Seen

Dumbass: nora, i know you saw the message
Seen 

Dumbass: come on please talk to me
Seen 

Dumbass: okay look i don't know what i did but i'm sorry. it's obvious that i've hurt you in some way and i really didn't mean to
Seen 

Dumbass: and i realize that i am apologizing through text and you hate that but we don't know each other irl and it would have been kind of weird showing up at your door because a) you never told me where you live and b) i would look like a stalker

Smartass: yeah true 

Smartass: i am willing to let the whole apologizing through text thing go if you tell me one thing......

Dumbass: oh good you're talking to me again 

Dumbass: what do you want to know? 

Smartass: did you ever count me as a friend? a true friend that you could count on even though we've never met in real life? 

Dumbass: yes of course why would you even ask such a thing? 

Smartass: okay. that's all i needed to know 

Dumbass: nora, just tell me what's going on
Seen 

Dumbass: nora, please 

Smartass: i broke up with Max 

Dumbass: what? really? 

Smartass: yeah

Dumbass: i'm sorry. are you okay? 

Smartass: yeah, i'm fine. i realized that we couldn't keep going because i honestly didn't have feelings for him anymore 

Smartass: the thing is i could have if it weren't for the fact that i realized that in the meantime i had gotten feelings for someone else, sooo yeah

Dumbass: oh 

Dumbass: i guess that's good then :) 

Dumbass: what about this other guy? does he have feelings for you too? 

Smartass: for a while i kind of thought he did but he might be with someone else now, so... 

Dumbass: are you sure he's with someone else? 

Smartass: no, but it's a possibility due to certain information i know 

Dumbass: why don't you just ask him? 

Smartass: it's not that easy 

Dumbass: sometimes talking about it helps

Dumbass: playing games with another person just creates complications

Smartass: i guess 

Smartass: i don't know 

Smartass: i'll definitely think about it, though

Smartass: thanks, Tris

Dumbass: you're welcome

I was listening to Lay It on Me while editing this chapter and I decided that it went really well with it, so I have posted it in the media. :)
