she calls.
Her: Are you ok?
Him: Why wouldn't I be?
Her: You have a black eye and a fractured wrist.
Him: How'd you know?
Her: News travels fast when you're popular.
Him: Ok fair enough.
Her: So why'd you punch him?
Him: He insulted and broke my friend. No one does that.
Her: Matt and Jane?
Him: Yeah. I trusted him with her and he screwed it up.
Her: What'd he do?
Him: Don't you already know?
Her: I choose to only completely believe rumours when hearing them from a credible source.
Him: Aw you think I'm credible.
Her: Luke.
Him: Fine. He was only with her for a bet. Asshole lied to me about his intentions.
Her: That's horrible.
Him: Exactly why we got into a fight.
Her: So you were defending Jane?
Him: Yeah.
Her: You're admirable.
Him: ....
Her: Luke?
Him: O-oh yeah. Thanks.
Her: Anyways I answered him yesterday
Him: Mysty!
Her: You were right. I shouldn't have. I was weak. I would've taken him back as my friend right away.
Him: But?
Her: He only called to tell me to bring his sweater from my house. The one he freaking gave me.
Him: I'm starting to hate this guy even more.
Her: Same here. Just as much as I hate Matt.
Him: How sweet. You hate him because he hurt me.
Her: And other reasons.
Him: What?
Her: Nothing.
Him: Mysty. What did he do?
Her: So Jane. Jane's a sweet girl.
Him: Fuck Mysty seriously.
Her: So back to Jane.
Him: I'm not going to let this go. You're going to tell me someday.
Her: Jane.
Him: Fine have it your way. Yeah, she's pretty cool.
Her: And she likes you.
Him: What?!
Her: Yeah, it's obvious, Luke.
Him: How?
Her: Did you notice she barely cried when Matt told her?
Him: That doesn't mean anything.
Her: It's because she didn't completely like him. She likes you. I can tell. Trust me on this.
Him: Oh. Well, it doesn't matter anyway.
Her: Why?
Him: Just cause.
he hangs up.
