blue: griffin
remember you said that micah and i would come to you if something happened between us?
well....

griffin: something happened????

blue: haha...yeah
we made out at the halloween party

griffin: like...a full on??

blue: yeah
outside by the pool and in the guest house

griffin: jesus christ
are you satisfied w yourself

blue: ???
yes??
why did i read that w an attitude

griffin: it's just...i meant for you guys to tell me so that i could tell you two to stop. that weird flirting y'all do is fine. but this? this is where emotions come in

blue: he literally told me he had feelings for me griffin
they didn't "come in" here, they were already here

griffin: so he finally admitted it

blue: ?? this wasn't a recent thing?

griffin: no
and the fact that he told you while he's still madly in love with sidney alarms me

blue: well with what he told me last night, it didn't *seem* like he was madly in love with her
he seemed upset about it all
but then again, he was drunk
so maybe, all of it was fake after all

griffin: it's definitely not, he's mentioned his feelings sober too
none of this is a good idea

blue: i think it's pretty okay
if he has feelings for me and wants to be w me and the only thing holding him back is sidney, i think it's a pretty good thing

griffin: god no
he is NOT going to break up with sidney, you know that right?
he's literally going to string you along

blue: he literally said he wasn't happy with their situation
he's smart...why would he stay with her and be unhappy??

griffin: that girl has a hold on him that no one will be able to break unless something eternally fucked up happens between them, and it doesn't look like that's happening anytime soon
they have too much history, i hope you realize that

blue: you're wrong

griffin: ive known micah for almost my whole life
ive seen him pine over this girl for years
i assure you im not

blue: we'll see

griffin: yeah, ig we will

"You look like shit."

Micah lets out a loud, tired groan, pulling his comforter over his face. His room is completely dark, blinds closed so that not a single sliver of light is allowed to peek in.

I brought him plenty of water, a super sized container of Advil, and an All Star from Waffle House, with a blueberry waffle, grits, and bacon. His favorite.

"I feel like shit."

"Well, I paid 10$ to get you an All Star, so please get up and eat it." Micah's unruly head peeks out from under his comforter, his bloodshot eyes focusing in on the bag in my hand.
