TEXT MESSAGE 📲 KARLEY

KITTY: You should be

KITTY: Yeah. And you have to like more than want it, you have to be ready for it and seek it out yourself. It's the whole you can take a horse to water but you can't make them drink thing.

MARLEY: Sassy.

MARLEY: Pretty much, otherwise you can go through the motions for so long that eventually everything implodes and you mess a zillion things up because of how much you tried to force being okay.

KITTY: It's what I do

[...]

KITTY: Have you messed a zillion things up? That seems really unlikely. You give a great show every time, so...

MARLEY: In that case, I'm honored :)

MARLEY: Yeah, I mean like I want to be better but it's hard.

KITTY: You should be

KITTY: Yeah. And you have to like more than want it, you have to be ready for it and seek it out yourself. It's the whole you can take a horse to water but you can't make them drink thing.

Come on, Anderson, aren’t you even younger than me? You should be able to figure it out.

What’s a mood? Why does everyone keep saying mood to my tweets? Is it a new thing? Am I missing out on a thing?

TEXT MESSAGE 📲 KARLEY

MARLEY: I was joking, mostly, you don't have to say that.

MARLEY: Right? People think if I just go back to therapy I'll get better, but talking to someone about how I don't like myself kind of makes me dislike myself more sometimes.

KITTY: I pride myself on being honest, so...

KITTY: It's crazy that people think therapy is like some overnight cure. You have to be willing to work and ready to listen and it's a lot of sessions of just crying and hating yourself. I get it.

KITTY: But when you're ready to actually try and get better and listen and trust someone else...it really can do wonders.

MARLEY: I didn't ask about society, weirdo.

[...]

MARLEY: I think I have to be really ready to hear it for it to work.

KITTY: Yeah well...

KITTY: You're really pretty

[...]

KITTY: Yeah it's not going to get better until you actually let yourself listen

KITTY: But even then it's still not always as easy as it sounds. And a lot of people who've never done the whole therapy thing don't get it.

JACKIE: Everyone's gotta right to their opinion so I can't argue with you there.

JACKIE: Because that's what you're acting like right now. Also, I'd like it on the record that I never actually said bitch, so I'm glad you got it without me having to go there first. No, because I know I can be sometimes but at least when I'm a bitch it's usually for a reason.

KITTY: We all know what the subtext for brat means. And I'm not being a brat or a bitch right now. And what reasons do you have for being a bitch? Is it some sob story about growing up poor? Because if it is, I'd rather watch some rerun of Degrassi or something than listen to your tragic backstory.

TEXT MESSAGE 📲 KARLEY

MARLEY: GASP, does Kitty Wilde think I'm pretty???

MARLEY: I hope so at least!

MARLEY: Yeah, technically. But after being in a hospital for a while for it, I always know what they're going to say so it's hard to talk and absorb anything when I know what's coming.

KITTY: I have eyes, so... [UNSENT]

KITTY: You're leggy and like model-skinny and tall and have blue eyes and now you're blonde so like...yeah, I think society would say you're pretty

[...]

KITTY: Yeah. I understand that. You can really become numb to a lot of what they say after a while. Like, it becomes background noise.

TEXT MESSAGE 📲 KARLEY

MARLEY: Gotcha. I guess.

MARLEY: I think I was left out of the good gene pool in my family. Granted I only really know a small part of my family.

[a few minutes later]

MARLEY: Since high school, yeah. I always shake it for a while, but, I guess it'll always come back.

KITTY: I think you got some impressive genes so don't sell yourself short

KITTY: Oh my god that was too flirty wasn't it [UNSENT]

KITTY: I mean, I don't know much of your family, either, but you seem to have some things in common with them in like a good way.

[...]

KITTY: Yeah those things don't really go away. Especially during stressful times like this.

KITTY: Do you have someone you can talk to about it? Like a professional?

JACKIE: Are you always this annoying or am I special?

JACKIE: Yes you are and it’s got nothing to do with that. I actually like that about you, but that trait kind of falters when you’re so rude about it. Nah, I'd probably just call him a dick.

KITTY: Trust me, I don't think there's anything special about you.

KITTY: So why do I get called a bitch and a brat? And are you saying you aren't a bitch, because where I'm sitting from, you don't look so nice yourself.

[divinestkitty]

text || open

JACKIE: I never said I liked it, just that I didn't mind the smell of it.

JACKIE: No. You having a bad attitude, period. This isn't the first time you've come off as a brat and something tells me it won't be the last.

KITTY: Mmhmmm. Sure.

KITTY: I'm a brat? Why? Just because I'm not afraid to say what I think and believe? Would you call a guy doing that the same thing?

MARLEY: Learning things? Like what??

MARLEY: Geesh you and Quinn really are smart. Then there's me, having Kat pass math for me for years.

[...]

[...]

MARLEY: I hadn't eaten in a few days.

KITTY: Just things involving Norah in general

KITTY: I'm still a little too weirded out to talk about it

KITTY: God I sounded like a bitch didn't I [UNSENT]

KITTY: It's just good genes for the Fabwildes, I guess.

[...]

KITTY: And this has been a recurring problem, hasn't it?

TEXTS || KITTYKAT

KAT: You... didn't know.

KAT: Oh my god.

KAT: Please don't say anything to her?

KITTY: Q and I don't really talk about hookups that often. It's not something I really talk about with anyone like ever for a lot of reasons.

KITTY: To who?? Norah or Quinn? Because god I don't know if I can look at either of them in the face ever again.

KITTY: How could EITHER of them??????

KITTY: First I find out Norah's a good cuddler and "adorable" apparently and now THIS?? What's the next surprise I get to learn about her?

[divinestkitty]

text || open

JACKIE: I get why you would think that, but why can't I just be someone who doesn't mind the smell of cheap perfume?

JACKIE: And even if I were the culprit, I definitely wouldn't stop now since it seems you have no idea how to go about it nicely. I knew you had a bad attitude, but I didn't think it was this bad.

KITTY: You're not helping your case by saying you like it at all.

KITTY: Me? Having a bad attitude?? For not liking bad perfume??? What???

[divinestkitty]

text || open

JACKIE: That's another thing to add to the list of things I didn't know. You learn something new every day. It doesn't smell that bad though.

JACKIE: That's pretty impressive for something with water in the title. So are you really going to do it? Because I really wanna see if it works.

KITTY: I'm glad I could enlighten you, Jackie. But seeing as you don't think it smells bad, I think maybe you're the culprit with the cheap perfume.

KITTY: I don't want to have to do it, so maybe you should stop spraying that cheap stuff everywhere. I don't have a lot of holy water left and I don't want to waste it all on purifying the bus.

MARLEY: Norah is completely and utterly adorable. But no one is supposed to know. She's also AWESOME at cuddling, so we're going to have to get you to level up pretty fast.

MARLEY: You must be really smart, because that's exactly what my therapist said when I called her last week. Not EXACTLY but close.

MARLEY: Yeah, you can ask, Kitty.

KITTY: I find that very hard to believe. But I am apparently learning all the weird things about Norah today, so...

KITTY: I DID get into one of the best schools in the nation and I AM related to one of the resident Ivy League graduates on tour for a reason. But I'm glad I haven't completely forgotten my psychology skills.

[...]

KITTY: ...It wasn't just an exhaustion thing, was it?

KAT: I know the feeling.

KAT: Well, I feel stupid. Obviously she's not, she and Norah had a thing a while back.

[...]

KAT: Sorry. I know that's your cousin. It's not exactly a secret. Please forget I said that.

KAT: It's okay. You don't have to like it or understand it yet. You've acknowledged that you are, which is the first big step. The rest will come in time.

KAT: ...Well, let me first say that this girl must be crazy if she's not interested.

KAT: Let me secondly say that I'm wonderful at playing matchmaker.

KAT: And let me thirdly say that I need to live vicariously through someone since my love life is in absolute shambles.

KITTY: ...She and WHO?????

KITTY: You’re KIDDING me

KITTY: GOD

KITTY: I don’t know, I’m pretty hard to deal with. I wouldn’t blame her. And I can barely speak around her anyways.

KITTY: Why don’t I match you up instead? I’m not ready.

[divinestkitty]

TEXT MESSAGE 📲 KARLEY

MARLEY: Yep! I've even got Kat's notification bell clicked just for the KittyKat videos.

MARLEY: Well, I'm glad it was you.

MARLEY: I'm happy that you're happy about it. Plus, I'm the master at keeping cute people on the DL when they want people to think they're mean and broody.

MARLEY: How don't I disappoint people? I'm in a constant spiral of pretending to be happy, when I'm not. I make people worry about me because I can't stop hurting myself. So I make people think I'm better just to let them down over and over again IE: passing out at the interview. Not being able to be a REAL role model because most of my role modelness is fake... etc etc etc.

[...]

MARLEY: Sorry that was a lot you don't have to like respond or anything.

[...]

KITTY: lol

KITTY: Like who? Don’t try to tell me Norah’s cute or something

[...]

KITTY: You’re allowed to be imperfect. Being a role model is making mistakes and then getting better. It’s accepting that you aren’t perfect that’s inspring, not actually being perfect.

[...]

KITTY: Can I ask about that interview thing?
