Ever since we... You're the only person that I've

ever... Sorry, this is weird. I don't talk like this. No, it's okay.

I feel like I'm coming apart.

I think about you all the time, Nikki.

And I try not to.

You're in every song I listen to.

You were the only person that was nice to me when I moved here.

And at first I thought maybe you'd...

Well, I realized who

you are.

And then after Nana passed, you were the one that called.

Didn't have anything to say, and we just sat there.

So I keep telling myself, don't tell her she's too good, and she'll... You'll

lose her.

But maybe you should know that I would choose you over everything.

No, stop.

Okay, that was cringy. Oh my god. I knew it.

I'm so sorry I thought it was gross. Okay this time. I'm not doing it again,

dude. That was so embarrassing Yeah, yeah, that would freak it that freaked

me out. Yeah, Nikki would vomit told me to pour my heart out You know a

vulnerable. I just got I Underestimated you what if you got her something nice?

No, don't get her anything You got to be less less sappy with Nikki. Okay, she

doesn't like that shit. She doesn't flowers

Candy that she said she likes.

Okay.

Thank you.

What?

Thank you.

You want me to go?

If you want. Oh, okay. Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I made you do that. No, it's

okay. You're okay. It's a fun break.

Just pretend like... You're good.

Oh, my God. Dude, that was so embarrassing. Can we leave?

Well, thank God I did it. That was awful.

Thank you for that.

Have you ever actually, like, flirted with Nikki?

Invite romance.

Invite romance? Tease her.

Be playfully mean with her. Be mean to her.

Playfully mean, yeah, but bring up Freaky Nikki.

You want me to call her Freaky Nikki?

You know she's sensitive about that. Like, hey, remember when you used to get

bullied, everybody called you Freaky Nikki?

She'd be like, oh, my God.

Oh, no, Bear, that was so long ago. No, please.

And that will, like, take her breath away? Just say Nikki.

I think we should grab a drink sometime. Yeah, I've grabbed drinks sometimes. She

always invites you.

Yeah, exactly. I asked you guys not to come to Trivia for one night. You can't

ask her out of Trivia, Bear. You can't. I'm not gonna let you. It's a good,

organic time to ask. I love Trivia night. It's all I have. I wake up every

Wednesday, rock hard, thinking about Trivia. God, kick it off.

Don't mind me. You can't turn our weekly gathering of camaraderie and skill into

your seven-year-late promposal, Bear. Then when do I ask?

Any other time.

All you have is time.

If she means this much to you, and I know she does,

wait. Do it at the right time.

Okay.

Hey, I'll wait. I'll do it right. Now say it with me.

All you have...

Sandy? Sandy?

Sandy?

No.

No, no, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, no.

Oh, shit.

How did you get into the...

Why can't she?

Oh, I needed a good day off. Oh, yeah, definitely.

You work so hard.

You know I do.

Oh, what time are you showing up tonight? I want to secure the spot

early.

Oh.

Um, I'll... I don't think I'm going to make it tonight, actually.

Well, I mean I I don't think I

can tonight. I'm just catching up on some stuff

What

Really? How come?

I don't know.

Yeah, we're kind of running out of time there, so, um, you know, you might want

to skip that stuff you're working on.

You're right.

Tonight's the night.

Shit! God damn it! Are you okay?

Oh, shit.

Sorry.

Why would you even say that?

Hey, we're closing soon, so let me know if you need anything.

Oh, okay.

Thank you.

Yeah, I know. Ryan was saying that, too, so I'm not the only one.

I know.

Hey, sorry. I do need help.

Do you have crystal necklaces?

Yeah, yeah. Here, let me show you.

No, honestly, because that's what I was saying before. Like, what? What are you

even talking about?

Oh my god, that's crazy.

What? No.

Hold on a second.

Um, so this is all we have.

Yeah, each rock has its own kind of unique energy and whatever. So the

amethyst is for calmness, clarity, and then the rose quartz attracts, like,

love and shit. What's one that's, like, good energy, like, good vibes?

Probably the citrine. I mean, it's basically sunshine and a rock.

Okay. Thanks.

Yeah. Let me know if you need anything else.

Want no crystal?

I like this.

Yeah, well, they've been pretty popular since we put them out.

You know, everybody wants a wish.

Well, it's not for me, so... Okay, well, don't come back complaining.

Do people complain about these, or...? Well, they're kind of, like,

collectibles, so some people don't open them, but the people who do, you know,

come back and complain.

Because it's a scammer. Hey, man, we're not scammers. No, I don't mean that

you're scammer, but just like why do they complain because they're mad

because it doesn't work? Yeah, or whatever.

Or it does work and it like ruins their lives.

Or they die. I wish they were dead.

We're good.

Yeah, you could write a review. This is gonna be seven.

They aren't all tuned.

It's not about the guitars, and you know that. Those teenagers are fucking

slapping it like a bass, and the shitty demo strings don't even get you started.

He doesn't expect them to be tuned all the time.

If you're working on your book or whatever on the clock, it means you have

something to do. I never work on my book when there are customers in the store,

so why does it matter?

I know, but look, I'm the one that has to go home and hear my dad complain

about my friends all night.

I'm just asking you to pretend like you're working.

I mean, it's easy for you to say when you're leaving for tattoo school.

It's art school, and I haven't gotten in yet.

I thought you got into Luther. No, I said I want to go to Luther.

Sorry, I didn't still have a shot.

Good. Sorry, I just don't want you to get in trouble. I know, babe. I love

you. I love you.

What the fuck are you guys doing?

Uh, Ian's just messing with me. I look over, and these two are just... Cut the

shit. Can we focus up?

This is very serious to me. I'm gonna go get some shots.

Great idea. I'll come with you. Thank you.

Thank you.

What the fuck were you guys doing?

Four shots of tequila, please. And anything else?

I'll get a pina colada.

A pina colada?

Don't make fun of my drink.

What? I like a man who's in touch with his feminine self. Why is that feminine?

I don't like the taste of the alcohol. Yeah, well, get your juice.

Wow.

Wait, so what was the important stuff on the phone today? A lot. I did a lot of

really important things.

That? Cleaned. I did my taxes. I did... You watch TV all day. Yeah, that's all.

Fair.

So, uh, I was thinking... Got a card for the shots?

Uh, yes.

I got it.

Okay, fine.

Yes, you can...

I said I got it.

You gotta be quicker than that.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Uh... Anyway, um... I went to the store... Open or closed?

Oh, open, babe.

I was just trying to say that I... You said you dropped your knife with me.

Guys, Sarah just told me that her dad keeps a gun in the break room safe.

Wow. Are you serious?

Dad's serious.

I feel like he, like, should have mentioned that or something.

Not if it's locked away. It's fine. Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. Um, you were

saying something.

Yeah, what were you saying?

I was just saying, um, I... I'll just... I'll tell you later.

I went to the... Did you realize we were all taking a field trip to the bar?

All right.

Okay.

What are we cheersing to?

To Sandy. Thanks for coming out tonight in his trivia time.

All right.

Let's get these fuckers, huh? All right. Yeah, I'm looking at you. Here we go.

Why to Sandy?

Sandy died.

What?

Sandy died.

What?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah, I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Guys, settle down. Settle down.

Okay, okay, guys.

Come on, douchebags. We're going to Greedo's. No, please.

I just want to go home.

You're saying no to karaoke?

I'm saying no to bad singers and sticky tabletops when I just want to go home

and sleep.

All right, so who's going to dance when I send Shady the whole joint? Who's

going to dance when I send Shady the whole joint?

Wait,

Ian, let's do a duet.

Fuck that. Let's go musical. Sarah will sing. Give me a G.

What the fuck was that? No, Sarah sucks.

Can you just please take me home? I just want to go to bed. Nikki. I had a long

day. I don't want to go to the next fucking bar with you guys. My car's

headed to Greedo's, Nikki. We could drop her off on the way. I could take you

home.

You're a real piece of work, man.

Thank you. Bear, you have to come.

Fuck that. I'm too tired. Fuck you. Does anybody have cash?

I think I have a 20.

I'll pay you back. You can't have it.

Great, just bought a guy's heroin. Who would know the speed price?

Alright, Barry, you ready? Good night, guys.

Okay.

Hi.

Get home safe. God, you're so fucking annoying.

Ian, get your girl home safe.

Ew, don't say it like that.

See you later, Bear. All right, Bear, let's get the fuck out of here. All

right, let's go. Fuck these losers. Let's go get fucked up. Yeah, Bear, fuck

you.

Sorry about your cat, Baron.

It's okay.

Well, it's not, but... I don't think it's, like, hit me. Yeah.

You know you can always call me when it does.

I know.

It's going to be weird not seeing you every day.

I'm not happy there.

I mean, it's just a job, Nikki.

Yeah, well, I want to write.

I mean, you are.

No, I feel like I need a big life change. I'm not feeling love, and I want

to feel love if I want to bring the story to life.

Love.

So it's a romance.

No, it's not a romance. It's a love story.

Isn't that the same thing?

You know, you're the only person that I get to really talk to about this stuff.

You are too.

Especially at work.

You're not a...

complete brick wall

oh

um don't let me forget i i i got you something

what you'll see ew no that why

does that make me nervous i don't know that's an odd reaction

You know, Sarah's asking about you all day today.

How do you feel about that?

You're asking if I have feelings for Sarah? I'm asking how you feel about

Sarah, and if how you feel about her is having a crush on her, then that would

be how you feel about her.

I like her as a friend. God, I thought you would. She's so fucking obvious.

Yeah, she is.

When I have a crush on a guy...

No one knows.

Good night.

Nikki, wait.

What? I was gonna ask you, um... I

lost my train of thought.

Good night.

Hey,

do you remember in Mr. Lando's class when I forgot my mouthpiece?

And he was, like, in a really pissy mood that day, and you told me you had an

extra one.

And then you gave me yours, but, like... There.

Lando liked me.

You're on the nice. Get... Night!

Night, freaky Nicky.

Ew, don't call me that.

I know. I was kidding.

You know I don't like that. Sorry.

I know I'm sorry.

Do you like me?

What? Because if you do, now's the time to tell me.

I... I think we're good friends.

Okay.

Good. Good night.

One wish will amaze your friends. You only get one wish.

I wish Nikki Freeman loved me more than anyone in the fucking world.

Um, hey, I just had to pull up directions. You said you had something

for me?

Um, yeah.

I left it at home.

Okay.

Um, I can bring it to work tomorrow.

Oh, okay.

Okay. Good night.

Maybe you want to come inside?

I mean, I did just lose my cat, Bear.

You lost your cat?

Oh, wait.

Uh, I mean, I mean, you lost your cat.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Do you, should we, do you want to come inside, or?

Nikki, are you okay?

Are you okay?

Am I okay because of the cat?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine. Why don't you come inside and we can have some drinks and

talk about your cat.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Yeah. Nikki, I'm confused.

I think you're drunk.

No!

Wait, what the fuck?

Hey, what the fuck?

Are you okay?

I'm acting so weird.

This is so weird.

What the fuck?

No. Why are you... No, no.

What are you doing? Come on.

What the fuck?

Actually, no.

What are you doing?

I know what you're trying to do.

What the fuck?

Nikki, no.

Why are you getting in my car?

Let's go to your place.

Nikki, you are honestly freaking me out.

Oh, God, no.

I have never seen you act like this before.

What the fuck is wrong with you? I must be...

Pretty fucked up. Yes, I know. Which is why I think you should go home.

And we'll pick this up tomorrow.

I can't do that.

Uh... I just don't know if I can be alone right now.

Why?

My dad's dying.

Nikki, no.

I'm so sorry.

I just took one step inside my house and I couldn't.

Can we go, please?

Where do you want to go?

Yep.

This is it.

It's, uh... It's bigger than your last place.

Yeah, um, it's Grandma's. I got to... keep it.

Does it smell bad? No.

No, just you.

It's nice.

I like it here.

Let me know if you need, like, water or towels or, I don't know, Advil or

something. Okay.

I'm sorry I was weird earlier. No, no need to apologize. Just, um, take all

the space or time that you need.

Okay?

Good night.

Wait.

Yeah?

Can you sleep with me?

Please?

Um... Please, I just... I'll get in my head all night and stare at the ceiling.

Please?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You okay?

Given the circumstances, yeah.

I'm really sorry about your cat bear.

I think you got me beat on that one.

What the fuck?

What? What? What?

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

You kissed me. I know. I thought I saw something.

What the fuck was that? I don't know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No, no, no, no,

no. Nikki, what the fuck was that? I don't know. I just... Can we sleep?

I'm sorry.

You don't have to be sorry. It's just... Shit.

You made me feel like I did something you didn't like. No.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I just... I thought I saw something. Oh, my God. Shit. It was a

panic attack.

What?

It was a panic attack.

Really? Yeah.

I'm just so...

What were you doing?

I was just going to the bathroom.

Can you lay with me?

I don't know, Nikki.

No, you're supposed to like it.

It's a memorial.

No,

it's fucked up.

Well, I don't know if it's fucked, Bear.

No, it is.

Is that good?

Why would that be good?

What show me the plug and keyboards it isn't working because I don't want to

get some Karen and it's just it don't say Karen No, but it isn't that someone

that says no no Just Okay,

what the fuck what the fuck happened last night, okay?

The crazy fucking

What did you say to her? I didn't fuck with you. I just saw you come in

together. Yeah.

Did she sleep over?

By the way, you gotta clock in.

What are you afraid of? Sarah?

Just pretend like we're... Laugh.

Yeah. I think Nikki is going through something.

What? I don't know, dude. She was acting super fucking weird. Like she would,

like... Like what? Is she okay?

No.

Did she tell you what's wrong?

Sort of.

Well, what the fuck is it?

I'm gonna let her tell you. Don't fucking bring it up and then don't tell

me, you fucking asshole. Her dad has cancer.

Really? That's what she told me.

Her dad in Washington that she doesn't care about. It still hurts, I guess. I

don't know.

Yeah, yeah.

I think it's more than that. I think she's having a mental breakdown or

something. She would freak out and then she would snap back to happy. What the

fuck? Fuck, are you joking? She was kissing me and crying.

It was really fucking weird. So you told her how you felt, and then... I didn't

tell her.

What? I didn't tell her. She was kissing you.

That's what I'm saying. How exactly does that make fucking sense? I don't know,

dude. I think she needs serious help.

And she was crying? Yes, and then she would, like, snap back to normal.

It was terrifying. It was, like, psychotic.

I don't know, and then she wanted me to, like, cuddle.

And sleep with her. Did you? No. Have you fucked up? I do.

Don't fuck with me. She was freaking me out.

You think she was on Molly again?

I mean, I don't think.

Yeah, dude. It sounds like she was on fucking Molly.

Yeah, maybe. I'm gonna go talk to her.

Wait, wait. Is she still looking?

Yep. Totally.

She's just chill the fuck out clock the fuck in I'm gonna need you to play moon

river on the piano for that 14 year old shit brick. Hey bear sarah, honey. Will

you stop the percussion?

All right, come on guys big day today Dude I need a fucking

drink after that shit insane told you i'm pouring myself I'm calling it a

night. Um, have a good one.

Thank you Uh nikki, I don't know if I can take you home today I know, I'm just

grabbing my purse.

Oh.

Ready? Yep.

Oh.

Excuse me.

Are you going to take her?

Yeah. Want to take her?

I'm good.

Trust me.

Bye, guys.

See ya.

I looked at, like, three different websites, and, like, I think...

She was? Yeah.

Did you talk to her?

Yeah, I did.

What did she say?

She, uh, she, she's, she's good.

Everything's good. She wasn't, like, looking at you or anything.

She was staring at me.

Maybe, but I was just talking to her. She was looking at both of us. We looked

like we were talking about her.

So, that explains it. You guys walked in together. I'm gonna just call her.

I had to shower and I didn't know what to wear.

For what?

So I'm really sorry about last night.

Ian told me you were freaked out.

I'm just glad I could be there, I guess.

Yeah, so I probably shouldn't have taken anything.

So, I was on MDMA.

Wasted. That's okay.

Do you remember stuff?

Some of it. I mean, so if I was weird, that's why. And my dad made me a mess,

and so I did things I probably wouldn't have done otherwise. And I'm not saying

that you took advantage of me.

Nikki, I didn't know you were on drugs.

That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying that. Not saying what?

You took advantage of me. I don't think... I didn't... I know, that's

why... I'm saying you didn't.

Okay, good.

I just, um, don't like to... I really like what we have,

and I want to be honest about some things, and it's really important for

me... It's okay.

Um, you know, I get it.

I get it.

I know you like me, Bear.

No, I... Why do you like me?

Would it freak you out if I said yes?

How long have you felt that way?

It's just happened over time.

It started during Christmas, and... I don't know, it just... Then last night I

saw what we could...

Do you have feelings for me?

Yeah I do.

And then you leaned in and you whispered, I'll be in your band.

How's your dad doing?

Can we not talk about that?

Okay.

So, what do you want to do? I mean, I've never really asked.

Well, that's not all your fault. I mean...

I'm kind of private, I guess.

You guess?

I've been told.

By who?

Ian.

You.

Actually, you told me that once.

I did?

You called me a closed book.

Well, I guess the good thing about a closed book is I get to read it from the

start.

You're a food critic or something.

You put ketchup on your steak. I'll come in and they'll be like, hey, aren't you

the food guy?

And I'll say, please, call me 3 by Bailey.

And then they will serve me a four-course meal, and I'll pull out my

wallet, and they'll say, no, no, no, sir, please, tonight, on the house. And

then I get paid. Is that how that goes?

I actually don't know.

You're my little food critic.

What's the verdict on this bread?

This bread?

Mm-hmm.

Oh.

Hmm.

Slightly stale, but the butter makes up for that shit.

Profound. That'll be $100.

Well... Sorry.

It's the second time he's called.

I'll be right back.

What is it, dude? I'm busy.

Busy doing Nikki?

What do you want?

Okay, so... What is it?

I'm not gonna tell Sarah about this because I don't want to spread drama.

I looked into Nikki's dad having cancer.

And he's healthy as a baby.

He's been to work, like, every day.

Why would she lie about that, Ian? I don't know. For attention.

I called the hospital she told me about, and they didn't even know who I was

talking about.

Look, you know I always got your back on this stuff.

Apparently, Nikki and Sarah had a conversation about you. That day you

weren't in, and...

Nikki said she just thought of you like her little brother, or, you know, and

she, like, friend-zoned you. And, look, that may suck to hear, but I just think

you gotta know because, I don't know, I think she has some kind of ill

intentions or something freaking mental is going on, man.

And maybe Sarah's jealous and made that up, but, like, even if you take that out

of the equation, this is strange, dude.

It's like Nikki snapped into a different person. She's all of a sudden, in fact,

only with you.

everything okay

nikki

do you what

never mind i have something for you

what is it um

What is it?

Open it.

It's a... It's a tiger's eye.

Wow. It was my mom's, and then it was mine.

It's supposed to bring you confidence and willpower, so... Now you can be a

food critic.

Why are you giving it to me?

Bear, I love you so, so, so, so, so much.

I don't think I could live without you.

You love me more than anyone in the world?

Yes, more than anyone.

Nikki.

Does your dad really have cancer?

No.

No, no, no.

What?

We are.

We are. We are. We are.

It's okay.

We are.

We are.

Then why does it matter?

Does it matter to me?

Nikki?

Go back to sleep.

Nikki.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Watching you sleep.

You're so cute when you sleep.

Wearing my sweater, huh?

Smells like you.

Can you come back to bed? No.

Nikki?

I do

just

come back to bed, please

Nikki, what are you doing?

Nikki!

What do you want me to do?

For Sandy, okay?

Morning. Morning.

Yeah?

Did you cut my hair?

Yeah.

Let's not do that.

Okay. Packed you a lunch.

Can we talk about last night?

I know.

I know. I know.

It's kind of weird.

Right?

Yeah.

I'm so sorry.

Okay. Good. Because if I'm being honest, it was kind of terrifying.

Oh, my God.

So sorry. I had a bad dream and I just...

You what?

How's this?

Not great.

Okay. Listen, Nikki.

Come here. I think... Come here. Listen.

So, so, so. Okay, okay, okay. Good.

Good.

So, will you promise me something?

Yes.

No more weird stuff.

All right?

No more watching me while I sleep or, like, moving weird.

Okay. All right?

I super promise, and I'm so sorry that it even happened.

Okay. Okay. So, we're good. We're good. We're good.

Great. Great.

We're good.

All right.

Oh, God, I'm gonna miss you.

I wish I was scheduled today.

No, no, just enjoy your day off.

Maybe I can pop by.

No, no, just make yourself at home.

Love you.

Love you.

If you're having trouble with the dorm, maybe you should just stay home. Nope, I

got it.

Why is everyone so entitled these days?

Like, people have no patience.

It was so clear I was busy.

And they won't stop pestering me.

What the fuck is that?

Inside joke.

You going to Ian's thing tonight?

First I've heard.

Well...

Well, what?

I heard what you told Ian.

About what?

About Nikki.

How she friends with me.

I don't know what Nikki said in the past, but... I mean, we literally talked

about it once.

I just think that it's weird how you two are dating all of a sudden.

Like super dating.

I don't know, Sarah. Look, I couldn't care less whatever game Nikki is

playing. I just don't want you to get hurt. What is your problem with Nikki?

And if Ian's gonna spread my shit, then you should know. Ian and... We got

another one.

God, I'm nervous.

This is what I get for being such a fucker in high school, huh?

Is that your... the last one?

No, one more.

Luther.

You can give me a tattoo without school.

Has to be small in a hidden location.

Your lunch smells weird.

Oops! Jesus!

My little food critic. What are you doing?

My little food critic.

Well, what's the verdict on cat?

What?

What does that mean?

What's the verdict, cat?

Bear, what's that mean?

That is so fucking weird.

Bear, what does that mean?

What?

Bear, what is it?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Are you okay? Bear, what's... Oh my god!

Bear, are you okay? What's going on?

Oh my god!

Dad. I can't do that. I can't look at that. What does that mean? Inside joke.

Aaron.

Yo, can I get a ride home?

Where's your car?

I had to Uber today.

Check engine light.

I was going to run some errands. Come on, we're neighbors.

So, we gonna talk about you and Nikki?

What about it?

You come to me, saying Nikki's having like some fucking crazy mental breakdown

or something, and that she needs to get help, and now you're acting like, oh,

no, no, we're in love, she's fucking fine, everything's perfect. She was on

drugs, Nikki is literally fine.

Okay, can you just please break this down for me? She's lying about cancer.

I'm not going to break this down for you. And now she's sleeping over all the

time. I don't want to break down our relationship.

Lying about her dad. I mean, you have to admit that. It's crazy. Oh, by the way,

I heard you were having a party tonight.

Don't change the subject. Why didn't you invite us?

Oh, oh, so now you're an us.

Well, why didn't you invite me to the party? Don't change the subject.

I'm not going to invite you two to my place.

Why not?

Because.

It kind of looks like Nikki's going through something.

And... It kind of looks like you're taking advantage of the situation.

And I say it with love, bro. I'm saying it with love. I'm on your side, but it's

a bad look. What do you think this is going to look like to other people?

Carter even said something.

It's a bad look, man. That's so unfair, dude.

She's the one who won't leave me alone.

Fine.

You want to come over tonight?

I don't know, maybe.

Nikki can't come.

Dude, no.

Nikki can't come. It's boys night. Great.

I'm sure she'll be fine with it. I'll text Sarah not to come and that should

be completely fine.

Because if the relationship is healthy and it's not built on some codependency,

dad dying, not dying, what the fuck ever, then she should be completely, she

should have no fucking problem with you coming to a boys night. I'm totally fine

with it too. You are fine with it.

I'm very upset.

You can't cook the cat.

You can't cook the cat, okay?

I'm going to hang out with Ian tonight.

Hello?

Hey.

What's up?

Um, is this... One Wish Willow?

Yeah.

Uh, okay.

Um... Okay, I was... calling to see if there's a

way I can... alter a wish.

Would you like to cancel your wish?

No. No, no, no.

It's okay to keep the... I just want to know if I can, like... alter it a

little.

I'm sorry, we don't really do that.

No?

If you have any questions about how the wish works or if you read the back of

the box... Is it even real?

Yeah, it's real.

No, I know that the... Is her love real?

Okay,

then I would like to cancel.

Yes, yeah, a cancel request.

What?

You were just making it sound like I could put in a request.

What the hell? What can I do then?

So she's just fucked forever?

As long as I live.

I mean, when you die, the wish will go away.

You sure there's nothing else I can do?

Okay, but wait.

She does this thing where she's like... freaks out.

What is that?

Do you want to talk to her?

What? Who?

Do you want to talk to her?

Who is that?

What the fuck happened?

I don't know what to do. Do you need, like, a... Oh, God, I... It's okay.

I'm disgusting.

Did you have a seizure or something? What happened? I ate a bug, or I have a

stomach bug, I think. Okay, I don't know what to do.

I was just waiting for you to come home.

Oh, my God, I'm disgusting.

I... I'll shower.

Let's go take a shower, okay? I'll clean it up. I'll clean it up. It's okay.

You can... I'll go shower.

Yeah. And I'll clean it up. I promise.

Um, you can... I'll clean it up, baby.

It's okay.

Um, Nikki?

We talked about this.

Did you cook the cat?

Nikki, you can't do that.

I am very upset about that.

Hey, listen, um, Ian invited me to a boys' night tonight.

Okay.

So I think I'm just gonna go to that, if that's okay with you. Go to the boys'

night?

Yeah.

Oh, man, that sounds great.

Yeah, let me finish showering.

It's just that, um... Ian said it was a boys' night.

So I think maybe I'll just go.

Are you okay?

That's so weird, because... Sarah was telling me that she's going.

Really?

I mean, if Sarah's going... No, no, no.

No, you know what? I think you should come. I really want you to come.

No!

If you wanted me to go, you would tell me to go!

I knew you were gonna bring her. I fucking knew it. She guilt you? She

didn't guilt me. Shut the fuck up. You couldn't be without her for three

fucking hours? Sarah invited her. What was I supposed to do? Sure.

You told me you weren't gonna invite Sarah. Sarah did nothing wrong.

Okay choose someone to drink every time you do for the next three rounds

Geez,

there's what kind of sponge you put on her.

So true.

Thank you.

It's your turn.

The air was charged by the distinct call of a nightmare.

His face was obscured, but I knew he was looking at my chest.

Each side stretching, recently matured to different sizes.

And so, come lie with me like the old woman taught us when we were children.

I said.

He closed the door and leaned against it.

You're not my wife, Redo, he said.

I'm more than your wife.

I'm your sister.

Hensel flinched and reached for the door handle. I knew he would not leave this

place. He would relent and choose to be inside me like he had many nights

before.

If not, I would fillet his meaty forearm, roll it like a stick of

licorice, and insert the flesh between my legs.

Hansel is my soul, a love only the branch of a willow tree could

conjure.

Brother, you will be inside me tonight.

New book I'm working on. I don't have to drink.

It's your turn, Joe.

I switched spots with Baron, so it's his turn now.

Oh, shit. Okay.

Kiss the person on your left.

on this earth will ever comprehend what it feels like to love someone as much as

I love you.

And everyone in this room will die never feeling the strength of connection I

have felt with my bear.

Nikki.

Are you okay?

I'm just kidding, guys.

I'm just kidding.

Come on. It's a joke.

I'm just joking.

Okay, fine.

I'm not joking. Deal with it.

Anybody want any Jell-O shots?

I'll take one. Thank you, Reggie. Cool.

Any other takers?

It's not me!

It's not me!

No, no, no. Get her to the hospital.

I'm so sorry.

Stand still for a second.

Are you listening to me? Get up!

Where are you going?

Just going to the bathroom, thank you.

Okay.

Okay.

Can I stand outside?

Why did you do this?

I don't know. Why did you act like that tonight?

Nikki, you're scaring everyone.

I don't know why I did it. You hurt yourself. I'm sorry.

Look at your face.

I know Sarah likes you.

That's... That's... What?

That's just... I'm fucking... Everything was normal.

Everything was good.

You were so... I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Look, you were so...

Beautiful and if you are normal, but this is not this isn't okay Nikki

Do you like me

No,

no, no, no, no, do you do you like me do you even like me at all

I'm your freaky Nikki.

No, no, no.

Where are you going?

I'm going to the bathroom, Nikki. Can I do that? Can you tell me you love me?

This is all I've ever wanted.

Me too.

No, it's not.

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is, Bear. It's always been you. I want this to work so bad.

It can. No, no, no, it can't.

Yes, it can. Okay, okay. Then you need to go home.

for one night or and and we need to like take some space from each other okay

No, listen.

Nikki wouldn't say that. I just want you to act like Nikki.

I'll be... Let me be Nikki.

You're not being like Nikki. I can't be Nikki!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I can be Nikki.

I can be Nikki.

I love you.

It's not real.

What do you mean?

It's not real.

I love you in every reality appearance.

I

love you too.

I

would

never hurt you Why

don't

you

bed for yourself tonight and i'll just go sleep again i'll come back right in

the morning okay nikki what are you doing

nikki what are you doing

well

if i have the bed all to myself tonight i'll lay there warm

Until slowly I feel cold, like I walked into a freezer.

My hands will feel like they're full of sand, like when you lay on them wrong.

And that feeling will slowly spread across my entire body.

You're still in my heart, but you're slipping.

Any thought of pain or regret will slip away.

like chemical switch.

Even though it's quiet in the room, somehow it gets even quieter.

It's not painful.

You just let go of everything you once were.

And then there's nothing.

It's not darkness.

No, sweetie.

I'm just getting water.

Kill me, please.

What?

She's sleeping.

What would be so bad?

What's so bad about being with me?

I've never been with you, Barry.

I didn't know you still did this.

Did what?

Parked at Franklin and chilled.

Oh.

I don't really do this anymore.

So what the fuck is up with Nikki?

Well... She hasn't really told many people this, but...

Her dad is dying.

Isn't she, like, not close with him at all?

No, they're close now, so... It's, you know, painful.

I thought she hated her dad.

No, she doesn't.

I really do hope she figures it out. She seems pretty fucked up.

And I also don't think it's right that she's leaning on you.

Especially since her and... I don't mind being there for her. No, but that's not

your responsibility, Bear.

She needs therapy. It's not right. And I don't think it's okay that she's taking

advantage of you. I don't think she's taking advantage of me.

Hey, so I, um... I got my letter.

Your letter from Luther?

Yeah. My last chance.

Figured we could open it together.

Oh, sh... Maybe my dad will let me tattoo a successful daughter where his

hairline's supposed to start.

Can I pay you to do that?

We can take him to sleep.

I have sleeping pills in my pocket. We can literally take him tonight.

Do you want to open this thing?

I need to tell you some things.

I promised Ian I wouldn't tell you this. Tell me what?

Bear, Ian and Nikki have been hooking up on and off for like two years.

It's super casual and not romantic.

He thinks that she's dating you to get back at him.

But even if she's not, it's kind of a shame, you know?

I think you need someone...

Or chill.

Thank you.

Well... I mean... I was to your left.

What?

The game.

Oh.

It was to your left.

You were supposed to kiss me.

I'm so sorry you had to see that, baby.

But it is kind of your fault.

Just remember that you wanted this.

But I'm so happy you did.

I'm so happy you did, baby.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Honey, breathe, breathe.

It's okay.

It's okay, honey.

I've got you. We need each other.

We need each other. But you're gonna have to help me get rid of her body.

No, no. Yes, yes, honey. No.

Honey, I know. I know, I know, I know, I know. Listen, this is all your fault.

Sarah's your fault. You wanted this. You wished for this.

But, baby, we can fix this. I'll fix this with you. I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not going anywhere.

She's ready, baby.

Why don't you come home? I'll take you from here.

Excuse me.

Where are the one-wish willows?

What? It looks like this, but it's like a... It's like you make a wish, you

break it.

They were right there. They were over there in the corner.

The one-wish willows!

What's a one-wish willow?

First of all, sir, don't come in here with this.

It is too early.

And second of all, I'm fucking with you. They're right here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You made a shitty wish and now you want to reverse it. But you

can't come in here with this energy, man.

Did you call the number on the back?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Me? How could you sell this to people?

The box is full of warnings, man. Fuck you!

Hey, fuck you, man!

But you don't storm in here with this energy, man.

I'm sorry.

Nobody would buy it.

I'm sorry.

Oh, shit.

Oh, God.

What did you do?

She's obsessed with me.

Oh.

Oh, that's not so bad.

No, something bad happened.

I'm sorry.

I need to reverse it. No.

No, no, no, no. I need to reverse it.

You can make a wish. I already used my wish, man. What the fuck do I do?

Well, maybe, maybe, if someone else made a wish that contradicts your wish, I

mean, maybe you could ask her. I mean, since it's for you, she just might do

it.

Or you could die.

You could kill yourself.

Yeah, I'm just spitball here if you ever want to.

I wish you, Nicky Freeman, only love, days, and friends.

I texted you 50 times.

Jesus Christ, Bear, what the... So you know how Nikki all of a sudden

started... Is she okay? Yes.

Why is Sarah texting me, man?

She wants me to come over to your place. She texts me over and over, like all

this weird shit. Fuck.

What's happening? What the fuck is happening? Just stay here. Is Nikki

okay? Do not come over. Bear, Bear, tell me what the fuck is happening right now!

Fuck. Okay, okay, okay. So, Nikki...

She started liking me out of nowhere.

All of a sudden.

And then acting weird.

Yes or no?

Bear, what the fuck are you gonna tell me right now, man? Is she okay?

I... I made a wish.

I broke this piece of wood. At first, I didn't think it was real.

Okay? I was confused, but this is real. This is fucking real.

What?

You can make a wish.

And you, you can make one wish, and it is real, and it will work.

I made a wish. I didn't think it would work. I wished that Nikki would love me,

but it worked.

Think about it, dude. Think about how she's been acting lately.

Think about how drastically she changed.

Okay, what... What did you take her to? Like, a psychic? What? What? What did it

do? A fucking program?

No, you don't... Fuck, there's not a fucking program, Ian!

Is this a joke to you?

No!

This is real.

This? Yes, be careful. Yes, it's real.

It's fucking real, Ian. I made a wish and it's fucking horrible. Then make

another fucking wish, man.

You can't. You can't.

Because you only get one wish. Oh, you only get one. Okay, yeah.

That makes sense. One wish.

You only get one wish, Ian.

But it's real.

It's real.

I need you to make a wish.

I need you to wish that I never made a wish.

Okay?

And then you can be with Nikki.

Oh, so that's what this is about? I don't even give a fuck about that, dude.

Seriously, just open the box and then just be careful about how you word it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, dude, stop. Okay, I need you to say, I wish my friend

Barry... I wish for a billion dollars.

Nikki, I need you to do something for me.

Nikki, you'll do anything for me, right?

I need you...

I'll do everything for you, baby.

Are you better now?

I need you to do something for me. Why can't you love me?

Stop!

It's okay, baby. We're gonna make this work.

I'll make this work.

You have to, baby. I will, baby.

I'm gonna make this work. You have to. I will.

I'm sorry for the theatrics. I don't know why I do that. It's okay, sweetie.

I love you. I love you so much. I'm sorry.

It's okay, baby. I'm gonna be pretty again.

You're so beautiful.

You're the most beautiful girl in the entire world.

What?

What's wrong, baby?

You shook your head.

No, I didn't.

Why'd you shake your head?

I was just thinking that we should freshen up, baby. Okay.

Okay. Let's go.

Come on.

I know who you are.

Shit.

Kiss me Whisper sweet
