So you understand why I didn’t have many friends with them

Oh, I understand. I don’t blame you, honestly.

[rosamaria-burrows]

And this is why you've become one of my best friends.

[just--like--magic-deactivated20]

No you’re fault rich people are boring.

Oh trust me, I know.

[rosamaria-burrows]

[rosamaria-burrows]

Well, that’s really shitty… That’s fucked. And I’m sorry.

No you’re fault rich people are boring.

I live in a daydream, plus I was pretty manipulative…man I miss that. But that’s why I’m here trying to find love, ain’t working to well.

You’re here to find love?… Like… That’s why you’re in Salem?

[rosamaria-burrows]

Well not the only reason. Originally main reason, also only place I could get transportation to that my parents couldn’t track me. Also as much as I love New York and my life there is needed to get away from the fake friends.

[just--like--magic-deactivated20]

I’m so fucking confused…

[rosamaria-burrows]

What’s got you confused?

[just--like--magic-deactivated20]

Why are you being forced into an arranged marriage? Like, I get that your parents think that it’s the best decision for you by why was it an idea in the first place?

[rosamaria-burrows]

Because believe it or not my charming personality didn't go over so well in private school. My best friends are my brothers and like I said I can be manipulative when I wanna so...basically I don't really knoe.

Thanks. *laughs* I did, but they tried to assure me it would be fine and I was being dramatic…which probably doesn’t help I imagine my life is a movie 80% of the time.

Why don’t they listen to you?.. You’re not being dramatic. You should be able to decide who you want to marry. That’s not fucking fair.

*smilesc with a shrug* Anytime Darling, drinking and deep conversations seem to be our thing. You know anyone willing to date a emtionally locked away ginger?

[Shrugs] Um, possibly? I may have to ask around but I’m sure we can find you someone. [Chuckles] Have you told your parents that this isn’t what you want?..

[rosamaria-burrows]

Thanks. *laughs* I did, but they tried to assure me it would be fine and I was being dramatic...which probably doesn't help I imagine my life is a movie 80% of the time.

It’s not your fault. Well my parents thankfully mean well. They just want me to be secure and financially stable. They’re trying to look out for me, but I just I don’t want to live a typical upper east side life. We’re all fucked a little. But hey, at least I have you to talk to. And if you ever wanna talk I’m all esrs.

[Chuckles] Thanks love, I appreciate that.. Is there anything I can do to help?…

[rosamaria-burrows]

Yup, it’s kinda why I moved here. Im a socialite, it’s fairly common amongst our world. But no one really calls it arranged marriage though that’s what it is. And….you’re kinda the first person I told..

Shit… I’m sorry, Rosamaria… Why?… That’s not fair. You should get to marry you want to.. That’s really fucked..

[rosamaria-burrows]

Alright, my parents keep calling me trying to convince me this arranged marriage won’t be terrible, my brothers are always planning some chaos, my like two best friends one I accidentally dated her ex not knowing he was her ex and then I kissed my other best friend. I work at a strip club so… and that is basically my life. Drinking and talking to you is the only normal thing I have.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Go back… You have an arranged marriage?… It’s 2015… Why the fuck do you have an arranged marriage?
