"Listen, Katie, I'm sorry but you can't treat me this way. You just can't. I deserve more than this I deserve to have my freaking best friend be there for me when I need it. I deserve to be validated and understood and-"

"Hey! Floral underwear! Long time no speak!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHH!!!!!"

"Whoops, sorry."

"No, all good *pant* it's just, I wasn't- wait. It's you again isn't it?"

"Yup! Nobody at your service! Remember me?"

"Yeah, I think so. Ugh can you please get your number disconnected I need somebody to talk to."

"That sounds really ironic. Do you usually talk to dead lines? Wouldn't you rather talk to a real person who can answer you? I mean, you were kind of saying you need somebody to validate you - it just seemed to me-"

"Yeah, obviously I would want to talk to a real person, but nobody's going to listen to me anyway and I have to vent somewhere."

"..."

"I mean, I'm not crazy, it sounds wierder than it is. Like do you ever text yourself?"

"...No?"

"Oh. Well-I do. This is kind of the same thing. I have a disconnected number in my phone with the name of the character in my book and I text her sometimes. Same idea."

"So...what, you're  schizo?"

"Schizophrenic?! No! That's so mean!"

"Why? That's mean!"

"What is?"

"Saying it's mean."

"Why?"

"You're saying it's an insult. That's an insult  for anyone who has it, smartpants." 

"Oh. Sorry."
