What can I do for you?
Do you know what time it is?
Yeah. It's, um,
it's a little after 12:00.
Anything else?
Nice watch.
Parker.
You're a smart kid,
and a smart kid would know that maybe next time,
he won't be lucky enough to walk away

You have a good rest of your day, okay, bud?

what grade someone's getting in English class this semester.
Knock it off, Ashley.
Like you've never hooked up with a guy you shouldn't...

Yeah, I know, but how could you say something so stupid?
Wow. You know what? Save it, Bre.
What are you doing here?
Laura, hey. Your mom needed a last-minute babysitter
when you didn't come home after school, so I volunteered.
Chloe, don't you have homework?
Just one more game.
- Chloe. - Please?
Hey, you heard your sister.
We can play next time I come over, okay?
Okay.
- Next time? - Yeah.
I gave up my shifts at the hospital a couple of days a week
so you wouldn't have to watch her all the time.
Was that my mom's idea or was that yours?
Your mom's, and she gave me a spare key.
So I can get in whenever I need to.
Is... is everything okay with Bre?
You seem pretty upset.
I mean, it's just a stupid fight.
Look, it's... it's been a really hard day,
and I-I want to be alone.
Oh, yeah. Of course.
Feel better, okay?
She's not worth getting mad about.

Hey, Bre. I was hoping to be able to talk to you today.
I don't like being mad at you.
So call me when you get a chance.
Laura just walked in the door.
I got to call you back.
Hi, Mom. What's up? [exhales sharply]
Bre was admitted to the hospital this morning.
She got hit by a car while jogging.
- Is she okay? - She will be.
- Do they know who did it? - It was a hit-and-run.
- That's it. - What?
Where are you going?
Laura...
- Did you witness the accident? - No.
But last night, I told him I was mad at her,
and today, she's in a hospital bed.
Look, I have to be honest with you.
You're not giving me much to go by.
So you're not gonna do anything?
Laura, hey.
- Did you follow me here? - What? No.
I'm meeting my parents down the street for dinner.
And what are you doing at the police station?
I-I went in to see if they had any information
about what happened to Bre.
Well, why would you care?
I mean, aren't you really mad at her?
That's what you said yesterday.
Yeah. Bruce, we got into a fight.
But she's still my best friend.
Best friends don't fight, Laura,
and you shouldn't be so back-and-forth
on who you keep close to you.
I'm gonna go.
Laura...
what are you doing tomorrow night?
We should go out.
Alison told me not to ask you. I just...
Wait. You talk about me with Alison?
Yeah.
All the time.
She's great with advice.
So what do you say?
Tomorrow is my mom's late night at the hospital.
So I'm on Chloe duty.
- Well, maybe I could stop by. - Can I let you know?
Because, um, I still have a lot of homework to catch up on.
Yeah. Sure.

Mom, Bruce was in the house last night.
Laura...

You're gonna trust a stranger over your own daughter?
Look, I am trying to give you the benefit of the doubt,

You're unreliable with your sister,

No. This has nothing to do with Dad.

I still think about Nick every day.
You have no idea how much I cared about him.
What are we supposed to do, Laura? I mean, we're kids.
I'm gonna talk to his ex-girlfriend, Alison.
I looked up the family, and I found her sister on Facebook.
They live in Stone Bridge.

Not much. He told me they have a complicated relationship,

No, no.

He was a little intense, maybe, but no.
Alison really loved him.
Is that her?
Yeah. That's Ali.
Hey, she... She kind of looks like you.
I guess Bruce has a type.
When is she coming back?
Okay. I don't... I don't...
I don't know what Bruce has been telling you,
but Alison died almost four years ago.

No. It's okay.
It was in a car accident.
Bruce took it really hard, actually.
He always blamed himself.

No. Thank you.
