Olivia

We have this ironclad friendship.

It's like the most special thing ever, truthfully.

Like we are each other's family.

We have obviously been through so much.

It was a really rough summer and I bought us tickets to go see this play.

And I was really hesitant to do it because I didn't want to like take her to something that was going to upset her.

but she has talked a lot about how she now that the dust has settled really really wants to be able to tell her side of things and i want that for her so bad and i was hoping that like maybe seeing the play would kind of inspire that we went and watched the play and it's about these girls at a high school who have a teacher that is grooming them and there are these two main girls and it is like me and miranda in pretty much every way i knew what the play was about but i didn't know how

how close to home it would feel.

At the end of it, they like do this dance to this Lorde song and Miranda and I are like sobbing, absolutely just a mess during all of this.

It was just incredibly special to like sit there and take that in together because it felt like for the first time in an odd way, like we were seen.

That experience wasn't just unique to what had happened when we were in college.

And I know for her, it was really special to see another young girl represented who had been through the exact same kind of thing that she had.

So there was a lot of catharsis about it.

It just felt very appropriate for the place that we're in in our lives now.

Time having passed, gone through all of this together and still as close as we are.

And to be able to watch a story about other women who have experienced that was just really special to both of us.

It just speaks to how much we love each other and how much we look at that experience as something horrible.

There's nothing that we wouldn't do to support each other to the ends of the earth.

There's nothing that I wouldn't do for her to get the opportunity to make it her own story instead of it being communicated through an attorney or a university or other people.

I do want to be totally clear that I'm really here just so that Miranda can have the support that she needs.
