[Her heart breaks a little as she watches Allison talk. Because she's trying to brush it off, but Lydia knows it's more than what she's saying. Scott was her first love. And their relationship had been good, they had been happy. And although they hurt each other, it was because of circumstances much bigger than them.

Honestly, Lydia always thought they'd get back together, eventually. But that's not what Allison needs to hear right now.

So she sits down next to her and wraps an arm around her back, rubbing it gently instead.]

You don't have to let go of it, Allison. Even if you try, you probably never will. [She still cares about Jackson. Still wonders how he's doing and if he's okay. Even after all this time, after everything that has changed. Even though all they did was hurt each other. She's a different person now. She wants different things than she did when they were together. But part of her will always want him to be okay.]

I don't know if I could be as good friends as you two are after everything you've been through. And even if you want him to be happy, you don't have to push yourself to spend time with her until you feel like you're ready. If you're ever ready. Especially if it hurts you.
