The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

My name is Lizzie Bennet, and I have never seen Jane like this.

I mean, in reality, I haven’t seen Jane at all since

she found out Bing left town without telling her.

She hasn’t left her room in two whole days.

The only reason I know she’s still alive is because

she keeps pinning sad pictures on Pinterest.

And Mom’s even worse.

Since she found out why Jane hasn’t left her room, she hasn’t left the couch.

I have never heard a grown woman wail so intensely.

Leave it to my mother to make something that’s not really

about her COMPLETELY about her.

I’m sorry, it… It really doesn’t feel right.

You know, in a way I’m glad that Jane’s locked herself up in her room.

She doesn’t need to deal with Mom’s grief on top of her own.

She needs to deal with this however she wants. However that may be.

Hi Lizzie!

Hi everyone.

Jane! You’re… you’re happy!

That’s great!

That’s great, right?

Why wouldn’t I be happy, Lizzie? It’s a beautiful day outside.

I have a great job, I’m alive, you're alive, our whole family’s alive…

There are people— there are kids, starving in Africa

and I’m not one of them so, you know, that’s a plus.

Everything is grand!

Okay, grand, yeah!

I… I… I sort of thought you were upset.

Upset? Why would I be upset?

- About Bing? - Oh! Oh, God, no. No.

Bing? No. Not at all. That’s… No.

- Oh. Kay. - No.

But you didn’t leave your room for two days.

That? Oh, no, I was crafting.

I did a lot of crafts and I actually made you this.

Look: I embroidered an “L” for Lizzie, or love, or life, or…

…anything you want. - Thank you. Thank you.

- Isn’t it cute? - Yeah.

- Look at the trees. - Jane, are you sure you don’t want

to talk about anything? Because I can do this later.

No! No! Lizzie, no. I’m fine.

I love your videos, and I really would love to

help you out with this one right now, actually.

Not in my room alone by myself with my thoughts and all that stuff. So…

I just would love to hear about everything that is going on with you.

What’s up, Lizzie?

- What’s up? - Okay.

- How’s… How’s George? - Good.

- Yeah? - George is good.

- Good. - He called me right after I posted my last video.

It turns out he didn’t make it to Bing’s party because a friend of his got sick

and he had to take him to the hospital and then

when he was in the ER his phone got stolen.

- Let’s reenact it. - What?

-Costume theater. - But, I mean that’s the whole story.

- It’ll be fun. Let’s do it. Why not? - Ohhhh kay.

Hey Lizzie. I’m sorry I bailed on the party the other night.

A friend of mine got really sick and I had to take him to the ER.

Why didn’t you call?

Well, I guess in the waiting room I dropped my phone, and someone took it.

Really? That’s the best you can come up with?

That’s what happened.

You just waited for days to say anything.
