Thalia: The bathroom was taken so Thalia was using one of the bedrooms to fix her eyeliner. She was a little drunk so it wasn't the easiest but she was doing fine until someone walked in and startled her so bad the eyeliner went straight down her cheek "fuck"
Wren: Wren came into one of the bedrooms thinking it was a bathroom, "Oh sorry, I thought this was the bathroom" said Wren until he realized it was Thalia, "Torres you made it!" he said excitedly as he took a sip of his drink, he looked her up and down. She looked ... not like her usual self.
Thalia: Thalia looked at Wren and she admidiatly just melted at the sight of him but tried her best not to smile like a goof" Oh hey Wren, yeah I got a coworker to take my shift, came here with Kimmy but she went off with O,iver really quickly"
Wren: Wren gave her a big hug, "I'm so glad you're here!" he said excited and a little tipsy, "Well that's too bad" he said with a sad face, "You need to find some single friends to hangout with" he joked.
Thalia: For some reason that last comment offended Thalia, it made her frown and she took her time trying to decide how to reply while they hugged "I don't need single friends, just cause I'm single, does that mean im not good enough for my friends who arent single? like you?" She hated how people never seemed to controle their tongue when they were drunk, now she was one of them
Wren: "Dude, I just meant you should have people around that aren't going to ditch you for their boyfriend or girlfriend" said Wren kind of confused at where this was coming from, "Kimmy's texts didn't make sense, what is going on with you? Are you okay? Is this about Chase?" he asked.
Thalia: " Chase is an asshole, he is not worth moping about" she said more boldly then she had expected." What did Kimmy say to you?"
Wren: "I don't know it was super weird and cryptic. Something about you liking people who don't want to be with you and how it hurts you" said Wren trying to remember the texts, "I'll beat a guy up if I have to" he added to be supportive.
Thalia: "I mean, I agree, that's very vague because I do get turned down by pretty much every guy i like" she said more bluntly then she'd usually do. "But im just...I've been in love with the same dude for a long time and it's time to let go...but it hurts like a mother fucker.. you know?" she didnt know where she was going with this, it was like her brain had just taken a pee break and her mouth was tlaking wihtout it.
Wren: "There's no way, you're a total catch Torres" said Wren earnestly. "Wait, how do I not know about this? Who is it?" asked Wren, "and I bet he does like you. I hate seeing you like this" he added. He had no clue who the hell she was talking about, especially because Chase had just moved to town last year so it couldn't be him.
Thalia: Thalia sighed dramatically" If I'm sucha catch then doesn't anyone want to catch me? I'm so sick of people telling me that, especially people i know would never want to date me" She could feel herself tremble with each words and then she paused and just stared at him for a bit. " Do you remember back in 2nd grade when I found you crying because no one wanted to be your valentine?"
Wren: Wren just listened as she ranted, "I mean not really ... I mean my parents, nana and pops, rory, and chanel, and of course you gave me valentines. I don't really remember it being a bad day" said Wren not really recalling what she was talking about, "why?" he asked, wondering why she was talking about this right now.
Thalia: " Because ... you were like...drowning in tears and it hurt so much to see you that way,....I wanted to tell you that you were my only valentine...I wanted you to know that you were wanted...I just didn't have the guts to tell you....and i couldn't tell you any other moment I had the chance to...not even when you left and I had basically nothing to lose...and then you come back and I still can't tell you...and then..and then it's just way too late..." She couldn't look at him anymore
Wren: "Torres what are you talking about?" said Wren, kind of remembering it. He must've pushed the memory out of his mind a long time ago. "Are you saying that I've been rejecting you this whole time?" he said concerned, "Thalia ... I um. I mean I feel awful but I just. I don't really know what to say ... are you saying that you're into me? I don't understand" he said confused, he'd never had anyone be into him other than Valerie.
Thalia: There it was, she had ruined everything at last. But at that moment it didnt matter, she was just too emotional to think straight"Of course I'm into you" She let out with a wounded voice"I've been pining for you for years....."She sait down on the bed and stared at her hands"I really thought I was over it after you left, i told myself it had just been a silly crush...and it felt like a silly crush..until you came back and it all just...swallowed me whole again...and..I just can't pretend anymore because it's exchausting and it's draining and it's fucking painful"
Wren: "Why would you be into me this makes no sense" said Wren just kind of dumbstruck by the whole thing. He had no idea, "I'm really sorry Thalia, but like I can't be sorry that I'm seeing someone. We should talk about this when you're sober. I should go, but know that I care about you like a lot" he replied as he turned around and left the room.
Thalia: Him leaving like this, that abruptly hurt more then anything had ever done, and it also told her all she needed to know. This was why she never said anything, nothing she would say would change anything, he'd still be in love with Valery and Thalia would still just be his friend, she knew it would make more damage then good and right now she hated herself for cracking. She cried for a while before getting up and leaving the room as well.
