Like hearing voices, insane,

saying that somebody

was gonna hurt her.

Amber wasn't afraid of anybody.

- How did--How'd she die?

- Her dad left her alone

for, like, five minutes

so he could

go sign some paperwork

to have her admitted

into an insane asylum.

When he was pulling

back into the driveway,

she jumped off the roof and...

landed headfirst

onto his windshield.

Like, what would

make her do that?

What would make her do that?

[ bird squawking ]

[ chime ]

[ whirring ]

- [ screams ]

[ screams ]

[ screams ]

[ screams ]

[ screams ]

- Is there somebody in here?

I'm gonna call the cops!

Hey...

can you come over?

Yeah, right now.

- [ sighs ]

I checked the whole house.

There's no one in there,

and there are no cameras.

All the doors are locked.

Can I see this video?

- No.

My computer

just, like, fried afterwards.

I can't even turn it on.

What do you think's happening?

- Honestly, I think it's

just a weird glitch, you know?

- Did you know her, Morgan?

- Amber and Nicole

went to middle school

with Morgan at St. Francis.

They said she was different,

didn't get along

with the other kids.

She left school

in eighth grade,

and a few weeks later, they

found out she killed herself.

Everyone who went to St. Francis

made clear

you just don't talk about it.

- Wait. Then, who's doing this?

I mean, who's running

her profile?

- I don't know, but you

really shouldn't worry about it.

I mean, just stay off-line

for a while. It'll go away.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

- Where do you want to go?

- Um, we could see a movie.

I'll bet you

"Hunger Games 15" is out by now.

- [ chuckles ]

- Or we could throw

another party.

- No. Definitely not.

Seriously, after cleaning up

Nicole's house,

yeah, I'd rather see

"Hunger Games 1000."

[ laughs ]

- Let's go.

Come on.

- Seat belt.

- Ha ha. You wish.

- You're reckless.

- Just a little bit.

[ cell phone ringtone plays ]

- So I guess, um,

Jake's been hanging out

with your girl Kristen a lot.

- Yeah, it seems like it.

Hey, do you think

he really likes her,

or he's just sprung up

on her right now?

- Honestly, um, I don't know.

It's hard to read that kid.

How 'bout you, though?

How you been holding up?

- Not so great.

Definitely not

getting any sleep tonight.

- Listen, um, I know that you

and Amber were close,

and I just

wanted to let you know,

if you need anything,

I'm here for you.

- Thanks, but it's okay.

I just--

Well, I just want to feel

back to normal, you know?

- Yeah, I get it.

You want to see

one of my latest videos?

Well, I mean, if you insist.

Um, okay,

I'm gonna send you a link.

Watch it, and let me know
