tell you something.
✓read at 2:08 a.m

you're lucky i love
you enough to answer
your texts this early.
✓read at 2:10 a.m

talk to me, baby.
✓read at 2:10 a.m

i don't know if i should
tell you this. it's not exactly
a rainbow or a pocket
full of sunshine.
✓read at 2:13 a.m

now you most definitely
need to tell me what's
happening in that
pea—sized brain of yours.
✓read at 2:13 a.m

i saw theo.
✓read at 2:15 a.m

what the fuck
✓read at 2:16 a.m

THEO? why didn't
you tell me sooner?!
✓read at 2:16 a.m

because as soon as i
realised it was him, he just
disappeared.
✓read at 2:19 a.m

what do you mean,
he 'disappeared'??
✓read at 2:20 a.m

has he been taking
magic lessons from
dynamo or some shit?
✓read at 2:20 a.m

maybe so, because one
minute he's in front of me,
staring me out, and the next
he's gone. completely gone.
✓read at 2:22 a.m

let's hope he's gone
for good.
✓read at 2:23 a.m

that's the thing.
✓read at 2:24 a.m

at the end of the party
i got a text from an unknown
number, saying how this person
saw me like they were hoping.
✓read at 2:24 a.m

ivy, he has my phone
number.
✓read at 2:25 a.m

let's not jump to
conclusions. do you
know how many girls
give out fake numbers to
sleazy guys that ask for
their numbers??
✓read at 2:26 a.m

a shit tonne. i used
to be real adept in that
department. poor addie
simms in year 12 has been
getting random guys
messaging her ever since me
and luke got together.
✓read at 2:28 a.m

this is him.
✓read at 2:30 a.m

how can you be sure?
✓read at 2:31 a.m

he called me sweetness.
✓read at 2:31 a.m

BLOCK THAT NUMBER!
BLOCK THAT FUCKING
NUMBER, NOW, AND
MAKE SURE THAT BLAKE
DOES NOT KNOW THEO IS
BACK IN TOWN.
✓read at 2:32 a.m
