Julia lies in her bed cuddling Daniella, who is crying.
DANIELLA: I'm so sorry to just drop in on you like this.
JULIA: It's perfectly fine, Daniella. You know we're best friends, I'd never just leave you down in the dumps.
DANIELLA: Yeah, best friends.
JULIA: That was probably the stupidest thing to say given our situation.
JULIA: Daniella, I'm sorry.
DANIELLA: For what?
JULIA: The toxic things I do to hurt you.
DANIELLA: What do you mean?
JULIA: This bitch is really going to make me explain it, ain't she?
DANIELLA: Come on, admit it already.
JULIA: I know you've had a crush on me for a while now, and I do very intimate things with people right in front of you. I disregard your feelings, and that isn't right.
DANIELLA: Oh.
Julia taps on Daniella's shoulder and Daniella looks back at her. Julia gestures for her to turn around and Daniella flips over to face Julia. There they look into each other's eyes. Daniella's eyes are still red and watery from earlier.
JULIA: Fuck it.
Julia leans in and kisses Daniella.
