Metanoia | Chris Evans

To: Hayls 💋

Hayls 💋:
I see you two are getting along spectacularly while away together
You know, scoring points against each other isn't how most people spend time alone with the opposite sex, in the middle of nowhere with no neighbours
Talking about your boyfriend, where's is he?

Charls 👀:
Well, I'm not most people
Chris is out walking the boys and "enjoying nature"
And he's my best friend, not my boyfriend

Hayls 💋:
Omg, are you seriously blind?
He's literally acting like a child
Metaphorically pulling your pigtails to get your attention

Charls 👀:
You know, I've always hated that whole thing. It's so disrespectful.

Hayls 💋:
While I agree with you, that's irrelevant to the point

Charls 👀:
I saw your comment on his post yesterday, don't think I didn't 😒

Hayls 💋:
So... you think him messing with you is my fault?

Charls 👀:
No.
I just think you're reading too much into this
And that was really public btw
I have people DMing me about that comment now thanks to you

Hayls 💋:
Sorry to you but my point to him still remains. Maybe he's just finally taking the advice we've all been giving him

Charls 👀:
Forcing on him*

Hayls 💋:
Okay, sure, but you don't see how he acts around you
How he looks at you, even
Look up pining in the dictionary and I'm sure you'll find a picture of him

Charls 👀:
It's not like that
You're just reading into it too much, like I said

Hayls 💋:
And you're denying the truth because you don't want to get hurt.

Charls 👀:
No.

Hayls 💋:
Yes.
None of us are blind
We can all tell there's something going on there

Charls 👀:
You're wrong.
It's not about me getting hurt.
I ship out in less than three weeks with no guarantee I'll come home.
I refuse to ask anyone to wait for me.
So, you see, it's not me I'm worried about hurting
It's never been about me.

Hayls 💋:
Charlie, he's going to wait whether you want him to or not
He always has and probably always will, no matter what role in your life he holds

Charls 👀:
I know but he shouldn't

Hayls 💋:
Try telling him that
It won't work and you know it
Look, you two have spent a large proportion of your lives denying yourselves, pretending that you're only friends and that you're happy to remain that way. Everyone that meets you two sees it, and it's heartbreaking to watch you revolve around each other but never let yourselves take that extra step to do something about it.
Don't you think it's time to start being true to yourselves?
You're in the perfect place to figure this out together, away from all the prying eyes and pressure from jobs

Charls 👀:
Hayls, I don't know how.
I don't want to lose him
Not when I could lose everything soon

Hayls 💋:
You won't lose him.
If you do then I give you my full written permission to blame me for it.
But, I really doubt that man is going to walk away.

Charls 👀:
I don't know
There's so much that can go wrong

Hayls 💋:
There's risk with everything in life, but, if you don't try then you'll never know.

Charls 👀:
I hate you and all your advice right now
I can't believe you've even got me thinking about this

Hayls 💋:
Well, someone had to get the two of you to see the truth before it's too late, so, you're welcome.
At least you're now able to admit you like him more than a friend
