"Believe"

Best friends, Mel and Bella, are parting ways after years of friendship. Mel is moving across the world and the full weight of whether they'll see each other again is finally hitting them both before Mel leaves.

Bella: You ready?

Mel: I have nowhere else to go. It's decided and for now, "no matter how hard I try" this is what I have to do. 

Bella: I'm proud of you. 

Mel: You ready?

Bella: Absolutely not. "You keep pushing me aside" and the last few weeks I hated that, but I thank you for starting that process early. While you were still around. 

Mel: You know that has been so hard for me. How do you balance knowing you want to do all the things and also knowing there's a timestamp on the end? Still is surreal "and I can't break through" the feelings. 

Bella: To make it harder "there's no talking to you" for 5 days until you're where you're going. We haven't gone longer than 16 hours in the last few years. 

They look at each other for a moment. 

Bella: "It's so sad that you're leaving."

Mel: "It takes time to believe it." You know I'm here for you. Whatever you need. 

Bella: Sure. "But after all is said and done" we are going to be so different. 

Mel: Change is good. 

Bella: Sure.

Mel: I know "you're gonna be the lonely one." You have to do more stuff, meet more people, see it all a little differently. 

Bella: I will miss you.

Mel: You better! We weren't best friends for nothing. 

Bella: You really think we won't be best friends anymore?

Mel: Not in the same way. We're going to be thousands of miles from one another. 

Bella: "Do you believe in life?"

Mel: Of course I do. Don't you? 

Bella: I mean I know it's platonic, but "after love" like ours. It's going to hurt. Life will suck more for now.

Mel: The hurt helps you heal. I'm here for you. 

Bella: See you later. 

Mel: See you.
