"Did your phone get disconnected last night?"

"No, I shut it off."

"Why?"

"I didn't know what else to say."

"Poppy, please tell me what's going on in that brain of yours. I don't want to wake up one day to find out that you didn't. I don't want to wake up and realize that I never knew what you were thinking."

"I'm thinking about you, as always. I never think about anything else, really."

"I'm thinking about you too. I always do."

"So why couldn't you take me with you? All I wanted was to be with you forever. You're my best friend, Danny, yet you got up and just left town without even telling me."

"Because it would hurt you to be where I am."

"It hurts me more not being with you."

"It's better this way, you should know this."

"It's better for me to wake up crying every night, yeah?"

"It is."

"You're just a coward."

"I know, you were always the strong one."

"Which is stupid because I'm the girl with the issues. You had it perfect, Danny. I was the one everyone thought would run away. You're just a coward, and I hate you."

"Well, I love you."
