01x12 - Friends

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "felicity"...

I like the dancing sandwich
maker who hates halloween,

The jazz freak who thinks
charlie parker's overrated.

The elena I do have some
trouble with, however,

Is the one who
pushes people away

Because she's so damn scared to
admit she might actually like them.

I found out my birth
mom's name last year,

And... She lives in new york.

Is...

I mean, that's not...
Why you came here?

[Mid-tempo
instrumental music plays]

What?

Excuse me...

Do you know... Are these
books actually in order,

Or is this some form
of freshman hazing?

I'm working, miss lavender
sweater, army pants, big hair.

What?

This is my space... My workspace.
Go make out somewhere else.

Uh, maybe... Maybe
you didn't hear me.

Um, I'm just... I'm
looking for a book.

Sideburns, jeans, olive shirt...

Okay, i-i'll go.

Gold ring?

Oh. Noel...

And... And me... Making
out during finals.

Were you...

Trying to study?

Yeah.

Sorry.

Wow, you remember me?

I need my space. People
keep taking my space.

Oh, right, sorry. Enjoy it,
please. Enjoy your space.

That was my space.

That's... That's great. Um...

That's...

That's blair.

And not elena.

Dear sally...

One of the things that
I've noticed about college

Is that people's lives are always
happening right in front of you.

I mean, y-you see how
they eat, how they sleep.

Meghan sleeps butt
naked, by the way.

I mean, you see
their relationships,

Who they're kissing.

And, you know, suddenly
you find yourself

In the middle of
someone else's life,

Whether you want to be or not.

What if one of your friends
saw me kissing another guy?

I'm sorry, what?

Uh, what if one of your friends
saw me kissing another guy?

Y-you kissed another guy?

This is a hypothetical.

Oh.

So, say one of your friends...

Who?

Just a friend of yours.

No, who... Who...
Were you kissing?

Oh, my god.

Okay, say one of your
hypothetical friends

Saw me hypothetically kissing

Some hypothetical guy. Mm-hmm.

Would... Would you want
him to tell you about it?

No. No?

No. Oh.

Yeah... No.

And why... I'm just curious...

Are we talking about this,

'Cause it's giving
me a headache.

I saw blair kissing
some girl in the stacks.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

And it wasn't just
a goodbye kiss

That was supposed
to be on the cheek

But accidentally
ended up on the lips?

'Cause... 'Cause that happened
to me and my mom once,

And it was really
awkward... It was like, "mom..."

Noel...

I don't think you
should tell her.

If it were me, I'd want to know.

Nuh... You say that,
but getting in the middle

Of these things
can... Can be ugly.

I know. Trust me.

There's a reason there's not
some phrase like "guess what?"

Or a funny thing
that you can use

At the beginning of the sentence

"Your boyfriend's
cheating on you,"

Because it would just make
it way too easy to just say it.

I understand covalent
bonds just fine,

But when he goes into that electron-sharing
business and energy levels,

I'm like, "how do you
share electrons?"

I mean...

Why are you so quiet?

You're never quiet.

Funny thing... Uh...

What is?

Nothing. It's not funny.

Yesterday, i-i was
up in the stacks.

I was looking for this
faulkner book, um...

Anyway, it wasn't where
it was supposed to be. Um...

Could my ancient-religions
professor be any older?

I swear the man was busing
tables at the last supper.

See, now, that is wrong.

I am not lying. [Chuckles]

Hey.

Hi.

Tara, this is felicity.
Felicity, this is tara.

This is my girl from way back.

Yeah.

[Both laugh]

She transferred
here this semester.

Elena's talked a lot about you.

It's good to put a
face to the name.

Yeah... Or a name to a face.

So, anyway, I have gained 5
pounds since I've been here.

What's up with
that? All that pizza.

Mmm. Well, I'm not
giving that up, see?

[Laughs]

[Indistinct conversations]

Man: I've been waiting
for this, like, so long.

Julie: I found her.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You
found your birth mom?

Yeah. I cannot believe this.

I have been looking
for her for so long,

And this guy, he finds
her... In four days.

What guy?

[Sighs] this investigator
guy I found on the internet.

See, i-i didn't even know
you were looking for her.

I told you that I had her name,

Which isn't even
her married name.

It's... It's anderson...
Carol anderson.

She owns this
architectural firm,

She's 36, 5'9", brown
hair, brown eyes...

God.

When she gave me up,
she was 18, in college.

Okay, so what proof do you
have that this is really her?

[Horn honks in distance]

I guess he just found my original
birth certificate or something.

I don't know. I don't
know. I don't care.

I know. I know you
don't. I just mean...

I just want to be sure
that this is really...

I'm sure.

Okay.

This has got to be really
weird, reading all this.

[Gasps softly]

It feels so different now
that she's this real person.

[Sighs]

So, what are you gonna do now?

I go knock on the door.

Just like that?

Just like what?

No, I just mean, what
happens, you know,

What happens if she...

What happens if she
doesn't want to see me?

Yeah.

Well, she didn't give me a
choice when she gave me up.

Why should she get a choice now?

[Mechanism grinding] come on!

Come on!

[Banging on glass] come on!

What the hell is going on?!

Whrrrrr!

Uh, come again?

That's the sound of my
almond joy not dropping.

That's pretty good.

Hey, stop it, man!

You said you were getting money
for a new machine, like, a month ago.

These are the new machines.

What? These are
used! They're junk!

No, "refurbished" I
believe is the term.

And... And I got a deal on them.

Oh, so instead of buying
one new machine that works,

You buy two crappy-ass
machines that don't?

It felt good at the time.

Man, you are so
unfit to be an r.a.

I can't wait for evaluations.

Sensa: I can do it.

What?

[Pager beeps] get a new machine.

My cousin yuri can get anything.

Yeah, we tried that once,

And a kid almost d*ed of
estonian-chocolate poisoning.

You need machines.
Yuri can help.

He likes you.

I'm flattered, but I can figure
this one out on my own, thank you.

You get a cut of the
profits with yuri's machine.

I can't... Is that legal?

[Pager beeps]

Come into my family's
warehouse, meet with yuri.

He'll hook you up.

Your family's warehouse.
Why can't he come here?

This is business. We do
business a certain way.

And... And what way is that?

The family way.

[Mid-tempo rock music plays]

[Indistinct conversations]

Hey.

[Letters drop]

Oh. Hey.

[Chuckles] thanks.

Yeah.

Hey.

What's up?

What do you mean?

I mean, are we cool?

I-i just have a class.

Oh.

So we are cool?

Blair, I saw you.

Saw me what?

Kissing tara in the
stacks yesterday.

And maybe you saw me, too,

Which is why you keep
asking if we're cool.

Is this why you're trippin'?

I wasn't even in the
library yesterday.

Blair, I saw you.

You're really serious?

Felicity, for real,
I wasn't there.

Okay, if you supposedly saw
me, how come I didn't see you?

Because you were turned around.

So you see the back
of some brother's head,

And of course it has to be me.

Whatever.

[Elevator dings]

Well, I'm glad you
didn't say anything,

'Cause I'm seeing really, really
ugly things happening now.

I know.

Like scratching
and hair pulling.

The... The craziest thing is that if I
would have never seen blair kiss tara,

I would have met her and we
probably would have become friends.

And she'd be kissing me now.

All right, really bad joke.

[Elevator dings]

Hey.

Hi.

You could make a lot of money
selling your hair. I know some people.

I'll... Keep that in mind.

So, where are we headed?

Brighton beach.

Okay, how many trains is that?

No trains. My cousin's
got a gypsy cab.

Of course he does.

[Felicity clears throat]

[Chuckles]

Julie: okay, so I'm gonna take
the 6th train up to 77th street,

Or I could take the
express up to 86th street,

But then I would have to walk.

Look, why don't
you just take a cab?

Because I'd like
to eat this week.

No, I'm serious. Here.
It's just a lot easier.

Ben, I'm not gonna
take your money.

There. You just paid me back.

[Laughs softly]

I want to say good luck, but I don't
even know if that's right. I don't know.

You know, it's gonna be like
meeting an aunt that I've never met,

Or a cousin, you know?

Oh, my god! Look at my
hair! It looks like crap!

Look at this. I look like
I'm freaking 12 years old.

Look... You look great.

Really?

Yes.

But I'd put the
little thingies back.

I want you to come with me.

Will you?

Yeah.

Okay.

Hold this.

Of course.

For a second.

All right.

All right.

You know, this is how sean
gets ready every morning.

You're kidding me.

Yes, I'm kidding you.

[Laughs]

[Indistinct conversations]

What are you doing?

So this is it... Your
family's warehouse?

Yeah. Noel, before we go in,
I should tell you something.

My family, they worry about
me being alone in school.

Really?

Yeah, I'm the only girl.

So I figure... They see you,
they won't worry so much.

Wow. Well, yeah. Thank you.

I like to think I'm
a damn good r.a.

I told them you
were my boyfriend.

Because why?

Because you're a nice guy.

Who has a girlfriend.

I know.

Okay, so tell me
that you're joking.

All those pages I get...
It's them checking on me.

This gets them off my back and
you, a great deal on vending machines.

It's a win-win.

Okay, what about
my self-respect?

You get it back in an hour.

[Man speaking latin american language
indistinctly on television, crowd shouting]

[Translation] look...
There he goes!

[Translation] there he
goes. Didn't I tell you?

Man: [translation]
my little one!

Papa! [Translation] hello.

[Both smooch]

[Man laughing]

Papa, this is noel.

Hi.

Noelle!

[Laughs, smooches]

Sensa told us so much about you.

Oh... It's... It's
"noel," actually.

And it's all true, I'm sure.

The fire.

Yeah.

Ah, yes... The fire.

Fire?

Yeah, in the dormitory.

You took our sensa, put her
on your back, and got to safety.

Ahh. [Laughs]

She told you. That's great.

Ahh! Oh! Sensa, you told him.

[Pager beeps]

Oh. Excuse me.

Vladim... You are a hero.

I-i'm not.

You are.

Okay. [Laughs]

Okay! Ha. Right. Thanks.

I'm... Uh, I'm just gonna go...

Uh, sensa!

Man: noelle!

♪ ...the magic spell ♪

Noelle.

"Noel."

It's... It's "noel."

Hi. Uh, I'm...

Sit, sit!

Okay, hi. Hi.

Oh. Ahh!

I win! [Chuckles]

That... That was fun. Thanks.

Leonid, give him a chance.

Okay. Best 9 of 10.

Ahh! That doesn't...
That doesn't make sense,

But that was good.

How do you lift
sensa with that arm?

Uh...

[Laughter]

One more time. One more.

He is not afraid. Okay.

One, two, three.

Ahh! Sensa!

[Indistinct conversations]

[Horn honks]

That's a nice brownstone.

Yeah.

I bet you she has a maid or something
that would answer the door.

[Laughs] maybe. Maybe, yeah.

You know, I don't even know what we're doing
here right now. This is the middle of the day.

She's, like, this big
architect person... With a life.

Julie, it is completely
normal to be scared.

[Horn honks]

People on "ricki lake," when they
first meet, they just start bawling.

And I just... I don't want to do
that when I see her, you know?

Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

Or maybe she'll just
slam the door in my face.

You know what?

I saw a pay phone on the corner.

If you want, you
can call her first.

Or I can do it, or whatever...
Whatever you need.

What would I say? She's
not even looking for me.

You... You don't
know that, though.

Yes, I do.

The adoption agency told me

That the only way that I can look at
my records is if she was looking for me.

[Inhales deeply]

I-i don't want to do this.

What? I don't. I ca... Let's go.

I thought you
really... I don't want to.

I thought you really wanted to
do th... Let's just go. Let's just go.

Fire is everywhere.

Smoke is... It's... It's
everywhere also.

And we're on the seventh
floor, and we're trapped.

And then I remember

That the dumpsters
haven't been emptied yet.

They get emptied tomorrow,
and they're right below my window.

So i-i-i grab sensa.

How?

Okay.

How?

I'll show you.

[Lounge music playing]

What?

Noel! Whoo!

Like this.

[Grunting]

And we leap to safety.

[Translation] to the hero!

The hero!

[Indistinct
conversation in russian]

Um, where's yuri? He's stuck in jersey.
But he said we could meet tomorrow.

What?!

That was his page
when we walked in.

De... Uh... That was
two hours ago.

That was seven...
Seven sausages ago.

I thought you were having fun.

[Scoffs]

[Lounge music continues]

[Laughter]

No, I think they're talking about
adding the catalyst to the reagent.

[Knock on door] they're not
talking about adding the catalyst...

Turn on hot 97!

Tara, we're trying to study.

It's our jam!

[Rap music playing]

Hey! You remember that?

[Laughter]

Okay, ready?

Five, six, seven, eight.
Five, six, seven, eight.

And in.

You're supposed to turn!

All right, all
right, okay, okay.

Hey!

Five, six, seven, eight.
Five, six, seven, eight.

And turn.

Hey!

[Laughs]

All freestyle!
Freestyle! Whoo, whoo!

Hey, girl, come on.

Come on!

You know, I read somewhere
that eyewitness testimony

Is sometimes the most unreliable
because of the human factor.

I mean, would I bet my life
that it was blair in the stacks?

No.

And... And elena
seems really happy.

So what I'm thinking
is... With things like this,

The truth usually comes
out on its own, whatever it is,

So I'm just gonna
stay out of it.

Oh. You're back!

I'm back.

Mmm.

[Laughs]

[Laughing] are... Are you drunk?

No.

Yes, but it's...
It's not my fault.

They wanted me
to feel like family,

Which is apparently with
vodka and lots of sausage.

And sensa's never brought
a boyfriend around before.

Oh, wait. What?

Yeah, I had to... I had to
pretend to be her boyfriend

So I could get, you know, a good
deal on... On a vending machine.

Uh, and yuri never
even showed up,

So I got to go back and do the
whole thing again tomorrow.

Look, don't be jealous.

I'm sure I'm supposed to
be, but it's just too sad.

Not even a little?

[Laughing] sorry.

Felicity?

Can I talk to you?

Sure.

Felicity: the only time I've ever
been sent to the principal's office

Was in the fourth grade.

This boy kept calling
me "fellatio porter,"

And even though I didn't
know what that meant,

I put 27 packets of salt
into his orange-juice cup.

I remember that feeling of
walking into the unknown.

I think the anticipation was
almost scarier than anything else.

Almost.

You saw blair and
tara kiss in the stacks.

Is that a question
or a statement?

Blair says you saw them.

[Exhales sharply] I
said she saw a mistake.

I already heard from you.

But you're not hearing me.

Tara was upset
about her breakup.

I was trying to
make her feel better.

She went to kiss me on the
cheek, and it ended up on the lips.

And, yeah, it took us a
second to pull away, but we did.

Show me.

What?

Show me how a mistake
like that happens.

Elena, you're trippin'!

Prove it!

[Tara scoffs]

This is stupid.

Fine.

We're talking...

I turn my head...

I lean in like this...

When I turn back...

That's it.

Is that what you saw?

Um...

I-i don't know.

You don't know?

I mean, I'm... I'm
trying to remember.

Look, I'm sorry I lied about
being there, but I panicked.

Felicity?

Maybe.

I mean, it... It... It
could have been.

[Sighs]

It happened with noel
and... And his mom once.

Wait.

What?

[Snack drops]

Of course.

I never pictured you
as a payday kind of guy.

You... You picture me?

What? No.

Um... I just... I needed
something to say,

And that's, unfortunately,
what... Came together.

Right. No, they're for
julie. She loves these things.

Oh. Yeah.

All right, I'll see
you later. All right.

[Rock music plays]

[Coins rattle]

[Beep, mechanism grinding]

[Beep, mechanism grinding]

[Beep, mechanism grinding]

[Beep, beep, beep;
mechanism grinding]

[Man talking
indistinctly in distance]

[Sighs]

[Siren wails in distance]

[Knock on door]

What?

Hey, it's payday.

[Door closes]

There.

Thanks.

So, you didn't
come by last night.

Yeah, I felt like just
hanging around the dorm.

Right.

I've just been thinking a lot
about what happened yesterday.

Yeah, I freaked out
a little bit, that's all.

Yeah, I know.

Listen, I know how hard it must be
to know where she lives. I know that.

I just... I think you got to
take some time off from this.

Some time off?

Yeah, or, you know, you should
write her a letter or something

Instead of just
showing up at her door.

Yeah, well, you know
what? I've been doing that.

I've been sitting
here for an hour,

And all I can come up
with is, "dear carol, i..."

Right, I think that's good... I think
it's good that you're doing that,

That you're trying to make
some sort of connection.

Ben, look, I have
thought about this a lot...

Definitely more than you...

So thank you for your insight,
but this is not your problem.

Not my problem?

All I keep hearing you say is "wait"
and "what if" and "are you sure?"

Listen to me... That's
because I'm worried about you.

I care about what
happens to you.

All the stuff that's already
happened to you, what if...

What if you show up at her
door and she rejects you?

How are you gonna
be able to handle that?

[Inhales sharply]

Ben...

I don't know how I would have gotten through
all that stuff that happened with zack.

You have been... Incredible.

But this is different, okay?

[Man talking
indistinctly in distance]

Okay.

[Door closes]

[Sighs]

[Indistinct conversations]

Good morning.

So, check this.

Joshua redman's playing
at station 4 tomorrow night,

And I got us two tickets

Because I figure at a jazz club,
you won't even have to talk to me,

Since you're obviously
still a little heated.

We'll just... Bob our heads.

Elena...

How long are you gonna
keep kicking me to the curb?

[Silverware clanking]

Until I can get the picture

Of you and tara taking a second
to pull away out of my head.

[Knock on door]

[Door opens]

Hey. Hey!

God, I feel like I haven't
seen you in forever.

I know.

And, of course,
now I'm running off

To a study session with elena.

Can you tell me why you make
tapes to sally instead of writing?

Oh.

I-i guess because...

It's just easier for me to...

Express what I'm really feeling

When I just talk, you know?

I don't... I don't censor
myself like I do when I write.

Um...

Can I borrow your tape recorder?

Sure. What's going on?

It's... It's a long story, but I'll tell
you about it over breakfast tomorrow.

Okay. [Laughs]

[Tape recorder clicks] sally, uh,
I'm gonna have to end this one early.

I'm lending my tape
recorder to julie.

Say hi to sally.

Hi, sally.

[Both laugh]

Okay, I miss you.
Talk back soon.

Love, felicity.

[Tape recorder
clicks, cassette ejects]

Thank you. You're welcome.

Bye.

[Laughing] bye.

[Door closes] [sighs]

[Russian accent]
sensa likes you,

I like you.

I give you... The 4000.

Wow!

Is like a fine woman, yes?

You give her money,
you pull her knobs...

Yuri! What?

I'm joking. He knows I'm joking.

Now...

You pay for machine
with cut of your profits.

Ah, well, uh...

[Calculator buttons click]

Eh, take you about a year.

Great. So, that's it?

No. They worry

They want to know that she's
happy, that she has a friend.

Anyone who would
go through this,

I know she has at
least one good friend.

She does.

Now we wrestle.

Uh, but I thought, um...

I'll let you win. It looks good.

Dear carol...

My name is julie emrick.

I was born march
10, 1980, in new york

At the columbia
presbyterian hospital.

I believe I'm your daughter.

Okay. [Laughs]

Hopefully, you're
still listening.

Um...

I guess I've, uh... Been
searching for you

For... A long time.

I don't know. It's just...
Just something I need to do.

I've had a-a pretty
good life so far.

I love my parents.
They're great.

I'm a freshman in college.
I'm gonna major in music.

Uh... I've got real
good friends.

But there's just...

There's always been
something missing,

And I say that it's a
hole when people ask,

But it's more like this...

This question that just
never, uh... Goes away.

Look, i... [Laughs]

I look in the mirror, and...

I wonder where my
brown eyes come from

Or... Why my nose turns
up a little at the end

Or... Why I love to play guitar

Or the fact that I can eat
three candy bars in one day

And not get fat.

[Laughs]

Thank you for that. [Laughs]

I-i don't want
anything from you...

Money or anything.

I just... [Smacks lips]

I would just like to meet you,

Even if i-it's just once...

And just finally... See myself

Reflected in... In someone else.

Because i-i think
that I need that.

And just that maybe...

That, um...

That... That you think
about me, too, sometimes.

And...

Thank you for my life.

[Tape recorder clicks]

[Man coughing]

You know, i...

I never thanked you
for being there for me.

I know it was hard
not saying anything,

But I'm glad you
stayed out of it

Because I don't know if I would have
believed him if he didn't come to me first.

So you've forgiven him?

Yeah.

But I'm gonna milk it
for a few more days.

And what about tara?

Oh, that's my girl, you know.

She made a mistake.
She apologized. Move on.

That's big of you.

Eh, if you can't trust your
friends, who can you trust?

Anyway... [Laughs softly]

Thanks.

Sure.

[Man coughs]

Where are you going?

Uh, bathroom.

Oh, use a paper towel to
open the door when you leave.

What?

I saw it on "oprah."

They did this
ultraviolet-photography thing

Where they found traces of semen
on, like, 7 out of 10 door handles.

Did... You just say
"traces of semen"?

Yeah.

Excuse me.

I'm working, miss cream
cable-knit sweater, v-neck, black...

I-i know, yeah. Uh,
this is your space.

Space... Mm-hmm. I know that.

Um, you know, the... The two people
who took your space after me?

Jeans, timberlands, bald head?

Yes.

Black... Pants,
fuchsia shirt, braids?

Right, right, okay. That's them.

Um, did they ever make out

In, uh... Your
space before that?

Three times... Three times
they made out in my space.

First time... Bluejeans,
sweat shirt, jordans.

Second time... Cowboy
shirt rolled up at sleeves,

Black jeans, jordans...

No socks... Cold day, no socks.

Strange.

You can't look at a door
handle the same, can you?

[Man coughs]

What?

Look, uh, m-maybe
there's still, you know,

A reason or some
explanation for it,

But... I'm pretty
sure the kiss I saw

Between blair and
tara wasn't a mistake.

What?

I'm sorry.

I...

You believed me before, but I
wasn't really telling you the truth.

They said it was a mistake...

It's a mistake.

Elena, there's some
guy in the stacks

Who says they've been
up there, like, three times.

What guy?

I don't know his name.
He's just some weird guy.

Some weird guy?

No, it's not just
some weird guy.

I mean, that's what
I believed, too.

Remember what you said about,

You know, trusting your friends?

Is that why you're saying
that... Because we're friends?

Yes.

How good of friends are we?

Have you ever been to my house?

Um, no, uh...

Have I ever cried
in front of you

Or laughed so hard until
we were rolling on the floor?

Well, no, but...

Were you in the hospital with me
when my mom d*ed? Because tara was.

You asked me, you
know, what I saw,

And I'm just... Trying
to be honest with you.

Believing you means that she's
lying in my face, and I can't do that.

[Papers rustle]

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

Elena, doesn't this look
like your last boyfriend,

Except white with more hair?

[Laughs]

Hey, for the record,
I am bald by choice.

Yeah, you choose to
keep telling yourself that.

[Laughs]

[Laughs]

[Laughs]

What's going on?

I forgot I have a
meeting with my chem t.a.

Oh.

So, what time do you
want me to come get you?

Mr. Redman goes on at 10:00.

Whenever. 9:00.

I'll see you.

Bye.

Noel: what are you
doing? [Felicity laughs]

Knock it off. [Laughs]

[Laughs]

I'm reading here.

[Clears throat]

No, I'm still reading.

You know, I could actually program
the machine to give you a two-for-one.

Really?

Yeah, but since you charged
me for coffee, i... Mnh-mnh.

[Both laugh]

Hey, I thought you were gonna
be studying all afternoon.

Yeah, I was supposed
to study with elena,

But she didn't call.

Oh.

♪ Doesn't feel like a... ♪

I didn't call her either, so...

Look, you were honest.

You can't be mad at
yourself for that, okay?

Yeah.

I just...

I thought we were
better friends than that.

[Smooches] I know.

[Indistinct conversations]

Oh, oh, hey, rod, I was
just looking for you.

Woman: I see it. Okay.

I can make that change.

Yeah, I've got it... I've
got it on both copies.

Yeah, I'm checking it now.
And we'll fax over two copies.

Right. Okay. Thank you. Mm-hmm.

Hi, um...

They told me that
carol anderson's office...

You're here for the internship?

I'm sorry?

The internship... You

I just... I want to drop off...

Oh, uh, ms. Anderson...

Oh, thanks.

Oh, tina, I need you to reschedule

Thanks.

So... The application?

Hello?

Um... Thank you.

I cheated on john once.

It was six months
into our relationship.

It was an ex-boyfriend,
and halfway into it,

I suddenly remembered why
we broke up in the first place

And why I loved john so much.

The thing is, john never
would've found out about it,

Except after three months,

I couldn't take the guilt
anymore, and I told him.

I never used to believe
an affair could do anything

But destroy a relationship,

But from that moment
on, I never lied to him again,

Not even about
the smallest thing.

Sometimes in a relationship,

Going through hell isn't so bad

If you come out of
it a little stronger.

I guess the same is
true about friends.
