Forrest:
Hey

10:27 PM

Millie:
What?

Forrest:
You okay?

Millie:
Why you asking?

Did my brother asked you to talk to me?

Forrest:
No, your brother is out of this

I'm asking out of you can say concern

Millie:
Lol Forrest is concerned

Forrest:
Contrary to popular belief, I do have heart

Only to certain people tho

Millie:
Oh and I'm one of those people?

Must be a privilege

Forrest:
Based on your sarcastic remarks, I guess you're good

Millie:
You want honest?

Forrest:
Yes

Millie:
I'm not

Forrest:
Yeah?

Millie:
No shit who would be okay right now? 🙄

Forrest:
Right

Millie:
To be honest I just want everything over

I am deeply humiliated by these untrue stories

I am used to the spotlight but if the reason is something not good, it's suffocating

Forrest:
I'm sorry

Millie:
Yeah and why am I opening up to you?

Dumb Millie 🙄

Forrest:
It's alright

Millie:
Why are you texting me? Go bother Mace instead

Forrest:
He's not answering

If you want to rant, I'm all ears

Millie:
And why would I trust you?

Forrest:
You have huge trust issues

But to answer your question, maybe because I get what you're feeling right now

False rumours, it happened and it sucked but it's gonna get better it'll pass you don't have to succumb in your room

Millie:
You have no idea

I've been in numerous rumours and by now, I wouldn't be surprised if they already have a bad impression of me

Forrest:
You wanna fix it?

Millie:
Well of course but I don't know how

Forrest:
Use me

Millie:
What?

Forrest:
Read it again until it sinks in

Millie:
You can't be serious

And how am I supposed to use you? This is not a melodrama or a telenovela. This is real life

Forrest:
I don't know use me whatever you want

And I am very much aware that this is a real life

Millie:
Are you asking me to do a fake dating thing?

Forrest:
If that what helps then so be it

Millie:
Hold up right there

I need to process this because we were never close to have this fake dating thing in the first place.

You're my brother's best friend and I don't know if you and me could count as "friends" because obviously we're not. We barely even talk the last time you were here and then now, all of a sudden you're telling me to use you to cover up the rumours? You're telling me to do this fake dating thing?

What's the catch?

Forrest:
There is no catch, Millie

Millie:
Then why are you doing this? It doesn't add up

Forrest:
Like I said, I wanna help you

Millie:
Because? You somehow see yourself in my situation right now? Still I don't get it

Forrest:
Okay then maybe there's a catch

Millie:
I knew it! Tell me
