- I'm Rue.
- I'm Jules.
- Where are you headed to?
- Home probably.
- Can I come with you?
(upbeat music)
It was the first day of school, my heart was racing.
I had made a new best friend
and for the first time since getting out of rehab,
I was feeling good about the world.
You wanna come over for dinner tonight?
- I wish, but my dad wants to have
like a capital F, capital D family dinner.
- Well, um what about later?
- Probably gonna do some homework,
binge-watch some "Madoka Magica."
- Okay, well, uh maybe you could come over Sunday night
'cause my mom's like asking me and stuff.
(upbeat music)
- Are you talking to your mama about me?
- No.
(Jules chuckles)
Shut up.
(Jules chuckles)
- Bye Rue.
- Bye.
Oh, I'm such a loser.
- [Jules] Tyler wants to meet.
- Like for real?
- [Jules] Yeah.
- In like person?
- [Jules] Yeah.
- That's cool. Where?
- The lake.
- When?
- On Saturday after the carnival.
- Like at night?
- Of course, yeah.
- Jules you don't think that maybe you should like meet him
at the carnival? Like in public?
- I mean, we can't. Like he's a jock,
his mom is super conservative,
it's like a tough situation it doesn't work.
- Honestly Jules I don't really care about the situation
because it just doesn't seem safe, okay.
It seems insane.
- Out of everyone in the world I wanted to tell you
'cause I thought you'd be happy.
(footsteps)
(somber music)
- Hey, um
(somber music)
you have to understand that
I just want you to be safe, okay.
I just, I don't want anything bad to happen to you.
(somber music)
(crying) And, you know you just can't be mad at me
for wanting you to be okay.
(crying) Because I'm being anxious you know.
(crying) Just that it hurts my heart too much
and I just I...
- I'm not mad at you.
- (crying) You're the best thing that's happened to me
in a really long time and I, I just
I just don't want anything bad to happen.
(crying) So just please don't be mad at me, okay Jules,
just don't be mad.
- I'm sorry.
(somber music)
I get it.
I love you. I really do.
(somber music)
- (crying) I love you too.
(somber music)
- (laughing) You're a mess you know that.
- So are you.
- I hate everyone else in the world but you.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry I should go.
(footsteps)
(door bangs)
(upbeat music)
Can we just pretend like what I did wasn't super weird?
- It wasn't weird.
- It was weird but we don't have to talk about it.
(upbeat music)
- Talk about what?
- Nothing.
- Right.
(upbeat music)
- Rue seems really good, it's 'cause of you, you know.
(upbeat music)
- Um, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
- Okay.
(upbeat music)
(door clanks)
(upbeat music)
- Wow (chuckles) you look (beep) amazing.
- Thank you. I don't really feel it but you know.
(footsteps)
Did all this happened because I left?
- No.
- You promise.
- Yeah, I promise.
I've been like this my whole life Jules.
Not all the time, but sometimes.
You make me better though.
- Can I ask you a question?
- Yeah.
- Why don't you kiss me?
- I kiss you (chuckles) .
- No, why don't you like kiss, kiss me?
- Um, I mean, do you want me to like kiss, kiss you?
(somber music)
- I want you to wanna kiss me so bad
that you don't even ask.
(somber music)
- Are you um, are you in love with me?
(somber music)
- Yeah.
- Do you not wish I was different?
(somber music)
(footsteps)
Jules I don't think this is a good idea.
- Rue it was your idea.
- I know it was my idea
but I just I don't think it's a good idea anymore
is what I'm trying to tell you.
- (laughs) It's a (beep) great idea
I don't know what you're talking about.
- Can you, can you slow down 'cause I'm thinking
you know my mom I don't want her to (beep) freak out
alright. I don't Ju...
- Rue, it's not that far and like we're good
it's you, we can call.
- Okay, what am I gonna tell Gia though?
You know like she's gonna wake up in the (beep) morning
and she's gonna think I'm missing.
- We're good, c'mon. It's gonna be amazing
(somber music)
Rue (chuckles) .
(somber music)
Hey.
(somber music)
(Rue cries)
(somber music)
Please. I love you.
(somber music)
(train engine revving)
Hey everyone I'm Rue, I'm an addict.
- [Crowd] Hey Rue.
- I met someone and she's helped.
And now I want to stay clean.
And (beep) maybe that's, maybe that's me being selfish
you know and Ali just scared the (beep) out of me
'cause he told me that it wasn't gonna last (chuckles) .
And you know what, maybe you're right.
(somber music)
But I really, really, really hope you're wrong.
(somber music)
'Cause I've been clean for 13 days (chuckles) .
It's been okay.
I've actually been really happy.
So, yeah, I don't know, I guess that's why
I wanted to come here and tell you guys the truth.
(somber music)
Thank you.
(somber music)
(crowd claps) Thank you.
