YES, EVEN WITH THE LETTER

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.

WHERE WAS THE LETTER?

WHERE? THE BOOK.

THAT- THIS BOOK?

THE SAME BOOK?

THIS BOOK?

I'M SORRY.

THAT CAN'T BE.

SHE SENT THIS TO ME WEEKS AGO.

I CAN MAKE SENSE OF THIS.

THERE'S A WAY FOR US

TO MAKE SENSE OF THIS.

WHEN DID SHE DIE?

WHEN DID SHE DIE?!

JANUARY 2nd.

SIX MONTHS AGO.

I MET HER THREE MONTHS AGO.

IT WAS ME.

IT WAS ME...

FROM THE BEGINNING.

LIAR!

I WISH I WERE LYING, PIPER!

I WISH-

I WISH YOU KNEW HER

AND THAT YOU LOVED HER.

ANYTHING THAT WAS JUST-

THAT SHE WAS ALIVE AGAIN.

ANYTHING.

? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PROVE

? SHOWING ME YOUR BLOOD

? SHOWING ME YOUR BRUISE

? YOU SAY THAT NOTHING HURTS

LIKE THE TRUTH?

? SO THAT'S WHAT I'LL USE

? FOR THE RECORD

? I NEVER LOVED YOU

LIKE FOOLS DO?

? YOU WANTED BIG LOVE

? I TRIED

? I JUST COULDN'T WORK IT OU ? INSIDE

? WHEN I SAID

I COULDN'T GET ENOUGH?

? I LIED

? I THINK YOU SAW I ? IN MY EYES

? HOW I DON'T CARE

IF YOU BLEED?

? I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE BLUE

? 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT MY LOVE

? WILL DO

? TO YOU

PIPER.

I DON'T EXPEC YOU TO UNDERSTAND.

OR FORGIVE ANY OF THIS.

I WAS ALONE.

NOTHING SEEMED REAL

AFTER SHE WAS GONE.

I HADN'T LEF THE APARTMENT IN WEEKS.

I JUST WANTED:

SOMEONE TO TALK TO.

SO... I WENT ONLINE,

AS MYSELF AT FIRST.

BUT NO ONE:

WOULD LISTEN.

EVERYONE THOUGHT THA I WAS SOME SORT OF A...

NUTCASE PERVERT.

AND-AND THEN I JUST WANTED

TO KNOW WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE.

TO BE HER JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

I USED PICTURES:

I FOUND AROUND THE HOUSE,

I- I PUT IN HER DETAILS,

THINGS ABOUT HER

NO ONE WOULD KNOW.

AND AT FIRST IT WAS-IT WAS

DISGUSTING, SICK,

THOSE MEN WOULD TAUNT HER,

SEND HER PICTURES-

IT WAS...

BUT THEN YOU-YOU FOUND HER.

YOU CARED FOR HER,

YOU REACHED OUT.

AND-AND SOMEHOW-

SOMEHOW SHE WAS ALIVE AGAIN.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

( sighs )

YOU DID KNOW HER.

WHEN I WAS ON,

IT WAS HER.

IT WAS EVERYTHING

SHE WOULD HAVE SAID,

EVERYTHING SHE WOULD HAVE FELT.

LIKE THIS BOOK.

THIS IS THE BOOK I FOUND

THAT DAY IN THE TABLE.

I SENT IT TO YOU,

BECAUSE SHE WOULD HAVE SENT IT.

WHY WOULD SHE HAVE SENT IT TO ME?

YOU SAID YOU ADMIRED KENYON.

YOU SHARE THAT WITH HER.

YOU SHARED SO MUCH MORE.

YOU- THE SAME...

FEELINGS.

EVEN THE SAME TURNS OF PHRASE.

I DIDN'T SEE IT COMING WITH MOLLIE,

I WANTED TO SEE IT COMING.

AND I SIMPLY COULDN' HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN.

"THERE IS NOTHING I CAN

DO AGAINST YOUR COMING."

"WHEN I AWAKE I AM STILL WITH THEE."

I TOLD YOU I READ IT.

YOU, THE POETRY,

THE WORDS.

THE WAY SHE KISSED,

THE SMALL OF HER BACK, AND...

I... LET YOU. I...

I WAS KNOWN.

MOLLIE'S RIGHT.

THERE ARE NO REASONS, NO ANSWERS.

WHAT ARE YOU ASKING ANYWAY?

WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION?

WHY MOLLIE KILLED HERSELF?

WHY I WANT TO KILL MYSELF?

I DON'T KNOW.

( sighs )

WHAT ABOUT THE TELEPHONE NUMBER,

THE VOICE?

THAT'S-THAT'S MOLLIE.

I, UH, I NEVER CHANGED

THE OUTGOING MESSAGE.

IT WAS THE ONLY WAY I COULD

STILL HEAR HER VOICE.

MY, GOD, PIPER.

I'VE NEVER SAID ANY OF THIS OUT LOUD.

AM I CRAZY?

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE KEYS.

I LIED.

( keys hit floor)

( exhales deeply )

( "Ask Anyone"

by Alex Paul playing )

? WHERE IS MY BABY NOW?

? CLOSED MY EYES

? AND SHE SLIPPED OU ? SHE LEFT NO SIGH ? NO SOUND

? BROUGHT NO GUIL ? TO BRING HER DOWN

? BUT ASK ANYONE

? SHE THREW HERSELF TO THE SUN

? DID SHE GO TO THE HILLS

? AND FIND HER RES ? ABOVE MY WILL?

? NO MORE MEMORIES TO KILL

? LET AVALANCHES BE HER FILL

? AND ASK ANYONE

? SHE THREW HERSELF

INTO THE SUN?

? OH, ASK ANYONE

? SHE THREW HERSELF

INTO THE SUN?

? SHE WALKS A PATH

? THAT NONE CAN FOLLOW

? SHE WALKS A PATH

? THAT NONE CAN FOLLOW
