TWENTY — ( SHE DOESN'T LIKE ME ! )

iMESSAGES between
TOM and LIZZIE

tom
i know this isn't really my place to ask this to you and i should really be asking olivia but i'm gonna ask you first
what happened with her and ryan? is he why she's so closed off when it comes to like relationships and stuff and talking about them

lizzie
she would kill me if she found out i'm telling you things so you got to promise that if i do tell you stuff, your gonna keep your mouth shut about it okay?
i'm only doing this because i know she won't tell you till something happens between you two and at this point i don't know long how that will take

tom
yeah yeah i'll keep my mouth shut
can i ask you a question first, before you tell me anything

lizzie
yeah go ahead

tom
he didn't hit her did he?

lizzie
what?! god no
ryan was a dick but he would never lay a finger on her

tom
oh okay good
i just got the idea he did...never mind
okay, what actually happened

lizzie
personally, i never liked the guy
none of us did really, he made her happy which is what we all wanted but he didn't make her happy happy if you know what i mean then when he proposed to her, it was weird. i mean yeah they were in love and they had been together long enough but it just didn't feel right. that's probably what ruined it all. he started becoming more controlling and i knew olivia hated it but she was way too scared to ever say anything. it was like emotional abuse. and it really effected her and she loved him so much that she didn't break up with him, she let him manipulate her, control her because she was too blinded by love. i don't think for a second that ryan didn't love her back but it was toxic.
i want you to get her to tell you what happened from her point of view because i'm sure there's so much more she can tell you, personal things that she'd probably want you to know but that's like the very shortened down version of what happened. 

tom
what a jerk
poor liv, i can't imagine what that must feel like
she deserves so much better than that

lizzie
you really do like her don't you

tom
what..what do you mean

lizzie
you know exactly what i'm talking about tom
come on, it's so obvious

tom
seriously i don't know what you're talking about

lizzie
she likes you too, you don't need to hide it

tom
she doesn't like me too

lizzie
well she does but you just admitted to liking her so that's good enough for me

tom
ugh please don't screenshot that

lizzie
oops too late
it's already on it's way to chris 

tom
of course it is

iMESSAGES between
TOM and OLIVIA

tom😌
so uh lizzie just said something to me
and i was just going to ignore it
but i literally can't stop thinking about it
and if its true

olivia💗
god, what did she tell you?

tom😌
she said that you liked me?

olivia💗
of course she did

tom😌
oh
so it's not true?

olivia💗
well
no
i don't know
it's confusing

tom😌
haha that's what i thought
can't believe anything lizzie says right

olivia💗
i mean, you're not wrong but it's not like that tom
it's confusing
i don't want you thinking that is you! or that i don't because it's not that
i don't know how to explain it

tom😌
it's fine olivia!
really
i didn't expect you to say it was
not really
don't worry about it

olivia💗
oh tom
please don't say that

tom😌
seriously, it's fine
it was just me overthinking and wanting to know if it was true
i really like you so i guess it was just me hoping it was true
but of course, i shouldn't just expect that
uh i really just sent that....didn't i
you know what, forget about it
i'll speak to you later

olivia💗
no!
please don't go
i don't want you thinking that please
fuck
okay
look, tom, i really like you, i do
i'm just not in the right headspace for something
i'm still trying to get over what ryan did to me
how he made me feel
i just didn't say anything to you because i didn't want to give you hope that i'd be ready for a relationship or whatever
but i do like you, i really do
you're an amazing person, okay

tom😌
really? you like me?

olivia💗
of course!
how could i not
but you understand what i mean, right
i cant do this right now

tom😌
no, no i completely get it
you're not ready and i respect that

olivia💗
i'm sorry tom
i really am
this is why i didn't tell you
i didn't want to upset you
and now i have

tom😌
you haven't upset me, liv!
you just told me you liked me too, i couldn't be happier right now
and i want you to know that i'll wait, till you're ready

olivia💗
you can't do that
that's not fair on you

tom😌
i can
and i will

olivia💗
you're an angel
you truly are
