Summary: At your high school reunion, you find yourself accidentally assigned the same hotel room as your bully. At first, she teases you and reminds you of all the ways she humiliated you years ago, but she softens after a sudden phone call gives her some bad news. You find yourself comforting her, and the two of you start to grow closer than you'd expected...

Hey… hey! Wake up, buddy. You dozed off in my hotel room.

Yeah, yeah open those eyes, chop chop. You're in my room. Time to go.

…

Wait a minute… I know you. Oh my god…

…

Woah! What a blast from the past, it's you! Damn… What the hell are you doing here? (Laugh)

…

Oh, you're here for the reunion too? I guess that checks out, but… you're like the last person I expected to show up to this thing. Usually people only come to high school reunions when they, like, had at least one friend in high school. (Laugh) Oh my god, it's been so many years since I last saw you, you look so different…

…

Yep, that's my name, don't wear it out. (Laugh) I'm almost surprised you still remember, it was so long ago... Man, I did not think you and I would ever cross paths again, but here we are, I guess. What the hell are you doing in my hotel room, anyway?

…

Uh, no, it's not your room, dummy. It's my room. Read my keycard, 1408. I double-checked the room number outside the door, this is definitely–

…

Huh? Well that's weird… your keycard says 1408 too… I guess… there must be some kind of mix-up because they gave us the same room. Guess you need to get out and go ask the concierge for a different room… But hold on a sec, now that we're here, let's catch up. You won't mind if I just sit down on the bed here next to you, will you?

…

What? Why are you looking at me like that? Don't tell me you don't want to catch up with your old gal pal after all this time. (Laugh) Remember all those good times we had?

…

No! No I'm not... okay, maybe I'm a little tipsy, dine. (Laugh) There's an open bar downstairs, I had to take advantage a little.

...

Oh my god, looking at your face squinting up at me right now it's all rushing back to me… all those happy memories. Well, happy for me, anyway. (Laugh) Remember when you were walking to Robotics Club or whatever with all those pizzas and you fell and they all went up in the air, you were lying on the floor looking up at me with exactly that expression, all confused with pizza sauce dripping down–

…

Oh… oh yeah. Right, I remember now… you didn't fall. I tripped you. (Laugh) And those pizzas just went flying, it was like that one scene in Breaking Bad! Man, it's all coming back, I can picture it like it was yesterday… Come on, you have to admit that was pretty funny, right?

…

Oh, don't look at me with that pout. You used to pout just like that when I made fun of you before, too, with your little hands trembling. (Laugh)

You're not still mad about me playing one or two little pranks on you back then, are you? Well, okay, maybe it was more than one or two… but still, it was years ago. Here, if you want I can say "I'm sorry," or whatever... Are you really still mad? (Laugh)

…

Why'd you come anyway? I mean, I guess you probably have enough free time, if nothing else. No offense…

…

What? I said no offense! That's not even a bad thing, really, having free time. Though... okay I guess I can see how it sounded kinda like an insult. I'm sorry, okay, damn. Relax. You're like my husband, he gets all sensitive about me ribbing him once in a while, too.

…

Where is he? (Lying) He's, uh… he's in the lobby, he's still chatting with people. Yeah… he's in the lobby… (Defensive) You know, socializing, making friends, being liked, all that stuff you were a pro at not doing back in school. (Laugh) I'm going to take a wild guess and assume you didn't bring someone, is that right?

…

(Sarcastic) Wow really? You're telling me the lamest guy from our graduating class didn't grow up to marry, like, a supermodel or a famous actress or something? I'm floored. (Laugh)

…

Okay, okay, that was kinda mean, sorry... (Laugh). I told you I'm a little tipsy, cut me some slack. It was just a joke... Oh wait, that actually reminds me… didn't you used to have like the biggest crush on me?

…

Don't lie to me, I can see you getting nervous again! (Laugh) You did, didn't you? Oh yeah… you even asked me to that dance! It wasn't Homecoming, it was the one after that, right? Oh my god… how could I forget…

…

Yeah I remember now. Oh my god... I pretended to say yes… and then you came to my house, right? You were dressed in that little tuxedo your mom probably ironed for you. And you were holding that cute bouquet of roses from the supermarket and that little pink corsage you were probably hoping to put on my wrist yourself… and then we poured a bucket of dishwater on you from my bedroom window! (Laugh) Oh my god… how could I forget that. Your face! You literally started crying! Though it was hard to tell with the suds running down your cheeks, to be honest.

...

I kinda forgot about that. I guess that was pretty mean of me, fine, you're right... but you have to admit it was a little funny, right? And come on, it was like a million years ago anyway! I'm sorry, I guess, but it's not like it's that big a deal. Don't be such a stick in the mud, man, it's not like--

[Phone rings]

Uh… I have to take this. Look, uh, great catching up with you and all, but do me a solid and find another room, okay? Tell the concierge to give you another one.

(On phone) Hello? Oh hey sweetheart, yeah wait one sec, let me just step into the bathroom, there's someone else in the room…

[Footsteps]

(On phone) Where are you anyway? The dinner is tomorrow…

…

(On phone) But… you said you would. You promised you'd come! You can't just not show up, I already told all my friends–

…

(On phone) Yeah… except… if I go by myself then I have to explain to everyone why I didn't bring my husband, and…

…

(On phone) Yeah, I know… but… you know how much this means to me. (Sniffle)

…

(On phone) You have to go? But… wait, we have to talk about this, you can't–

…

(On phone) …Okay. You seriously have to go right now? Okay. Fine. You and her have fun. Bye. (Sniffle)

[Footsteps]

(Sigh) Wait… why the hell are you still here? Didn't I tell you to go find another room? Go on, just leave! Go!

…

Nothing happened! And it's none of your business even if something did happen, I just… I don't know… I just need to lie down. (Sob)

…

No, I am not crying. Just go already, I... I just… okay, wait… wait, I'm sorry, please don't go. I… I don't think I can be alone right now…

…

I was… I was talking to my husband, okay? I lied earlier… he's not downstairs. He's not even at the hotel. What I didn't mention before was… he's actually my ex-husband. We've been separated for a couple of months now, we just haven't told anyone yet. (Sob) And he promised… he promised he would come to the big reunion dinner tomorrow and just pretend like things were normal for one night because he knows how important this is to me with all my friends being there… but he just called to tell me he couldn't make it because… because… Oh my god, why am I even telling you this. Just go. You don't care. It's fine.

…

No you don't. Just go. It's fine. You don't want to hear about my stupid problems…

…

You… You do? You mean that?

…

Okay. Well… thank you… I… I kind of need to tell someone, I don't know.

He says he can't come because he's busy spending time with his new girlfriend. (Sob) Oh my god… and now it's all ruined. My friends already know something is up with us, they're not going to believe whatever I tell them… They told me he was bad for me and I didn't listen, now I'm going to look like such an idiot… and I've totally ruined my makeup, too, I look like an ugly melted doll…

…

You… You don't think I look ugly?

…

You still think I look pretty, even with mascara dripping down my cheek? (Laugh) I… that's sweet of you to say. Thank you. Hey, uh, can you hand me a bottle of water from the mini fridge down there? I'll pay the room bill, I promise, I just need a drink...

…

Thank you. Mmm, that makes me feel better. And, uh, thanks for listening to my little outburst, I… that makes me feel a lot better, too. Having someone to listen to me vent. I wouldn't really have had anyone to talk to about this if you hadn't been here…

…

Aww, thanks… you're sweet. Hey, uh… I don't really know how to say this, but… I'm sorry. For earlier. I was like… being really mean. I guess, I just… this whole thing has been so stressful to go through… when I saw you here, I remembered all those times I was going through stuff at home or whatever in high school and I used to rag on you to take my mind off things. And I just kind of fell into that mindset again. I just wanted to explain, not that that excuses it...

I know it's hard to believe, but I'm really trying not to be that person anymore. That person who hurts other people because she feels hurt inside. I just… kind of suck at it, I guess… (Laugh)

…

No, I mean, that's nice of you to say, but I do. That thing about tripping you with the pizzas or whatever. You were right. That wasn't funny. It was just mean. And the dance prank... that was horrible to make you go through. I know it's way too late, but… I'm sorry. And I'm not just saying it this time... I mean it. And I'm sorry for making light of it earlier... I know better. I know stuff like that isn't a joke, it hurts people, and I know it hurt you. I'm not that person anymore, I swear.

…

Well, thank you for accepting my apology. You're a better person than I am, that's for sure. (Laugh) I don't really deserve it…

…

Really? So you're saying… you kinda figured that I was having a hard time, even back then? That I wasn't, like, a bad person, I was just acting like a bitch because I was going through stuff? I… I guess I never realized. I always thought I was only a bully in your mind. I never imagined that scrawny nerd I picked on would actually care whether the girl who made him miserable had issues in her own life… That's… super thoughtful of you.

…

I, uh, I hope you don't mind that I… put my arm around you just now. I… I'm embarrassed to admit this but… I kind of need a hug… (Laugh)

…

Oh! Oh… oh, thank you. Mmm. That feels so nice and warm, yes. No, no, it's really okay. I like to be held tight, just wrap your arms around me. Aww, do you like hugs too? Well, I guess it's really more of a cuddle since we're still in bed… You really don't mind cuddling with your big, bad bully?

…

Aww… thank you. You are so sweet, let me just stroke your hair a little. I kinda always knew that… I guess I just let my worst impulses take over when I saw you. If I could do it over… I'd do it differently. But I know that's not possible. Still… I don't know… maybe there's still time to make things right. We are at our high school reunion, after all.

…

What I'm saying is… and look, if you don't want to, that is completely okay, I understand, I get it, but… maybe fate is giving us another chance to get to know each other and do it right this time. Or, at least, a clerical error from the hotel management is. (Laugh) What I'm asking is… do you want to be my date to the reunion dinner tomorrow? Like, we don't have to be a couple or anything, just… as friends?

…

No, I'm being serious. Here, let me cup your cheek, look into my eyes. No trick, this isn't a joke. There's zero buckets of dishwater in your future, I promise. (Laugh) Seriously, I know it might be hard to believe but… if you could give me a chance… I wasn't acting like who I know I can be before, I really have changed. I'm not that person… but it's up to you. And if you don't want to, I–

…

Really? Do you mean it? Okay… that would make me so happy. Let's do it! You brought a suit and everything, right? Actually, even if you didn't, it's okay… we don't need to dress fancy or be flashy. What matters is that we're together and we have fun. And we will. I promise.

I guess my friends are still going to wonder what happened to my husband, but... I think I'll have the confidence to be honest with them if you're by my side. I was so scared to have to go all alone... but I'm not scared anymore.

…

Your hands rubbing my back feel so good… Mmm. Hey, by the way… I promise I'm not teasing you, but… I wasn't wrong about you having that huge crush on me in high school, was I? (Laugh)

No, no, don't be shy, seriously I'm not making fun of you. It's actually really cute… I kinda like you too. You're really sweet and kind, and such a good listener. So, uh, what would you say if I asked you to be my date to dinner as… more than friends?

…

Aww. My thoughts exactly. Sounds like we have a date, then. I can't give you back that dance I ruined, though I am really sorry about what I did back then... but I can give you something new. I'll introduce you to my friends properly, they aren't so bad either… you'll see. We're going to have a lot of fun together. I guess we need to get our rest for our big day, I know there's a lot of events and stuff planned. I'm okay with sharing this room and this bed if you are.

…

Awesome. Though… before we turn in for the night, there's one thing I wanted to try. Just, uh, close your eyes a second.

…

Nevermind why, just do it! (Laugh)

[Kiss]

Mmm… that was fun. Sorry, I should have asked, but I just really wanted to do that. I just... feel really close to you right now, and not just because we're two inches apart on the bed. (Laugh) I have this feeling things are going to go better now, for both of us.

Man… imagine what your past self would say if you could tell him you'd wind up kissing me here. He'd probably, like, high-five you. (Laugh) I… hope your present self likes it, too.

…

Aww… so did I. Here, hold me closer. There we go, nuzzle in. Mmm. Just like that. Thanks for being there for me...

[Kiss]
