There's nothing wrong with being like you, Tyke. I like being me just fine, don't get me wrong, but that doesn't mean everyone needs to be. And I know for a fact there's plenty I can learn from you, because I already have.
Don't-- you're a good person. Don't sell yourself short.
[That there's nothing wrong in being like Taylor. That she's a good person. There's a lot Jenna doesn't know about her, about where she came from, what she's done. So she can't know that.]
I do. And before you say it-- no, I don't know your past. I don't know what you did before you met me, or if you were a person I'd like or if I'd approve of your life choices, fill in the blank with whatever it is making you think there's something... lacking, since I can't find a better word.
What I know is that I've known you for almost a solid year now, and I like to think I can make accurate judgement calls a lot faster than that. Whoever you used to be, right now you're someone I respect and care about. A lot, on both counts. That's the part that matters.
[ because in the year they've known each other, she hasn't seen anything that might shake tyke's faith in her general worth as a person; it doesn't take a super genius to see whatever is sticking for her, it happened before they met. ]

[Because that's what happens. People realise, they find out just how much of a fuck up Taylor is - a freak - and then they leave. The only one she really believes (hopes) it might be different with is Tommy, and even then, there's still a part of her just waiting for him to change his mind.]

You don't want to be like me.
General calm is a whole fucking lot.
Thanks, Jenna.

Can't do this now need to work.

Because this kind of stuff is my thing and I'm absolutely not wrong, but we don't have to talk about it. You should just know I'm still 100% sure.
[ well this just rocketed her involvement here from about a hundred percent to a zillion. ]
I'll see you later, and stay warm.
