Fender Bender

1

No, I already called.

Yeah, they're gonna send

someone in the morning.

No, it was totally his fault,

which is probably the only good news.

Oh, thank you.

But I think I'm staying in tonight.

I've got a hot date, you know,

with a bubble bath and a bottle of wine.

Tell everyone I said hi though,

okay, and have fun.

Okay.

Bye.

TGIF.

My God.

This is what I need.

No!

No!

No!

No!

You were right.

Oh, Christ.

How could I be so stupid?

Look, don't beat yourself up about it.

There's no way you could have known.

Well, you obviously did.

That's only because I saw him passing

notes to the little slut in study hall.

And then Erik's seen them at disco

bowling last weekend at The Pins.

- If it wasn't for all that...

- You're right.

Then we'd all be fooled

by Mr. Dimples and Perfect Pecs.

What are the a**holes doing now?

She teaching him the best way

to execute a mount?

Oh, they're just having a great old time.

All laughs and smiles

and perfectly timed hair flips.

So gross.

Oh, my God.

What?

I gotta go.

You're not gonna confront them?

I can't do that.

- Yes, you can!

- No, I can't.

You could, not me.

- But...

- I'll call you later, okay?

Oh, sh*t.

Hilary!

- Go to hell, Andy.

- Hilary, can we just talk about this?

No, we can't, and congratulations,

you two make an incredible couple.

Look, it doesn't mean anything.

She doesn't mean anything.

You're my girl, Hill.

Not anymore.

Oh, my God.

You're f***ing kidding me!

Hey, there.

Hi.

I am so sorry. Are you alright?

No, I'm fine. What happened?

It was the craziest thing.

I took my eye off the road for one moment

to change the radio station.

Next thing I knew... bam, you were

right on top of me from out of the blue.

I really should've known better at my age.

Again, so sorry.

- Great.

- Look at that.

Oh, my parents are gonna kill me.

- Hey, this is on me. Entirely my fault.

- No. God.

This is my mom's brand new car.

Dammit.

I'm sure they'll understand.

Yeah, that would be amazing.

But you don't know my parents.

Oh, it's just a fender bender, right?

Nothing too serious.

I hope you're right.

These things happen all the time.

No, not to me they don't.

Never, actually.

This is your first time?

Yeah. It's my first accident.

I just got my driver's license.

A virgin.

Excuse me?

When it comes to something like this.

Yeah, I suppose you're right.

I should get a cake or something, right?

So, should we exchange?

Hm?

Information,

should we exchange our information?

- Yeah.

- No need to involve the police.

Something as inconsequential

as this, right?

No, I guess not.

I'm sure they have bigger fish to fry.

In this town, don't be too sure.

I'm gonna be right back.

Yes, me too.

Uh, um.

I think everything's on there.

Looks great.

I tried to remember everything

that they told us.

Perfect.

And for you.

Oh, thanks.

Well, alright.

Well, I guess that just about does it.

- Okay.

- Oh, pictures.

Excuse me?

Um, they told us to take pictures

of the accident scene.

All the damages, everything.

Yes, of course.

Um, I suppose I need one

of you, too, if you don't mind.

Alright.

You too.

Of me and my car, I mean.

That won't be necessary.

Are you sure?

Mm-hmm.

'Kay, well, I think that's it then.

I guess it is.

'Kay, well, bye then.

Goodbye, Hilary.

Hey.

Hey, oh, my God, Rachel just told me.

Are you okay?

You will not believe

what just happened to me.

The bastard dropped to his knees

begging for forgiveness?

- I was just hit.

- Wait, he hit you?

No, an accident.

I was just in a car accident.

Wait, what? Are you serious? Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

It was just a fender bender, but, and it

wasn't even my fault either, thank God.

Oh, my God. No, no, your mom's new car!

And we're supposed to leave

in a couple hours, too.

This is gonna be so bad.

Yeah, it is.

Well, thanks a lot.

Well, let me know

if you need anything, hon.

I just need to face this right now.

Hola.

Where you been?

Um, just out for a ride.

Just out for a ride?

Why haven't you been answering your phone?

We almost called the police, Hilary.

I know and I'm sorry.

What's so important that you have

to sneak out so early in the morning?

I went to see Andy.

Oh, God, Hilary.

Look, I know how you both feel about him,

but I went out this morning

to finally end it.

You guys were right.

Everyone was right.

And it's over now.

Well, I guess something positive

came out of all of this, then.

But that still does not make it right,

young lady.

You're right.

Well, let's not make a habit of this, huh?

It's not like we don't have enough things

going on around here already.

Help us pack. We gotta go.

Check-in's at three.

Actually.

Something else did happen.

Like they've never done anything wrong

in their perfect little lives, please!

Your mother and I discussed this,

and after everything that happened today,

we both feel that this is something

we just can't ignore.

- Papa, I...

- Hilary, let me speak.

I know you apologized, and that's a start.

But actions have consequences.

What does that mean, exactly?

It means that you're not going

with us this weekend.

Que?

You're grounded. You're gonna stay here

and take care of you're mother's car.

No.

And I don't want you leaving this house

for any reason, mi entiendes?

Mama!

Lo siento, mijita, but we can't

pretend like this was all okay.
