[Lydia isn't really surprised by her admission. She knew about the moving around a lot. But she feels like she owes Allison the same honesty.
With a deep breath, she leans her head down on her shoulder and nods a little, her eyes tearing up slightly.]
This might come as a surprise but-- you were my first real best friend, too.
I mean, I had other little girls I knew growing up, but we started growing up and most of the girls I knew just hung out with me because I was popular. And I was okay with that. Then I started dating Jackson and I just hung out with all of the other girlfriends from the guys who played Lacrosse. And most of them were hitting on Jackson half the time we were around them. [She smiles a little.] I hated them.
When you showed up, I was kind of desperate for someone who wasn't gonna try to backstab me the second I turned around. [And Allison did the exact opposite of that.]
