Dear Diary, 

So, Mark made me stay in my apartment until two o'clock in the afternoon. I don't know what he's planning on doing, but I'm very curious. I wonder if he's making a surprise late lunch date? I have nothing to do while I wait for it to be two. I think I'll pull my hair back and start memorizing my lines and the melodies of the songs for my next musical I'll be starring in. 

As I was looking at the lyrics for one of the songs in Act 2, I saw the third song in Act 2. It was a love song. It reminded me of Mark and me. I started to hum the melody of my part. 

This song is so beautiful. I wonder what's going to happen after this song is over... I pondered while holding the sheet music.

"Evan and Zoe share a kiss once the singing ends."

Oh, no. I'd have to kiss the actor who plays Evan! Oh, no oh, no oh, no. What am I going to tell Mark? "Hey, Honey! I'm off to go to Dear Evan Hansen rehearsal to go make out with another guy,love you!" 

Oh dear God. Please help me through this dilemma that I have to face right now. 

It's times like these that I wish that I had a girl friend to confide in with these problems. The closest thing I have to a girl friend are the girls from New York. I'll text Phillipa Soo and see if she'll have any advice for me. 

(Name for Phillipa: Pippa)

(Y/n): Hey, my little cinnamon roll!! I need your advice on something!

Pippa: Yeah, sure! What's up?

(Y/n): Uhh... I'm in the California version of Dear Evan Hansen...

Pippa: Oh, (Y/n)! That's great!!! I'm so proud of you!! What part did you get?

 (Y/n): I got the part of Zoe Murphy. So, I wanted to tell you that in the song "Only Us" I have to kiss Evan. I recently became taken by a YouTube gamer. I don't know what to tell him when I go to rehearsal. Help me out, here, Pippa!!!

Pippa: OHHH I'm so happy you've found someone else who shares your interests! We'll have to talk more about your new boyfriend soon! Just tell him what you're going to do. tell him you're going to go act like you love another man, when you're really in love with this YouTube gamer. Oh, and I need to ask you, what's his name?

(Y/n): My new boyfriend's name is Mark. His YouTube channel name is Markiplier. I might've mentioned him once or twice when I was around you. But tell me how I should tell him in the exact words I should use. I don't really know how to put that jumbled up mess into a sentence. I'm going to need a lot of help if this is going to be like this. 

Pippa: Tell him: Mark, the role that I'm playing in Dear Evan Hansen involves some kissing scenes, and I don't know how you feel about knowing that I'll be kissing another man, but just know that I don't love him like I love you. I love you more  than all of the stars in the entire galaxy. I don't want you to think that I'm cheating on you, not that I ever would, but I'm only doing my job. That's what pays the bills to live in my small apartment. I just wanted you to know so if I ever appear on a YouTube clip of me making out with a guy onstage, then you won't freak out. I love you way too much to ever want to hurt you.

(Y/n): Oh... Wow. That's quite a mouthful to say in one breath. 

Pippa:  Sorry. That's the only way I could really capture your feelings. I think that I could become a writer.
