So, uh...so, her mom went to church...and I was really fiending this girl.
So, I went over to her house and we started talking.

What script? There's no script!
You CAN'T write your life!!!
No matter how much you all want a happy ending, you CAN'T have it!!!
I tried to write one, but, it's impossible.
I re-wrote and re-wrote, but things kept changing.
And I hurt people and...
...I knew they were hurting.
But that didn't stop me, because your mind tricks you!
It tricks you into thinking things are fine.
But they're not fine!
Nothing fine!
It' all WRONG!!!
...I'm all wrong...
That's it...
...there is no happy ending...
