Sun 4 Jan (4:21pm)
Emergency!
(4:22)
Wes.
(4:24)
Wes, come on.
(4:29)
Wesleyyyyyyyy.

(4:30)
Where's the fire?

(4:31)
He asked me to meet him.

(4:32)
Who?

(4:32)
You know who.

(4:34)
...Wow. Okay. Are you sure that's a good idea?

(4:34)
...Why not?

(4:35)
Does he still have a boyfriend?

(4:37)
I guess? Maybe. Probably.

(4:37)
Again, are you sure it's a good idea?
(4:38)
You're setting yourself up for heartbreak, Anderson.

(4:39)
Shush. It's just a meeting.

(4:39)
And you're 'just' in love with him.

(4:40)
I'm not in love with him!!!

(4:40)
Riiight.

(4:41)
I'm not!
(4:42)
You can't *love* someone you've never met.

(4:44)
And now you're going to meet. What if you do fall for him? Then it'll be worse, because he'll still be the one with the boyfriend and you will cry on my shoulder and I'll never hear the end of it!

(4:46)
You're mean.

(4:46)
I'm being realistic. And I don't want to see you hurt. Again.

(4:47)
I'm meeting him as a friend. I'm not stupid.
(4:49)
Hey, maybe he's hideous! Like... Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder!

(4:49)
Or someone from a crappy horror movie.

(4:50)
Or Gollum!
(4:52)
Who am I kidding; he's going to be... Kurt.

(4:53)
The boy who sounds beautiful even through texts. Yes, I know. You told me 100 times last night.

(4:56)
What if it IS a bad idea?
(4:58)
Oh god, what am I gonna do?!

(4:59)
When are you going to meet?

(4:59)
I... I don't know.
(5:00)
Oh. We didn't even get to that.

(5:01)
Hopeless is what you are, Anderson.

(5:01)
And you're not helpful at all.

(5:02)
I'll be there to put you back together afterwards.

(5:02)
Hmph.

~~~

(5:10pm)
When do you wanna meet? Are you back to school as well tomorrow?

(5:12)
No, not yet. I'm interning for about two weeks.

(5:13)
Oh, okay. So you'll be really busy...

(5:13)
I guess.

(5:16)
Okay.

(5:16)
But I'm free Tuesday afternoon.

(5:17)
Great! Me too.

(5:18)
5pm?

(5:18)
Yes. Where?

(5:19)
Coffee shop?

(5:19)
Okay. :)
(5:20)
You can get me my Tuesday coffee then.
(5:22)
Not... that you have to. I mean...
(5:25)
Do you want to meet Bradshaw?
