Hello, Timmy!

He crashed his car.

Sissy can't even drive.

Always racing in front

so guys could check out his ass.

I'm sure he'll come to shake his ass

at Jeff's party tomorrow.

Check out the f*ggot: skylink.ca/img-24894

I love running after these!

Jen:
Jeff is the a**hole.

Shut up, you slut.

Jen:
You're all sick!

Tim should jump off a bridge

We've got each other's back.

It'll be okay, son.

See you later.

I'm home!

Good news!

You can finish school at home!

Sorry about everything. I love you.

Is Tim home?

No. What's going on?

Where's his computer?

Come in.

Here.

He just posted this.

What did I do to all of you?

You've been on my case for 5 years.

You come at me from all sides...

at school...

by text...

And I don't even know why.

You even kick me when I'm down.

I can't bear this anymore.

This has to stop.

It'll stop right now.

That's it?

He's not answering.

I'll run by the park where he used to go.

There's a party for Jeff, I'll check it out.

Hello?

He's not here. You?

I'm almost there.

I'll go back home, in case I missed something.

I'm sorry for...

You won't bother anyone ever again.

What are you doing here?

Pat and Syd are looking for you.

I screwed up. There's a bomb.

Get out! There's a bomb!

Everybody out! There's a bomb!

I wasn't able to...

I wasn't able to protect him.

I wasn't there...

His intentions weren't necessarily good...

but when he realized...

the harm he would cause, he chose...

to save us all.

He was a really good guy.

It was only a joke.

Just a joke.
