Pursuit of Happiness | Taz Skylar

[zoe, bree & faye]

zoe
i think i'm going to die
like i'm actually going to die

faye
are you actually going to die or are you being dramatic again

zoe
taz has decided he wants me to meet his parents before we leave tenerife

faye
oh so you're just being dramatic then

zoe
FAYE I AM PANICKING
what if they hate me?

bree
zoe breathe
it's going to be okay

zoe
bree he won't tell me what he told them about the breakup
which tells me that they probably know everything and he just doesn't want to stress me out but that's stressing me out more

bree
i really don't think he talked about it with them

zoe
that doesn't sound right
taz fucking loves his parents

bree
yeah but that doesn't mean that he ran to them the second that you guys broke up

zoe
it's what i would have done

bree
i think we've established that the way that taz behaved after the breakup and the way that you would have behaved if you were in the same situation are two completely different things. based off what i know taz actually told them very little about the breakup

zoe
but he told me that he was really angry at me in the beginning

bree
and that's true. i'd never seen him that pissed off before and i haven't seen him like that since. but i think that he just didn't want to talk about it to anyone except jay initially and then he didn't want to hear people saying bad things about you once he got over it a bit

zoe
be right back i'm going to go cry

faye
do not cry
you've got this

zoe
okay okay okay
i'm not going to cry
but what the fuck do i wear

faye
whatever you do
do not wear the dress you wore to jay and bree's engagement party

zoe
wtf
why?
i like that dress

bree
because taz also likes that dress

zoe
so what's the problem?

bree
god you're dumb sometimes
he REALLY likes that dress

faye
i know i was pretty drunk that night by the time that you got there, but i do vaguely remember that he was staring at your legs when i went out to grab you for shots

zoe
oh
he was??

faye
YES
i'm surprised you didn't notice
mans wasn't exactly subtle about it

bree
it's because for someone who's entire job is acting taz actually can't keep his dumb emotions off his dumb face

zoe
this is true
okay i think i found something to wear
do we think i should take my nose ring out?

bree
only if you're planning on taking your tongue one out too

zoe
fuck you're right
okay they're staying in
i might put a stud in my nose though
it's less noticeable

faye
it's kind of cute, listening to you panic about this

zoe
no one can know i've gone soft

bree
you and taz have been nothing but sappy on main on instagram ever since you got to tenerife i think we're past that now you idiot

zoe
okay we're in the car
no turning back now i guess

faye
i have a question
how in the hell did you not meet his parents the first time around?
weren't you guys together for like a year?

zoe
okay so fun fact: taz and i actually had plans to go to tenerife a couple weeks after the car accident because i hadn't met his parents but then the accident happened and i broke up with him and it obviously never happened

faye
zoe i want you to google the meaning of a fun fact
that's not a fun fact
that's sad
i'm sad now

zoe
sorry
fuck we're here
i'm panicking again

bree
zoe breathe
it's going to be okay
taz wouldn't take you if he thought they weren't going to like you
trust him

zoe
okay okay
i'm trying

faye
and stop texting
let us know how it goes when you guys leave

zoe
okay
i'll talk to you guys later

bree
good luck

faye
how do you think it's actually going to go?

bree
it'll be fine
this is the same man who refused to tell jay that they'd gotten back together until it was absolutely necessary because he wasn't sure how jay was going to react
i think she's just stressing a little bit because she's also going to be meeting his castmates when they go to london and she's probably nervous about that too

faye
he's really having her meet everyone all at once huh

bree
i think he's just excited and making up for lost time, which is fair

faye
are you still feeling sad about zoe moving to london after the wedding?

bree
a little, but i'm okay
mostly i'm just happy for them
it helps that taz and jay have been friends for years despite always having lived on entirely different continents. it makes me think that me and zoe are going to be okay

faye
i think you guys have been through too much together for something like her moving to london to break your friendship tbh

bree
i think so too

zoe
update: they liked me

bree
SO WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED

zoe
trust my boyfriend?

bree
TRUST YOUR BOYFRIEND
