"Hey."

"..."

"Are you alright?"

"Not really."

"What's wrong?"

"It's my parents."

"Did you fight with them?"

"Kind of. It was about prom. After what you said I realised I really wanted to go and I talked to them about taking a specific person, but they don't think I should do that."

"I don't understand. What could they have against a person? I mean, if you want to go with him and he treats you right, that should be fine. It's your choice anyway, not theirs."

"I know. I just don't want to disappoint them. Or disappoint others."

"How could you disappoint them? You're smart, you're kind, you seem to have everything. I remember when I was young, I used to think you were perfect."

"I was never perfect and I'm certainly not anymore."

"You are to me, El. You're the best friend I've ever had. I wouldn't know what to do without you in my life. You will never disappoint me. Make your own choices, I'll support you. Even if nobody will."

"..."

"Are you crying?"

"I'm sorry..."

"Don't be."

"You're just so kind, I don't deserve you."

"You don't deserve all those people who aren't kind. You deserve everything and more."

"Can you play guitar for me?"

"Of course, everything to make you feel better."

"Beautiful, like always. Thank you, Finn."

"No problem. Goodnight, Ella."

"Goodnight."
