Me: hello?
Lucy: hey.
Me: why are you calling me? Aren't you supposed to be asleep?
Lucy: I couldn't sleep.
Me: you have school tomorrow.
Lucy: I just won't go.
Me: are you okay?
Lucy: ...
Me: Lucy?
Lucy: I told Lou about us- well, what we used to be.
Me: oh dear, Lou probably thinks I'm gay now.
Lucy: aren't you?
Me: well, I don't know. Maybe...
Me: maybe I was just testing out girls?
Lucy: you weren't.
Me: how do you know?
Lucy: because I know that you cried when I left you.
Me: what- how?
Lucy: Lou, of course. I'm glad I'm friends with your sister. I've found out so much stuff about you.
Me: oh no.
Lucy: like you still have a mister bunny.
Me: he's in my wardrobe!
Lucy: and that even though your dad is a total prick you keep all the photos of him.
Me: he was nice once. Before he got into drugs.
Lucy: and that you still sometimes sleep with your mum.
Me: oh shut up! Stop laughing, sometimes I get sad and sleep in her bed. You would too!
Lucy: I'm seventeen and I think I'm to old for that.
Lucy: you're nineteen, you should be living somewhere else like in your own house by now.
Me: oh shut it. I'm going to sleep now you twat.
Lucy: night beautiful.
Me: shut up.
