Lily

Today: 2:33PM
I have something to tell you

But you have to promise not to be mad

It’s not as bad as it sounds

Ashley.

Who did you tell?

And what did you tell them?

I told Jess and Samiah I met Shane at your place

And that Lily is actually you

I’m sorry!!!!

Meeting Shane (with you there) was a really big deal and I needed to talk about it with someone

And you had just put your phone on DND

You are literally in our gc for you two. Like I was freaking and needed to talk to someone about what just happened

But I trust Jess and Samiah with my life

The three of us have been friends way longer than the rest of the chat and I KNOW they wouldn’t spill to anyone

...Ilya?

I have to go to practice.

Please don’t tell anyone else.

I swear I won’t

Hollanov Day 1s

Today: 8:44PM
I told him
Ilya
I told him that I told you guys
And that I told you guys about Shane
And now he’s ignoring me
Samiah
Shit
Jess
Maybe he’s at practice?
No he had practice hours ago
He’s just ignoring me now
Idk what to do
Do I apologize again??
Jess
No definitely do not text him again
Jess
You’ll just annoy him
Samiah
Yeah give him time Ash
I feel awful
I like being his friend and I like being friends with you guys and I guess I wanted us all to be friends in on it together
Samiah
Hopefully he trusts you enough by now to know that anyone you told can be trusted
I hope so

Lily

Today: 11:18AM
Okay

I’m still a little mad, but I understand why you told your friends

We are big deal, would be hard to keep that to yourself

Humble too

Sorry, sorry, not the time

Yes not the time

Do you understand now why I said no pictures with Shane?

You said no pictures cause Shane wouldn’t like it

Well yes

But also because is very risky

Shane and I have been doing this for nearly 10 years

This is big secret about our lives I am trusting you with

Would be very very bad if it got out before we are ready

But we talk about shipping you guys in the gc basically every day! How is that different

Real life is more risky than what is said in group chat. The more people that know secret is bigger risk. Shane knows you know but I don’t want to tell him now 2 more people know because he may have panic attack.

I’m sorry, Ilya. I promise I won’t tell anyone else. And the rest of the girls are sworn to secrecy, I swear.

Alright.

I am choosing to trust you

Why did you tell me this?

Weeeeeeell

Don’t be mad -

Omg

Ashley if you start another sentence with don’t be mad I will block your number

Stop don’t say that I’ll be sad

And I know where you live if you block my number

I can move

Ilyaaaaa :(

Okay this isn’t bad

What now

I don’t think

But….

Samiah and Jess want to talk to you

As you, not as Lily

Why

Omg why do you think!

Cause you’re you! Lmao they want to talk to you about you

They want me to start a smaller gc with us and you

*annoyed guy with hands on his hips gif*

Do I have to

No but I would really appreciate it

Pleaseeeee

You’re already their friend as Lily,,, and they think it’s so cool that you’re actually Ilya

Can you promise they will be will be chill?

They will… do their best !

Sigh

I hope I do not regret this..

But

You can put us in a groupchat

Samiah
Her characterization of Hannibal and Will was chefs kiss

Samiah
I literally don’t know how she writes so well
She deadass wrote one of the best fics in the entire post-fall tag

I don’t know if I should say this
Samiah
But…
Samiah
I was planning to wear Shane’s jersey to the game
Gasp
Jess
Girl
Jess
Don’t tell him that
Lily
No.
Lily
You attend game in Boston
Lily
You wear my jersey
Lily
That is rule
Samiah
Yeah but Shane is playing too!
Jess
kdsjfhgfsdkj
Lily
Irrelevant
Don’t worry we’ll make sure she wears the right jersey
Samiah
When did this chat turn into a dictatorship???
Lily
I run a tight ship

da girls

Today: 4:45PM
Jess
Thank you so much for the jerseys!!!
Samiah
They are SO comfy
Samiah
And fit perfectly
So Samiah will deff be wearing your jersey and not Shane’s at the game haha
Samiah
My mind has been changed lol
Jess
Good luck today!
Jess
We will send you a pic when we’re in the stands!
Is it still fine if we come over after?
Samiah
And meet Shane?
(We won’t stay long obviously)
Today: 8:21PM
Jess
Ugh crushed Montreal
Samiah
What a game
You killed it
Jess
That was SO close
Samiah
Like I almost thought it was gonna be a shutout on both sides
Jess
Ikr
Nice goal at the end tho ;)
Samiah
Lowkey wish I got to see Shane score a goal too but still 10/10 experience
Today: 8:57PM
@Ilya still okay if we come over?

Lily

Today: 9:28PM
You okay?

We don’t have to come over

If you and Shane want to be alone that’s cool, I can tell the girls and they’ll understand

Shane’s not coming over

I think we broke up

NO

You’re not serious

I am serious

What happened???

Big fight

Biggest argument we’ve ever had

He wants me to move to Canada

Join awful team like Toronto or Ottawa

While he gets to stay with Metros

And probably win a million more Cups

With perfect team in perfect city

While I am expected to be happy about going to go play on loser team???

No.

So I got mad. He got mad. And we broke up. And that is that.

Ilya :(

I’m so sorry

Did this happen recently?

Yes. He last minute decided he was going to come over before the game today. And he told me about the idea he had that I should move to Canada

Did not have a lot of time so didn’t tell you and the girls

No don’t even worry about that

But I don’t understand

Why did you both get so mad

Everyone knows you’re a free agent after this season

It sounds like Shane wants you to move closer to him?

Cause there are more hockey teams in Canada than there are around us in Boston

So if he’s still on the Metros there can be a team for you in Canada

Then you guys can eventually stop doing long distance

...

I am massive idiot

I did not realize this

I was too mad when he even suggested I leave Boston

Was not thinking properly

Are you okay? Do you want to come down to my apartment and talk about it

No. Thank you. Am going out with the team

Don’t go out go talk to Shane!!

No.

Ilya :(

I bet he wants to talk to you

I don’t think he does

I need to go get drunk

hollanov ho3s

Today: 11:39PM
Gracie
[image desc: series of paparazzi shots of the Boston Raiders and the Montreal Metros at a club in Boston]
Gracie

Gracie

Jess

Gracie
No he’s there !
Gracie
He was mostly hidden by JJ when they walked in but you can see his hair and blue jacket behind him
Jess
Ohhh
Jess
Okay yeah that’s deff him
Kelli
The way I’m lowkey surprised the Metros even wanted to go out after a loss
Like in BOSTON of all places
Ikr
Today: 12:47AM
Gracie
[image desc: series of paparazzi shots of Ilya Rozanov making out and dancing with brunette woman at club]
Oh
Gracie
Can we talk about how good he looks
Jess
Why the hell is he making out with some rando???
Gracie
Girl he’s Ilya fucking Rozanov lol
Gracie
He can make out with whoever he wants
Samiah
I think Jess is saying why is he at the club kissing other people when he should be with Shane
Jess
Yes
Jess
Thank you
Kelli
Ooooo
Kelli
Hollanov broke up?
Kelli
Bad time to talk about Shane and Hayden’s hug at the end of the game?
Lily
Very bad time.

Lily

Today: 12:56AM
Hey

Saw your reply in the group chat

You wanna talk about it?

No

Very drunk

Figured

There were pap pics

Alright

Get home safe

Jane

Today: 1:26AM
Fuck you

Asshole

I can’t fucking believe you

What the fuck is the matter with you

What

We were at the same club tonight

I saw you with that girl

And I know you saw me too

Oh so Shane Hollander went out partying for once?

Other plans fall through?

Fuck you

Are we really doing this shit again???

I don’t know what you’re talking about

You don’t know what I’m talking about?

You’re doing the same shit you did when I started dating Rose! Grinding on some other girl right in front of me at some stupid club

When you KNOW I can see you

And you KNOW I hate it

So

We broke up Hollander

Don’t do that

Don’t call me that

I can grind on whoever I want

Do you really not give a fuck about how I would feel seeing you making out with some girl you just met? Right in front of me?

Seeing you get to be so public with someone

Kissing them

Dancing with them

Getting to do everything in public with them that we don’t get to do?

Of course you didn’t

I do care

So much

Didn’t fucking look like it

Shane

I can’t have this fight with you right now

Not over text

And while I am very drunk

Come over tomorrow and we can talk

Please.

My flight leaves before lunch.

So come over before then

I will be home

Are you still out?

No. In Uber going home

Alone.

Good.

Today: 1:52AM
I’ll come over before 9.

Today: 2:08AM
My bed feels empty without you

Go to sleep Ilya
