Whoa!

You know when people

make wishes on, um...

Dandelions?

No, not dandelions.

Stars?

It's hilarious because the

star they're wishing on is

like...

Probably dead.

So what is this place?

Place I used to

come with my dad.

What does he do?

He's a firefighter.

That's awesome.

So do you have, like...

A disorder or something?

Like...

Sorry, why, why

do you, why were you at the

clinic?

My parents separated

when I was 11.

And after that I just started

getting into a lot of fights.

Fights?

I went to this catholic school

with like a thousand b*tches,

and they thought

I was weird, so...

That's a lot of b*tches.

I just thought it

would be super dramatic to

down a bottle of pills

in the girl's bathroom.

I had to get my stomach

pumped and my dad flipped.

You tried to kill yourself?

Kind of.

Why do you go to the clinic?

My dad died, and my mom

doesn't think I'm

"socially adjusted."

Okay, string bean!

You have to what?

I have to pee.

Ah, bathroom's over there.

What?

What?

What happened?

Nothing.

Okay.

It's not, it's not like that.

I gotta show you something.

Wow.

That's amazing.

Did you make that?

Yeah.

I know you dig that chopin.

I'm glad you like it though.

A work in progress, you know?

I love it.

Good, 'cause you're the first

person I've played it for.

Pull!

Woo!

Give him one.

Pull!

Are you sure?

Miss!

I'm...

I'm going to St. Helen's.

I'm actually very excited

to, to go to the academy.

Just like that, change of heart?

Just like that.

Why do you come here, James?

What do you mean?

I mean why do you come here?

All the hours, all

the sessions...

Why?

'Cause my mom makes me.

Your mom can't make

you do anything.

But that's funny.

No.

I think you come here because

there's a part of you that

feels guilty.

What are you talking about?

Maybe it's your mom.

Maybe it eats at you that

she's had to go to hell and

back just like you.

Even though you'd never

admit that to her, no.

Did you know I knew your father?

You didn't.

I never told you that.

When I taught at

tabor he was there.

Big guy.

Tall.

Quiet.

And you know something?

You're nothing like him.

So, you can keep going

on where you're going.

Or you can deal with it.

F***!

No, s-stop!

Stop!

Man, chill!

Come on, buddy.

Come on.

Yo.

Come on man.

Come on man, chill out, okay?

Chill out!

Chill out, just...

Mm.

I don't think I like cigarettes.

Then don't smoke.

Hey.

Think somebody's

here to see you.

Hey.

I've been looking for you.

Oh, sh*t.

Yeah.

Listen, I'm really sorry

about the other night.

I was messed up and I wasn't

thinking, and I was, it was...

My dad killed himself.
