tw: very vauge mentions of self harm

a/n: just call me lawyer cad after writing this chapter because I literally sat at my desk for two hours researching Laws Prohibiting Voluntary Disclosure of Information Without Patient Consent 😃👍

ALSO, ollie canon facts are at the end so stay tuned for that! <3

"Alex..." my voice wavered,

"yeah...?" he changed his tone.

"sh*t im so scared to trust you" I bite my nails,

"what are you talking about?" he says bewilderedly,

"I have major information and I can't trust anyone because you're not supposed to trust anyone and trusting people is bad and I don't even know why I called you—"

"woah slow down, you can trust me, I promise" Alex states.

"promises do no justice" I crossed my arms.

"what is this even about, are you in trouble?"

"NO I JUST CAN'T THINK OF ANYBODY ELSE TO TELL" I whisper yell.

"well just tell me, and then we go from there" he said simply,

"that's not how my brain works" I sigh,

"then tell me how your brain works"

"it's not that easy—"

"how can you trust me then?"

"I DON'T KNOW ALEX" I panic,

"ok—do you want me to sign a contract or something? I have a piece of paper right in front of me—" he says sarcastically before I cut him off,

"NO I DON'T NEED YOU TO SIGN A CONTRACT DUMBASS"

"WHY ARE YOU FREAKING OUT"

"I DON'T KNOW, I THINK I DON'T KNOW—I MIGHT KNOW—I DON'T KNOW" I groan in frustration,

"you're so difficult" Alex sighs,

"thanks for reminding me" I pace my room, "ALEX WHAT DO I DO?" I stress,

"I DON'T KNOW MAYBE IF YOU TOLD ME I'D BE ABLE TO HELP" he said in the same tone.

"BUT I HATE TRUSTING PEOPLE!" I burst, "WHAT IF YOU DECIDED TO GO AND TELL LITERALLY EVERYBODY ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET"

"it's raining" he said blankly.

"WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING"

"I wouldn't be able to go outside to tell everyone on the side of the street, since it's raining" he explained,

"oh my god" I fall onto my bed,

"IM JUST TRYING TO HELP"

"WELL YOU' RE NOT HELPING" I say through the phone, "FINE, if I tell you—you won't tell anybody else?" I ask,

"if you murdered someone I would help you hide the body—did you murder someone?" he quizzes,

"I DIDN'T MURDER—anyone" I lower my voice,

"ok just checking, please tell me now" Alex pouts.

"ok here we go—" I sigh before continuing, "I may have drugged Ollie because she hadn't slept in five days and she might be knocked out for the next 24 hours and Tommy came to America without telling a soul and ollie possibly maybe wants to hurt herself and im really scared because I have no idea what to do also did I mention her parents were found dead, and she's been keeping in all her emotions for months so now I have every single one of my textbooks open to legal confidentiality to see if I really have to say something about it to authorities." I said in one deep breathe.
