[ iMESSAGE between
IVORY and TOM ]

UNKNOWN NUMBER
hello, ivory 😊

IVY
stranger.

UNKNOWN NUMBER
it's tom holland

UNKNOWN NUMBER
uh, you know me
. . .right?

IVY
should i?

UNKNOWN NUMBER
well, yeah i guess? i mean,
i'm your brother's co-star
in civil war. i saw you when
you visited the set once 😊

IVY
if you say so

IVY changed UNKNOWN NUMBER
to TOM

IVY
maybe i didn't see
you but that's okay

IVY
anyway what's up?

TOM
i know we didn't talk
properly that day, like not
talking at all. but i know
what happened to you, i've
seen the news and everything
and since your brother is my
co-star and i consider him
family. i guess that makes
you family as well. . .and uh,
you know families care for
each other and look after
each other

TOM
so, my point is how are
you holding up? should
i activate my instant kill
mode because a guy has
hurt one of my family?

IVY
seriously wth is wrong
with you people and
your ridiculous desire
to murder someone?

IVY
don't do anything,
you hear me? i'm perfectly
capable of handling it myself

TOM
shit, i'm so sorry
if i've offended you

TOM
i don't mean to say
you are not capable
of solving your own
problems. i just. . .i
thought maybe i can
help you to ease the
pain that's all 😔

IVY
i'm sorry but where did
you get my number?
because i'm pretty sure
sebastian won't give my
number randomly to the
people i don't even know

TOM
lizzie gave it to me. . .

TOM
please don't be mad at her
she only helped me because
i was the one who asked first

IVY
and why on earth would
you ask for my number?

TOM
uh. . .because
i want to help?

IVY
well, lucky for you
i don't need it thanks
