after dropping estelle off at the train station and saying goodbye to her, zach sent a couple texts, one of which to make sure his ex-bandmate was home before driving himself over to the apartment complex.

jonah soon let the boy in, doing a quick handshake with him before going back to the dishes whilst zach slightly paced around the space between the living room and kitchen.

"..so are you good, bro?" jonah spoke up again since his previous question of why he was there, all the younger answered with was a small grumble.

"is val here?" he finally got out.

"yeah, she's feeding baby, what's up? why do you need to talk to her?" his eyes continued to follow the other as he was making it way over to the living room space.

"it just doesn't make sense," zach groaned, falling back on the lounge.

jonah said a softly hummed under his breath as he turned his attention back to the dishes whilst they waited for his girlfriend to finish up with feeding their baby and getting her back to sleep.

"finally." the younger boy huffed out and he sat as the girl entered into the living room area.

"hi zach.." valentina glanced over to her boyfriend, furrowing at him slight then back at the boy still quite confused as she sat down on the lounge. "how did your weekend with the girl from arizona go?"

"shit."

"oh.. why's that?"

"my alarm didn't go off friday morning so i'm sure she was thinking i tricked her into coming here or something. and then i don't think she enjoyed the party i took her to, and i got really drunk there and that probably made it less enjoyable for her cause then i spent basically all of saturday in bed hungover..."

"and i think i fucked up at dinner tonight cause i called the touristy things she wants to do shit- which is true, i think they're stupid and i don't want to do them, but with her i probably wouldn't mind if that's what she really wanted to do- oh and i tried to have sex with her but i guess my dick's too big."

jonah let out a chuckle at the last comment and then quickly said; "sorry.." as his girlfriend looked over and shook her head at him — despite trying to hold back her own laughter.

"well firstly, hopefully you apologised for sleeping in instead of picking her up-"

"i did. i'm not fucked in the head."

"okay, and for the party, that's on you for not knowing when to stop drinking so you could've actually done something on saturday. and also, maybe you should just apologise for saying the touristy things she wants to do are stupid, and tell her exactly what you just said about being okay with doing them with her.."

"i don't know why i bother it's too much effort to date her anyway," he sighed.

"why because she lives in arizona?" valentina questioned.

"yeah, that, and... nevermind."

"let me ask you a question.." jonah spoke up as he walked over closer to the other two. "if you two had of had sex, and 'your dick wasn't too big' or whatever, would it still be too much effort?"

"i suggest that if the answer's no, don't even speak," the girl commented.

"... what's the point when she lives in a different state," zach rhetorically asked while letting out a huff.

"you've done long distance before.. multiple times before actually.. so why can't you with her? it's a- what? a hour and a half flight to her and she's obviously willing to come here, you can make it work."

"yeah but she's always like i got school, i got this, i can't come."

"then you go visit her?" he furrowed. "you have the money. and it's not like you've got things to do here twenty-four-seven. and also she can't be expected to always be the one to travel, you gotta put in the effort too."

"or if you really dont think it'll work, you need to be honest with her and give her that closure so she can move on," valentina added. "but if you like her, keep pursuing things, who knows what might happen. maybe you'll fall in love with arizona and wanna move there to her, maybe she'll want to transfer colleges and move here,"

"have you ever asked her how you two even matched when she's in a different state?" jonah asked, watching the younger subtly shake his head. "maybe there's a reason why she's okay with you being here, maybe she does eventually want to move here."

"yeah but what's the fuckin' point of all that if we can't even have basic sex."

"you tried missionary?" she raised a brow.

"yea."

"and what, it was uncomfortable for her? is that why you assume your dick's too big."

"yea. she said it hurt."

"you adalyn would laugh in your face right now for thinking that?" she chuckled herself as she watched the boy roll his eyes. "maybe try something else, find out what she's comfortable with.."

"she's never had sex though."

"okay, well then trial and error. get acquainted with her body. what might be enjoyable for one female, might not be for another. although you may think all bodies are the same, they're not."

"yeah, yeah, whatever."

"trust me zach, if a woman can birth a baby vagina, your dick isn't 'too big' for one, and you thinking that is laughable. she probably just needed a little foreplay or adjust the way she was laying and you would've been good."

"mh," zach hummed as he moved his attention to his phone, checking the reply from the other person he messaged almost an hour earlier now. "anyway, i got somewhere to go before home."

"don't tell me you're gonna go hookup with some random girl," valentina shook her head at him.

"i'm single, i can do what i want."

"okay," she let a disappointed laugh and then held her hands up as she gave up trying to help him out — although he came over seemingly wanting advice on what to do with estelle.
