Ophelia: i've been on dates. i normally just make out with people like right off the bat but i feel like that'd throw off our dynamic

Ophelia: you're adorable

Ophelia: yeah i'd like that

Leighton: yeah haha. i mean, if you're okay with it, we can totally kiss on this date but if we don't i'm okay with it too.

Leighton: Thanks :)

Leighton: awesome, so...friday?

Ophelia: i dont go on a ton of dates clearly

Leighton: that sounds good. and don't worry, i don't go on a lot of dates either. this would be my first, actually. would you wanna get food and then like go to one of those pottery painting places like i know that probably sounds so stupid but i know you like art and i'd love to watch you paint something.

Ophelia: i know what you mean dude. me too. but idk maybe you need to take a step back from it. idk though like it feels like something that cant be fixed but you dont deserve to be treated like that anyway

Ophelia: consider my vote cast

Ophelia: yeah it still just all feels like so heavy all the time and i have no way to like relax im just so tense constantly

Ophelia: hey you're doing everything i could possibly ask for already, and at least you know that if it doesnt all work out there was nothing else you /could/ do right like we're all doing everything we can

Ophelia: those guys were the actual scum of the earth

Ophelia: still dont feel any better about it

Leighton: I'm his only friend...like if you don't count Brie...which I only do situation-ally. Is that stupid? Does that make sense?

Leighton: Anyway, like I don't know if he could suffer out on his own, but at the same time I feel like he wouldn't care so why bother. I guess I'll just see where this all goes. Maybe I'll see he doesn't deserve friends. Maybe I'll like...realize he does need friends. Who knows?

Leighton: YES \o/ wanna be my running mate? #Lophelia2k17 #MakePromGayAgain

Leighton: I sound like Tristan. I need to stop. Way too extra.

Leighton: Wait also did I just ask you to prom over a text like a shit load of months in advance? THAT WAS SHITTY I'M SORRY LMFAO. I'm an idiot like i'm the comic relief of our friend group for a reason.

Leighton: OKAY

Leighton: i know what you mean...like i'm still puzzled about the whole like...him being so concerned that i'm into him. like i'm pretty sure he like...wants me to...but i'm SO not into him like that but then part of me is like 'hey maybe that's why he's so hateful and he can't love ANYONE the right way let alone himself'. I don't know. sucks, though.

Leighton: Thanks for that. That honestly makes me feel a lot better. Like, I'm actually helping. I'm trying my best, Phe. If we can book him with anything, we'll have accomplished something.

Leighton: Yeah, Luke and Neal were actual shit. Being on the basketball team with them was horrible. They made so many gross comments about the cheerleaders and other girls and they thought they were entitled to have girls like them. It was gross. Good thing they're locked up now.

Leighton: I felt bad for Becky Baker too. God, that must've been miserable. She was like...an okay person...but I still don't know how she did what she did. It was the right thing but like that's still her brother. That was brave as fuck.

Leighton: Well, regardless of what happens...I'll always be your friend. How's that?

Ophelia: you deserve so much better in a best friend than that

Ophelia: you're my new hero omfg

Ophelia: become valedictorian and say that at the end of your speech.

Ophelia: honestly this all just feels so shitty like. i really only got into this whole thing out of fear that he was gonna pull this shit on gemini and shes so small and innocent i couldnt live with myself thinking of what he might be doing to her and thank GOD it wasnt as bad as my mind was telling me it might be

Ophelia: unfortunately i dont think stolen evidence counts i think we'd need like a warrant or something to search his phone plus bryce totally strikes me as the delete your messages before you get caught type

Ophelia: it was too late for all that. i didnt tell anyone until like months later so they couldnt prove anything and since we dont have proof, even mentioning it in court would be considered slander so if we get him on anything its gonna be harassment but he wont even get like anything on his record about like sex offense so that fucking sucks unless hes like as much of an asshole as luke baker and took a video or some shit but at this point i feel like i'd rather not have that out in the universe even if no ones seen it. i so dont envy zoe.

Ophelia: it all just makes me feel so shitty for not saying something sooner

Leighton: we've been friends since we were kids. i'd feel like shit just ditching him now.

Leighton: thank you, thank you.

Leighton: DUDE I WISH I'M NOT FUCKING SMART ENOUGH FOR THAT, BUT IT WOULD BE SICK. NOMINATE ME FOR PROM KING OF SOMETHING INSTEAD.

Leighton: you did the right thing, phe. late or not, it's the right thing. you probably saved gemini.

Leighton: fuck that sucks. :( you're right, though. he's very much so a text it and delete it kind of guy. i just wish there was more i could do. i'm glad i can help, you know...i just wish i could REALLY help.

Leighton: yeah, someone sent me zoe's and it was awful. i felt like throwing up. i couldn't imagine going through that. i'm really glad no one did that to you, though.

Leighton: you spoke up at your own pace. it's okay. you needed your time.

Brie: that's a lie

Brie: oh my god.

Brie: jesus christ i really wanted to fucking believe that shit wasn't serious.

Brie: i'm sorry leighton.

Brie: that's bullshit.

Brie: don't let that get you down. i don't care how he was feeling about what you asked him. that was uncalled for.

Brie: i'm not gonna let him just say that shit and get away with it. i've lost my best friend because of this stupid shit and i'm probably going to end up spending the rest of my senior year without her because i'm a fucking idiot with a fucking idiot boyfriend and i'm too fucking far in and i'm just mad, okay? i'm pissed off. i thought he was over all of this shit.

Leighton: i think he loves you, he's just a shit communicator

Leighton: i'm sorry

Leighton: you're fine...it's fine. i don't care. i'm just irritated to the point that i can't even see straight.

Leighton: that wasn't a pun i swear

Leighton: it's whatever, brie. i thought he was getting better too but he's obviously just...being fake...i don't know.

Leighton: i'm disappointed. you're disappointed. everyone is honestly disappointed.

Ophelia: honestly i'm just really proud of you rn. bryce was one of the hardest parts of me coming out cause i was so so afraid of what he would say and it was clearly worse for you so im impressed and so so proud

Ophelia: honestly fuck guys tho. but like also /fuck/ guys tho.

Ophelia: make it ur senior quote be sure to credit me

Ophelia: omfg

Ophelia: can you imagine having masculinity so fragile

Ophelia: im at this point where i like... dont even know what to do anymore? like im trying to get people who can talk about him and then like he trashed my car and i have pictures and he's sent me some dumbass texts so i have those but im like not supposed to egg him on and i'm afraid we wont have enough

Leighton: Thanks :) Yeah, I was terrified to come out to him because I knew how he was.

Leighton: omg. #hero

Leighton: I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO SAY THAT.

Leighton: originally it was gonna be "hey hey bi-bi-bi" but i like that better.

Leighton: yeah...i haven't even thought that far in advanced. look, you know what the ultimate shit hole probably would be right? bryce's phone.

Leighton: what if i tried to think of some way to get to his phone and search his texts for shit from trent. they were tight. i don't know his passcode but i bet you i know someone who does.

Leighton: did they do like...dna testing on your clothes or anything? because like...if they have that...it's an easy match.

Leighton: sorry i watch a lot of svu.

Brie: what the FUCK did bryce do?

Brie: you can be honest okay like

Brie: i'm not gonna say shit to you at this point. i just want to know what happened.

Leighton: oh god

Leighton: dude, i'm mad as hell at him, but don't go off on him. you're the only one that really keeps him...i dunno like...caged?

Leighton: but yeah okay so

Leighton: it'd be easier to send you screenshots than explain because i'm honestly fucking lazy and i don't want to write it out.

Leighton: -all the screenshots from yesterday-

Leighton: that's what went down

Leighton: also surprise, i'm bi!

Ophelia: yeah

Ophelia: OKAY FIRST THINGS FIRST

Ophelia: -blue heart, purple heart, pink heart-

Ophelia: i have also never dated a guy so u n me both my dude

Ophelia: OKAY I WILL LITERALLY KILL HIM NO NO NO

Ophelia: like highkey weighing my options of who in his life to contact with this info: his brothers, his parents, brie???? bc NO

Ophelia: but also straight up good you told me all this cause i was starting to be okay with him and i was about to let him into my shit but now i dont trust him so fuck that

Ophelia: bryce is a manwhore who cant comprehend that liking dudes and liking him are not the same

Ophelia: just that. exactly that.

Ophelia: also just to request that you say what you said up there ^ about trent hitting on me and being gross to my lawyer? also if you know about things he said to gemini you could tell my lawyer that stuff too, a+ thanks a lot

Leighton: thanks, ophelia :)

Leighton: same i'm like wtf is a boy how do you get one to like you

Leighton: also same

Leighton: oh i seriously thought about texting brie screenshots earlier but i didn't

Leighton: please write that in my yearbook or on my tombstone what ever

Leighton: bc he's fucking ridiculous

Leighton: also i like randomly asked him you know like are you asking me this bc you might be bi too by some chance? and you would've thought i asked him if he had something to do with like...something fucking horrible because he blew up at me and said he wasn't an f-word and said he didn't suck dick and that I just wanted him to be bi for whatever reason, probably bc i had a crush on him and it was just RIDICULOUS.

Leighton: oh...yeah, i can do that. it's fine. i'm glad i could be of some assistance. i protested at zoe rivas' trial a while back, so i mean, of course i'd do anything to help here too.

Ophelia: and you remember trent hitting on me?

Ophelia: whoa whoa stop rewind

Ophelia: coming out?

Ophelia: what did he say to you i will fucking murder him

Ophelia: no no no its fine i came here to unload on you its fair

Leighton: yeah it was fucking gross

Leighton: yeah, so that stupid gossip post got me and bryce talking and i finally came out to him because i'm bisexual.

Leighton: so he started like invalidating my bisexuality just because i've never dated a guy well i fucking have sucked someone's dick before and liked it so obviously so

Leighton: holy fuck

Leighton: anyway and he used a bunch of horrible terms like the other f word and queers and shit and i'm just so done and pissed and he was talking shit about brie AGAIN saying she overreacts to everything and how like if the baby had lived in the crash it wouldn't be his responsibility because he didn't want to be a dad and that was all on her and the conversation just got sooooo stupid that i can't deal with it anymore.

Leighton: also i told bryce he wasn't my type and he was like 'i'm everyone's type' and was really like persistent about me having a thing for him like...maybe he wanted me to idk. it was weird.

Leighton: what do you need to unload about other that trent being a literal garbage can?

[l810mitch-blog]

text to leighton

Ophelia: so you saw me there?

Ophelia: is that about the party or did they do something new

Leighton: Yeah, of course.

Leighton: literally just their entire existences.

Leighton: Trent was an asshole at that party and was an asshole to his girlfriend.

Leighton: Bryce is an asshole to his girlfriend, an asshole to me, and is the most homophobic person I've ever met in my life.

Leighton: I should've known that I wasn't going to be given love and support after coming out to my best friend, but I kinda hoped. Makes me really wonder if like...all this love and support he gives Brie is legit or not.

Leighton: sorry for unloading, i've just been yelling at him for like three hours over text.

[l810mitch-blog]

Ophelia: hey were you at that party this summer

Ophelia: the one downtown that i was at. i know bryce and trent were there, and you're never far, so i was just wondering...

Leighton: I was.

Leighton: What's up?

Leighton: Also Trent and Bryce are both trashcans.

Text to: Leighton

Bryce: I'm not homophobic or biphobic nor am I a piece of shit. And you wouldn't stand next to Tristan Milligan either cus he's an annoying fest of bleach blonde hair.

Bryce: I understand you've been lying to me yeah

Bryce: Because there's something known as the power of influence. You get more done when people want you but that doesn't mean I want anything to do with them. You're just trying to convince me I'm like you cus you want me to not direct this at you which is a weird fucking move cus I will never be into dudes and it's also assuming I'm ditching you otherwise or something

Bryce: poetic

Leighton: Yeah, you are.

Leighton: You put on this front to Brie like you're some fucking angel and you love her so much but then when she really needs you, you pussy out and act like it's not your problem. Like, I'm sorry, dude, but the fucking fact that she was pregnant when that crash happened...it WAS your kid...and had she not lost the baby it WOULD have been your problem.

Leighton: But when doors are closed you just let loose and become this...piece of shit. You talk badly about her, me, minority groups, and you act like you're so fucking important. Notice that I'm your only true friend. I'm only calling you out on this shit because I love you like a brother and I'm tired of seeing you pull this bullshit. It's exhausting. I hate having to apologize for how you act, and having to watch you try to stop all over everyone like you're fucking Genghis Khan. It's ridiculous.

Leighton: Yeah, I would stand next to Tristan Milligan. Why? I'm joining the LGBT club this semester. Looks like I'll have to.

Leighton: Also he's not a blonde anymore.

Leighton: Just get your shit straight, man. You're not a bad guy. You have really good moments, but my god, you're so fucking self-obsessed and self-righteous. Fucking stop it or you're going to lose everyone you love because everyone's gonna get tired of you!
