FISHER HOME
"Hey,
Mol,"
Jason calls out from
his bedroom.
It is a moment before Molly pokes
her head in the door. "Yeah?"
"Does this match?" he asks, still
examining himself in the mirror.
"Yeah, it looks good." She pushes
the door all the way open and comes in. "Nice work. There may be hope for
you yet, kid."
"I don't think I'll ever achieve
your level of fashion maven-ness, but thanks, I do what I can." He spends
a few seconds more adjusting himself in the mirror and then turns to her.
"Jeez, this is some Christmas."
She can see right to the core of
what he's implying. "Things still aren't better with Courtney?"
"Nope. She's totally blown off skating
the last couple weeks -- she told Sandy
that she's not sure what she wants
to do now. And I haven't been able to have anything resembling a productive
conversation with her."
"I guess I can see why she'd be upset
about the whole thing, but this just seems ... extreme."
"I know!" He begins pacing over the
beige carpet. "And it's not like I don't know that I screwed up. I should
have at least kept Alex
from leading Lauren on like that. But Courtney
got mad at me when I tried to convince her not to push them together."
Molly takes a seat on the bed before
he can run her down. "You were being a good friend to Alex. Maybe the interests
conflicted a little, but you were in a tough position. I think you made
a good choice in respecting his privacy."
"Thanks," he says quietly. "It's
nice to hear someone say that. Courtney seems to think that I put my friendship
with Alex ahead of my relationship with her. She thinks she can't trust
me anymore."
"I don't know what to tell you. If
it were me in her position -- I wouldn't be reacting like this, I'll tell
you that."
"This is how she reacts to everything.
She has a fit and has to make it something bigger than it is. But you know
what's the worst part? I miss her. I wanna get back to where we were before
all of this."
"Then fight for her," Molly says
with obvious confidence. "Make it work. If the two of you are meant to
be together, you'll get through this."
