Lyric exhales
beginning to pace.
I move closer to her
hoping she’ll remember
to breathe.
My mind is trying to catch up
with everything happening.
Lyric—
I try, grabbing her elbow softly.
I just need a minute,
she says, pulling away.
Sorry. I just overheard Jamison
talking shit about me and
I know I’m not perfect.
But he doesn’t need to drag our stuff
into thisyou know?
Lyric gestures between
the two of us then.
Our… friendship?
I try.
Yeah, that and our deal—
Lyric continues.
I mean he knows this isn’t just
about followers or clicks.
He knows I have to work for
everything I have.
I don’t ghost people
or quit.
I just don’t always have capacity
for it all.
