juliet was sleeping like a log in carlotas bed, being shaken awake lightly.

"juliet" carlotas voice said quietly

"hm?" juliet mumbles, opening her eyes "oh shit, i'm sorry i fell as-"

"hey it's okay" carlota reassures, sitting down next to her "you can stay"

"oh, okay" juliet purses her lips, sitting up "your mom told you, didn't she?"

"that you cried and almost beat the shit out of my harry styles cardboard cutout pretending it was matt? yeah she told me" carlota chuckles "and i respect that"

"i just, i hate him. he's ghosting me." juliet sniffles "it's like, he like, ugh. he posted on his instagram with his new group of friends and it upset me that he's ditching me to hang out with other people. it's not like he can't have other friends but i just don't understand it" juliet rants

"he doesn't deserve you. if he's just gonna be flirty with you and facetime you every day and be madly in love with you just to ghost you after you left then he's a bitch and you shouldn't be crying over him" carlota reassures

"yeah i guess so. uhm what time is it?" juliet asks

"twelve in the morning" carlota answers

"tell me about your date" juliet smiles, switching the topic

matt lie on his bed, scrolling through instagram. chris burst into matts room, an angry look on his face.

"why the fuck aren't you texting juliet?" chris asks

"i've been busy" matt shrugs

"busy doing what? hanging out with your other asshole friends who are using you for fame?" chris raises his eyebrows

"don't talk about my friends!" matt exclaims

"i'll talk about whoever the fuck i want to" chris crosses his arms

"fine! it isn't the same. texting juliet and being with her in real life isn't the same. her and i aren't going to work out if it's long distance" matt explains "happy?"

"matt you're letting your fear hold you back from being with her. don't you understand that you're hurting her?" chris says "please text he-"

"chris it's not fear!" matt exclaims "her and i are better off as friends"

"no you aren't. you two are perfect for each other. i don't have any experience with relationships but she misses you so fucking much, you dumb bitch!" chris says "you're being so stupid"

"i'm not being stupid. i'm sorry that you haven't even had a girl kiss you on the cheek but that's not my problem. my friendship with juliet is none of your business" matt says, his voice getting louder

"you're right, i have no experience with girls, but at least i know how to treat them correctly" chris reprimands, slamming the door behind him as he left

matt felt like shit, for ghosting juliet and for practically yelling at chris. it was fear, fear that juliet would find someone else in boston, someone who she can talk to in person instead of through a phone, someone who can take her on real life dates, instead of him who can only talk to her on facetime, who can't take her on dates in real life, and he is ditching her for other people who are probably using him and she must feel like shit too. she deserved better, he knew that, but how was he going to allow her to fall for someone else when he loves her more than he loves himself?
