A Girl Like Her Page #4

she's doing?

I, uh, I... I don't feel

comfortable talking

about her like this.

I understand.

I'm sorry, Brian.

That's OK.

Guys, turn off the cameras.

Turn 'em off.

I'm sorry, Brian.

Any updates

about Jessica?

No, she's, uh...

she's no worse.

How's Gabrielle doing?

I don't know.

I mean, she seems OK,

you know?

Kids seem to...

take it in stride somehow.

I'd love to have

some answers, you know?

This doesn't make

any sense to me.

Little girls don't just

start taking drugs

and don't take

a whole handful.

Hey, honey.

Are you getting

hungry?

- Yes.

- Yeah?

How's your homework

going?

I didn't do

my homework yet.

Oh, sweetheart, you've

got to get that done.

How about after dinner,

I'll help you

with your homework,

all right?

OK.

OK.

Dad, can I tell you

something?

Sure, sweetheart.

What is it?

It's OK, kitten.

Come here.

Don't be scared.

OK? 'Cause...

Listen, listen.

She's gonna be OK...

all right?

She is, and we're

gonna get her home.

OK, kiddo?

We'll get her home soon, OK?

And we'll all do

something fun together.

OK.

But you can't worry

about this thing, OK?

I miss her, too,

sweetheart.

Why don't you go

wash up for dinner, OK?

Hey, do you guys

want to sign

this get-well card

for Jessica?

Tell me a little bit

about South Brookdale's

social scene.

Um, our school's,

like, very cliquey.

Everyone's very organized.

Everyone's got

their own group.

It's, like, average

high school.

There are the people

that like band

or the people that like theater

or the people that like

basketball, the jocks.

Yeah.

Hey, do you guys want

to sign this for Jessica?

Yeah.

It kind of depends

what grade you're in,

but, like, mainly Avery

and her friends.

All right.

Thank you.

It's just those type of

people that think they're,

like, better than everyone

and, like, no one else

really matters but them and,

like, everyone else is

just kind of, like,

worthless, you know?

Hey, uh, do you guys

want to sign

this get-well card

for Jessica?

Uh, no, it's OK.

Uh, are you sure?

Mm-hmm.

OK.

- Thanks!

- You're welcome.

You sure you don't

want to sign it?

No, it's OK, thanks.

- Seriously?

- Mm-hmm.

- OK.

- OK.

I just thought

it would be nice.

Is she serious?

Ha ha!

Oh, my God.

Jess!

Hey, Brian.

What's up, Jason?

Hey, sorry I didn't

wait for you. I just...

- Is everything OK?

- I just want to go home.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Jess.

What happened today?

Nothing.

Did she come up

to you today?

I don't want

to talk about it.

Jess, are you sure

you're OK?

I'm fine.

Hi, ladies. How are you?

- Hi.

- Hi. Good to see you again.

Avery, can I talk to you
