In the morning, Neal wakes up to the women talking in the kitchen.
--
Neal gets up from the couch, and he goes into the kitchen for coffee.
----
"Morning." Neal breathes in, as he scratches his head.
"Hey Neal." Jennifer nods.
"Morning." Dylan yawns.
-
Lilly nervously fidgets with her feet.
-
"What's going on?" Neal asks, as he walks up behind Lilly.
"I'm sure you were the first to know." Jennifer sighs.
"You guys really are, leaving?" Neal asks, hoping it was a dream.
"He's already beaten Lilly-" Dylan clams up.
"He's hit you more than, these two times?" Neal asks, turning Lilly around.
"Here." Lilly nods sadly.
"Lilly-" Neal becomes overwhelmed, with the news and his emotions.
-
Jennifer chews her inner lip.
-
Dylan uncomfortably sips her coffee.
-
"And you didn't tell me?" Neal asks slightly angry.
"That isn't something, I just go around sharing." Lilly says annoyed.
"Neal we didn't want to involve you. Can you really blame us?" Jennifer points out.
"So this is my fault?" Neal snaps.
"Neal-"
"No, you know what. You guys should start packing. I need to get back to my own apartment anyway." Neal says, as he walks out of their apartment.
--
"Jerk." Dylan mumbles.
-
Lilly sighs as she looks at Jennifer.
-
"Go." Jennifer waves her hand.
-
Lilly walks into Jennifer's room, she climbs out the window, and she takes the fire escape.
