what's up?
is there something wrong?

hi bestie
basically
ollie's parents finally came back
and they're here for the wedding

oh
oH
why would they come back like that so suddenly tho

my mom told them
about the wedding being soon
so they came back
and I cried when I saw them
bc I want to have that regular happy family experience
but that all went away
and honestly
its just kinda weird with them back
idk why
its just
it feels like something has changed in like
the energy and vibe now
and I feel like ollie is feeling weird abt this too lowkey tho
like
hes been acting strange arnd them

oh dear
how are you two feeling now at least?
did anything bad happen with them?
hows ollie acting different?

I'm feeling okay I guess
just mentally and emotionally tired
nothing bad happened with them dw
and idk
hes just,,,
not acting like his usual self yk
sometimes, hes all giddy and happy that they're back
I would be too if I were him
but then they bring up the wedding
or that they're leaving after
or the fact that they left in the first place
and suddenly
olls is just in the dumps
and then after
we have a cuddle session and we listen to sad music as per his request

aww :(((
he probably doesn't want them to leave
or for you to get married
and I mean
he was pretty much abandoned as a child
so it probably brings some sort of trauma or ptsd
realistically, you're basically the only family he actually has
you've been there for him since forever, unlike either of your parents
hes probably scared or anxious of what's gonna happen in the future or what might happen in the future
have you talked abt any of this to him yet?

I havent
well, I tried to
but he always tries to change the topic
like he always does whenever I try to bring it up
he just seems to not want to talk about it
so I was gonna wait for the right time

ah, I see
this must be hard on him then
its probably as hard on him as it is on you :((

yeah, probably
I just hope hes okay
like I can take care of myself later
hes my number one priority

n/n
you need to watch out for yourself too
you cant just keep prioritizing others over yourself

I know
but
hes basically the only family I have as well
and i have to protect him with my life
I dont care about how dangerous something can be
just as long as I can protect ollie yk
he just means so fucking much to me
I cant ever let him get hurt in any way under my watch
I cant lose him

I understand that
but baby, there are times that you cant protect him or others
there will be times where you will have to put yourself first
just know that you two arent alone
you have all of us and we will protect each other to the very end.
you two arent alone, okay?
we'll stick through this
together
and you'll have nothing to worry abt
not the wedding
not us
not yourself
not anyone or anything, okay?
even though we're sticking together though, that doesn't mean that you don't need to prioritize yourself
that will always come up and it will happen in every situation
ugh I cant put this into words rn
but what I'm trying to say is that you need to think of yourself sometimes
you need to have that balance of prioritizing yourself and prioritizing others
you cant just focus on one no matter how much you try
because there will always be situations where others are in more danger or in need
and situations where you will be in more danger or in need
so please just take care of yourself as well
and as for olls
he will talk to you about it one day
maybe soon or later
hell, he could even talk to you about it right now
but he will talk about it when he feels ready to
I get that you're worried, but he will open up on his own about this situation
and for you
you'll get through this
we'll get through this with you
you and ricky will be able to be happy together and we will make sure of that
no more unwanted marriages
just you and ricky being as happy as ever
together

...
I'll try
thank you
and thank you for the reassurance too
I'm just hoping that something goes wrong so that the wedding will be canceled or over
I just hope that I don't need to go with my last resort...

last resort?
you have a plan for the wedding?

well
kind of

what is it and why havent you told me about this yet 😺

well
I havent exactly told anyone yet
so I cant tell you
but I havent told anyone bc I know that someone will try to stop me if I tell them about it
plus I'm still kinda thinking abt it so it's kinda in the grey area rn

ah, I see
well
when you get that figured out
please do tell me
so that I know what you'll be doing
and I'll know what to help with

thank you hao
<3
ilysm thank you

it's no problem
I'm glad I can help
remember that I'm always here for you so if you ever need anything
you know who to come to
you should probably try to sleep now
take care and good night <3

good night hao
sleep well

you too :) <3
