Chapter Text
Fri Nov 20 (3:38am)
Hartley took almost three hours to dump me and it was the worst and most awkward breakup ever.
(3:39)
Why can’t I stop crying, though?
(3:42)
I...I’m really sorry you’re going through that?
(3:43)
...you’re not Caitlin, are you? Frack. Sorry. New phone.
(3:44)
Please ignore my awfully miserable text. Sorry again.
(3:45)
Oh, it’s okay! Really. Sorry if I sounded like a dick. I really am sorry you’re going through that. Breakups suck, man.
(3:46)
I don’t blame you for being a dick to me. It’s nearly 4am and you were probably asleep.
(3:47)
They really do suck...
(3:48)
I wasn’t. Asleep, I mean. Finishing up a paper I should’ve done a month ago.
(3:49)
So...was it, like, super serious?
(3:51)
Oh. Well, good. I mean, good that you weren’t asleep. Not that you’re doing a paper at last minute. Why exactly are you doing a paper at last minute?
(3:52)
If “super serious” means agreeing to move in together only to have a big fight the day before it actually happened, which resulted in said three-hour breakup, then yes. It was super serious.
(3:54)
Sorry. I shouldn’t have laid all on that on you. You’re busy, paper and all.
(3:55)
I knew what you meant :) What, have you ever NOT done a paper at last minute? Or are you one of those crazy busy, straight-A’s, juggling-five-jobs college kids?
(3:56)
You’re fine, seriously. But damn. Dude, that sucks. Whoever this Hartley is, I’m sure he isn’t worth your tears. It’ll get better, believe me.
(3:57)
Ha! Okay, you caught me. I may have turned in one or two...or a few at the very last second. At least that’s all behind me now. Well, the college part. Not the writing research papers part.
(3:59)
Uhm. Thanks...I needed to hear that.
(4:00)
It wasn’t exactly the healthiest relationship. So, I’ll believe you that it gets better. Even if you are a mysterious stranger ;)
(4:02)
Alright, but you can’t blame me if it doesn’t get better.
(4:03)
But I’m sure it will. You sound pretty cool.
(4:04)
Careful with the flirting. I did just get dumped.
(4:07)
God, that was stupid, I’m so sorry. If you weren’t flirting. It was through text, after all. How should I know? I’m sorry.
(4:08)
I may or may not have meant it in a flirty way.
(4:09)
But you’ll never know ;) I’m about to pass out. Paper’s done, though! Goodnight, unknown number. Get some rest. Everything will be okay.
(4:10)
Wow. How evil are you? Congrats on the paper, though.
(4:11)
And thanks...for listening and stuff. ‘Night!
