You Get Me Page #4

at someone else's house...

There's nothing worse

than a stomach bug. I swear, it's...

Yeah, it's the worst.

Are you feeling better?

I've been feeling weird

the past few days.

You know what really helps me with that

when I feel nauseous is ginger tea.

With a little lemon.

It just tastes good.

Oh, my God. Holy sh*t, is she choking?

She's having an allergy attack.

Someone get help.

I have to find her EpiPen.

Someone call for help!

- I'm gonna go.

- Okay.

God.

[phone beeps]

[creaking]

[sighs]

[panting]

Hey, we need to talk.

Oh, my God,

I'm so happy to see you. I...

I didn't get any sleep last night.

Lydia... her doctor said

there was something in that smoothie.

She started coughing up blood

again last night.

- What?

- Yeah, it was...

It was horrible.

There was so much blood and...

- Oh, my God. Hey, baby, come here.

- I don't know.

I'm so lucky I have you.

Corinne, what an unpleasant surprise.

I thought you were in New York.

Try to remember,

I'm on your side here.

It's a little hard to remember that

when Dad left you everything.

You know what's mine is yours, right?

Right.

Providing you put in a little effort.

I know you've been missing

your therapy appointments.

I missed one.

Two. Dr. Gregory called me yesterday.

You were supposed to see him.

And your guidance counselor

is concerned, too.

Are you at least taking your medication?

I told you, I don't like the medication

they put me on.

It numbs me emotionally.

Sometimes that's a good thing.

I'm a very loving person, Corinne.

- I never said...

- And if I...

can't feel love...

well, you see, I'd rather just...

die.

[chuckles] You always forget

the silverware.

Can you please pass me the syrup?

You're so special, Tyler.

[Gil] I don't understand.

Everything was going fine with Holly.

We were hitting it off.

I haven't talked to her in days.

- You think she's avoiding me?

- She's got a past we don't know about.

I don't know,

don't put yourself too far into it.

- Okay. She could have broken her phone.

- Whatever. Who cares?

You know, I'm sure she's fine.

I'm sure she's fine.

Oh, dude, there she is.

Dang, she looks upset.

[bell rings]

What's going on?

Holly's pregnant.

Wha...

Yeah, it's crazy,

but she says she took, like, four tests.

So I don't know,

I guess the guy is a total a**hole,

and he actually hit her...

he actually hit her.

I told Holly I'd hang out with her.

She just kind of needs someone right now.

Is that the guy?

I wish. He hasn't been in touch.

Are you serious?

He really needs to be there for you.

I know.

What would you do if it was Tyler's baby?

I mean, like, what would you do if

it was you and it was Tyler's baby?

Would you keep it?

I don't know. Um...

That's a big question.

Yeah, but you guys

are so perfect together.

You're gonna be one of those

high school couples

that gets married after college,

and they have kids, and it's so cute.

I'm sure his parents must love

the thought of you as a daughter-in-law.

Actually, I haven't met them yet.

Really?

- Why not?

- They work all the time.

It's really just him and his sister.

He's very private, so I try not to push.

That's so odd.

- You know that's, like, a little weird.

- I know, but it's fine. It's fine.

Your call.

- [girl chattering]

- [man on radio] Off the glass for two!

[man] Inbound pass to the point guard,

who is surrounded by backcourt pressure.

He comes around two guards

before passing it...

Fakes left and goes right

along the baseline...

[girl] Annabelle.

Annabelle is my best friend...

- [Holly] So, what grade are you in?

- [girl] I'm in third.

[Holly] Third grade?

That must be a nice place to be.

[girl] Mm-hmm.

- [Holly] Wait till you get...

- [girl] Tyler!

Hey, Ty.

- I love your nail polish.

- Thank you.

It's midnight fuchsia.

I'll get you a bottle sometime.

Midnight fuchsia. You're so pretty.

Oh, thank you. I'll tell you a secret.

I always wanted a little sister.

So maybe...

you and I can just hang out, us girls.

Hey, why don't I walk you out?

- No, not yet.

- Yeah, not yet.

Sorry, Tiff, she's got to go.

- Okay.

- It's okay. I'll be back soon.

Give me a hug.

You know, your sister seems real sweet.

I don't know why you never

introduced your girlfriend to her.

You're not my girlfriend.

No, you're right.

I'm not your girlfriend at all.

I'm some whore you knocked up

and then left and tried to ignore.

Honestly, Holly, what do you want from me?

Okay, I'm 17. Look at where I live!

Think I can support you and a kid?

I'm trying to be good,

but we gotta come up with some plan

because this isn't working.

You don't need to support me, baby.

What don't you understand?

As long as we're together, it's perfect.

I know how much you love me,

and I know you just can't see it

because of that b*tch!

No, Holly.

You were a mistake.

I know you love...

[Holly grunts]

Just stay away from me.

I mean it, Holly.

- [knock on door]

- [chattering]

[Holly] Can I just, um...

[Ali] Holly?

[Holly] We're still in contact,

and I went over to his house...

- I really didn't know who to call.

- [Ali] No, it's okay. Just sit.

- What's going on? Holly?

- We have a lot to talk about.

I haven't been completely honest

with you.

Okay.

That guy, we have been in contact,

and I went over to his house,

and we had a fight,

and he pushed me to the ground.

Oh, my God, Holly.

God. And I just...

- We need to tell someone.

- No, no. It's more complicated.

You know what, I just...

I really just need to calm down

for a moment.

Okay. That's fine. It's okay.

Just this guy from the summer, I...

I really just need to tell you the truth.

Hey.

Hey.

I got you some flowers.

I hope you're not allergic to those.

[laughs]

Mm, no. Thank God.

How's the hospital? Hot nurses?

Oh.

- The sponge baths are great.

- Ooh.

Oh, yeah.

What's up with you?

Did Holly know about your allergy?

Yeah.

Maybe. I don't know.

Does any part of you think

that this wasn't an accident?

Ali and I get the same smoothies

every single day.

The one time Holly gets them for us,

I have an allergy attack?

I gotta tell you something about Holly.

Me and Holly, we...

[scoffs]

Jesus, Ty.

This all makes a little bit

more sense now.

- You've got to tell...

- I'm gonna tell Ali. I'm gonna tell her.

All right, this is my mess.

I'm gonna fix this.

Be careful.

[line rings]

Hi, you've reached Ali.

Leave a message and I'll get back to you.

Ali, I got to tell you something.

I slept with Holly.

I know.

She showed me pictures.

Yeah. Pictures of you sleeping.

Pictures of you guys up

in some big house together.

Pictures of her with your family.

You let me be friends with her

this whole time.

Do you even know how that makes me feel?

No, Ali, that's not how it was, okay?

We were broken up.

She told me you were gonna break up

with me.

You know that's not true.

I don't know that's not true,

because you lied, Tyler!

You looked me in the eyes,
