17:10pm:
I know that it is early for you but can we talk later?
I'm not trying to make this seem all eerie or mysterious
we just need to talk about something23:00pm:
Amy hi, I just woke up sorry.
Is everything okay? It's not like you to be so serious.23:01pm:
I'm worried you'll take this the wrong way
and not want to talk to me anymore23:01pm:
it can't be that bad23:01pm:
i'm paranoid.23:01pm:
about something? someone?23:01pm:
about you23:01pm:
did not expect that I can say
why me?23:01pm:
as I'm afraid.
you could be a catfish
and I was talking to Flora and it isn't that irrational when you think about it23:02pm:
me?
a catfish?
wow
didn't see that coming23:02pm:
are you mad?23:02pm:
more so confused as to why23:02pm:
there are a lot of reasons why23:02pm:
well I'd love to know why23:02pm:
you're mad
I knew it23:02pm:
can you just tell me why?23:03pm:
well
you say you're from Australia but could it be because my brother is there?
Ashton is a common name
Do you have friends who are in a band?23:03pm:
are you asking me if I am Ashton Irwin?23:03pm:
possibly.23:03pm:
Amy this isn't a fan fiction
I am not Ashton Irwin just because I'm Australian.23:03pm:
it was worth asking
but that doesn't mean I believe you23:03pm:
so what is the next reason then?23:03pm:
you said I phoned you and that I laughed at your Aussie accent
I have no memory so how can I believe that entire thing23:03pm:
okay that is more fair
maybe because when you laugh you get over excited and burst into a fit of giggles and mumble words in between?
how would I know that if I didn't talk to you?23:04pm:
okay.
you pass that bit.23:05pm:
I'm just nervous of getting too close to you23:05pm:
wow Liam did some real damage didn't he?23:05pm:
this time of year is never easy for my family.
with Liam lurking from the other side of the country
and family stuff
its not easy to believe people I don't know.23:05pm:
Amy I have to ask you something too
I don't think you're a catfish but
do you want to talk
like face to face?23:05pm:
right now?23:05pm:
I know it's late but I thought just to tell you the truth, it might be easier.23:05pm:
im scared
what if I disappoint you
that I'm not what you expect?23:05pm:
let me know then, when you're ready to.23:06pm:
how about a phone call?
or a FaceTime call as that won't rack up the phone bill23:06pm:
give me two minutes?23:06pm:
Okay.23:06pm:
Still nervous?23:06pm:
bloody terrified.23:06pm:
It's only me, Amy.
I'm not a liar.
I'm just Ashton x
