Adley:
The concert is in t w o w e e k e s

Adley:
I'm excited as hell

Adley:
And scared as hell

Michael:
I'm scared too tbh

Michael:
You already got the t-shirt?

Adley:
You'll find out at the concert

Michael:
I'll be disappointed if I can't find you in the crowd

Adley:
Don't set your hopes up too high

Michael:
Too late

Michael:
Are you good at playing guitar?

Adley:
Random

Adley:
I think I'm decent, the basic chords work out just fine and barre chords are kinda hard but I can play them too

Michael:
Okay, good

Adley:
Okaaay??

Michael:
Don't ask any questions

Adley:
You confuse me

Michael:
Sooner or later you'll understand

Michael:
So... how's Aiden?

Adley:
He's home, he's fine, he started working again, it's great

Michael:
And how are you?

Adley:
Not that good tbh

Michael:
What's wrong?

Adley:
Dealing with anxiety was pretty hard the last few days

Michael:
I know that feeling

Michael:
I'm always here for you if you wanna talk about something, I just want you to know that

Adley:
Thanks.
It's just that... I don't even know what's wrong

Adley:
It just feels like something is wrong and I need to change something and I had lots of panic attacks lately in like every situation that's just a bit uncomfortable

Adley:
Like for example I was just sitting next to someone in the bus and he kept moving around and touching me by accident and it freaked me out until I got a panic attack. Like it's a situation everyone will be fine with except me, it's ridiculous.

Michael:
It's not ridiculous. It's actually really understandable.

Michael:
That you don't want to be frequently touched by a random stranger isn't weird.

Adley:
Yeah I know, but that it made me have a panic attack is weird

Michael:
I don't think so, I experienced lots of panic attacks caused by really weird things myself so... I don't know

Adley:
Maybe you're right... but it's just really hard, you know?

Michael:
I know

Adley:
Like everything is so out of control

Adley:
Like nothing is worth anything... nothing is important anymore

Michael:
You are important to me.

Adley:
You are important to me too, Mikey

Adley:
I need to get back to work now

Michael:
Have a nice day
