"Jett, stop.  Don't take pity on me.  It's all wrong. I'm not good enough for you. What even made you think that?  All I am is worthless.  I can't even do anything right.  You deserve so much more than someone who can't even hold themselves together.  You have no idea how much I want you.  But I can't have you. Ever.  Think of the millions of people who will idolize you.  All the girls that will scream when they hear your name.  I'm holding you back.  You need to take that movie offer.  It's what you've always wanted.  Besides, who wants to date an overweight, ugly, nothing?  You need to forget I ever even came into your life.  That kiss was a mistake.  You deserve so much more than I can give you.  I can't even stop eating to save my life.  You know I've tried to lose weight, and it always results in failure.  You can't possibly care about someone who isn't beautiful.  Someone who will never be beautiful.  So go change your life.  I may have known you for a long time, but I'm not enough to be your Best Friend, and I'm certainly not enough to be considered your girlfriend.  So please just go, I couldn't bear to see you throw your life away because of me.  Goodbye Jett."
