@rosie_christine: live footage of mair reynold's drunk ass and its only 11pm

https://youtu.be/c9H7wwfrpgI

——

mair listened to the tone ringing out of her iphone and waited.

maybe this is a dumb idea.

okay this is definitely a dumb idea but what if i don't care.

mair argued with herself just as a voice echoed through the phone, " hello? " the voice of a very sleepy ( or perhaps drunken? ben tyler cook ) entered mair's dressing room.

" mair? " rosie entered the dressing room, a concerned expression evident on her face. she quickly spied the cell phone in mair's hand and a million more questions entered her brain.

" oh sorry, are you on the phone? "

" ROSIE IS THAT YOU? " ben's voice screamed out of mair's phone, interrupting rosie " josh josh it's rosie say hi say hi", his sentence quickly followed by what sounded like a phone dropping onto the floor.

" is that... ben? " a very confused rosie asked her best friend after a beat.

mair looked up at the brunette, her vision slightly blurred, " yes ok. I called him because i have a very important question for him right now."

" it's very important," she added after spying her best friend's disapproving face.

" hi rosie," the voice of a very embarrassed and definitely sober josh burrage shouted over the sound of ben's giggles.

" hi josh, " rosie felt her cheeks turning pink but then shook her head in attempt to make it stop.

" so.. mair," ben's suddenly even more flirtatious sounding voice returned, " what did you need to ask me about? "

" OKAY, " mair clapped her hands together, startling not only rosie, but josh and ben on the other end of the phone.

" benjamin, " mair stared at the rose gold phone in her hand intently and rosie bit back a laugh, " i have a bone to pick with you. "

ben gasped loudly, " whaaatt? what have i ever could have done, miss reynolds? "

rosie thought she might have heard josh snort on the other end, but she wasn't entirely sure.

" i'm talking about how you unfollowed me on all of my social medias, silly, " mair said, her voice even in her drunken state trying to hide emotion. rosie couldn't help but smile a little despite how worried she was; mair only ever used the word "silly" when she was drunk off her ass.

" oh that, " ben said, his voice noticeably quieter and less confident.

" i followed you back," he said finally, trying to distract mair from the question she had just asked him.

" nooooo, " mair laughed a little as she scolded ben, " i asked why. "

" something happened, " ben's voice was the clearest it had been the whole evening. rosie felt her stomach drop between her knees; and she knew in whatever city in whatever hotel room they were in, josh's did as well.

to prove rosie's thought, josh attempted to intervene, " it doesn't really matter mair, really. It wasn't a big deal. "

" NO, " mair's voice came out louder than she meant it to, " tell me what happened ben. "

" okay, " ben's voice came out as a squeak, " i tried to tell you but then jared responded and he said i had to leave you alone or he would fucking kill me. "

" he what? " all of the colored drained from mair's face.

"  butitsnotreallyabigdealralliswearitwasmyfaultanyways, " ben spit out, his voice getting even higher.

" i'm sorry ben, so so sorry, " mair answered, her voice deathly quiet as her hand shook like crazy, " but i have to go. " she hung up the phone.

fansies_onceandforall: ok hey this may be a stretch but y'all need to hear me out on this one.. now stick with me because this one is a whirlwind. now ik she's brand new in the cast, but i'm 99.9% sure bailey used to date the one and only joshua burrage. lemme pull out these receipts real quick because you guys are probably all like "wtf sarah you're insane where did this theory come from", and trust me i didn't believe it at first but it makes so much sense. #1. his goddamn comment on her instagram.. "welcome aboard ;)" hE DID A FREAKING WINKY FACE THAT IS JUST SUSPICIOUS IN ITS OWN WAY. like who the hell would wink after welcoming someone. #2.. ok also they went to school together and were in the same goddamn class.. i feel creepy for knowing this shit, but its not hard information to find. once again this is a stretch but believe me something is up between them. ok lemme know you guys' theories because i cant be the only one who sees this shit

    some1tobelievein: GIRL NANCY DREW WHO!!?? YOURE A FUCKING DETECTIVE

    thenewsiesofnewyork: this is low key/high key a stretch lol but believe as you will

new direct message from rosie o'neil!

rosie o'neil:

we need to discuss last night because what the heck happened on that phone call????

joshua burrage:

i was thinking the exact same thing.

rosie o'neil:

i'm very glad we're on the same page here.

ok but mair was so drunk i doubt she remembers any of it.

joshua burrage:
same here like ben was hammered.

rosie o'neil:

so what's our plan here then?? we gonna ask them what happened or not at all and just ignore the whole situation?

joshua burrage:

i think first things first we have to see if they say anything about it and if they do we tell them everything, but if they dont, we let it fly and nothing ever happened

rosie o'neil:

sounds like a plan, burrage ;)

so i'll hit you up if anything happens and you do the same??

joshua burrage:

yep!

rosie o'neil:

sounds like a plan!! i'll be hoping for no notification about this specific situation, but i'm down to hear from you again :)

josh was typing out a response to rosie's direct message when he was interrupted by the sound of knocking.

"hey josh.." bailey's voice filled the empty ensemble dressing room. "i thought i'd come talk to you about something while the rest of the cast was at lunch.."

josh looked up from his phone, noticing the off tone of bailey's voice in an instant, "if you're talking about things being awkward between us, i'm honestly trying super hard to be nonchalant, and i think it's working" he said with a shrug.

"i would've said you were doing a good job as well, but, i was looking on tumblr, because i just want to start off well with the fansies, and i came across this." bailey handed josh her phone, and a tumblr post about a conspiracy theory that they had dated came up, which was one hundred percent accurate.

"props to the fan for figuring this out." josh murmured in pure amusement.

"josh! now is not the time to praise fans for snooping, this is kind of an important matter."

"bailey, you're overreacting.. why does it matter if we've dated before??" josh questioned with a confused look on his face.

"because!! it just.." bailey groaned,shaking her head slightly, " you know how crazy the fans can be.."

" i mean i know, but it is just one fan."

josh stood up from the chair he was seated in and looked at bailey, attempting to read her emotions. " are you mad we dated or something?? because we could just deny it.. it was high school, and we all know how irrelevant high school is once you're out of it."

" no! " bailey responded quickly, slightly starling josh.

" i, just, i want-us-to--pretend-we're-together-again " she muttered the last part quickly before tucking a hair behind her ear.

"we need to what?" josh said loudly, cutting her off. his thoughts were racing at a mile a minute, but one thought was constant. rosie. another, probably more reasonable thought interrupted this worry : why was he worried about a girl he didn't even know's reaction to him fake - dating his ex girlfriend?

" fake date, joshua. i mean think about it - celebrities fake dating their co stars is a pretty popular occurrence. and it could get us even more props with the fans.. " bailey explained with the passion of a college professor.

"ok i get the concept, but why are we doing it in the first place?"

"to get back at my bitch of an ex-girlfriend." bailey answered nonchalantly, with a tinge of anger in her voice.

"w-wait.. you're gay??"

"bisexual actually, joshie." bailey said, rolling her eyes playfully  "its not 1944, now is it?"

josh laughed, " no, but i just never knew i guess. "

"obviously," she jokingly scoffed at him. " but are you in? "

"why me though? there's like a million guys in this show that would date you for real in an instant." josh thought about all the buzz that happened when bailey was announced as the newest cast member.

"first of all, we had actual chemistry back in the day.. second of all, you're way cuter and more talented than her so it'll shake her to her core to know i'm back with you." bailey laughed slightly and punched josh's arm, "so, you up for it?"

josh paused for a moment " i don't see why not. "

"yes, joshie!" bailey grinned and engulfed josh in a hug "you're the best! see ya later, boyfriend! " she winked as she turned on her heel, exiting the dressing room, leaving josh standing staring the door, trying to decipher what he just got into.
