15:24pm:
We talk everyday.
15:27pm:
You say it like it's a bad thing Amy.
It's sweet.
15:28pm:
Not when you know it can't go anywhere, ever.
Because he lives in Australia.
15:28pm:
Plus you've known him for all of 2 months?
15:28pm:
That too.
I just, I don't know.
It's not like messaging Liam.
15:28pm:
You messaged Liam??
Tell me you're joking
I will personally smash your phone if you messaged Liam.
15:28pm:
wtf no, never.
I meant in the past.
I'd ask him how he was doing or how he felt about things but his answers remained vague and as if I was an irritant.
15:29pm:
And then with Ashton?
15:29pm:
He actually makes time to listen to me, answer me in the middle of the night when I forget that he lives over 15,000 KM away from me.
yet it feels as if he is my neighbour or my other best friend who I can sit in a room with in a comfortable silence.
15:30pm:
being honest here Amy I have to ask
what is it about him that matters?
cause have you not thought about the fact he could be a cat fish?
like just using you, or using you as emotional bait or something?
15:30pm:
what?
15:30pm:
what?
I've been watching catfish a lot.
15:30pm:
you think Ashton is a catfish?
any reason why?
15:30pm:
multiple.
1. Ashton isn't a rare name. Plus Australian? Has he got friends named Calum, Luke and Michael?
15:30pm:
funny
15:30pm:
2. Does he know Joe lives there? Maybe that is why he said Australia.
15:31pm:
but he said I phoned him, and that you were there too....
15:31pm:
you did phone him
I messaged him
but that doesn't mean I believe him.
just be careful with this okay? I don't mean to sound like your mum its just, look out.
15:31pm:
I will
its just you don't know him like I do Flora.
15:35pm:
but Amy this is what I'm trying to say
do you know him?
