A Girl Like Her Page #8

The footage is very

real, and I want you

to prepare yourself

for that.

In the meantime,

will you please,

please do yourself

a favor

and take that posting

down?

- Yeah.

- OK.

I know you got

to get to class.

- OK.

- All right.

- Hang in there, OK?

- Yeah.

All right.

I don't know

what to do anymore.

I'm kind of embarrassed about

how I handled the situation.

I'm just so frustrated

with not having any control,

and I think that what

I was trying to do is

regain some of the control

over the situation.

Obviously, that didn't really

work out so well, so...

it just kind of sucks

right now because I feel

like everything's

falling apart slowly.

My friends turned on me.

I have no one to talk to...

I mean, besides you.

I mean, kind of... I feel

like now I can talk to you.

I feel like now you...

you're the only person that's

really there for me, you're

the only person that doesn't...

judge me and... make me feel...

like I have to be perfect.

You make me feel

like I can just be me

and you're not gonna

judge me and...

I just feel like I can

actually talk to you and, um...

I'm not used to... to being able

to talk to someone.

I don't know what to do.

I don't...

I just feel so...

I don't know what other word

to use beside "lost,"

and I don't really know what

to expect for tomorrow.

Hopefully I can ho... like, pull

myself together before then,

but...

we'll see.

Hi.

Mr. and Mrs. Keller,

how are you?

Nice to see you.

Nice to see you. Hi.

So you ready

to get started?

- Yeah.

- OK.

Set up a monitor here, if

you guys want to take a seat.

No, um, they're

not gonna stay.

What do you guys have

going on here?

Well, we're... we're

sitting down to...

We're just watching

something,

so you guys

can just go.

Well, I am not gonna let you

just sit there by yourself.

I have to watch it,

too, with you.

I mean, I'm curious

what's going on here.

No, it's fine. Trust me.

I can do this by my...

this is my thing

right now with Amy, so...

But I am your mother,

and you are going

to sit with me

and allow me to be

your support system.

I'm not gonna sit

with you.

I'm gonna do this

by myself

because I'm a big girl

and I need my privacy

sometimes,

so can you please go?

Let's just give her

a minute. This is about her.

You don't have to be here

right now...

But she needs somebody

to support her through this.

- Uhh! I'm fine!

- No, she doesn't.

Yes, she does!

We'll be in

the next room, right?

If you want to go

to the next room,

you go right ahead;

I'm gonna stay with her.

I'm not leaving her

in this time of need!

Listen,

you're going with me

in the other room

to leave these two alone!

This has been going on

long enough!

This is about Avery.

This is not about you.

Can you just listen

to Dad for one time?

Please, can you just go?

- Is this gonna go on?

- Fine.

- Fine.

- Let's go.

Thank you.

- You OK?

- Yeah.

How about we just...

we get started?

Yeah, let's watch it.

Let's just... let's just...

please, I just... I don't

want to have to have her

barging down the stairs

right now and

be annoying again,

so let's just start.

OK.

I was once a star

Shining bright

You pulled me out of the sky

Stole all my light

Why?

Why?

Let's be friends.

Let's be friends.

I heard you got a boyfriend.

I have to go to class.

Go to class? OK.

I was once a boat

Where do you think

you're going?

Sailing off to sea

She's not a fighter, is she?

She just stands there.

You dragged me back

to the shore

Changing my course in life

Why me?

I just don't know why

she hates me so much.

Why you got to pick on me?

Do you understand me?

You're gonna be back

in your little...

And I don't know where

I'm going

But when I get there,

I can say

That I have been

the kindest me

That I can be

Maybe she

doesn't hate you.

Can you say the same?

Maybe she hates herself.

I don't think so.

Code Blue!

I need help here, please!

What's going on?

- What... what's happening?

- Jessie?

Nurse, please escort Mr.

and Mrs. Burns out of here.

- Jessie?

- All right, we have no pulse.

- I need Epinephrine, please!

- Jessie!

Mrs. Burns, you have

to go now, please!

- No!

- Get the parents out!

Mr. Burns, please take

your wife out!

You have to go, please!

Let us do what we do!

I need a cart in here

immediately!

Somebody get me a cart!

Administering Epinephrine!

But we need

to help her right now!

Please do something!

Do something!

Jessie!

Get that camera

out of here! Nurse!

- Out! Out! Please!

- What is going on?

No response!

Beginning compressions!

Where's my cart?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

I was once a tree

Rising from the ground

Winter, spring,

summer or fall

I still grew tall

Till you cut me down

And I don't think

it's gonna stop.

Are you really happy now?

Clear!

- And I don't know where

- No pulse!

I'm going

But when I get there

I can say

- That I have been

- Charging!

- Clear!

- The kindest me

- That I can be

- No pulse!

- No pulse!

- Can you say the same?

Charging!

- Charged.

- Honey.

- Clear!

- Clear.

- No pulse.

- Oh, my God!

Again.

Charging.

Yeah? Have you guys...

Your children would be

really disgusting.

Can you turn it off?

Charging!

Clear!

No pulse!

Again!

Oh! Jessie.

Can you please

turn it off right now?

Now I'm a shooting star

Please turn it off.

- Can't catch me

- Clear!

Clear!

- Tried to pull me

- Pulse! We have a pulse!

Out of the sky

Steal all my light,

but look

- OK?

- Yeah, yeah, she's OK.

It's not dimming

I can't...

OK.

It's not OK.

It's all right.

What do... what do I do?

What do I...

I don't know what to do anymore!

I mean, she's not...

Let's take...

let's just take it

one step at a time, OK?

Let's just take it one

step at a time

and we'll get you

some help, OK?

All right?

I mean, she's dying.

I can't even...

I can't even say

I'm sorry!

I can't even tell her

I'm sorry.

I know.

I know there's

no excuse for that.

It's just not right.

I hate myself now.

I hate it. I hate it.

I'm very proud of you.

This is...

this is really hard.

I think you're a very,

very powerful young woman

who people love

and people follow.

But I know that's

not you,

and I know

underneath that,

there's someone who's

just in a lot of pain,

who needs to talk to

somebody and get it out.

Don't you just want

to get it out?

Yeah, but, I mean,

who would I talk to?

I have nobody.

My mom doesn't talk to me.

My dad doesn't talk.

My friends don't care

about real life.

They care about shopping.

They don't...

I don't have

any real friends.

I did have one real friend,

and that was Jessica.

The one person

that cared about me,

the one person that

would never hurt me,

and then I go

and f*** it all up.

I...hurt her.

And I can't even say

I'm sorry.

Let me

see the charts.

We have no...

I'll know within 24 hours.

OK.

We need to discuss

Jessica's situation.

- Can we do it outside?
