Do you always drop everything for her? It's not like that.
I know you said you're just friends.
I just I thought, you wanted I do.
She is going through something.
Sh She needs me there.
I'm the only person she can talk to.
Why you? Because I don't know It's private.
What about Vanessa? Can't she talk to her? No.
Not about this.
It's not about you, is it? No! I know that you said that you wanted you and I, just I know I must seem like kind of a bitch right now.
No Kenny I want to give this a shot.
But, how can I trust you if I know you're gonna keep things from me? Well, look, if I want to maintain your trust, then I have to maintain everyone's trust.
Including Rose.
That means I can't betray her trust either.
I mean, how could you trust me if I Sorry, guys.
No don't be.

- "I'm not!" But she's kind of pissed at you right now.
I know.
I screwed up.
I doubt she's ready to hear me say "I'm sorry" yet.
I just needed to know where she is.
Well, she's here.
She's gonna hang out here for a little while.
I'll walk her home later.
Thanks, Kenny.
When did you become so mature? I genuinely don't know.
Sometimes I even surprise myself.
Tell her I'll have tea waiting when she gets home.
Alright.
I'll see you later tonight.
Bye, Kenny.
He sounds really sorry.
I don't think he meant to do anything wrong.
I know.
But why did he have to be so stupid? Vanessa's mom is such a bitch.
Fuck.
Whatever.
Bet Vanessa takes after her mom.
She's such a bitch too.
Sit up, Vanessa! Nobody likes a grump at the table.
She's a confused girl.
My heart and prayers go out to her.
It's a shame.
I really think if she was parented Well, I just think it's a shame.
Do you have much homework this weekend? Good! You can help your father clean out the garage.
Don't even think about it, Steven! Not with your back Besides, Vanessa could use some time with her father.
You're gonna be stuck doing that all weekend.
Jacob! I won't have that mocking at the table.
Your father agrees with me.
Listen to your mother Sorry.
Good! And you can stay home this weekend too.
You've been out far too much.
That's what we need.
More time together as a family.
May I be excused? Do you have a lot of homework tonight? No, you may not be excused.
You've hardly touched any of the food on your plate.
Or is this the next thing? Not eating? Eat your dinner.
- If I hadn't come in when I did - It's not like that I'm gonna assume that you don't have an adult understanding of this situation.
And until you get a better grasp of what's going on, you're gonna take a little bit of a break from your friend, and gain some perspective.
It's for your own good.
Isn't it? It's for your own good.
Now eat your dinner.
It's getting cold.
