turns out the shotgun was stolen.

z also had hella drugs in their possession when the cops arrived so she'll definitely be serving time.

by the time we'd given statements and I'd called harry to come pick me up, id been moved away from billie and hadn't seen her.

when I reached into my pocket and felt
blohsh. billie somehow must've put it back in my pocket.

I stare at it for a moment, before putting it back into my pocket.

I get a text a few moments later.

billie: we're not done talking

the next day after I eat dinner with my grandma and harry, I lie on my bed thinking.

I kept billie from pirate and pirate from billie.

but maybe if I tell billie now, she won't even care anymore.

hell, maybe pirate won't.

but I won't know until I try.

I don't get a reply from pirate until two hours later.

blossom: hey..you still out there?

pirate: im here, what's up?

blossom: since I was super honest when we spoke last
blossom: I thought id be even more honest..but this is kinda a lot
blossom: are you ready?

pirate:should I be sitting?

blossom:probably

pirate:okay im sat

blossom:okay
blossom: im in la, living with my grandma and I have been since the beginning of summer
blossom:sorry I didn't say anything..I guess I was worried it might be weird? and I avoid all confrontation but now you know..do you wanna meet up for lunch?
blossom:okay this is getting awkward
blossom:anyway I just wanted you to know that im sorry I never said anything about being here and I thought I could apologise in person..maybe?

pirate: what about your girlfriend?

blossom:it would be a non-romantic lunch...just two friends hanging out
blossom:also I still don't know what's going on between my girlfriend and I right now

pirate:why don't we just go with our original plan?
pirate: the first night of the festival is on sunday
pirate: meet me under the red flag at six

oh shit. I wasn't prepared for this at all and I have to google the festival line up to see who's on first.

doja cat isn't on until nine so it'll be getting dark. do I really wanna meet a stranger in the dark?

but again it's a public space.

should I do this?

blossom: okay.

okay that's one girl taken care of. now I need to talk to billie but this one seems harder.

sage: hey, you busy?
sage: im hoping we can meet and finish talking
sage: im ready

billie: im super bust until sunday, how about then?

sage: okay deal
sage: ill text you then
