I didn't have any other way.
How could you do this? It was a mistake.
It was a huge mistake.
After bobby, I came here because of you.
You were supposed to be the one person In the whole world That I could trust.
But you used me.
Why, holly j? I'm broke.
You don't know what it's like.
Yeah, well, the saddest part, If you had just asked, I would've given you the money.
And a 9-9 for wiping that grin off her face.
It was pretty satisfying.
I hardly recognize you any more.
And yet, so few people have noticed How I really changed.
Maybe I should just, I don't know, Go back to the old me.
Uh, no way! Give me those.
Oh! My glasses! I think they're dead.
It-it's okay.
I, uh, I don't need them any more.

I'd still rather be here.
Don't worry.
I didn't tell declan.
Thanks.
Please, fiona.
Look, I know I made a mistake, But you have to forgive me.
Why? Because we're both lacking In the friend department.
We need each other.

That was just Bad judgment, right? It'll never, never happen again.
And I'll find a way to pay you back.
I know a way.
