Pursuit of Happiness | Taz Skylar

085. groupchat

[zoe, bree & faye]

bree
so how did last night go?

zoe
it was wild
i found out that kiki's the one to blame for that one late night phone call from taz's phone
taz and kiki turned on dopamine hit at full volume and were singing at the top of their lungs until the neighbours banged on the door and told us to shut up
kiki picked me up at one point and taz found it hilarious for some reason
i drank wine in the bathtub with emily and wrote a song with jacob

faye
that is a lot to unpack

bree
nah that's about right for a night of drinking with taz and zoe
i'm honestly surprised that the engagement party didn't end up derailing like that

zoe
we were on our best behaviour that night

bree
that is the only night you two have ever been on your best behaviour

zoe
that's not true

bree
i'm sorry but it just is

faye
i have so many questions
the first of which being if there is a video of taz and kiki singing dopamine hit at the top of their lungs
if so i need to see it

bree
PLEASE

zoe
yeah, mackenyu sent it to me
i'll send it soon
i am still quite hungover

faye
😂😂
second question – why the fuck were you and emily drinking wine in the bathtub?

zoe
i do not remember doing this but apparently i got some wine in me and got really excited about the bathtub again. emily and jacob were the only ones that would listen to me about it
eventually everyone ended up in the bathroom while me and jacob worked on the song

bree
wait you worked on the song after you'd started drinking?
is it any good?

zoe
it still needs some workshopping, but i've honestly written worse songs drunk

faye
have you written many songs drunk before?

zoe
yeah i was drunk when i wrote half of stargazer tbh

faye
OF THE ENTIRE ALBUM?

zoe
when i wrote the first drafts i was
i was sober when i was polishing them, though

faye
i have questions but i don't know if i want to ask them
i'm scared of the answers

zoe
honestly, i don't really want to answer them right now
i have too much going on in my head as it is

bree
what's wrong? it sounded like you had fun??

zoe
i did
i like them all, and i think they like me?? it seemed like they did and taz said they seemed to

faye
so what's the problem?

zoe
i don't think taz told them how we broke up
kiki asked about my rose tattoo and when i told him that i got it to cover up a scar i got in the accident he looked so confused so taz clearly never told them

bree
why is that a problem?

zoe
i guess it's not
i just feel weird about it

faye
why?

zoe
i don't know
my stupid brain is just telling me that this is something that i should be worried about but won't tell me why so i'm starting to panic a little when i have no actual reason to

bree
you know the explanation is probably the most obvious one, right? he probably just doesn't like talking about it

zoe
yeah, but he's taz. he talks about everything

bree
yeah but the breakup has always been different
if you're that worried about it, you should talk to him about it
taz is the only one who can tell you why he does the things he does

zoe
yeah i guess that's true
