Hello?

Grey? I didn't think
you'd answer.

{stammers} I wasn't
going to, I just happened
to be in my bedroom
when the phone
started ringing.

Oh, yeah, {clears
throat} I saw Jackie
say that you guys
weren't really on your
phones today.

Well, it is
Christmas
{fake laugh}

{chuckles} Yeah. So,
how're you doing?

Me? I'm doing fine,
I just needed to take a
breather from the
downstairs festivities
{sniffles} you?

I'm fine. Are you
sure you're okay?

Yeah, it's just
overwhelming.
{laughs and shakes
head} It doesn't
matter.

Of course it matters,
it must be really hard
today without-

Please don't act
like you know what
I'm going through
{sniffles}

My dad passed away.

{moment of
silence} What?
{sighs} Haz, I'm
so sorry. I had
no idea.

Yeah, it's been hard.
This is our first Christmas
without him {sniffles}

I wish I could tell
you it gets easier
{dry laugh}

{chuckles} You've already
told me that it doesn't.

Why didn't
you tell me?

I guess I just thought
that you already had
so much going on with
your own family and
pain, I didn't want to
add to it {sighs}

I'm so sorry, Haz.

It's okay, I just wish
he could be here.

I can relate {deep
breath} My dads
downstairs with the
other parents and
kids making Bennie's
favourite sugar cookies
and decorating them
and I just couldn't
even be in the room.

Everything reminds
you of him.

Precisely {wipes
tear away} Anyways,
how're you holding up?

Could be a lot better,
not gonna lie {laughs}
But, I have my family
here with me today so
I'll be fine.

Good.

I'm sorry about what
Anna said in the groupchat.

Don't apologise for
other people, especially
ones who aren't sorry.

She's just not really
okay with this friendship
{shakes head}

{sighs} It's not her
life, she doesn't get a
say in your friendships.

I know, I'm just trying
to make it work with her
while trying to not lose
you as a friend. It's hard
to find a balance

I'm nothing
special {laughs}

That's not true at
all {chuckles} you
have no idea how
special you are, love.

{blushes then sighs}
Uh, I gotta go. Kellin's
calling me, we're gonna
go to Bennie's grave so.

Right, yeah, of course.
Uh, talk later?

Yeah, sure.

Bye, love. Merry Christmas

{wipes tears} Merry
Christmas, Haz.
