Alison
Justine! Are you up?
Justine
Just me and an episode of Law and Order. What’s up?
Alison
I went to go see a movie with Curt.
Alison
He dropped me off then I texted him to come back because I wanted to make out with him.
Alison
Then Trey texted me saying he wanted to talk to me about something important in person.
Alison
And now they’re both standing in front of my building.
Alison
I’m peeking out my window right now, they’re literally standing right next to each other looking at their phones!
Justine
You could reach out your window and pour iced tea all over them.
Justine
Grrl, I don’t know what to tell you.
Justine
But this is definitely go time. You’ve got to make a decision.
Justine
I’ll say this: if you really care about this Trey guy, you can’t avoid him anymore.
Justine
You’ve got to meet him face to face.
Justine
Let me know how it goes.
Alison
Hi, Curt. I’m so sorry. But can we do this another time?
Curt
Uh oh! What happened?
Alison
Remember that friend I have in town?
Curt
Oh, I see. Is it serious? Anything I can help with?
Alison
No, thank you. That’s sweet of you to offer.
Alison
But she’s in kind of a tough spot right now and she needs me.
Curt
I get it. No problem. I reserve the right to ask you out again, tho.
Alison
I have to go now. You have a good night.
Alison
Yeah. I’ll buzz you in right now.
Alison
I did it. I broke up with Trey.
Justine
Sorry, grrl. Was it rough?
Alison
Pretty rough. There were a lot of tears.
Justine
Was he going to propose?
Alison
No, actually. You were wrong on that one.
Alison
He was getting up to straighten his pants.
Alison
And he was fiddling with lip balm in his pocket because he was nervous.
Justine
I wasted my iced tea!
Alison
He actually came out because he wanted to see once and for all if we could make this long distance thing work.
Alison
And he figured that if we were going to break it off, he wanted it to be face to face.
Justine
Wow. Pretty honorable dude.
Alison
He is. Believe me, it made me wonder if I was making the right decision.
Justine
Hey, if you want to move back to Podunk, Minnesota – or wherever you came from – and reconnect with him later...
Justine
maybe you can. But you’re out here now.
Justine
Time to get on with your life.
Alison
I know. That’s what I’m doing.
Justine
What about sexy hot band guy?
Alison
We’re kind of going crazy for each other!
Alison
Speaking of, you want to go to his show Saturday?
Alison
I’m working as his merch girl. Selling T-shirts and stuff.
Justine
Anyone else in the band single?
Alison
Yes! He said his drummer is single and thought you were cute.
Justine
Bleh! Why does it have to be the drummer?!
Alison
He also said his family comes from money.
Justine
Interesting...I'll think about it. :)
