Chinney 

[10:07 PM] Don’t you follow him on Instagram? He posted a bi flag when he came out. And he posted about Tommy on there

[10:08 PM] Oh, just checked, the Tommy posts aren’t there anymore 

 

Hen

[10:08 PM] I can’t believe you left Buck with his ex 

 

Ravi

[10:08 PM] hey, i had no idea!

 

Hen

[10:08 PM] I’m not mad at you

[10:08 PM] This is fucking hilarious 

 

Chimney 

[10:09 PM] Are they still at the bar??

 

Ravi

[10:09 PM] i told you i left. do you lack reading comprehension 

 

Chimney 

[10:09 PM] Do you lack proper grammar? 

 

Hen

[10:10 PM] Can you go back and check if they’re there?

 

Ravi

[10:10 PM] uh no 

 

Chimney 

[10:10 PM] C’mon man

Hen 

[10:11 PM] Athena

[10:15 PM] Athenaaaaa

[10:16 PM] This is important 

[10:18 PM] Athena! 

 

Athena 

[10:19 PM] What’s wrong? Is everyone okay??

Athena

Hen

[10:20 PM] Please!! 

 

Athena

[10:20 PM] Fine. But what is this about?

 

Hen

[10:21 PM] Ravi and Buck went to a bar tonight to hang out. All Buck did was talk about Eddie, Ravi got bored, he found Tommy, doesn’t know that Buck and Tommy are exes, and he left them together. 

 

Athena

[10:21 PM] Holy shit. 

[10:21 PM] Hold on- all Buck did was talk about Eddie?

 

Hen

[10:22 PM] Apparently 

 

118 Groupchat

 

Bobby

[10:24 PM] Ravi, as your Captain, I’m asking you to please go back to the bar you were at with Buck.

 

Ravi

[10:25 PM] is this

[10:25 PM] am i being pranked 

[10:25 PM] cause i am not a probie anymore 

 

Bobby

[10:26 PM] I assure you, this is not a prank. 

 

Ravi

[10:26 PM] fine. i’ll go 

 

Chimney

[10:26 PM] YES

[10:26 PM] Be discrete about it, Ravi

 

Ravi

[10:27 PM] oh my god 

[11:05 PM] okay, got to the bar. didn’t see them anywhere. asked one of the bartenders if they were still here and he said they left. together. 

 

Hen

[11:06 PM] WHAT 

 

Chimney 

[11:06 PM] Screw healthy sleep patterns, I gotta go tell Maddie

 

Bobby

[11:07 PM] That is not what I was expecting. 

 

Hen

[11:07 PM] Okay. They left together. Do we think they went back to Buck’s place or Tommy’s?

 

Ravi

[11:07 PM] why do we care

 

Chimney

[11:08 PM] Or, third option: hotel. Buck has been crashing at mine and Maddie’s cause he doesn’t want to sleep at Eddie’s old house. 

 

Hen

[11:08 PM] A hotel would be a whole other level

 

Chimney 

[11:08 PM] Well Buck’s always been a ‘go big or go home’ kind of guy 

 

Bobby

[11:10 PM] Alright, we shouldn’t speculate. Buck’s going to read these texts in the morning. 

 

Hen

[11:10 PM] You’re right, Cap.

 

Chimney

[11:10 PM] Yeah. 

 

Hen

[11:14 PM] Goodnight everyone 

 

Chimney

[11:14 PM] Night

Mads

[8:03 AM] It’s so early why DELETED

[8:03 AM] Yes, he did

 

Buck

[8:04 AM] ] they were all gossiping about me and tommy. what the hell!!!! 

 

Mads

[8:05 AM] It was pretty unexpected, to be fair 

 

Buck

[8:06 AM] when did my life become a soap opera

 

Mads

[8:07 AM] I'd guess two near death experiences ago

[8:16 AM] I was gonna ask if you guys went back to your place or his, but Chim just said that Eddie texted in the groupchat

[8:17 AM] Apparently Chim and Hen ‘momentarily forgot’ that Eddie was gonna see the texts 

[8:19 AM] How are you holding up?
