Don't (2026)

[bunniefuu]

(wind blowing)

(horn blaring)

[Speaker] Oh, don't look.

(heart pounding) (high

pitched tone droning)

Morgan, you okay?

(upbeat music) (crowd chattering)

-Cheers.

-Ow.

(door creaking) (crowd chattering)

(upbeat music continues)

(lighter clicks)

Is this okay? The smoke,

it's not bothering you?

No, you're fine. (birds chirping)

-Do you smoke?

-No. I'm okay.

Thank you.

You sure? I should have asked.

No, you're fine. Really, I've never.

It's not that I wouldn't. I just haven't...

You want to try? Here.

Here we go.

Just put this between.

(lighter clicks)

Perfect. (friend coughs)

You were doing so good.

Why'd you cough?

I got nervous. (upbeat music continues)

And then I got the text

that I had been stress fully anticipating,

and I realized that I sent it to my mom.

No, you didn't. What did she say?

She said, "Morgan, why

are you telling me this?"

Yeah. So, I think I win that one.

I think you definitely win that one.

-Do you need to go?

-No.

-Why?

-Just asking.

What? What are you smiling about?

What are you smiling about?

-You?

-What about me?

I don't know.

(footsteps shuffling) (both laughing)

I owe you two cigarettes.

-Oh?

-Yeah,

because you had to put one out

and then I smoked one.

I guess we'll have to

see each other again.

I guess so.

(doors clacking)

Here I am saying the last thing

Hoping you feel the same way

It's not that you didn't

Maybe you hid it

Between the boyfriend that you had

And the cross above your bed

We were so happy

It must have been heavy

To feel the life you want

But you can't have it

Take all my love and money

Take all my kindness honey

It'll only leave you lonely

It'll only leave you lonely

I'm enough for me

I'm enough for me

I'm enough for me

I'm enough for me

Here I am feeling the wrong thing

From the way that I love

and the pain that you bring

Things I can't change

To feel the life that you want

But you can't have it

I loved you and I meant it

Even now I don't regret it

I can see you're not perfect

In fact pretty far from that

(lighter clicks)

Ow, f*ck.

(traffic roaring) (dog barking)

(peaceful electronic music)

Can I get you another coffee?

Excuse me?

-Sorry.

-No, you're fine.

Can I get you another coffee?

Oh. Yeah.

Sure. Thank you.

-See you, Cassidy.

-See you next time.

Oh, wait. No, you guys are closing.

You should probably stay

to finish your drink though.

(peaceful electronic music continues)

Do you smoke?

The guy outside earlier,

I saw you watching.

Oh. Yeah.

Well, like, I have, just once.

Didn't like it?

No, I did.

I just didn't get the

chance to do it again.

Can I ask you a, a kind of weird question?

-My favorite kind.

-Okay. Good.

So say you meet someone and you just,

you hit it off right away.

It's like perfect.

And it's just easy.

You know?

And you can't stop thinking about them.

But then you make plans

and they don't show up.

No call, no text, anything.

You know, they don't

even like give you a chance.

What do you, what would you do?

Well, I guess it depends on how cute he is.

-She.

-Even better.

Well the universe is pretty good

at putting people in and

taking people out of your life

at the right time.

So don't ignore it when it does.

(peaceful music) (person knocking)

Morgan. You look great.

Have you lost weight?

(upbeat music)

-Morgan. How are you?

-Good.

Good? Can we go

somewhere and talk in private?

Yeah.

I didn't know if you'd be here tonight,

but I figured you might be.

What have you been up to?

It's been a minute since we...

-What are you doing?

-I know,

I should have explained why I didn't.

It's fine. Really,

it's been months, so...

I just have never met someone like you

and I was afraid I was going to f*ck it up.

You really shouldn't think that way.

Most of the time my

instincts are right on that one.

What?

I don't know why we're

still talking about this.

It's not a big deal.

-No.

-No, we can,

we could just move on.

You want that, 'cause I

don't think I can do that.

Aren't you going to

follow your instincts?

Yeah.

(peaceful music)

(peaceful music continues)

Hey. Yeah, it's here.

I'll be by all day if you

want to come pick it up.

(upbeat music)

Sure. I can meet you there.

-But you guys just met?

-Well, we met in October,

but we just ran into each other last night.

-Hey. Thank you.

-Yeah. No problem.

-Okay.

-You're not going to stay?

No. I just, I though I dropped that off.

How about I beat you

in a game of pool first?

(ba*ls clacking) (upbeat music continues)

If I make this, you owe me a beer.

(ba*ls clacking)

You okay?

Why'd you leave this morning?

I don't know. I never stay.

Okay well, I thought us seeing each other

at that party meant something.

But I'm, I'm not going to waste my time

if you don't feel the same way.

I do. I do.

I got, felt nervous, but I felt it too.

Please stay.

Plus, you owe me a beer,

so you can't get out of it that easy.

(crowd chattering)

Okay. Here's that for you.

-And here's your receipt.

-Thanks.

Can you make it two, actually?

-To go.

-Yep.

(upbeat electronic music)

(upbeat electronic music continues)

(phone ringing)

-[Phone] Hey, it's Rea.

-Sorry I couldn't answer it.

Leave a message.

[Morgan] Happy birthday.

Let me know if you still want

to go out later, like we

talked about a while back.

Okay. Bye.

(upbeat electronic music continues)

(glass clacks)

(TV chattering) (traffic roaring)

(bell ringing)

(uplifting music)

(paper rustling)

-When are you smoking that?

-Later.

-Why?

-Because I like it.

-That's it?

-I mean,

-it helps with stuff.

-Like what?

I don't know. Like stress and thoughts.

What are you stressed about?

I don't know. I don't

ever let it get that far.

It's what the weed's for.

You should let it out though.

I do. With this.

I mean by talking with me.

Is that what you want?

Okay, let's see here.

What am I stressed about?

For one, this is my ex's favorite movie,

so that was pretty stressful.

-Which one?

-Ava.

How long were you two together?

Like on and off for two years.

It was toxic though.

We would just jump from

one good moment to the next

and ignore each other when it got bad.

-When?

-Right before I met you.

Do you two still talk?

She'll check in every once in a while.

Do you miss her?

I mean, the good parts, obviously.

But like I said,

it was toxic.

The fighting, the ghosting,

it was too much.

And I don't think I

could be with her again.

When was the last time you saw her?

Before I met you.

Okay.

Okay.

Do you still need that?

Not if we can change this movie.

Easy breezy. I can do that.

(suspenseful music) (TV chattering)

Good choice.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Not another ex's favorite?

-We're good.

-Not this one.

Sure. (suspenseful music continues)

[TV] Okay. I think

she's the greatest one.

She's going on a long

trip to Angel's house.

Rea says that she can't come anymore

because Cooper roped her

into some last minute theater thing.

What? What's with the face?

You'd think a couple weeks heads up

would be enough for her.

Cooper's like her best friend.

He, he always kind of comes first.

-You should come first.

-That's how a relationship works.

It's fine. It really doesn't bother me.

You've been excited.

I've been excited to meet her and...

She's just got a lot going on.

She's, she's in high demand.

Has she ever been in

a relationship this long?

What? Almost a year, you

guys have been together?

Yeah.

It was like complicated

and messed with her.

So you should cut her some slack.

I don't think she's ready for this, Morgan.

She is. She told me.

You've been giving her so many chances,

and now at this point,

it's like she's taking advantage of you.

She is not. You don't

even know her, she's not.

Exactly.

I'm just trying to look

out for you. I trust you.

-I...

-Can we just have fun?

Just us? I'm sorry.

It'll be fine and you can

meet her next time, I promise.

-My drink's empty.

-You need a new one.

-Yes.

-Even stronger?

Yes. Thank you.

(door creaking)

Babe, I told you a million

times to keep this door locked.

-Morgan?

-Gotcha.

Goofy. What are you up to?

-Oh, nothing.

-That seems like a lie.

Come here.

What is this? Is this a joke?

What?

Trying to U-Haul it?

We've been together for like a year.

I don't really think that's-

Less than a year.

You don't think that's quick?

-I thought we were ready.

-You though we were ready.

Wait, you trying to keep better tabs on me?

What? No, I just want to be with you.

I don't mind you going out

with your friends and with Cooper.

I just, I want you to come home to me.

That sounds like you don't trust me.

Is there a reason I shouldn't?

No. I just don't get

where this is coming from.

I need to know if you're ready for this.

Ready for what? To f*ck

up everything we have going?

What?

Moving in is the beginning of the end.

That's not true.

Yes, it is. That's always what happens.

What if we're better

when we move in together?

We can like, we can grow together.

So you're ready for this to end?

No.

Moving in with someone is hard,

but moving their sh*t out is even harder.

-I'm not going anywhere.

-How do you know that?

Because I know.

I believe in us.

And I love you and I want to be with you.

But then one day you

won't, and you will leave.

You told me this was real.

I just need a minute, Morgan.

(somber music)

(door creaking) (plastic rustling)

(phone ringing)

[Rea] Hey, it's Rea,

sorry I couldn't answer.

Leave a message. (phone beeps)

Hi. Can I see you?

We don't have to, we don't

have to talk or anything.

I just, I just really want to see you.

Okay. Call me back.

Bye.

(phone ringing)

-[Rea] Hey, it's Rea.

-Sorry I couldn't answer it.

Leave a message.

Hi. I thought maybe I

should give it a week or two.

Maybe a couple months like last time,

but, but I can't do this again.

I just need you to tell

me you don't want me

so that I can stop sitting up

at night waiting for your call

or waiting for you to show up at my door.

I just, I need to know

if you were ever feeling

what I was feeling this whole time.

I feel like, then what was it?

Because I can't stop thinking about us

and what we were supposed to be.

Just, I need you to just

tell me you never want to see me again

so I can move on.

Anyway I hope you're

okay and I'm here always,

til you tell me otherwise.

Bye.

(door creaking) (intense music)

(lighter clicking)

(door creaking)

When will you be back?

I don't know.

You're going to be okay, Rea.

I just need to figure it all out.

Don't leave.

You'll understand one day.

-People come and go.

-That's just the way it is.

You need to learn how to

stand on your own two feet

because no one's going to

be there to hold your hand.

I need to figure that out for myself

and you need to learn to

handle things on your own.

It's time for us to be independent.

Hey. Watching you grow up

reminding me that I didn't get to.

I don't know how to do

any of this, but I will one day,

I'll come back and everything

will be perfect, I promise.

I don't want you to leave again.

This is the last time. All right?

(kiss smacks) (insects chirping)

(somber music)

I'm fading into the night

Thoughts of you consume my mind

I can't tell if you'll stay this time

Maybe I'll run away this time

I'll be running when I know

Who else is running

I'll try with my cigarette burning

Who knows where I'm headed

Oh yeah

So save me (intense music)

(birds chirping) (fabric rustling)

[Phone] Hey, hope everything's okay.

But I'm gonna head to bed.

Let me know if something

came up or if you just forgot.

Goodnight.

(birds chirping) (intense music continues)

-You skipped it?

-I missed it.

You got that high. Rea, that's f*cked.

Don't laugh. You should call her.

And say what? Hey,

sorry I missed our date.

I got so high. I saw my demons.

Yeah, exactly. Don't do that.

Do what?

The thing where you decide

that this is just how sh*t goes

and you should just move on.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

You said she was perfect.

I was being dramatic. She's just a girl.

A girl you were head over heels for.

Do you know how many

times you texted me last week?

Oh my gosh, I have butterflies.

What's happening to me?

Oh, she's so cute. Oh my God.

-Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

-For f*ck sake,

don't pull that stunt where you tried

to strategically bump into her at a party

and pretend like it was fake.

[Rea] Cooper, that's a really good idea.

Did you come up with that?

Rea? Don't.

(intense music continues)

(door creaking)

You're cute when you're frustrated.

That's not my thing.

I know. Your thing is running away.

-What?

-You're scared.

You think everyone's gonna

leave like your mommy did.

How do you know about

that? I never told you.

You didn't have to tell me anything.

You've got mommy

issues written all over you.

It's okay. I like it.

(Rea gasps) (somber music)

(footsteps thumping)

Is my wallet by chance there?

I have a better idea. Meet me at Classics?

Right. (upbeat music)

Can I tell you something?

Last night at the party, I felt like,

like I was gonna throw up

or puke if I didn't kiss you.

-Hot.

-These last few months,

I've been imagining what it would be like

to wake up next to you.

And then this morning when you were there,

kind of felt like I was dreaming again.

-Is that crazy?

-No.

That after just like meeting

you, I was imagining us.

Mm-mm. No. Kind of hard not to.

(both laughing softly)

(peaceful music)

(Rea laughs softly)

(phone ringing)

-[Rea] Hey, it's Rea.

-Sorry I couldn't answer it.

-Leave a message.

-Happy birthday.

Let me know if you

still want to go out later,

like we talked about a while back.

Okay. Bye.

(upbeat electronic music)

Where's Morgan? Did you invite her?

Damn it Rea, don't f*ck

this up before it even starts.

It's too much, Coop.

She's got it all figured out.

I'd just pull her backwards.

-That's not true.

-Yes.

She'll see right through me

and before I know it,

she's going to realize

that I'm not good enough.

So honestly, I should just

cut it off. Probably now.

If you do that,

it will just end up the

same way it did with her.

Well, at least with her, it was easier.

She and I never let it get that deep,

but with Morgan...

You have to work for the

things that are good for you.

She's just a girl. Yeah.

Don't. Hold on.

Wait. But the, okay.

(upbeat electronic music continues)

House is ready

Come on, babe

Come on, babe

Come on, babe

Come on, babe

Come on, babe

Come on, babe

Come on, babe

Come on, babe

Come on, babe

Come on, babe

Come on, babe

Come on, babe

(upbeat electronic music continues)

Come on, babe House is ready

Come on, babe House is ready

Come on, babe House is ready

Come on, babe House is ready

Come on, babe House is ready

Come on, babe House is ready

(door creaking)

(somber music)

(somber music continues)

(somber music continues)

It takes so long to get back home

'Cause I know we gonna fight

That's the way that I

know that the love is gone

Oh, hey

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, hey

Oh, oh

Oh, hey, oh, oh

Oh hey, oh, oh

They said I'm lucky

But they don't live inside my head

It's where the demons at

It's where the demons at

They say I'm lucky

But they don't live inside my head

It's where the demons at

It's where the demons at

(spray bottle hissing)

(fabric rustling)

-Do you want to talk?

-Mm-mm.

Can I?

What's wrong with you?

We don't talk about that stuff.

I saw the letter from

your mom on the counter.

Perfect. You are all caught up.

I didn't read it.

But when you're ready,

I would really like to know what it said.

Do not hold your breath.

(somber music)

(plastic rustling)

[Morgan] I believe in us.

And I love you and I want to be with you.

[Rea] But one day

you won't. You will leave.

(metal clanging) (somber music continues)

[Morgan] I'm not going anywhere.

[Rhea] How do you know that?

[Morgan] Because I know!

(Rea breathing hard)

(somber music continues)

[Rea's Mother] This is the last time.

(Rea sniffling) (hand thudding)

(Rea sighs)

Come back and everything

will be perfect. I promise.

(Rea breathing hard)

(somber music continues)

[Rea] I don't you to leave again.

(hand slapping)

(footsteps shuffling)

[Rea] f*ck.

Hey. What's wrong?

Come on. What's wrong?

Come on.

What?

Come here.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm here.

You promise?

Yeah. Yeah, I promise.

-Let's do this.

-Do what?

Move in together.

-Can you say something?

-Yes, yes, yes, of course.

Of course you can.

(both laugh)

(footsteps shuffling) (fabric rustling)

Did you get that box off my desk?

Where?

-Here.

-Where?

-Here.

-Okay.

My dad will be here soon with the desk.

He was probably in that corner

and that's probably

him calling me right now

where is my, oh in my pocket.

Hello?

(fabric rustling)

Hey, you're here?

Wait, she's where? (dramatic music)

I don't even know what you're

expecting me to say right now.

What are you doing?

Are you reading my journal?

-What did you do?

-What are you talking about?

You slept with Ava on your birthday.

Oh my God. I don't have time for this.

You don't have time for this?

What could be more important than this?

A lot.

A lot of sh*t is more

important than this right now.

We weren't even together.

Like what did you expect me to say?

The truth, you literally

told me to my face

that you hadn't seen her

since before we were together.

Oh my God.

What? You have nothing

to say to f*cking me.

Spit it out, Rea. What?

You think I'm like your

mom and I'm going to leave?

This isn't even about her.

So what's your excuse now?

-Morgan.

-Tell me.

I can't because you're

going f*cking psycho right now.

-No, don't push me away.

-Quit hiding everything.

-You want to know?

-Yes.

My mom is in town for

the first time in 20 years

and wants to see me.

The woman who left me with all this sh*t.

And you, you're going

through my personal items.

Like this is already out of

my f*cking comfort zone

for being here.

Don't do that.

-Hey, relax.

-Don't do that.

-Don't leave.

-I can't be here right now.

This is a lot.

(door creaking) (dramatic music)

[Morgan] Hi. Can I see you?

We don't have to, we don't

have to talk or anything.

I just, I just really want to see you.

Rea, it's been weeks. Please just answer.

I don't want this to end.

Hi. I thought maybe I

should give it a week or two.

Maybe a couple months like last time,

but I can't do this again.

I just need you to tell

me you don't want me

so that I can stop sitting up

at night waiting for your call

or waiting for you to show up at my door.

I just, I need to know

if you were ever feeling

what I was feeling this whole time.

I feel like, then what was it?

Because I can't stop thinking about us

and what we were supposed to be.

Just, I need you to just tell me

you never want to see

me again so I can move on.

Anyway I hope you're okay, um,

and I'm here, always.

Till you tell me otherwise. Bye.

(intense music continues)

Mom. Yeah, dad told me you were in town.

(birds chirping) (insects droning)

(door slamming)

My God. You're beautiful.

So grown up.

You're staying at dad's?

Yeah. Just for a bit.

I'm looking for my own place in town.

Sorry, do you want some tea or?

How are you?

Don't do that.

Don't act like we can just pretend

that we're going to catch up

on what you've missed the past 20 years.

I'm sorry.

Doesn't fix anything.

Nothing will then. (insects chirping)

(footsteps shuffling) (insects chirping)

I know I can't get back what I missed,

even though I though I could back then.

Every update your dad

gave me, it was always good.

You're happy, independent.

I thought maybe you

were better off without me

because I wasn't there.

That sounds a hell of a lot easier

than taking responsibility.

You're right. I did

exactly that until now.

And now you expect

me to forgive and forget?

No. Just maybe try to understand.

Your dad told me about Morgan.

I'm not going to talk about-

And how you two almost moved in together.

I just said I don't want

to talk about that with you.

I don't want you to make

the same mistake that I did.

You don't know me. (insects chirping)

(lighter clicks) (insects chirping)

She's better off without me.

Just like you were better off without me?

Look, if I could go back

and change one thing,

I wouldn't change the fact that I left you.

I needed that and I'd do it again,

but if I could change anything

I'd come back sooner

to grow with you instead of without you.

I used to think that I

needed to push people away

so that I didn't hurt them.

I was afraid I was going

to ruin your chances

of being better than I was.

I just wanted you to be there.

And that's exactly

why you can't leave her.

She deserves so much.

So do you.

(Rea knocking) (door creaking)

What are you doing?

I just want to talk.

I came to tell you everything.

Like last time?

(door creaking)

I know I hurt you.

I've just had a lot going on.

I want to forget you, Rea.

You only show up when

you have nowhere else to go.

I don't know how to do this.

What, care for someone besides yourself?

I've waited for you for months.

But I'm here now telling you.

I know, but this is what you do though.

You're going to just,

you're going to say

everything I want to hear.

And then I'm going to look at you.

And I'm going to want to run back.

Because I'm a piece of sh*t.

I'm f*cked up, and I f*ck everything up,

just like I told you when I met you.

Yeah. Yeah, you did.

I guess I should have listened to you.

You know, all this time I've been,

I've been imagining this

and trying to figure out the magical thing

that you could say that would

make everything just better.

But there's nothing you could say.

We're just not meant to be.

You believe that? I love you.

You don't get to say that to me!

Don't you dare say unto me.

You love me?

Please go. I never want to see you again.

Just go. Please go.

f*ck. f*ck.

(door creaking) (Morgan sobbing)

(dramatic music continues)

(lighter clicking)

(footsteps shuffling)

(traffic roaring)

-Hey, sorry I'm late.

-Oh no, you're fine.

Oh, I checked them out like 15 times.

And I swear the

restaurant is on this corner.

-Here, let me take a look.

-Yeah, good luck.

Oh, don't look.

(dramatic music)

Morgan, you okay?

(dramatic music continues)

Send it to you

-You okay?

-Yeah.

You still thinking about who we saw today?

I was not expecting that.

Quite the way to start

a first date, I think.

She has impeccable timing.

I'm sorry.

Oh, don't be. I'm giving you a hard time.

Do you remember what I

told you when we first met?

-About Rea?

-Yeah.

So you remember how I said

the universe is pretty good

at putting people in your life

for a reason.

Maybe two still have something to work out.

And I'm not going to stop you.

I think it was just one of

those crazy coincidences.

Besides if, if I didn't want

to. I'm blocked anyway, so.

And I have better things to

do, like making today up to you.

-Right?

-I agree.

Yes.

I guess we'll have to go out again.

I guess so.

(peaceful music)

(upbeat rock music) (phone ringing)

-What was that?

-Nothing.

-At least had to try.

-Oh my God.

She didn't answer just like I thought.

Good. Probably for the best.

Probably doesn't have my number saved.

That or maybe the girlfriend k*lled her.

Are you almost done?

Yes. But I want two

of those waiting for me.

And I expect your a*s to be here.

I have nothing better to do.

Wow. You make me feel so special.

You should.

I just can't get rid of you

ever since you stopped

getting blazing high.

Speaking of four months?

-Four months?

-Keep it that way.

Can you hurry up a little?

[Speaker] My time. I

just love working so much.

(upbeat rock music continues)

(phone ringing)

-Hello?

-Hey. You called?

Yeah. How are you?

(Rea knocking)

(window whirring)

-Hi.

-Hi.

(door clacking)

-How are you?

-Good. You?

Good. Sorry.

Thank you for agreeing to meet with me.

I'm sure you were busy,

but when I saw you.

I had to tell you I'm sorry.

I probably should have

started with that last time.

It's okay.

No, but really I'm really sorry

for always disappearing.

You did not deserve that.

I - - Don't even have

to say anything.

I, I'm sorry too.

Last time we talked,

I didn't really let you say much.

I was just really hurt and

really overwhelmed when...

Me too.

I hope I'm not crossing

any boundaries being here.

No. Thank you for apologizing.

Of course.

I just didn't know what

Cassidy would think of this.

Not that I should assume.

It just, it looks like you

two have gotten closer.

No, we're, we're not dating.

Really? Okay, that's a surprise.

It, she's always...

That's bold of you.

She's always had her sights on you.

She's always been there.

I'm sure she's not fond of this thing.

I haven't told her.

There's nothing to worry about.

Just some catching up and getting closure.

I should probably go.

Rea. I still owe you the two cigarettes.

That's right. I guess we'll

have to see each other again.

(both laughing)

(door thuds)

-Morgan.

-Oh my God, Cooper. Hey.

-Hi. How are you?

-Really good. You?

[Cooper] Good yeah,

you waiting on someone?

Oh no, it's just for my coworker.

-Gotcha. What'd you get?

-Chai latte.

Sounds like someone else's favorite.

-Coincidence.

-Speaking of,

I heard you guys bumped

into each other last week.

-Yeah, briefly.

-Can I be honest with you?

Rea's doing a lot better

since you guys split.

I don't mean that in a bad way,

just that I think what

you guys went through

was really good for her.

-Yeah, yeah. I agree.

-Knew you would.

(peaceful music)

What are you doing here?

I, I was in the neighborhood

and I thought you might want a coffee.

How do you know I worked here?

I just got my license a couple months ago.

Oh I saw the... Hey, Rea,

can you come back here

and sign these for me?

-Oh, sorry.

-That's okay.

Yeah, I'll be right back there.

Oh, yeah. Take your time.

-Hey, Morgan.

-Hi, Ava.

She helped me get into

the office. Got my license.

Yeah, I bet she did.

No, I'm sorry. Whatever works.

I mean, we've talked about everything.

We're on the same page. It's-

It doesn't matter.

I'm not your girlfriend.

I remember.

I'm really proud of you.

Anyway I saw the post on

social media when you got hired.

Didn't know you still follow me.

I don't. Okay.

Well, thank you. For the coffee.

-Yeah. Yeah.

-We still on for tonight?

That is the plan.

(upbeat music)

What? You don't want it?

Don't tell me you quit. You're lying.

-When?

-Since that night.

Cigarettes, weed, you name it.

It was kind of my way of escaping.

I knew from that night I was done running.

That makes a lot of sense.

I think about that night a lot.

And I'm just like, you know, I wonder.

Don't do that.

We can't think of it that way.

Maybe it was meant to be.

Yeah. You're right.

(peaceful music)

(peaceful music continues)

(peaceful music continues)

(people speaking distantly)

(Morgan knocks)

Morgan.

You weren't responding to my text,

so I just wanted to come check on you.

(door clacks)

-Oh.

-Mom, this is Morgan.

-Now, I understand. Hi.

-Hi.

Good to finally meet you. I've heard a lot.

I didn't mean to interrupt.

No, thank you, actually.

If we would have kept blabbering,

I would have missed the bus.

Which are you sure you don't

want me to take you to work?

No, you have better

things to take care of.

I hope to see you again soon, Morgan.

-It was nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you too.

-I am so sorry.

-For what?

For showing up here out of nowhere.

I had no idea she was going to be here.

That's okay. Can I get

you something to drink?

What is wrong?

I'm totally f*cking this up for you.

You have this great

relationship with your mom

and you stopped smoking.

You're like 10 times

better since you left me.

I didn't leave you.

Look, I knew I had to do those things

because if I ever wanted to be good enough

for someone like you, I had to change.

So I mean, if anything, I

should be thanking you.

-I should go.

-You don't have to.

No, I'm, I'm sorry for just showing up.

I'll see you.

(door clacks) (somber music)

(water splashing) (plates clacking)

(dramatic music)

You ready? (dramatic music continues)

Will you grab my bag?

(dramatic music continues) (door creaking)

-You coming?

-Yeah.

(dramatic music continues) (door creaking)

(suspenseful music)

Have you talked to Rea recently?

No.

-Why?

-Just wondering.

Do you want to talk to her?

It's fine if you do.

I just sort of feel like we used to...

As in, I'm here for you

while your focus is on her.

She's been checking in.

Yeah, I know.

Just wanted you to know that

you're allowed to go

figure out what she is to you.

I just don't want to be back up.

(footsteps crunching)

(Morgan sighs)

(dramatic music)

Hey can you tell Cass I'm here?

She didn't come in today,

she said she wasn't feeling well.

Do you still want to order something?

Yeah, can I get a chai latte?

Yeah, absolutely.

(somber music)

(person knocking)

What's wrong?

What if we were going to work it out?

What if you were gonna

explain everything to me,

and, and I would have believed you

and then you would have stayed

and everything would have been fine?

Kind of just said like, I can't help

but think that I really

messed everything up for us.

And I just feel like us seeing

each other that was like,

I don't know, it was

like fate or something.

So what if...

(peaceful music)

(door creaking) (peaceful music continues)

(peaceful music continues)

(birds chirping)

(uplifting music)

Good morning. (uplifting music continues)

-How are you feeling?

-I can't explain it.

-Me either.

-Text me when you get home.

Awesome.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

(door clacking)

(intense music)

(objects clattering)

(intense music continues)

(object clattering)

(intense music continues)

It's coop, hey.

-Who'd you think it was?

-You know what?

-I don't know.

-Really?

Because Ava asked if Morgan and I

were taking turns delivering you gifts.

-No, everything's fine.

-Did you smoke?

I just got a little overwhelmed

and a little nervous.

I don't know what came over me.

-Morgan, that's what.

-It will always be her.

-Give me the coffee.

-Thanks for the coffee.

Really?

We're, everything is fine.

I, we, I made her breakfast.

When have you ever seen me do that?

Right.

The relationship you two

have is built on bad habits.

And when you try to move past these habits,

you just end up falling back on old ones.

I guarantee you she's doing

the same thing right now.

(dramatic music)

-Can we talk?

-Is that what you do, right?

Told you to figure out and let me know.

Not disappear and let me

know when you're done.

Please don't leave.

I've been here from the start, Morgan.

-I've waited.

-I know you have.

Yet you just keep me on a string

waiting to see if you

can play with both of us?

I didn't know what I wanted. I thought-

You don't think. That's your problem.

You just feel.

You think with your

heart and not your head.

And then you just get so

blinded by the idea of her

that you don't realize how toxic you get.

I'm sorry.

I really hoped that

you wouldn't become her,

but I have to do what you couldn't.

(door creaking) (dramatic music continues)

(suspenseful music)

(traffic roaring)

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

I smoked today when you left.

Cassidy left.

I though that you two weren't...

We weren't. But...

What now?

I don't know.

Right now I, I don't feel anything.

Did we just switch roles?

-What?

-Seriously,

I'm feeling so much right

now and you're numb.

I guess so. (somber music)

I still remember the first time

I started feeling everything.

When I met you,

I felt an energy I had never felt before.

Fear, probably.

I though for a second I couldn't breathe.

Smoking didn't even help.

Only one thing ever truly did.

Being with you. Talking to you.

Close to you.

But then I'd see you

and that f*cking fear that you would leave

and I would be left feeling nothing again.

When I said I loved you,

that was the first time I ever felt it.

You know? I was scared too.

The first time I met you,

I couldn't stop my hands from shaking.

You were so, so cool.

So confident.

I couldn't believe you were looking at me

the way I was looking at you.

I though about us all the time.

All day, all night,

I would just go over in my head

everything that I did wrong.

Everything I did to push you away

or to make you keep running.

I though about it all.

The good parts, hopefully.

I thought about all of it.

I wouldn't want to forget any part of it.

What do you think of now?

What do you think of us?

I don't know. (somber music continues)

Me either.

Do you still have those cigarettes?

(both laughing)

Yes. (somber music continues)

(zipper rasping)

-I got it.

-Okay.

(lighter clicks) (somber music continues)

(traffic roaring) (somber music continues)

(kiss smacks)

Is this what you imagined?

In a way. Yeah.

I love you.

I love you too. (upbeat rock music)

Say what you mean, or

why don't you go home

It's getting old though,

this talking backwards

And it's like I'm

always on your own side

Always on your bad side

Got a twist to my back

Trying to get away

from all the loving you

[Rea] I didn't know if

you'd be here tonight,

but I figured you might be.

What have you been up to?

It's been a minute since

we... What are you doing?

I know I should have

explained why I didn't.

I still remember the first time

I started feeling

everything when I met you.

Before I know it, she's going to realize

that I'm not good enough.

So honestly, I should just,

I had to do those things

because if I ever wanted to be good enough

for someone like you, I had to change.

-I need you.

-People come and go.

That's just the way it is.

[Rea] I'm here now telling you.

I never want to see you

again just go, please go.

Whenever I try to leave you

I feel you with a hand on your thighs

-I owe you two cigarettes.

-Watching the sunrise

I thought I was seeing each other

at that party meant something.

-I'm not going anywhere.

-How do you know that?

Because I know!

I need to know if you were ever feeling

what I was feeling this whole time.

Someone else to get high with

When I'm leaving, you

finally start to mean it

Say what you mean, or won't you go home

[Rea] What do you think of now?

What do you think of us?

Talking backwards

And inside, I'm always on your own side

Always on your bad side

Gotta twist in my back

Tryna get a refund

For all that loving you has

(traffic rumbling) (footsteps thumping)

(birds chirping) (upbeat music)

Oh, eh, oh, oh

Oh, eh, oh, oh

Oh, eh, oh, oh

Oh, eh, oh, oh

Oh, eh, oh, oh

Oh, eh, oh, oh

Oh, eh, oh, oh

It takes so long to get back home

'Cause I know we gonna fight

That's the way that I

know that the love is gone

It takes so long to get back home

'Cause I know we gonna fight

That's the way that I

know that the love is gone

They said I'm lucky

But they don't live inside my head

It's where the demons at

It's where the demons at

They say I'm lucky

But they don't live inside my head

It's where the demons at

It's where the demons at

They said I'm lucky

But they don't live inside my head

It's where the demons at

It's where the demons at

They say I'm lucky

But they don't live inside my head

It's where the demons at

It's where the demons at

Oh, eh, oh, oh

Oh, eh, oh, oh

Oh, eh, oh, oh

Oh, eh, oh, oh

It's where the demons at

Oh, eh, oh, oh

Oh, eh, oh, oh

Oh, eh, oh, oh

Oh, eh, oh, oh

It's where the demons at

It takes so long to get back home

'Cause I know we gonna fight

That's the way that I

know that the love is gone

It takes so long to get back home

'Cause I know we gonna fight

That's the way that I

know that the love is gone
