"Finally you pick up"

"Yeah sorry about that, I've been super busy with finishing up the tour and everything. I've hardly had time for myself."

"You chose not to give yourself time to yourself. Baby you're doing too much this isn't healthy..."

"I'm fine H, don't worry."

"No. You're not. And you have every right not to be okay with everything that happened with Ash-"

"I'm fine H, please. This has noth-"

"Don't you dare change the subject. You need to stop bottling things up Thea, you're going to explode otherwise"

"..."
"God I'm so stupid aren't I"

"No you're not"

"I really thought that this was right. He felt right H, no one ever felt right before. But I put myself in this mess, I let myself-"

"You need to stop blaming yourself for fucks sake Alithea. He fucked up. He hurt you. You didn't do shit."

"Please don't shout. I can't- I don't-"

"Oh no baby don't cry. I'm not shouting at you."

"I know. I just feel so stupid. Why do I feel more heartbroken now than I did with Aaron? I hate it. I hate it so much."

"Because you love him more than you've ever loved anyone else."

"The worse part is, I have no right to be mad."

"What the fuck? Of course you do."

"No, I don't. We were never together, we never kissed, nothing ever happened."

"Alithea..."

"Goodnight H, I'll see you this weekend."
