Brooke: And tattoos of knives
Bella: You deserve someone stable
Brooke: Someone age appropriate
Bella: Someone who doesn’t literally chew on toothpicks and look like he’s considering violence every time he blinks
Brooke: He’s scary hot but still scary
Bella: Exactly
Brooke: What if he’s using you
Bella: Or just bored
Brooke: Or trying to prove something
Bella: Or he’s trying to sleep with you just because you’re the first girl who smiles at him
Brooke: Or because you’re convenient
Okay. Now they’ve done it.
Anger hits fast and hot.
Me: I’m not convenient.
Bella: Bri we didn’t mean it like that
Brooke: We love you and don’t want you hurt
Bella: He’s a bad idea
Brooke: A sexy bad idea but still bad
Me: You haven’t even asked how I feel
Silence. For a whole four seconds.
Bella: Fine. How do you feel
Brooke: About the sexy bad idea
Me: I feel good. I feel happy. Please stop.
Bella: I just don’t want you to cry again
Brooke: Same
Bella: But for real if he hurts you I’m keying his bike
Brooke: And his truck
Bella: And maybe his face
Brooke: But like only one punch because prison sounds miserable
They mean well. They really do but it doesn’t make it hurt any less.
