- # Friends

# all ask me about you.

# You're gone,

# and they want to know why.

# I've stopped

# even trying to tell them.

# Tears fill my eyes.

# I walk away.

# What can I say?

# Where can I go?

# Without your love?

# What can I tell them

# now that you've left me?

# What can I say?

# What can I do?

# I'm lost without you. #

- I love how warm you are

to everyone.

You always see the best in people,

(SIGHS) even when they don't deserve it.

It's like you can't help but care.

(POIGNANT MUSIC)

You've always been there for me.

For everyone, really.

You always put others first.

But today's all about you.

I hope I've made it exactly how you'd want it.

I hope it's perfect.

I don't know how you do it.

School,

sports,

climate stuff.

I don't know how you still have time for us,

but I still see you the same as I always have.

First day of year one.

I had no one.

Then you showed up.

You smiled at me.

You looked like me.

You were the only one who did.

And you wanted to be my friend.

My best friend.

I got that for 12 years.

I wish I had more.

You have a way of bringing everyone together,

even now.

I guess you're like our glue.

Without you,

I don't really know what we are.

But I know I love you

and I won't forget you.

Happy birthday, Riley.

- Why did you say that?

Um,

you've― you've got, um...

So glad you finally believe me.

- Hmm?

- What you said out there.

You screamed at them.

You said Riley was murdered.

- What?

- You're right. Isn't― Isn't that why you invited everyone here, to figure out who did it

- Hazel, you can't still be on this.

Why do you have this?

- I downloaded it before it got deleted.

You were all at the cabin the night she died.

It has to be someone who was there. We can solve it. Tonight.

- Riley wasn't murdered.

- The voicemail.

- Do not play that.

Don't ruin this.

Just go home.

(UNNERVING MUSIC)

- Oh my God.

You OK, my love?

- Hey, what did you mean back there?

- Yeah. What were you on, Billy?

- Hey, so... I thought you wanted tonight to be about Riley. - It is. I...

- Well, some people might think what you did was really disrespectful.

No one killed Riley.

It was an accident. She fell.

- I know, I'm just...

It's just a lot.

- You might need to talk with someone.

You're not handling this very well.

- No. Let's have some drinks.

- Fuck Yeah. (CHUCKLES) - Julius.

- What? It's my house. (BOTTLES CLINK)

- I don't think Billy's well enough for that.

- Nah. Let's celebrate.

- Sounds well enough to me.

- It'll be fun.

- Yeah?

All right.

- She'd want us to have fun.

- Let's get the buzz going, team.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

- (CLAPS) Let's go!

(LAID-BACK ROCK MUSIC)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Here you go. Just drink up. Drink up.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Why the suit?

- (SIGHS) I― I thought it would be respectful.

- They're so popular.

And you're not. Why are you here?

- They're my friends. Riley was my friend.

- The cabin where she died, it was yours.

- No, she didn't die there.

We just had a few drinks.

- That's it?

- Yeah.

That's it.

- But why was it at your cabin?

I mean, did those guys hang out there often?

- What were you even doing up there― - Look, maybe you should talk to Piper about thi

She and Riley organised it all. And as you said, you're...

barely their friend.
