"Uh, who's this?""It's, um, it's DJ."
"Who's phone are you on?"
"My personal one. I just needed... I just needed someone to..."
"Are you crying?"
"No, just bad allergies."
"Sarcasm not appreciated."
"He... he came by earlier, y'know?"
"Yeah."
"And he was... he said... he never loved me, y'know? It was just a ploy to get my sister, or whatever. And all I could think was, I wasted three years of my life on a douchebag who never loved me."
"He's a butthole."
"They were... they were fucking the entire time we were together and I didn't know. And I thought, if my mom doesn't love me, my sister doesn't love me, and my ex never loved me... who does?"
"Deej, you're scaring me."
"And then I just started walking and somehow I ended up on this rooftop and..."
"DJ, I care about you. So much. Ariel cares about you. Tony cares about you. Rod cares about you. Andy, whoever the hell that is, cares about you."
"But if my own family hates me, then what kind of a person am I? I'm brash, I insult people, I curse. I just... I don't seem like an all that good person to be around."
"Please don't do this, DJ. Things are bad now, they are. But they'll get better, I promise. When you've hit rock bottom, the only place you can go is up."
"I just... it's so silly. We broke up. But it just... made me see. The kind of person I am. And why no one likes me. And... they're better off without me."
"Please don't do this, DJ... where are you?"
"I'm on... I'm on the roof of Blue Bell Apartments."
"I'm on my way, please don't do anything. I'm on my way."
"..."
"I'll see you soon, Princess."
