i had been messaging travis consecutively after school that day, struggling to convince him i was sorry. no matter how much i tried he wouldn't believe me.

larry

everyone forgives u

travis

ik ur lying to me
i've alr said i'm sorry for treating u all like that
what else do u want from me

larry
i promise i'm not
i'm srry just give me another chance
pls

travis
i swr leave me alone

afterwards i called him constantly for ages, yet he never picked up. it always went to voice mail or he just hung up on me.

travis
seriously
i hate you

i tried to ignore the message, setting my phone down and frowning while thinking to myself again, knowing me and travis could've had something together but i ruined it, even if it was only friendship. not like i wanted anything else. no matter what, i never gave up on trying to talk to him and convince him.

larry
please travis
i swear we forgive u i'll do anything to prove it

travis
okay

larry
seriously?

travis
yh
get ashley to tell me to my face
and actually prove it by being friends with me
properly

larry
ofc
i promise

i smiled to myself, my mood changing so quickly. as i read back through the messages, i stumbled upon something i didn't want to find. i had been scrolling through messages with random people out of boredom, laughing at some old messages and sometimes feeling generally upset. i never would've looked if i knew i would've found messages from my ex girlfriend.

larry

christina

larry

christina

just this once

larry
okay

christina
don't bite me this time
i swear to god

i stared down at my phone, completely unable to move at the fact i could be so easily manipulated and so stupid to give into her like that, knowing i was strong enough to say no, yet i just couldn't. no matter how much i cried and bled i could never ever say no to her because i was scared of being made to feel like i was the bad person.

travis
r u ok btw
u haven't been looking the best

i moved my fingers across the screen, struggling on what to say. i couldn't say anything but blankly sit there. why didn't i just tell him?

larry
im ok
thanks
r u

travis
yea

knowing he felt the same as me, i watched the bubble that showed him typing disappear. i knew i had to speak to him again.
