𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 hey my dear corazon, it's ya boi, nico, and the gang and i are worried about you. we know that school had just started across the pond something like a month or so ago and you're going through some stuff with your mom (again) and that you aren't really talking with anyone like a certain british boy. you don't gotta tell us what's wrong, just let us know if you're doing okay or not. <3
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 hi nic, that you for checking up on me, it means a lot. idk it's just a lot of things, like school, my mom just not being there, and yanno, being self-destructive about my feelings towards louis. my anxiety kind of went overboard this month and i just kinda locked myself away without realizing it.
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 it's okay, cora! we understand, everyone goes thru shit and reacts to it differently. do you wanna talk about it?
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 do u mind?
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 NOPE! okay! wanna tell me about school and what's troubling you there first then go down the line of everything else?
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 ok so school here is really fuckin different to the us. i'm also sort of out of date with the british slang so that makes me a little "uncool". i was expecting uniforms but??? apparently, 16-18 yros don't get them at this school??? idk it's just a lot and making friends is hard, especially without you guys here. (i did make two friends tho, flora and zoe, they're really nice.) and louis has his own friends and i don't wanna bug him too much so im just kinda vibing alone ahahahaha this is f i n e
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 have you talked to louis about this? feeling lonely at school?
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 no, i haven't talked to him in a while either i have talked to the school psychologist about it coz lol i kinda broke down crying in class third period and yeah
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 oh no :( dude i'm so sorry you feel so overwhelmed about all of this why haven't you talked to louis if you don't mind me asking?
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 it's a mixture of things really, like me realizing i really liked louis so i got spooked by that and distanced myself from him. oh and the fact that i don't really see him in classes coz apparently im on a different level or something in some classes?? (the more *elite* ones or whatever idk??) oh my god also because i don't wanna keep pouring my shit on him coz omg i do that too much with him and i feel bad about it so i just kinda... stopped
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 well that explains why he's been dming the gang and i individually to ask if you're ok
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 ur joking
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 nope, if i didn't know any better he genuinely seems worried about you, cora
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 well now i feel bad :(
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 don't, we told him that when you are super stressed, especially when your anxiety keeps going, that you need time to yourself to process. also, you realized that you like louis? that's good, he's a good white boy like me!! (minus bein gay)
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 yeah, it's good but it isn't at the same time :(
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 why do you think that?
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 im scared of my feelings for him man, like?? i've never been in a relationship, ever, and i'm just terrified to date in general. plus, louis is the first person i met while in the UK, right? what if he doesn't like me back? then i just look like a fuckin idiot
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 cora, i would bet my DOG on the fact that louis likes you back i don't know anyone who would go through all the trouble of talking to someones stupid american friends just to check up on you
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 u would really bet laken on louis and i?
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 did i not buy that dog with my own money? i think you should really reach out to louis again, for both of your sakes
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 i might we'll see
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 what about your mom? is everything okay with her?
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 man, whERE DO I START WITH SERENA? she's always gone on the weekends, aka her only days off and i just :/ i miss my mom, nico
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 have you talked to your mom about this?
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 no :(
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 why not? not judging btw
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 i don't know :/ she won't understand it
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 oh serena, why u gotta do this i'm so sorry, cora is there anything i can do?
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 no it's okay, i'll just figure out how to talk to her thank you for listening, nico, i really needed it
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 anything for you my dear, corazon <3 i'm always here for you, even if i seem like a dick, you're my fav bitch
𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 awe nico, i love you!
𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 i love you too baby grill

author's note.
i didn't fall off the earth lol what? also time jump? whoops?
i like this chapter a lot because it shows how highkey self-destructive cora is when it comes to the good things in her life. yeah, this is a story about louis partridge falling for a kooky girl who write songs and is just THAT person, but it's so much more than that. cora is more than a love interest, she's her own character.
let me know your thoughts <3
