BABBBYYYYYYY
WHERE ARE YOU

taz
so you're awake then 😂😂

zoe
yes
where are you
i miss you

taz
i had a couple of errands to run
i shouldn't be too much longer

zoe
you could have woken me up
i wouldn't have minded going with you

taz
we only have a couple of days before we fly back to the us
i wanted to let you get some good sleep in before then

zoe
❤️❤️
okay well i might bite the bullet and call the record label and tell them about me moving here
so if you get back and i'm crying, that will be why

taz
are you expecting it to go badly?

zoe
one of two things is going to happen
1 - they make me pump out the album as fast as possible, but i don't get to go on tour
2 - they cancel the album entirely

taz
neither of those sound ideal
everything i learn about this record label makes me like them less and less

zoe
they're not that bad
they're just sick of me
i'm difficult to work with

taz
are you actually difficult to work with or is it that just them saying that?

zoe
i don't even know anymore
bree doesn't have to put up with nearly as much shit from them as i do
but then again she actually picks up the phone when they call
and she doesn't give them headaches by being too much of a perfectionist

taz
your music is good though
being a perfectionist isn't necessarily a bad thing

zoe
and what about me dodging calls?

taz
well yeah that's not as good
but did that start before or after they started breathing down your neck to push out an album faster than you can write songs you're happy with?

zoe
after

taz
so it's by their own design then

zoe
i guess
doesn't change the fact that they think i'm difficult so they're not likely to do me any favours especially with me leaving
ugh this phone call is going to fucking suck

taz
you got this
do you want me to grab you some coffee on my way home?

zoe
oh my god yes please i love you so much

taz
😂😂
i love you too
good luck

zoe
thanks
i feel like i'm going to need it
