Well, it's not my nature to interfere,
but...
(STAMMERS) I mean, I don't know. Maybe
his poetry is the only true way that he can tell you how he feels.
You know? So meet him halfway.
Tell him how you feel.
Shawn... Angela...
Go ahead.
You sure? You're not gonna hit me again, are you?
I'm sorry I did that.
No, it's cool. I probably deserved it.
You're probably right.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Look, I've been going over these words in my head over and over again
'cause I want to say this right.
Oh, just... Just take your time.
We used to talk. I mean, really talk. I miss that.
I miss it, too.
Things just got weird. I mean, I got weird.
But I don't want us to ever stop talking.
I couldn't stand that.
Oh, neither could I.
And when I heard that poem...
Yeah, the poem. That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
I wrote that a long time ago.
(LAUGHS) You did?
Yeah, like way before we broke up.
So you don't have to feel weird.
(STAMMERS) And, you know... Everything's okay.
Oh, well, great.
Because, um, it would've really been awkward
knowing that you still had feelings for me.
You know, when I've clearly moved on.
Right.
So I guess we've both moved on.
Yeah.
We can just go forward as friends.
Good friends.
Hey, are we ever gonna Hey. They're not here yet.
You're kidding me! We're gonna miss the movie.
I know.
So, uh, is everything okay with you and Angela?
Yeah, we talked it out.
I told her that I wrote the poem before we broke up, and everything's okay.
Good.
Hey, wait. Shawn, is that the book you wrote the poem in?
Mmm-hmm.
Isn't that the book that I gave you for your birthday?
What's your point?
Well, my point is that you and Angela broke up before your birthday.
You couldn't have written that poem two months ago.
Shawn.
Okay. Okay. You got me.
I wrote it after we broke up.
How long after? Not long after.
How long after? I wrote it two weeks ago.
Oh, Shawn, you still do love Angela!
Okay, let's keep it down. Let's keep it down.
I can't get her out of my mind, you know?
I miss her.
I miss how she made me feel.
I miss the fact that I could tell her things
that no one else understands, not even Cory.
Well, then tell her that, Shawn. I can't tell her that.
Why not? Because I told her that I needed my space.
I told her that I wanted to meet new people. I did this.
Well, if you two love each other, you should be together.
Maybe if Angela knew how you felt... No, it's too late.
Angela's not in love with me anymore.
She told me she's over me and she just wants to be friends.
CORY: Hey!
Listen, are you okay with us all going out?
I mean, I hope I didn't mess everything up for you.
I'm okay.
You mean well. You always mean well.
You know I didn't tell Shawn about how you feel, right?
I know.
I want you to promise me, promise me you're not gonna tell anyone, even Cory.
Okay. I mean that.
Pinky swear.
I swear.
Hey, what do you swear?
I swear that I'm going to kill you if we miss this movie.
What took you guys so long?
Just tying up some loose ends. Right, Cor?
Yeah. (STAMMERS) Hey, we better get going
if we don't wanna miss this movie.
Are we okay?
You're my date, aren't you?
