-Ross-

Stormie: you what?

Here I am. About to tell my mom that I want to travel half way across the world, just to be with my ex-girlfriend.

Ross:....I wanna go to England.

She looked like she was about to faint.

I mean....England?

I've only been there once. So it will be kinda weird. But when Laura first came here------that was her first time in a America, which was kinda weird. Cause like....who's never been to America?

Stormie: Ross, you can't just decide to move to England. You know absolutely nothing about there.

I know I don't know anything about there, but neither did Laura.

Stormie: I bet you didn't even think this through?

Is she dizzy? I have thought this through. It it took quite-- a long....while?

It wasn't that long. But I thought this through.

Ross: and I'm not moving there. I'm just gonna stay there for a couple of years.

Stormie: years?

........this might take a while.

-Laura-

Hannah: mom, dad....Laura was talking to her boyfriend on the phone last night.

This little brat.

Ellen: you have a boyfriend?

You see my family?

Laura: wha-- no. I don't have a boyfriend. She's just lying.

Hannah: I'm not lying. I swear.

Ellen: then who were you talking to last night?

Laura: no one.

Hannah: liar.

Laura: shut up--

My mom then cleared her throat. Gosh, liar and shut up aren't even bad words. My mom's just.....the queen.

Laura: I was only talking to my friend. He's not my boyfriend.

Not anymore.

Damiano: are you sure?

Laura: yes, I'm sure-- how can I not be sure?!

I just want to leave this place I swear.

I hate it here. I used to love it, but now I don't. I want to move out....but unfortunately I can't.

Maybe you can though?

How the fuck can I-- oops. Bad language.

..............

Laura: well....hi.

I was meeting with this other guy.
