the crucial moment
The crucial moment happens the night before Sam, the friend Charlie has a crush on, needs to go to college. He confesses that he still hasn’t lost feelings for her and doesn’t know what to do.
Sam said that she didn’t like about Charlie how he never took the chance. He is mostly just listening and doing what people told him to.
He is trying to please everybody and be a good friend but Sam criticizes that he wasn’t honest enough.
If someone isn’t honest and not showing their true self, their friends don’t know who they are friends with, so Sam encourages Charlie to do whatever he wants.
