“Ch’yeah, so I can put myself out of this misery” two fingers that sandwiched the blunt waved between Colson and Madison, who immediately took the opportunity to cosy up to one another now he was no longer in the middle, and while a lot of people would’ve had Col’s engagement at the forefront of their mind, it barely even registered in Pete’s - who’d witnessed all the highs and the lows of the pairs relationship, and to him, they were inevitable. All jokes aside, if he wasn’t having such a low, the sight of the two of them would’ve made him extremely happy.
Heaving out a heavy sigh, Pete waved the blunt out for either of them to take, hoping he could distract them with a certified hack, though when it became clear Col wasn’t letting up, Pete reached behind the back of his head to scratch there, eyes rolling upward as he avoided making contact with either of them. And in lieu of answering outright, the comedian killed two birds with one stone by telling Col everything he wanted to know, while simultaneously digging for any news on the Euphoria star. “Have either of you, uh….heard from Syd at all?”.
Madison could think of a dozen people who would be affected by all this drama right off the top of her head without really trying. Chiefly, Pete’s housemate, Mila. And of course, a best friend Pete and Jake both shared - Maude. There was the bridal party, including herself. And, of course, Jake’s family. But she hadn’t given thought to Sydney. At least not until Pete said the name, and suddenly the fact that Syd was a friend of Col’s, Pete’s and Jake’s surfaced at once. God, she must be devastated. Features falling a bit, Madison chewed her lip as she realized she hadn’t heard from Sydney all week - though in all honesty that wasn’t in and of itself unusual. She’d never been super close to the girl, even though she had an abundance of love for her and their social circles ran together. But what really got Madison’s attention was that, out of all the people Pete could’ve asked about… Syd seemed a random choice. Curled against Col, she shook her head as her eyebrows knit together into a bit of a worried frown. She wrapped an arm across her boyfriend’s stomach and rested her head against his tattooed chest. “Mm mm… why? Have you? God, don’t tell me something happened to her too…”
“ i knew it ! ” he doesn’t move from his spot where he’s curled up with madison but he does lift a hand to point at pete. he knew the man far too well for him to ever hide anything and when it came to sydney, colson had always wondered how long it would take. but he knew pete had to figure it out for himself. had to sort the way he was feeling about all of it. especially after the whole ghosting thing. he eyed the back of pete’s head up somewhat before using his foot to nudge at him. for now, the blunt was entirely forgotten by him at this point. his mind was clearly elsewhere.
“ i knew you were thinking about syd. ” he nudges him again with his toes and smirks lazily; arms gently tightening around madison as he nuzzled into her further. this was the happiest he’d felt in ages; cozied up to her with pete hanging out. it felt like old times. and it felt perfect. “ i haven’t heard from her either. fuck, yeah, did something happen to her too ? god. there’s somethin’ in the water in hollywood, i swear to god. ”
