Texting With You

Summary:

Set in the Latching Onto You universe, it's everyone's text messages during the events of the fanfic. Not in any specific and completely accurate order, but if you've read the fic you'll know when certain scenes happened.

Notes:

Don't need to create a format chapter. It's pretty easy to discern and it's basically how they'd text message each other. The characters texting have their names in caps. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Lola and Miles

Chapter Text


LOLA AND MILES 

MILES: Hey. 

LOLA: Hi. 

MILES: Thanks for telling me. 

MILES: I know it must’ve been terrifying. 

MILES: Like, I can’t even imagine. 

LOLA: It’s all good. 😊

LOLA: I’m glad I was able to before… 

LOLA: You know, I made any decisions without you. 

MILES: Yeah, I’m really grateful Lo. 

LOLA: Oh Miles, it’s all so new for both of us. 

MILES: 😅 Haa… yeah. I know. 

MILES: It’s gonna take forever for me to wrap my head around it. 

LOLA: Me too me too. 

LOLA: Especially once I start getting bigger. 

MILES: Hey, if you need anything. Anything at all. 

MILES: Text me, call me. 

MILES: Me first okay? 

LOLA: Ok! 

MILES: Seriously Lola, I really really wanna help you.

MILES: What?!?!?!?! 

MILES:

FRANKIE: Fuck you. 

FRANKIE: How do you get my BEST FRIEND pregnant? 

MILES: Well see, the penis goes into the vagina… 

FRANKIE: CAN YOU FUCKING NOT BE GROSS?!?!?!?!?! 

FRANKIE: LIKE I NEED THAT IMAGE IN MY HEAD NOW 

MILES: You asked. 🙄

FRANKIE: It was rhetorical jackass. 

MILES: Hey Franks you learned a new word! 

FRANKIE: Never mind. You can’t be serious. 

MILES: What exactly do you want me to do here? 

MILES: Abandon Lola? 

FRANKIE: Of course not! 

FRANKIE: What is wrong with you? 

FRANKIE: Why would you think I’d want that?! 

MILES: Because you sound pretty PISSED Franks, you’re not exactly being subtle about it! 

MILES: It happened. We’re keeping the kid. 

MILES: You’ll need to make peace with it eventually but your feelings really aren’t my priority here anymore Frankie. The baby and Lola’s are. 

FRANKIE: Ew that sounded way too mature for you. 

MILES: I need to be. 

MILES: And so do you once you become an aunt.

MILES: Are you sure you’d be okay with that?

LOLA: Jesus, I’m not telling you to start sexting each other.

LOLA: Check on her, I wanna know how she’s doing too.

MILES: Yeah?

MILES: I mean… she’s my ex Lo.

LOLA: So fucking what?

LOLA: WAIT

MILES: 🤨

LOLA: Lemme get this straight lol

Chapter 36: Miles and Maya

Chapter Text


MILES AND MAYA

 

MILES: MAYAAAAA

MILES: I miss you, how’ve you been doing?

MAYA: Better, thanks for asking.

MAYA: I didn’t know you were in the hospital when Esme and Frankie found me.

MAYA: I’m so sorry your sister had to see that.

MILES: Hey, no worries!

MILES: I’m glad she found you! And that you’re doing better now.

MAYA: 😊

MILES: I really do hate how we haven’t hung out much.

MILES: I don’t like that bullshit where exes can’t be friends, ya know? I mean we didn’t hate each other or anything.

MAYA: I know, it really is stupid.

MAYA: We’ll hang out more.

MAYA: Sorry I ruined the night of your play too.

MILES: Yes Maya you truly are the worst lmao

MILES: Again, don’t fucking worry about it lol

MAYA: I guess I’m way overdue congratulating you on the baby.

MAYA: How did Lola manage the show?

MILES: She was fine, she’s a spitfire that one!

MILES: And thanks haha 😅 these last few months have been a LOT.

MAYA: Oh God I can imagine.

MAYA: How’re you holding up?

MILES: We’re getting by.

MILES: Hey I never properly thanked you by the way.

MAYA: ???

MAYA: For breaking up with you or for ruining your play lol

MILES: lol

MILES: For getting that Yates fucker fired from the school.

MAYA: Oh!

MAYA: Really?

MILES: Yes really! He was weird!

MILES: Who the fuck goes around hitting on so many students like dude show SOME class.

MILES: I’m honestly shocked someone else didn’t come forward.

MILES: I guess I was pretty confused about it too.

MILES: But really Maya, thank you.

MAYA: Aww shucks lol

MAYA: I feel like that happened a century ago.

MILES: I’LL FUCKING SAY LOL

MILES: Honestly though for real for real, who knew what he would’ve done to one of us or even to Tristan if you hadn’t interfered?

MAYA: Can I be honest with you?

MILES: Of course!

MAYA: I feel like my interfering is what pushes people away.

MAYA: You, Zig, Tristan.

MAYA: After Cam died I just couldn’t handle seeing people I cared about get hurt.

MAYA: And it only made things worse.

MILES: It really didn’t Maya.

MILES: Like when you broke into my house thinking I was hurting myself.

MILES: I know it was excessive, but I see now it came from a good place.

MILES: I’m really sorry I got so mad about it, I see now why you were worried.

MAYA: Haaa I know but I still needed to tone it down.

MILES: No Maya, you didn’t.

MILES: Just take care of yourself first now, that’s all that matters.

MILES: But in the future more people will realize that having you in their lives meant they actually had someone who cared about their well-being.

MAYA: Damn you really are a writer huh.

MILES: As I live and breathe!

MAYA: Thank you Miles, I appreciate you saying this stuff.

MAYA: You’re gonna be a great dad.

MILES: lol thanks 😅

MILES: If you need me for anything, let me know okay!

MAYA: Hey likewise!

MILES: 😊

LOLA AND ZOE 

 

ZOE: Hey Lola!

LOLA: Hi!

ZOE: Sorry I haven’t checked in personally on you until now.

LOLA: Oh believe me, it’s fine.

ZOE: It’s just, this stuff that’s been going on with my mom.

ZOE: And there’s the school functions I gotta deal with outside just the play.

LOLA: Whoa don’t even worry about it.

LOLA: I’m glad you pushed me into talking to Miles. I’ll always be grateful for that.

LOLA: But don’t feel like you’re obligated to my wellbeing. We aren’t really FRIENDS anymore.

ZOE: I don’t have a lot of friends, Lo.

ZOE: I never really properly um… apologized to you and Frankie and Shay huh. Especially Frankie.

LOLA: Why?

LOLA: Oh right the nudes lol

ZOE: I was in a… REALLY bad place then.

ZOE: But distributing our bodies like that, throwing YOU GUYS into my fucked up idea, it wasn’t right.

ZOE: Ugh god, Rasha doesn’t even KNOW about that part of me!

LOLA: Don’t worry.

LOLA: We’ve moved past it, nobody will mention it to her.

LOLA: I mean, if Grace hasn’t by now, why would we?

ZOE: If it were me I definitely would’ve told her.

LOLA: Well, I had to stop acting like a high school brat pretty fast.

LOLA: And through your experiences you have too!

LOLA: I mean I’m gonna have a baby, we gotta set an example ya know lol

ZOE: So true.

ZOE: Sorry Grace was being so silly.

ZOE: She doesn’t gossip often but when she does it always comes outta left field.

LOLA: Oh hey it was actually pretty funny!

LOLA: Who knew she had a personality outside of judging everyone!

ZOE: Hey now!

LOLA: I’m kidding.

LOLA: That’s mostly Jonah anyway.

ZOE: THAT’S fucking true lol

ZOE: You let me know if you need anything okay?

ZOE: You were great on stage by the way!

LOLA: Thank you Zoe. 🥰

LOLA: No weird literary names.

MILES: lol that’s too close to Frankie’s name anyway.

LOLA: Truuuue.

MILES: What about William?

LOLA: You need to read more works by women babe.

MILES: Okay what about Jane!

MILES AND TRISTAN 

 

MILES: Hey.

MILES: This is the last time I’m ever gonna text you.

MILES: I’m sorry you got hurt Tristan, but you really always were such an asshole huh?

TRISTAN: Excuse me?

TRISTAN: Oh right lol

TRISTAN: I think your little girlfriend needs to grow a pair if she’s gonna be a teen mom and she can’t handle a simple conversation.

MILES: LOL

MILES: People have normal conversations all the time Tristan.

MILES: You legitimately are just an asshole.

MILES: Did you even know Zoe was hurting herself?

TRISTAN: Wait what?

MILES: Winston told me.

MILES: Part of it was because you couldn’t properly support her figuring out her sexuality.

MILES: Oh no she HAD to only like girls because then everyone would just steal all the guys away from you!

MILES: Word of advice dude. Maya and Zoe never STOLE me or any other guy from you. You’re just an asshole.

TRISTAN: Whatever Miles.

TRISTAN: Is she okay now?

MILES: Ask her yourself dude lmao

MILES: Hopefully you can pull yourself outta your perpetual victim complex long enough to finally apologize to Maya too.

TRISTAN: Why would I do that? I didn’t drive her to suicide.

MILES: WOW

TRISTAN: I didn’t mean it like THAT Miles, come on. 🙄

MILES: No you sure wanted pizza real quick though! 

MILES: Jesus, I meant about protecting us from Yates and how you still somehow acted like she ~stole all the men~ from you.

TRISTAN: So my feelings weren’t valid?

MILES: Do you even understand that this guy actually DID make you and a lot of other guys at the school victims, but you were mad at the wrong damn thing?

MILES: Jesus Tristan and you wonder why guys went and dated someone who actually protected and cared about them lmao

MILES: You’re too much.

MILES: I’m glad you actually didn’t take me back, lord I’d probably be so fucking miserable right now.

TRISTAN: You're gonna be a dad at 17, Miles. 

MILES: SURE AM! 

MILES: Makes ya think huh! 

MILES: I'm still happier now than when I was with you though! AS A TEEN DAD SOON LOL 

MILES: At least now I don’t need to worry about whether I’m GAY or STRAIGHT with Lola. She just accepts me for who I am, which is more than you could ever do with ANYONE.

MILES: Do me a favour and never talk to Lola again for me, k? K bye.

TRISTAN: Whatever.

TRISTAN: I was actually texting to ask how YOU were doing.

MAYA: I’m okay. Better I guess.

MAYA: Katie’s been around more.

TRISTAN: Oh that’s nice, what’s she been up to?

MAYA: She’s in her school’s soccer league right now and started up some eco-friendly club there.

MAYA: Same old same old with her, just now in university doing it lol

TRISTAN: That’s good!

MAYA: Seriously, how are you recovering?

TRISTAN: We definitely gotta hang out again soon though.

MAYA: Yeah for sure!

TRISTAN: And um… thank you for getting rid of Yates.

THE TEACHERS 

 

GRELL: I think we should do something for Lola.

PERINO: Who?

SIMPSON: Seriously?

GRELL: Very funny.

GRELL: You were gossiping about that poor kid a hot second ago.

MITCHELL: Guys, serious question. Are we one step away from creating a blog about our students?

PERINO: lmao

GRELL: Oh lord, of course not.

ARMSTRONG: We’re not, Blake. Come on.

PERINO: We talked about one of them getting pregnant, sound the alarm!

JEAN-AUX: What did you have in mind, Lydia?

GRELL: Well, it’s like pulling at teeth getting that girl to visit my office.

ARMSTRONG: Yeah she’s been storming out of my class a lot.

SIMPSON: The heavily pregnant teen doesn’t wanna participate in gym?!?! 😮

ARMSTRONG: 🙄

PERINO: lol

ARMSTRONG: Yeah look who’s talking, Dom. God forbid she miss one of your assignments right!

SIMPSON: You guys need to cut her some slack.

ARMSTRONG: Archie, how’re we supposed to do that if she won’t let us?

ARMSTRONG: I’ve been TRYING to get her to complete more work at home.

JEAN-AUX: Ces enfants think they can handle everything on their own, then once the stress actually kicks in…

PERINO: Yeah, it’s aggravating and sad to watch all at once.

GRELL: Right.

GRELL: And I get it.

GRELL: If I were in her situation at her age I’d be intimidated by what adults suggest too.

SIMPSON: Ahh Lydia, I always liked how reasonable you were.

PERINO: 🙄

MITCHELL: Well, I’ve spoken to Miles about getting into creative writing next year, but who knows if he still will.

GRELL: I’m not even talking about school.

GRELL: Anybody could get back into school at whatever age, it doesn’t matter if they want a break.

ARMSTRONG: Don’t tell them that, they’ll slack off.

PERINO: lol

GRELL: I just think we can put together some stuff from our family and friends.

GRELL: I know the Hollingsworths are rich, but I also know a lot of you have met that family.

PERINO: Hoo boy, yup.

GRELL: And the Pacinis are sweet, but it may be a lot for them.

JEAN-AUX: I like this idea, I have a sister with kids too old for their baby clothes now.

SIMPSON: I can give them some of Jack’s old toys.

GRELL: Perfect! But be discreet. Before those two act all humble and refuse our help.

PERINO: How about they remember we were young and dealing with having kids before too.

ARMSTRONG: Honestly.


 

Notes:

Grell's name is Lydia now I guess.

LOLA: What?

LOLA: Oh of course I know!

LOLA: That was just for your family, I wasn’t gonna eat it.

LOLA: Oh believe me Mrs. Hollingsworth I’m eating lol

LOLA: I’m eating a LOT

LOLA: I think some of the meats were bothering my stomach, that’s all.

LOLA: Remember that episode of Friends?

DIANA: I don’t follow.

LOLA: Oh it’s one of the Thanksgiving episodes where Brad Pitt guest stars and it was around the time when he and Jen Aniston were still together.

LOLA: That audience was HAPPY happy ya know?

DIANA: Oh yes I remember that one.

DIANA: My kids used to watch it all the time.

DIANA: Especially Hunter strangely enough.

LOLA: Oooh noted. 👀

LOLA: Anyway, remember how Rachel had an aversion to certain types of meats?

LOLA: And when Phoebe was having her brother’s triplets (lol) she suddenly had huge cravings for meat even though she was a vegetarian?

LOLA: I was having Rachel’s problem. The chicken kinda made me nauseous.

LOLA: I’m sorry, it looked so delicious too and normally I’d eat it.

DIANA: Oh honey!

DIANA: Why didn’t you just say so!

DIANA: I’ll keep that in mind next time!

LOLA: It’s fine, thank you! 😊

LOLA: Their dispensary?

DIANA: YES have you been?

LOLA: Um… not really. Once or twice when I was little.

LOLA: We can’t really afford organic stuff all the time.

LOLA: There’s a good Argentinian butcher we usually go to anyway.

DIANA: Okay well if you need any stuff from there let me know!

LOLA: Um I don’t really take supplements. We aren’t big on pills in my house.

DIANA: These are all natural, don’t worry!

FRANKIE: But she probably feels bad because she knows our dad’s such a dick.

LOLA: I really do appreciate how much she’s trying, I know it’s a weird situation.

LOLA: I just… I need some space, ya know?

LOLA: And I don’t feel like bothering Miles about this.

FRANKIE: Say no more, let me worry about her.

LOLA: Thank you! I’m sorry if it might sound bitchy.

FRANKIE: No it’s okay, my mom’s like that. And I appreciate you coming to me before accidentally exploding at her or something. I’ll talk to her.

SHAY: Why did you have to lie down?

SHAY: Are you okay?

LOLA: I’m fine

LOLA: Ugh this whole thing happened with me and Miles

LOLA: He called my doctor without consulting me Shay!

SHAY: Hmmmmmm look, I have an idea

SHAY: Since Frankie’s probably wallowing away in her room, how about we surprise her with all her favourite snacks?

SHAY: No I was worried about YOU

SHAY: She told me you’re staying at Lola’s right now

ESME: Oh fantastic… 🙄

FRANKIE: Wait fr 

ESME: No but honey 

ESME: How 

FRANKIE: Watch out or he’ll get his friends after ya! 

FRANKIE: Anyway I’m kidding you can’t imagine how many people get mad at me when I say Pratt 

FRANKIE: But like full disclosure Passengers is a guilty pleasure 

ESME: Lol noted 

FRANKIE: Anyway Hemsworth is my real answer sorry 😅

ESME: I’ll take it 


 

Notes:

Considering in the text fic after The Songbird Max also pics Pine, this is not the same universe but I mean I had to reference him lol

WINSTON: Alright I'll marry you but no tongue 

MILES: Lol 

MILES: No 

MILES: The girls are having this weird debate about the Chrises 

MILES: I picked Pine because I know Lola likes him 

MILES: And he’s a good actor I mean… 

MILES: Hell or High Water come on 

WINSTON: What no This Means War? 

WINSTON: Because hate to break it to you dude but Tom Hardy wins that and I ain’t even bi lol 

MILES: Lol 

MILES: Maybe a lil for Tom Hardy 

WINSTON: Maybe a lil for Tom Hardy lol 

MILES: But anyway this isn’t about that let’s not get them babbling about THAT 

MILES: Which Chris though 

WINSTON: Well Messina is cool he’s got a good body of work on him 

WINSTON: Argo, Mindy Project 

WINSTON: Sarandon is basically a cult king right and he’s got those Greek genes 

WINSTON: Chris Rock well we won’t get into that 

MILES: I wasn’t expecting a monologue dude just pick one of the FOUR everyone talks about 

MILES: Or pick Pine already and spare me this 

WINSTON: Evans is Captain America and he has some good comedies hell even Snowpiercer and Sunshine are really good 

WINSTON: Hemsworth eh his acting isn’t all there but he seems like a genuine sweetheart who learns from his mistakes 

WINSTON: We won’t get into the muscles 

MILES: 🙄

WINSTON: I’m almost 100% positive Frankie said Pratt and then played it off like she didn’t mean him but secretly we know she’s gonna go with the one nobody likes 

MILES: Lol 

WINSTON: He does have a good body of work too though and let’s not act like he’s ugly because people are pissed about his politics 

MILES: I mean… 

WINSTON: Anyway I got my answer 

MILES: What is it 

WINSTON: Drumroll pleeeeease

HUNTER: Absolutely the fuck not to all of this 

VIJAY: What’s wrong Hunter think everyone will mistake you for gaaaaaaaaay if you choose a Chris lol 

YAEL: This whole debate just perpetuates the idea that all girls care about are looks, especially from white men that generally speaking have the same attributes in them 

HUNTER: Hear that Vijay you’re a girl now 

YAEL: That’s not what I meant and you know it

YAEL: But I’ll go with Hemsworth because you know… muscles
