Brook🪔
i was just in an
elevator with harry

Brook🪔
and now i'm going
into cardiac arrest

Brook🪔
(not literally)

Jackie🍆
You're not going into
cardiac arrest. What
happened? Are you okay?

Brook🪔
honestly? i'm fine. it
was awkward but it
felt normal?  for lack
of a better word

Jackie🍆
Well, I'm not surprised

Brook🪔
why?

Jackie🍆
You guys spent almost
literally all of your time
together for a whole three
weeks, on top of talking
to each other basically
everyday for months. That
sort of connection doesn't
just disappear when you
stop talking to each other

Brook🪔
i want to be
mad at him

Jackie🍆
But you're not mad

Brook🪔
no. i'm just sad.
and ashamed

Brook🪔
can you be sad
with someone?
instead of mad

Jackie🍆
Of course. If it's something
that you're feeling then
it's obviously possible

Brook🪔
i guess

Brook🪔
it's weird though,
right? to not spend
any time at all with
someone, to not even
want to talk to them
for months and to
have them make
you feel familiarity

Jackie🍆
Sure, it's weird. But it
also goes to show how
much of a connection
you guys had

Jackie🍆
Don't get me wrong, I
was mad at him for a
while. I hated that he
wasn't there for you,
but neither was I or
Kellin or Booker. I
wasn't just mad at him,
I was mad at all of us.
It's the same for Kellin
and Booker, even if they
don't know it. They're
excessively mad at
Harrison because they're
also mad at themselves.

Brook🪔
but i didn't call any of
you guys. which i should
have, you guys would
have answered

Jackie🍆
Well, sure. But that's
not the point. The point
is that nobody knew
what was going on, and
if Harrison knew, I'm
almost certain he would
have answered

Brook🪔
i know that. i don't know
why i'm feeling so...weird.
i guess it's because he
never came to visit when
i was in hospital. but i can't
blame him for that, he was
probably blaming himself
for everything

Jackie🍆
Hey, my phones on
2%. Meet you in your
room later?

Brook🪔
yeah, of course
