"hola."
"um, bonjour?"
"that's french."
"oh well. why are you calling me at... three o'clock in the morning?"
"because i need your help. it's serious."
"as serious as your fake boyfriend problems?"
"ha ha, you're so funny. i apologised for that, let it go."
"never. now what's your problem?"
"what do you do if your boyfriend is cheating on you?"
"is he seriously? oh shit, you're crying. oh my god, tahlie, please don't cry. he's a piece of shit and he doesn't deserve you."
"i know, but it's still hard. what do i do?"
"i know you probably don't want to hear this, and it'll be really hard for you, but you need to confront him. and dump him, unless you feel that your relationship can survive this."
"no way! if he's cheated once, he could cheat again and i'm not playing the fool and sticking around for that. thank you for the advice, dylan."
"well, that's literally what i get paid for, even if you're calling me off my own phone at three am. i'll always be here to help, tahlie. i know how it feels to be cheated on, but you'll move past it and eventually you'll look back on it and be thankful, because otherwise you'd still be trapped in that shitty relationship. i know it hurts now, but it will get better, trust me."
"i never knew you could get so deep, dylan."
"well, i'm just full of surprises."
"thanks, anyway, dyl."
"seriously tahlie, it's fine. call me once you've done it, yeah?"
"okay. night, dyl."
call ended
"night, tahlie."
