brie : christopher
brie : we have a problem

chris : jesus what is it this time — i love you brie, but u have a lot of problems.

brie : it's about emerson

chris : nevermind, forget my last text and continue

brie : well ... you know how we've like 'broken up' and like ,, umm 'moved on' and all that crap — well yeah, it's crap... well for me, not for her. i never really got to that um moving on stage and now it's messy

chris : fuck brie , u two are a train wreck

brie : wow chris thanks for the boost of confidence
brie : but SERIOUSLY i need help — she's moved on and happy and i don't want to interfere but also we're gonna be working together in really close proximity and she has REALLY nice lips

chris : BRIE ! STOP !

brie : I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW ! don't worry , aliana's already told me to move on and that emerson's not interested so im not gonna try and go for it or anything — i know she's happy

chris : wait — aliana told u that

brie : yeah, why ?

chris : nothing , whatever . but yeah , continue

brie : it BULL ,, i need to move on fast but it's just like ,, how ? how can anyone move on from emerson , it's emerson !

chris : take a deep breath
chris : look — ofc it's gonna be shitty and messy and hard , it always is when working with ex's, but you've just got to keep your distance. and it sucks bc your still into her, but it's the only way to move on. it's not healthy to be hung up on someone for too long, and i don't wanna see u become some crazy stalker ex-girlfriend . just move on , i can set u up with someone when you feel ready , just , try and process and keep your distance.

brie : yeah ... yeah you're right.

PRIVATE MESSAGE

chris : OKAY , first of all what the FUCK is going on
chris : brie just told me that u told her that emerson isn't interested any more
chris : and i know for a fucking FACT that she is bc she told me

chris : and how the HELL do you know that ?

aliana : look — i just know ! emerson deserves better !

chris : better friends ? yeah

aliana : jeez, chris — back down . i did what i thought was best for her

chris : you don't make the decision for her ! you're her friend , not her god ! you support and love her and don't tell girls she's till hung up on to back off !

aliana : well there's not a lot we can do now
