I Won't Leave You || mgc

Chapter 28

Layla:
Hey, we haven't talked in a while :3

Adley:
Hey, yeah sorry, I was kinda busy. I'm working overtime since I got home :/

Layla:
Aw, why?

Adley:
I'm kinda short on money right now

Layla:
That sucks

Layla:
So you've been working extra hours for a month now? Do you know how long you have to do that?

Adley:
Yeah, I just really need the money. I'll probably need to move in with Aiden tho. I think I'll do it as long as I can, idk.
But what about you? How are you doing?

Layla:
I'm great, school is hella stressful but I'm used to it

Layla:
You can be really happy you aren't in school anymore

Adley:
I am, I'm sorry for you

Adley:
But just that year and you are done :3

Layla:
Yaaay

Layla:
How are things with you and Michael?

Adley:
I wish I know

Layla:
What's that supposed to mean?

Adley:
We are barely chatting anymore, not calling at all and I honestly don't really like that

Layla:
I'm sorry

Adley:
It's just the time zone and my work and their tour...

Layla:
But the tour is over in a week, he'll have more time then

Adley:
I know but still, then his time zone is constantly eight hours ahead

Adley:
That means we can just chat during lunch breaks, I don't have time in the morning and when I get off from work he's already asleep

Layla:
You still have the weekends

Adley:
Just Sunday's, I'm working on Saturday's now too

Layla:
But the store is closed on Saturday's?

Adley:
I know, but we get the deliveries of the new stuff then

Layla:
Don't you have a guy for that?

Adley:
We had, but he quit. And that was the perfect opportunity for me. Now I take the deliveries every Saturday and, put everything away and sort the CD's and stuft. It's actually pretty cool cuz it's just me and another guy in my age, we are alone in the store and his taste in music is great.

Layla:
Have you told Michael about your financial problems?

Adley:
I told you we are barely speaking anymore. I have no idea what's going on his life (besides everything they say in interviews) and he has no idea what's going on in my life. And why should I tell him?

Layla:
I don't know, you never know what connections he may have... maybe he can get you a better job? Your job used to be part time and I'm sure how much you work now isn't worth the money you make.

Adley:
I doubt that he can get me a new job... I never even wanted a full time job anyway and the payment for the part time one was good... now it's not really worth it, you are right.

Adley:
But I don't have enough money for my rent this month and I can't risk losing this job, I don't even have time to look for another one. My boss gives me all this work and I can't just refuse to work overtime when I really need this job.

Layla:
I'm just a student, I don't really know about all this stuff :/ But I'm sure before you overexert yourself you should move in with Aiden and take a break.

Adley:
Maybe you are right

Layla:
Everything will be fine

Layla:
And you really need to talk to Michael, he's better with this real life stuff than I am

Adley:
I know, he's just worrying so much about me all the time

Layla:
Can you blame him? I worry about you too. What you are doing isn't healthy anymore. That's not good for your body or mind. If he knew about all that he'd freak out and we both know that.

Adley:
._.

Layla:
You can talk with Ashton? Aren't you guys like super close?

Adley:
Kinda, yeah

Adley:
Maybe I'll talk to him... or Mikey

Adley:
I don't know

Layla:
Just change something, please.

Layla:
I don't want you to have a burnout.

Layla:
And I'm sure you are pretty close to having one.

Adley:
Don't worry. I'm fine, okay?

Adley:
But I'll talk to them if it makes you feel better?

Layla:
Please

Adley:
Okay, tomorrow.
