Hey Arden!

TPose
First time you've started a group chat 😂

Charlie
Hi

Jake
Who's this???? 😟

Billy
WHOMST

Spray
Uh

Arden
We need to talk.
This is my childhood best friend, Charlotte. But, you can call her Charlie.
This is an emergency

Liz
Where's Amethyst?

ScarJo
Yeah.
She's the only one missing

Paul B
Is she okay?

Charlie
She's..
She's upset, right now

Khylin
Why?

Bradley
WHAT DID YOU DO TO AMETHYST CHARLIE???

Khylin
SQUAD UP

Mason
What happened?

Grant
FIGHT ME

Jake
HA
Good luck, Charlie

Bradley
Did you just 😂😂

Arden
GUYS.
CUT IT OUT.
CHARLIE IS AMETHYST'S REAL OLDER SISTER

Dyldo
WAIT WHAT

Holland
WAIT SINCE WHEN

TPose
She has an older sister?!
UM

Colton
I'm so confused

Jake
I THOUGHT YOU WERE AMETHYST'S ONLY BIG SISTER I'M

Charlie
It's a long story

Candice
What happened?
Isn't Amethyst adopted though? Or...

Arden
Yeah.
Charlie and I told Amethyst everything..
Well.. Charlie is actually her half sister.

Karan
So, Amethyst has two dads?

Arden
Well.. Kinda.
Her real dad was never seen or heard from ever again

Shelley
So..
You mean..

Charlie
My mother was sexually assaulted at eighteen by a man.
She was walking home from work, and then she was dragged into an alleyway

Chad
Oh my god.

Spray
I'M

Billy
Jesus

Kyle
Oh my god...

Raven
So...

Arden
Yes. Charlie and I lied to Amethyst.
We were just protecting her, you know?
We wanted her to grow up with a happy family.

Raven
But she grew up with lies..

Tom
She told me that her parents were really young, and that her grandparents couldn't afford to take care of her.
So, they gave Arden a sister. Mrs. Cho and Mrs..

Charlie
Reyes

Tom
Thank you.
Mrs. Cho and Mrs. Reyes are friends, and yeah, you know where I'm going with this

Liz
Poor baby 😭

RDJ
How is she?

Seb
You better keep an eye on her before she does something

Chris Evans
Lord knows what she'll do

Mackie
So, let me get this straight..
Mrs. Reyes didn't want Amethyst?
So she gave her to Mrs. Cho instead?

Arden
Yes

Charlie
My mom wanted to either abort her, or give her up for adoption.
When Amethyst was born though, my mom didn't want to get rid of her. But, she had no choice.
Arden wanted a little sister, so she just gave Amethyst away to the Cho family

Rudd
That's.. :(
Amethyst was basically a mistake then

Arden
Yes.
In all honesty, I was mad when I found out about Mrs. Reyes wanting to abort Amethyst or give her up for adoption.
But, I later understood where she was coming from.

Kelli
If Mrs. Reyes did that, then Amethyst wouldn't be here...

Carlos
I am very very sad right now

Tom
I've texted and called her loads of times.
She isn't answering me ☹️

Cody Christian
Arden, you need to look after her.
God knows what she'll do

Arden
I'm on my way upstairs right now, with Charlie

Gage
I'm so concerned.
We can't lose her

Tom
I can't lose her! She's my everything. My whole world.
If something happens to her, lord knows what I'll do.

Charlie
She locked her room.
She's still crying 😔

Danielle
😭😭😭

RDJ
We are all coming over tomorrow

TPose
We can't.
We have filming to do 😔

Arden
And plus..
Amethyst is scheduled for a photoshoot tomorrow as well

Kyle
You should cancel that.
Let her rest

Emery
I agree

Harrison
Yeah

Arden
Yeah. I'll call her manager tomorrow.
I..
I feel so damn guilty, guys.
I kept this all from her.

Charlie
It's my fault. I'm the one who's guilty.
I ruined her happiness.
If I hadn't show up, none of this would've happened.

Hemsworth
But, she had to find out sooner or later.
The more you hide it from her, the more worse it gets.
You had to tell her somehow.

RDJ
Yes. I agree.
We'll visit this weekend. Friday night.
How's that?

Arden
Sounds great.
Thank you so much

Liam
Where's Charlie staying at?

Charlie
I rented an apartment in LA. But, Arden insists on me staying the night.

Arden
I'll pick your stuff up later.
You can move in with us, in the guest room

Charlie
Are you sure?
I mean..
Amethyst...

Rudd
Look.. As much as we love her..
She needs to respect you. You're her older sister.
I know she's angry with you, but at the right time.. She'll forgive you.
You just have to wait for it.

Paul B
Wow.
That's the first time you used wise words.

Rudd
Oh hush

Charlie
You're right.. Well..
I'll give it a shot.
I'll call a cab tomorrow, and I'll pick up my stuff from the apartment.
I'm gonna have to pay for the rent though

Grant
How about I'll pick you up?
I don't want you to spend your money on the useless cab :)
