Is your mom okay?

Hi! Yeah, why wouldn't she be?

Is your dad okay?

Yeah, I think so

Your brother?

He should be?

August I know what you're thinking

And the cats?

They're fine

[typing...]

So then why the fuck have I not heard from you in a whole week except for a comment on instagram??

I know you're probably mad, and maybe confused and I definitely owe you an apology

Yeah, no, I'm not mad

you're not?

should we really be doing this over texts?

No, I get it. Also, you're not even here so we have no other choice, now, do we?

Great, cuz I barely do.

And I know, that's entirely my fault.

huh?? what the hell does that mean

Look, I really don't know. I just kind of had to go see my mom cuz my brain thought it was a good idea but I can't even rationalise that

Oh, no worries. I've rationalised it

And you're not mad?

I can't be mad at you for running away. We weren't even official, so obviously I can't stop you. I can't blame you either. I'm not mad. Just really disappointed, tbh

I'm really sorry, August. I know it doesn't mean shit but...

lmaoo look it literally doesn't matter anyway. it's probs for the best you know? these kinds of things never work out anyway sooo best not get into in the first place before things got fucked up

Oh

yeah, you're probably right

Hey, at least it was fun, right?

for 30 seconds that it was real lmao

Anyway, I guess I'll see you around

Right yeah

exactly

I'll see you around, August

you know, if you're ever back in new york

yep i deserve that

say hi to your mom for me!
