They... both... suck. I was in love with this dude for months and he fell in love with me, too, and he kept stringing me along-- not maliciously-- only to shut me down when someone he loved more turned out to be available. And then... and then my friend Arch-- [ wait, she knows him, he thinks. ] --o. Archo. My friend-- Archo-- said things, like, "I don't know why I bother", about me, because he was tired of dealing with me, and he said I was more than just stupid, and... that I needed to grow the fuck up and-- and things. Worse things. That I deserved. But still hurt.

[ he looks down. pats lou a little more. ]

And I'm not-- as important. To anyone. As I want to be. And it sucks. That sucks.
