PEYTON: Trust me, the toys I have aren't dolls.
MAX: Oh my god.
TEXT || MAX
PEYTON: Why not?
MAX: You're little Peyton. You should be playing with dolls.
TEXT || MAX
PEYTON: To be fair, I like the way you look.
MAX: You really shouldn't be saying stuff like that.

PEYTON: Some people are immortal because they put on flashy shows. Some people are immortal because their music transcends generations.
PEYTON: I completely agree.
MAX: Case and point; the Beatles. Still. I like my style way too much. I still struggle to put on a dress 😝
MAX: You shouldn't.

PEYTON: If they're real fans, they'll still love you for your music. Besides there's variant degrees of dorkiness.
PEYTON: Though don't ever get rid of the black lace bras..
MAX: Oh yeah. Imagine me dressing like Amy Farrah Fowler and singing my songs. Guaranteed success.
MAX: Never. It's a big improvement from the sports bras.
TEXT || MAX
PEYTON: Yeah yeah. There's nothing wrong with being dorky. Just embrace it.
MAX: Tell that to my fans. Do you think I'd be popular if I dressed and acted dorky? I doubt it. They like black lace bras and ripped jeans.
TEXT || MAX
PEYTON: Please. You've always been dorky. Too pretty to be annoying.
MAX: I could go for passionate about music. Borderline obsessive. Crazy bitch. Never dorky.
TEXT || MAX
PEYTON: You've always been a rock star. You just have a recording contract now.
PEYTON: And now that's you ;) lol.
MAX: I like to think that.
MAX: Hey! I take great offense in that. I'm far from dorky or annoying.
TEXT || MAX
PEYTON: lol
PEYTON: You're really a lot dorkier than I remember.
MAX: Excuse you, I'm a rock star
MAX: If I remember correctly, you were the dorky one
MAX: And kinda annoying too
TEXT || MAX
PEYTON: Yeah yeah lol
PEYTON: A signed t-shirt?
MAX: Idk I figured I should give you something to brag about lol
TEXT || MAX
PEYTON: Thank you.
PEYTON: I'm only human.
MAX: And possibly deaf lol
MAX: No, but really. Remind me to bring a signed t-shirt tomorrow.
TEXT || MAX
PEYTON: He was. Thanks. It's okay. Like you said, I was annoying little Peyton back then. You didn't have to be there.
PEYTON: That's good :)
PEYTON: I think you should. Hearing you stripped down like that was an experience everyone deserves to have at least once in their lives.
MAX: Still. You're Ruby's cousin. That makes you family.
MAX: You just had to put the word stripped in there.
MAX: Thanks though. I don't think I'm all that but it's nice to know someone likes it lol

PEYTON: My dad taught me a lot before he died. I play bass and guitar, and I follow a lot of indie musicians before they breach the sellout stage.
PEYTON: You can force a song to be complete - verse, chorus, verse, bridge, chorus, end.. but you can't force your soul into a song.
PEYTON: I'd love to hear some of your other stuff sometime. And I swear I won't rip it and post it online.
MAX: He sounds like a great dad. I'm sorry about him, by the way. I wasn't in the country when it happened, so I wasn't able to be there for you and your mom.
MAX: Yeah. That's why I don't buy songs from songwriters, you know? Ruby's the only person who writes for me when I'm too stuck to get a song to work.
MAX: Who knows. I might stop by the bar again sometime.
TEXT || MAX
PEYTON: I think that's the point. You didn't perform to entertain anyone. You did it for yourself and that's what music should be. It's personal and private. It's showing people a part of your soul. I was stunned. It reminded me of when you and Ruby used to play music in high school before you became a big star and she started to repopulate the world with tiny demon spawn.
PEYTON: You should but don't force it. Music shouldn't be forced.
MAX: I didn't know you knew so much about music. To be honest, I used to hate performing. Having to put on a show and let people see my music. I hated how most musicians were sellouts. I need these moments from time to time to remind me why I do it.
MAX: I haven't felt like myself in years. [DELETED]
MAX: You clearly don't know me. I get obsessed with finishing and making everything perfect. I won't stop until I make it what I want it to be. But I don't have that problem this time. I kind of finished the lyrics on the spot. I just need to do some touch ups on the melody.
MAX: Ruby wrote it, actually.
TEXT || MAX
PEYTON: LOL relax. I don't have a secret Max Pierce shrine or anything.
PEYTON: It's because you looked the most in your element up there. It was a nowhere venue and you weren't all glitzed and glamoured up. You looked more like a real musician than I'd seen in a long time. It was just you and those haunted lyrics that left a crowd of people speechless. I was in awe and wanted to chronicle the moment.
MAX: Good to know lol
MAX: That's...I actually don't know what to say. I had no idea people even thought that was good. It was the first time I sung that song,I had no idea what I was doing. It was mostly improv.
MAX: But it's cool you liked it so much. All the more reason to finish it.
TEXT || MAX
PEYTON: Can I be completely honest?
MAX: Now I'm scared to say yes...but yes.
TEXT || MAX
PEYTON: I'll see you then.
MAX: One question.
MAX: Why did you take pictures of me?
