A Girl Like Her Page #9

- Absolutely. Please.

Dr. Burns?

After you.

We just checked

Jessica's blood levels,

and it seems that her organs

are not improving,

so she is continuing

down the path

of organ failure,

complete organ failure.

We have her on hemodialysis

at this point...

and... after that,

that's pretty much

all we can do.

What do we do then?

What happens

after that?

I'm sorry.

Mm-mmm.

There's gotta

be something left to do.

We've done pretty much

what we can.

It's just basically

up to her now.

- I'm sorry, Dr. Burns.

- Please.

I'm sorry.

I am...

the one responsible

for Jessica Burns

killing herself.

I wish that it was me...

that couldn't wake up.

I wish it was me that wasn't

breathing, not you.

You don't deserve that,

but I do.

I deserve all of that.

Hey, guys.

What's happening?

Um...

- Hey, Brian.

- Oh, honey.

I thought

everything was OK.

Well, she's had

a rough night.

They're saying

it doesn't look good.

People paid me attention

because of what I was doing.

And even though it wasn't

positive attention,

it was still attention to me.

I didn't care.

I didn't care that

what I was doing was...

affecting someone else so much

that they felt like they

had nowhere to go

and had no one to go to,

that they thought it'd be better

just to... to die than to be here.

She can

hear you, you know?

She can hear you.

I tried to get control

over other people,

and now I'm just totally lost.

I thought it was easier

to put up a wall

and be the one

to control others.

And it's not... it's not right.

And I was lucky enough

to have someone now

care enough to... to show me that

and to tell me that,

and spend the time to talk

with me and listen to me,

which I've never had before.

It wasn't me just playing games

and joking around with someone.

It was me...

ruining somebody.

Jessica...

I know that you might not

ever get to watch this,

but if for some reason you do,

I'm really sorry.

My name is Avery Keller...

and I'm a bully.
