– “ micah -- hey. i guess i'll just get straight to the point then. what happened the other day -- i didn't mean to, well, i didn't mean to come off the way i did. even now, if you asked me what was going on between us, i probably couldn't give you a straight answer. it's not because i didn't see our relationship, i think, going anywhere -- it's just, uh, the problem just comes down to me. the truth is, i tried so hard  to hold back with you and it wasn’t because we live together. it was because i knew if anything happened between us it would have been  temporary and then you would be off to your actual life. i don’t think i could’ve dealt with that. i've done temporary. actually, i've only done temporary, but that didn't feel right with you. i didn't know where your head was at either, so i guess that's why everything was or is such a mess. i never had to deal with feeling that way about someone. instead, i tried ignoring everything and focused on the end of the summer -- reminded myself that you would be gone soon.  the carnival and what happened after the carnival was never part of that plan, but i would never take it back either. it was unexpected, but a nice unexpected. a really, really nice unexpected. but because it was so abrupt, i was still stuck with the idea of you leaving -- that was the only possibility. thinking about our future would’ve meant that i would've had to work on getting over you.  i couldn't do that because i like you too much. an embarrassing amount actually. it’s like -- most of the time when i'm at work and it's shit, i know you're going to be there when i get home and that's become sorta everything to me. i wouldn't want anyone else there, except for you. i'm clearly awful when it comes to things like this, but i do want to be with you, micah. i want you in my life now and especially in the future.  i don't have the proper nomenclature to assign to what that means for us moving forward, but as long as we're together in some way it’s what i want. you once told me that you lucked out with me , but i hope you know it goes both ways. i wasn't in the best place a few months back and i don't mean to sound vague at all, but you helped me so much. i needed you too. now i know that even if you did leave, you would have still stayed a constant in my life. no matter what happens, i think that’s what we are for each other. i'm sorry if i messed things up or if i totally read into this the wrong way, but i hope that you'll be willing to at least talk to me. i'd even, maybe, consider some ina and jeffrey improv action. anyway, i'll see at home. ”

– “ hey, uh, it's rowan. you probably knew that, since all my calls have been going to voicemail, but -- well, first, please hear me out. i promise i won't be long. just listen and then, i promise i won't ever bother you again. if that's what you want. i mean, you could probably still delete the voicemail and i wouldn't know, but now i'm just rambling and not getting to the point. the thing is, i miss you, levs. i miss you a lot and the last thing i ever wanted to do was have things end the way they did. you were so important to me and you still are, even though everything's a mess. you helped me out a lot in so many ways and it's not something i could just forget. i'm sorry if i made it seem like that. when i left it wasn't because of you. it wasn't because i thought any differently of you. if anything, you were a part of why i left. life dealt you a shitty hand, but you still got through it, so i thought i could too. also, i had this crazy idea that maybe we could get out together. that's not the point though. the point is that it was just me, not you. i was the one who got myself all messed up, y'know? i didn't know how to deal with it and i felt like i only had myself to rely on. it was shit, but i never meant to blindside you in the process. i  wanted to finally leave my past -- the system, the drugs, my parents' addictions. everything. it was hard, but i couldn't let myself live that way. you weren't ever part of that past. ever. you were a part of my future. or at least that's what it seemed like during that time. i guess i didn't properly think it through and you can hate me for it if you want, but i do think that we're a lot alike. that's why i hope you understand. and i'd like to be there for you as a friend or even an acquaintance if things aren't quite there yet. i want you in my life if you'll let me be in yours. i do care about you and it was nice seeing you. really nice. i could say so many other things, but i don't want to annoy you or anything. or, i could be wrong about everything. maybe you actually don't care and none of it mattered. if that's the case, then i guess you can ignore all of this. it's just not the case for me and i hope you know that. i'll understand either way if you still rather not speak to me. i really do wish the best for you in so many ways. and i'm sorry. i'm really, really sorry. goodbye.”

*.★ : ( sis — 2.34pm )

hey, hi, hey. hope you’ve settled in well at your new place. you’re probably busy partying it up with your new john hopkins buddies so i’ll keep this short. or, you know, short by nolan standards. i know we haven’t been too close the last couple of years and that it’s because we’ve been caught up with different things but i already really miss you, bud. i know you’ll do great out there. you’ll become this amazing doctor that’s got her life together and won’t let anyone belittle her. mom and dad keep telling me how proud they are of you but they probably say that to you too, so i don’t know why i would even mention it. you’re the good one, you know? the success kid. [sighs] they’re starting to ask me about school more and they actually eat dinner at home a couple of times a week, too. it’s so fucking weird. like, all i do now is listen to them discuss complicated lawyer stuff that i don’t even understand. i think i liked it better with you here and they pretended like i didn’t exist. how fucked up is that? i don’t know why, i just feel like they feel forced to take an interest in me and that’s the worst feeling, honestly. so, yeah. anyway. remember when we actually used the tree house out back? i think those were the years where i was closest to being genuinely happy. i go up there to escape them now. wow, listen to me whine about my parents taking more of an interest in me. haha. you know what it is, though, it’s just a little too late. [sings half of the jojo song and forgets what he was saying before that] okay, well, don’t mistake any of this for me being sad or blaming you for anything. i’m so fucking proud of you, you don’t even know. honestly the minute you settle down and get a house, i’m getting someone to build you a tree house so i can move into your backyard. i want us to be as close as back then, so i’m gonna try to reach out more. it’s one of the many things i completely suck at but i’ll try. so hard. anyway, holla at me when you get this. i’ll come get froyo in maryland sometime, maybe hit you up. maybe.

  --  “ i was hoping you'd be awake, but on another note, i probably would've scolded you because it's way too late. it might be better this way because i'm kinda delirious after this annoyingly long shift and i have a lot of corny love to spread your way. i was thinking about the talk we had the other day -- about how you didn't have a plan and how everything is a confusing mess. it kinda brought me back to when we first met. i remember how before that i just felt like i was kinda there in the world -- pointless. i didn't want anybody to care for me and i didn't want to care for anybody. guess the system fucks you up that way, huh? anyway, i got to the group home with the belief that i could make it on my own. that i didn't need anyone. the truth is, i was scared. i was so scared -- but then i met you and i could tell you were terrified too. in a different way. a quieter way. i don't know if i believe that some things are just meant to be or if the universe has a plan for all of us, but something pulled me your way. something that i can't even explain to this day -- cue the cheesiness. i just know that meeting you gave me some sorta direction in life and i finally figured out that isolating myself wasn't the way to go. i finally cared about someone and i finally found someone that i truly believe cared about me. that was huge.... i think because of that i wanna help kids like us back at the system. i'm trying to take classes down at the local college, but it's tricky. it’s confusing. even now, i don't know exactly what i'm doing. that’s why i wanted to tell you that even if you don't know what you're doing right now, you'll figure it out gradually. hell, the universe might even throw you your own milo your way to help you out. unfortunately, you're just stuck with a rowan now, but trust me when i say that this rowan loves you a lot and believes in you.  you just can't let yourself fall into the mindset that you're not good at anything and that you don't have anything you can fall back on in your future. after all, we are our own worst enemy. like i said, i used to think that i didn't need anyone and that i didn't need a family -- but if that were true, then i wouldn't have you. you're my family, 'lo. you're also the strongest and bravest person i know. you've made it so far and you'll be able to get past whatever gets in your way in the future. even if by any slim chance it all goes wrong, i'll be here to pick up the pieces because that's what family does and i’m your sister. i promise and we've even got it in ink, so you have to trust me. anyway, goodnight and have a great day tomorrow. we'll talk soon. ”

task 003: voicemails

JULY 29, 3:53 PM

“c’mon, riley, why’d i get you a cheap phone if you’re not gonna answer it? i’m outside, so come out here, alright? i gotta be somewhere in a little, but if you hurry we can stop by the pizza place and get some dinner. but only if you hurry, alright? okay, so get your ass out here, riles. i’m starving.”

JULY 29, 4:06 PM

[ fvnley ]

“why the fuck aren’t you answering? listen, i got your text, i just called because i wanted to talk to him myself. i hate not being there, fuck. anyway, it doesn’t matter that they’re weaker. like, it’s probably better that they are. but they should be cheaper. why would i pay for-- [sound of a car door opening and a young boy’s voice] -- fin, i gotta go. make it happen. bye.”

JULY 29, 4:43 PM

[ dahliabenson ]

“hey, i got what you asked for the other day, i’m about to pick it up from someone now. tell me when you wanna meet. i think you’re gonna like it, it’s a, uh, different formula, i think. tell your friends. or don’t.”

task #3

outgoing call to: gabe the babe ftsgabriel

“why the fuck aren’t you answering me? what could you possibly be doing that’s more important than talking to your favorite person in the world? anyway, i’m having a really weird day and i was feeling sentimental and i was planning on telling you how i’m really greatful that you’re here and in my life. i was also going to say that you’re the best friend i’ve ever had and i genuinely don’t know what i would do without you. but then i got your voicemail three times in a row and the feeling passed. call me back, asshole.” 

outgoing call to: dad

“hey dad, it’s hadley.” hadley paused. she never knew how much she needed to tell him, if she needed to remind him that she was his daughter. it was uncharted territory and it didn’t help that he called her by her mother’s name twice that morning. “i just wanted to let you know i’m with gabe right now, but i should be home pretty soon. i was thinking about renting some movies and getting take out. we can have a movie night. call me with any suggestions on where to get food. bye. love you.”

outgoing call to: charlotte charlcttes

“hey char! i feel like i haven’t seen you in forever even though it’s only been like four days. but let’s that does mean four days of new shit happening, let’s do something. what’s your schedule look like tomorrow? if you have time we can grab coffee or something. if you don’t have time, pencil me in sometime this week, i miss my usual does of char. let me know what’s going on!”

—♢░↯&&. voicemail; winona

jasper: you're really difficult to understand, you know that?

jasper: for years now, you've barely given me the time of day. you practically scoffed every time you saw me, much less acknowledged me in a positive light, and now? well now, i don't even know what's going on in your mind. not that i ever did before--i've never been able to figure out what you're thinking--but now it's even harder than before.

jasper: why are you suddenly so interested in me, winona? i mean, i'm not saying i want you to stop, i'm just curious. i'm not exactly the most liked person, as you like to point out, so why am i suddenly on your list of priorities? you're a sweet girl when you want to be, but i don't think you're one to take on charity cases.

jasper: and i don't want to be one.

jasper: anyways, uh, i just really hope this isn't going to turn out to be some elaborate joke of yours, and if it is, you don't have to call me back. or like...ever talk to me again, actually. but if i'm just being paranoid, then you should definitely call me back. i'm cashing in that date you talked about.

jasper: anyways, i'll talk to you later. oh--i finished that sketch of you. it turned out really well, i think, you make a good muse. but yeah, bye.

* & Elijah } Task #3, Part 2

Hi, you've reached ###-###-#### automated voicemail. Please leave a message after the beep!

Gabriel: Why don't you talk to me anymore? I see you walking past me, and I see you give me that fucking stare, but you never fucking talk to me? You were wearing my old ass shirt that I left at your house two years ago, but you won't say anything if I try to talk to you? What the fuck?

Gabriel: I smile /and/ wave, but all I get is eye contact? And while you're wearing /MY/ FUCKING SHIRT? WHERE IS THE RESPECT, ELIJAH NATHANIEL BENSON? WE WERE BEST FRIENDS BEFORE I LEFT OVER SEAS, BENSON. I KNOW YOU AND SAB DIDN'T WANT TO GO, AND I KNOW I WAS TOO MUCH OF A PUSSY TO SAY GOOD- BYE, BUT FUCK, ELIJAH! WHAT WAS I SUPPOSE TO DO? YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT IF I SAID GOOD-BYE, THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE GONE AT ALL! MY DAD WAS BAGGING ON ME FOR DOING NOTHING WITH MY LIFE AND MY MOM WAS TIRED OF BEING DISAPPOINTED IN ME.

Gabriel: OF ALL FUCKING PEOPLE, YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND MY SITUATION WITH MY DAD WHEN YOU'VE GOT FUCKING DADDY ISSUES, TOO, ELIJAH. DON'T THINK I FORGOT ABOUT YOUR ISSUES WITH YOUR DAD, ELIJAH. I MAY HAVE BEEN OVERSEAS, BUT I STILL REMEMBER ALL THE SHIT YOU TOLD ME. DON'T HOLD MY CHOICES AGAINST ME WHEN I WAS TRYING TO FIX MY DADDY ISSUES WHEN YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH YOUR DADDY ISSUES.
