"Hey."

"Good morning, M'Lady."

"Where are you?"

"Currently waking up in a bus station and realizing I fell asleep on a bench."

"...Really?!"

"No! Of course not!"

"You have to stop doing that. You know I'm gullible."

"Yes I do, MDCL"

"Can I bring something up?"

"Oh, god. Sure."

"That was contradictory."

"Yes. The saint and satan in me."

"Oh, I see... so you believe in all of that?"

"Dude, its nine in the morning, don't you think its too early to go into that stuff now?"

"But me bringing something up is fine?"

"Yes. Okay, I'm curious. What is it? Remember your pride..."

"Ugh, same to you. So...earlier, you said...something."

"This surfer dude can't remember all of the something's he's said. Was it the bad kind of something or the good kind?" 

"I- it was-e- oh I don't know! You said you-..."

"..."

"You said. That you have feelings for me."

"-*snort* *laughter* Feelings?! Were you lying this whole time and you're really a seventy six year old woman who seriously uses that expression?"

"Oh my god."

"Seriously."

"You're such an idiot."

"An idiot who has - ahem - said he has feelings for you."

"Yes! Shut up! How was I meant to bring it up?"

"I said I love you."

"Yeah. Yeah, you did. And you're going to regret saying that."

"Shelly..."

"Jason, why? I had a dumb crush on you, okay? I had a crush on this cute voice coming out of my phone like serendipity who said all of the right things. Why did you have to go and ruin it?"

"Shelly, dude, what are you talking about?"

"Why? Why did you have to ruin it? Why do you like me? Why? Because I swear, Jason, that I'm dangerous. Everyone felt it. Everyone who ever had a taste of me went running."

"By a taste, do you mean..."

"Shut up, Jay, I'm being serious!"

"I know. I'm sorry. Continue."

"I wasn't saying anything! It's just not fair. It's not fair because you're going to like me and then one day you're going to get to know the real me and you're going to run for it and it's not fair that I like you back and it's going to break me. I'm already broken! Jason nobody knows how broken I am, but then they come a little closer, and get a hint of who I really am behind the mask and they leave in the the freaking dark again and I don't want that with you!"

"...Are you crying?"

"No!!"

"You are."

"*Sniffle* Shut up."

"Is that it? Is it the only problem? Because I'm actually not joking."

"About what? Because you made a lot of jokes lately."

"I'm not joking that I'm in a bus station. I'm on my way to see you."

"..."

"Oh, crap. The bus is here, I'm going to call you back-"

"...Jason?"
