Laurette for not being strong enough to do so. Later that night, Luke, sitting in his pickup, is surrounded and arrested for murder by law enforcement and police, while he tells his grandfather that he did not have the strength to die and that his dad had the strength to die. At Laurette's funeral, Pamela Jo and Billy arrive, saying goodbye to her while Pamela Jo reads from her diary the poem Laurette was writing before Laurette died, and Luke, now confined to a wheelchair, is imprisoned in jail.
