Adley:
When you told me I can write you if I need someone to talk to... did you really mean that?

Adley:
Because I don't know what to do

Adley:
And nobody wants to listen...

Adley:
I'm sorry to bother you, just ignore my messages

Michael:
Of course I really meant that and I'm sorry I didn't answer you sooner

Michael:
And you are so not bothering me

Michael:
Adley?

Michael:
Are you okay?

Michael
I'm worried

Adley:
I'm fine, sorry for the messages, don't worry

Michael:
Don't be sorry, what's wrong?


Adley:
Nothing, really

Michael:
You can trust me, I'd like to help you

Adley:
Don't you have something better to do?

Michael:
Chatting with you is the best I can do right now

Michael:
That sounded way better in my head

Michael:
Okay but really, you can tell me whatever you want and I'll listen.

Adley:
Really?

Michael:
Of course

Adley
It's just that... idk... my whole life is falling apart right now.
I don't know what to do anymore.
I don't have a single true friend, they are all just fake friends and I keep hanging out with them anyway because I don't have anyone besides them, you know?
And I know they are not good for me and everything but they still hang out with me... so I guess that's kinda friendly?

And I just don't want to keep going.

I know you'll tell me it will get better and everything but I can't believe that anymore, people keep telling me that for years now and it just gets worse and worse everyday.

And I don't think it will ever get better.

Michael:
It will get better.

Michael:
And you know why?

Michael:
Because now you have me and I won't leave your side.

Adley:
Promised?

Michael:
Promised.
