Are you drunk?
I make the assumption based on her misused word and short answer. And I feel like a dick for it honestly. Who the hell am I to assume and why should I care? Why should she tell me? But when her next message that comes through, I can gather that my assumption was fairly true.

are u old ?
I can tell the liquor is leading, her grammar seemingly drunk as well compared to the messaged from this morning and last night. And I could be offended by what she chooses to say in response, but I'm not. Instead, I just casually entertain her accusation.
10:29pm
I'm 36, Weslyn. I'm not old.
Ok.so ur not so old so why havent u texted me back :(
She's right. Even drunk, she's right. And maybe I shouldn't entertain her while she's not sober, but I also think that maybe texting her might keep her from drinking even more. Not that it's my responsibility. But I've wanted to talk to her all day, oddly enough, and now is my chance.
10:30pm
Hey, I'm texting you now aren't I?
What kind of party are you at?
shits and gigs party lololol
Fuck. I know how reckless a college party can get even if I haven't been to one in over ten years. I sit up in my seat a little, anxious for the state of mind she's in. But do I have a right to be? Should I be concerned? What can I even do for her in this situation? And why does it matter? She's an adult and I'm just a stranger with her phone number.
10:32pm
Are you there with anyone?
I suddenly wonder if she's got a boyfriend or is in a relationship of some type. I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner, but what effect would that have on whatever this is?
It takes a minutes for her to respond, but I watch as the little dots tell me she'sstarting to type again.
10:36pm
did ur wifey find out bout us and thats why youu havent talkd to me ?
Wow. that's a sentence right there. And now I know now that she truly is too wasted and my concern is valid. But I take the time to respond to her anyway.
10:38pm
I'm not married. So no. But is anything there with you at the party, Weslyn?
no im by myselff
So, you're not seeing anyone?
oh I'm seeing plenty of someones. In fact I see like 2 of everyone right now
I chuckle, and part of me yearns to hear how her drunk words would sound if I could hear her voice. But I do recognize that what she says only solidifies that she needs to be monitored slightly. So I ask for clarification, if only so that I know I'm not stepping on toes here.
10:40pm
Are you single, Weslyn?
when you say my name like that it makes me feel like im in trouble
