I find the logic (that Jill is Bella's only friend therefore this dialog must be referring to her) lacking. Whatever happened to Bella clearly traumatized her. It's well within reason to think that she might lose friendships in that process - either as part of whatever caused the trauma, or as a result of her behavior changes afterwards.Ep 3:

First thing is that we know of only one friend Bella has, and that's Jill. Could there be another "friend" that she's referring to? Someone we don't know about? Perhaps, but right now, all we know of is Jill.
Second thing, the context of that scene in Ep 5 would seem to suggest that this thing that happened that Jill is trying to assure Bella won't happen again is between the 2 of them. They're essentially staring into each others eyes for a prolonged period of time until Bella abruptly ends the eye contact. It clearly makes Jill think about why she did that and then she says, "It's not going to happen again", which would seem to indicate that something similar to this may have happened before and it led somewhere, hence why Jill says it won't happen "again". Bella's line about, "I thought we had an understanding", suggests that they talked about whetever this was and likely agreed that it wouldn't happen again but also never to talk about it again, which is what Jill is doing and it leads to Bella's agitation.
I personally wouldn't go so far as to say they had a full-on lesbian relationship, but at the very least they may have made out with each other and possibly shed some clothes in the process. Maybe they would have gone all the way, but perhaps they were interrupted by James and this is why Bella asks for forgiveness from him.
To me, it seems like there's an indication something happened between Bella and Jill and honestly, if this turns out to not be the case, then DPC will have thrown the biggest red herring into this game because it's hard to see what else this could be about.
No. Just, no.![]()
On top of that, Bella specifically says whatever happened before was "different." Becoming carried away while making out with Jill the way you describe is almost the same as what she's going through with the MC. Unless we think Bella takes a very different view of same-sex actions, it doesn't seem like there's any difference.
Lastly, I think you read too much into Bella staring into Jill's eyes. It's possible, but it's also possible just seeing Jill in the bed at all was the problem. In my view, Bella wasn't worried about kissing Jill in the slightest. She was uncomfortable with the reminder of whatever happened, so she turned around to get "it" out of her mind. When Jill tried to address the situation, Bella shut her down and seems to have gotten snippy about it (hence Jill's "Wow"). Jill's reaction, in turn, seems like she took offense to Bella's rebuke.
In my view, this suggests that whatever happened between them is something that makes Bella scared and Jill defensive. I don't see how that could come from a moment of sexuality, unless maybe Jill tried to start something and it went very badly. But in that case it's hard to see how they could still be close friends, and Bella's dialog about 'they aren't intimate with friends' becomes borderline self-flagellation.
I agree whatever happened between them involved a certain degree of intimacy, but I think it was more mundane than we're led to expect.
