told Jay about going back to college

Amie

and?

Katy

He flipped. I’ve never seen him like that before. He was so mad when I said I tried to help him.

Amie

Fuck him.

I think I get it though. If it were me I’d probably feel exploited. Used.

Katy

You know I’d never do that.

Amie

I know that. And he prob does too.

But he’s also hurting in a lot of ways.

He has a lot of emotions he hasn’t processed yet. You said that yourself, K. Isn’t that part of what inspired you in the first place?

Katy

you’re right

Amie

of course I’m right.

Do you need me to come over? Mum’s working tonight but I can bring Mouse, she’s half asleep already

Katy

I think I’ll be okay. Having a bath with wine

Amie

bathing in wine? A fucking dream.

Katy

you’re dumb and I love you

Amie

love you too, bitch xo

Chapter twenty-two

Jay
