Bold = Faye
Italics = Tom

Sorry, is it late in Australia?

Yes, but I was up
anyway. What's up
Spidey?

I just...need to talk
about something.
But if you're having
a sleeping problem we
could talk about what's
keeping you up?

No, it's okay. What's
up, little bro?

I think I like someone,
but I really just don't
know what to do.

Do you want to tell
me who it is?

Not really {laughs}

It's okay, I can take
a guess anyway. What
do you want to do?

Well, obviously, you
know me! I can't keep
a secret for anything.

{laughs} this is true,
yes. Well, why don't
you just tell her? What's
the worst that could
happen?

I feel like you're giving
me the same awful advice
that your friends gave
you with Chris.

That's exactly what
I'm doing, and look
where Chris and I
are {yawns}

You and Chris are a
one in a thousand type
of thing {sighs}

Not true. When I
started to like Chris
I thought 'No way,
not happening. Faye,
you're ridiculous'. The
only reason I didn't go
for it sooner was because
I didn't wanna mess
up your working relationships
if it didn't work out.

That's exactly it though,
at least you didn't work
there. I actually work
with her, it would ruin
so much.

Aha! So it is who
I think it is.

{groans} Stop. Don't
be all cocky about it.

I really don't know
how or why I'm always
right.

You're fucking
annoying {laughs}

You love me {clears
throat} Chris is snoring,
so I'm on a balcony and
this whole setting feels
like a scene from a movie.

Thanks for the scenery
description. Now, tell me
what to do. How do I know
if a girl likes me?

She's a woman, not
a girl. But, uh, I guess
there aren't really any
obvious signs. You're
not in year eight, after
all. {laughs} You should
just ask her to dinner,
if she asks what she
should wear just tell
her that she looks
gorgeous in everything.

{sighs} and if she rejects me?

I have a feeling she
won't {smiles}

I'm not risking the whole
friendship and working
relationship over your
{mockingly} "feeling".

{laughs} Have I ever
been wrong?

...Probably at some point.

Were you ever there
to experience it?

...No.

There you go {laughs}

Okay, well, thanks for
talking to me.

You're very welcome,
little brother.

What are you doing up?

I'm not up to talking
about it, thanks for the
offer though.

You never talk about
anything, Faye.

That's because I'm
the older sister and
older sisters are the
therapists of the family.

Although it's true, even
therapists need someone
to talk to sometimes.
Especially ones that
were a part of an accident.

{sighs} I'm just not
getting any better,
Tommy. Nothing's
getting any better
or any easier. And
it's just- wait, you
tricked me.

{laughs dryly} I did, but
you can still talk to me.
I've said it before, you're
my best-friend and I don't
know what I'd do without
you, and I definitely don't
want you going through
stuff on your own.

{sniffles} I'm fine,
Tommy. It's okay. I'm
gonna get some sleep,
{croakily} goodnight.

Faye, I know you're not fine.
Just talk to me, please.

I love you, good luck
with zendaya,goodnight.
