[She is angry now]

Lexie Richardson : I got pregnant. I got the abortion, not her! And, I mean I tried... I really tried to tell you everything. There's all this pressure to be all these things, to be fucking perfect, but I'm not. I'm not FUCKING PERFECT.

[She retreats and slams the door to her room]
Lexie Richardson : [She is furious now. She yells back at the closed door] NO, I'M NOT!
