hailey: hey

ethan: hiii

ethan: is everything okay?

hailey: what? yeah?? why?

ethan: oh

ethan: i just thought

ethan: since you texted me first that maybe
something was wrong

hailey is typing...

hailey: ...

hailey: damn

hailey: i'm sorry.

ethan: for what?

hailey: for only texting you first when i need
something, to the point that it's all you expect
me to be texting you for

ethan: well why would i expect you to be
texting me for fun?

ethan: i'm the one that hurt you remember?

hailey: i mean... yeah

hailey: but i don't know

hailey: i feel bad anyway

ethan: hailey you're the only person i know
that would actually feel bad for not texting
the guy that broke your heart first

ethan: even though i've been the one forcing
you to talk when you didn't feel like talking

hailey: blah

hailey: let's not talk about all that right now

hailey: i don't want this to be ruined by my
overthinking

ethan: right

ethan: what's up then?

hailey: right, well

hailey: you remember my aunt sally? the cool
aunt who has a prosthetic leg and scared you
with it when you guys met?

ethan: she didn't scare me with it

ethan: she just....

ethan: freaked me the fuck out a little

ethan: anyways yes i do why?

hailey: have i ever told you what she does
for a living?

ethan: no what is it

hailey: she works for the stadium downtown,
honestly i'm not sure exactly what it is she does
but she's some big important exec type person

hailey: and well

hailey: she's the reason why i've been to so
many concerts over the past couple years,
hooking me up with tickets and such

hailey: she was actually visiting the other day
and she was telling me about a concert coming
up... would you happen to know what concert that
is, mr. dolan?

ethan is typing...

ethan: if you're texting me to rub it in my face
that you got cudi tickets i am going to block
your number forever

hailey: well, not quite

hailey: see, i listen to kid cudi and all, and of
course i enjoy his music. but really, you're the
one who introduced me to it.

hailey: so when my aunt came over for a visit
and offered me two tickets to the concert...

hailey: well, i kind of told her no.

ethan: WHY WLULFNYOU DO THAT

ethan: HAILEY

ethan: PUNISH ME NOT YOURSELF
WHAT THE HELL

hailey: yeah, well

hailey: sorry. it didn't feel fair e!

hailey: i just felt like the tickets belonged to
someone who could truly appreciate every
moment of it, you know?

hailey: that's why i was grateful when my aunt
asked me if i had any friends who might be
up for it instead

ethan: wait

ethan: hail...

ethan: what are you saying

hailey: i definitely didn't want such an amazing
opportunity to go to someone who wasn't
going to make the most of it

hailey: sooo i told her i had two people who
might have been interested instead

ethan: you didn't

hailey: my exact words, actually, were
"ethan —you remember ethan? yeah,
him and his brother are huge fans. they
would love to go, auntie."

hailey: and well, she handed me the tickets
right there

ethan: HAILEY

ethan: I'M GOING TO PASS OUT

ethan: I'M GOING TO PUKE

ethan: I'M GOING TO SNAP MY PHONE IN
HALF

ethan: THANK YOU

ethan: I LOCE TOU

ethan: I'M GOING TO RUN AND TELL
GRAYSON SO WE CAN CRY TOGETHER

ethan: HOW CAN I SAY THANK YOU FOR
THIS HAIL

hailey: your reaction is thank you enough. :)
