i wanna see you be brave

Thank you. I’m- Sorry for dumping all of that on you. I just needed you to know. I hate keeping secrets from you.

It's okay, I just...need to get through being so pissed off. I'm misdirecting my anger at you - sorry. I love you, Marley.

…I’m not defending her. I’m not. I’m not. But everyone has reasons, Ol, good or no.

Fine.

Oh, yes. Because I would love everyone to think that my sister’s psychotic and killed my ex-‘best friend’. Ollie, please, just- Don’t mention it to anyone. Blake… Had her reasons, I guess.

There isn't a good reason for cheating on someone, Marley! I'm not gonna say anything and I'm not gonna...smother her with a pillow, I guess. And I'm sure as hell not gonna sit here and let you defend her.

Ollie, don’t, please. Then everyone’s gonna know and that’s exactly what I wanted to avoid.

I don't mind people thinking I'm psychotic and just...killed one of my roommates. I don't mind that at all. I can take all the blame. You wouldn't even have anything to do with it.

…So, that’s the story, and I’m… Gonna go now…

I'm going to kill her. I know where she sleeps.

It’s Blake.

Just a little bit more, I swear. We sort of- Broke up. She cheated on me.

Are you fucking kidding me? Proposes and fucking cheats? It's a damn good thing you didn't go through with it, Marls. You deserve so much better than that shit.

I know. I had a moment of utter craziness, and I just went for it. She was… Very, very persuasive. …There’s more, though.

There's more?

I didn’t! I- Didn’t. She promised that I wasn’t a rebound so she- Proposed and we ran off to Vegas to get married and- Stuff. But I chickened out, right at the last second, and we just… Started dating.

Who? ..oh. That's...maybe it's for the best? People wait to get married for a reason, Itty Bitty.

No. Nothing bad. Nothing… At all, it’s just- I sort of- Went to Vegas. To get married.

Married?

I don’t know. I guess, er- You remember when I disappeared for a couple of days? Like… Not into my room disappeared?

Yeah. What about it? Did something bad happen?

A lot, actually. A lot I haven’t told you about.

Oh. Well...where do you wanna start?

…That’s because I’m not. I’m not sure. I missed you, Ol.

What's on your mind, Itty Bitty? I missed you more.

Oh- Fine. I’m totally… Fine. How ‘bout you?

You don't sound too sure. I'm okay. I can't complain or anything.
