Teddy:Aw baby?

Ellie:?

Teddy:Seriously what’s going on?

Ellie:What do you mean

Teddy:You’ve been acting weird for the past week. I barely hear from you and when I do, you’re just…short. It’s like you don’t want to talk to me anymore.?

Ellie:Since you declined my affection after winning the second round in the playoffs?

Teddy:I apologized for that…I thought you said everything was fine

Ellie:Everything isn’t fine

Ellie:But it’s whatever

Ellie:I would never expect you to understand

Teddy:Baby I’m SORRY!

Ellie:I heard you

Teddy:Wow

Teddy:Are you serious right now?

Ellie:lol wow indeed

Teddy:What is your problem??

Ellie:My PROBLEM? You’re my fucking problem THEODORE! You have no idea how much that hurt me. And you think a simple fucking apology over text is going to make everything better?

Teddy:Well you certainly never gave me any apology.

Teddy:I was hurt too you know

Ellie:Oh my bad. Did you get your tiny little male ego hurt just by seeing me stand beside someone else? You poor thing. I watch women fawn over you every. Fucking. Day. And I never say anything. Because for some stupid reason I actually believed you cared about me

Teddy:believed? Don’t you dare act like I don’t care about you.

Ellie:I’m not acting

Teddy:Jesus I’m just a human! I’m not fucking perfect okay! I messed up and overreacted in a situation because I MISSED YOU!

Teddy:YOU are the reason we have to keep this a secret NOT ME!

Teddy:I’ll tell the whole world that I’m yours right this second but you don’t want that do you? I’m starting to believe you’re never going to have the balls to speak up to your brothers

Ellie:We agreed to wait until after the playoffs

Teddy:Yeah well maybe I don’t want to wait anymore. Maybe I want to be able to hug my fucking girlfriend in the light of day. I’m fucking sick of hiding it.

Ellie:Then go find a girl who you can hug during the light of day then

Teddy:Stop

Ellie:No! If that’s so fucking important to you then do it! You knew the stipulations when we agreed to be together. If that’s too much all of a sudden, then fucking find someone else
