Bellabeauty: Hey
Joshstar123: BELLA WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH
Bellabeauty: My cousin got shot. By the police
Joshstar123: I'm calling you
"Hey"
"What do you mean your cousin got shot?"
" They day I called you I had gotten a phone call from the police. They thought he had a gun and was a white man. HOW COULD THEY FUCK UP THAT MUCH? He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time"
"Jesus Bella I'm so sorry I read it online I didn't know you were related"
"My aunt is devastated he did nothing wrong in his life he was going to be so successful. Americans think it's just in America we have it here in London as well"
"Being a black man is already a struggle before we even open out mouths we are judged I could be in a suit and tie and I bet you someone would cross the road because they were scared of me"
"I don't get it Josh how could they mistake a white man for a black man"
" I don't know I really don't know what's going to happen to the officer?"
" He's been suspended with PAY but he'll most likely keep his job because our government is racist and corrupt"
"What's your aunt doing about it"
"The police are trying to pay her off but she doesn't want it. Her and my mum are planning a protest in central London as it is all over Twitter they're are trying to gather as much people as possible but we want it to be peaceful"
"When's the protest I'll come"
"Next week Saturday"
"Damn"
"You can't go?"
"No I have ceremony I must be at. I can try to sneak out"
"No you go I'm proud without it being on purpose you break stereotypes for black man everywhere in a way you're helping as well"
"I never thought of it like that. I like it when you're proud of me"
"I'm always proud of you"
"Are you okay Bella?"
"Let's talk about something else"
"Sure did you know according to studies coffee causes cancer, prevents cancer, makes you die sooner makes you live longer, causes depression and reduces your chances of commuting suicide"
"Wow so it's good and bad for you?"
"Technically yes"
"Well I hate Starbucks so I guess that's something"
"Oooooo not the typical white girl"
"Never. I can't support a place that does not pay their taxes"
"My girl has brains"
"Your girl?"
"Well .... you see... ummmm.. what I meant but that"
" hahaha don't worry I'll be your girl"
"Are you serious?"
"Don't let it get to your head we haven't even met yet"
"IT ALREADY HAS"
"Until next time Josh"
"Until next time Bell"
