Teddy & Chloe & Ava & Gia
Teddy: Trouble in paradise? 🥺
Teddy: do tell me what’s wrong
Chloé: Why don’t you grab yourself another 🍹 and shut up?
Teddy: Darling, don’t be like that
Teddy: you know you’re my favourite sister
Chloé: That would only be a compliment if yours wasn’t a massively boring bitch
Teddy: but she is, don’t you be boring too
Chloé: Your entire family is, a complete and utter bore fest that I’m languishing in
Teddy: Untrue
Teddy: come & play [some rich people sport or game idk] with me
Teddy: I’ll sneak you a 🍹
Chloé: I can’t, the baby will come out simple and deformed
Chloé: I can’t do anything because of these stupid babies
Teddy: it’s A drink & isn’t it basically fully formed by now anyway
Teddy: our secret, I promise
Chloé: He’ll only use it to make his case for full custody
Teddy: he won’t know
Chloé: That would require him to pay attention to me
Teddy: Precisely & he’d rather be daddy or write in his little notebook
Chloé: You could steal it for me, see what’s in it
Teddy: I could
Teddy: would that cheer you up?
Chloé: It might
Teddy: Okay, I will
Teddy: then you’ll believe I love you
Chloé: There must be something in there, he’s always writing
Teddy: Naturally, it’ll contain his deepest darkest desires
Teddy: & tedious as those will be, we’ll know things he doesn’t want us to
Chloé: He’s with someone, he doesn’t act like this when he’s alone
Teddy: I told you, Ava
Chloé: Yes but you’re a liar and you have no evidence
Chloé: for all I know you’re mad at her for some unrelated teenage angst
Teddy: her refusal to sleep with me is irrelevant, or should I say only relevant because she’s clearly fucking my brother
Chloé: He has 2 kids, trust me, that takes away all the appeal he may otherwise have
Teddy: oh please, her family tree is littered with unwanted brats, it probably counts as foreplay
Chloé: It doesn’t, I was friends with her brother and sister
Teddy: I’m friends with HER, I trump you there
Chloé: What’s she like?
Teddy: off girls at the moment & as I warned you before he’s exactly her type
Chloé: He’s no one’s type, not now
Teddy: Oh darling, get real
Chloé: Parenting robs you of any personality, I’m serious, don’t ever do it
Teddy: firstly I would never, secondly, she barely has a personality at 16
Teddy: if you think G is a bore… she absolutely isn’t her sister, that’s all I’ll add
Chloé: Why are you just depressing me further?
Teddy: Because it would make me sad to see you humiliated at anyone’s hands but mine
Chloé: You’re nothing to do with me
Chloé: Not once James makes the humiliation final
Teddy: nonsense, we’re family
Chloé: If I were related to your family, I’d kill myself
Teddy: we’ve all considered a dramatic suicide, what day is it? Tuesday? Thursday? That’s standard fare for either
Chloé: I booked this stupid mini-break for him
Teddy: Of course, you’re a fantastic wife
Chloé: Not according to him
Teddy: & what would he know about it? He’s a fool
Chloé: Yeah, he really is
Teddy: you should totally have a holiday fling, I intend to
Chloé: Don’t be stupid
Teddy: what’s stupid about my suggestion?
Teddy: you’re a walking fetish, darling
Chloé: That is disgusting, the reality is disgusting
Chloé: he won’t come near me and he did it
Teddy: leave reality packed away in your luggage
Chloé: No, I don’t want anyone to see me naked ever again
Teddy: I didn’t mean it when I as good as called you disgusting, I was just upset
Chloé: It’s true regardless
Teddy: it isn’t, you’re not the parasite, you’re you
Chloé: I’m going to have to leave, change my name and never see anyone again
Teddy: & make it that easy for him to move on?
Chloé: It won’t be, I have something in place for that
Teddy: which is why I’ll miss you terribly
Chloé: Yeah right
Teddy: you always refuse to believe a word I say
Chloé: Because I’m not as stupid as you think I am
Teddy: I don’t think that, I’ve been nothing but complimentary
Chloé: Today, to my face
Teddy: it’s difficult for me to admit I like people to their face
Chloé: It really isn’t, you said you loved me earlier
Chloé: if anything, you have the opposite problem
Teddy: to admit it with sincerity then
Chloé: It just makes you the same as your brother and father, isn’t that what you want
Teddy: I’d rather die, frankly
Chloé: How unfortunate
Teddy: yeah, apparently so
Teddy: woe’s me
Chloé: Could be worse, you could be like your mother
Teddy: I fear I am, but as we aren’t family or friends, I shan’t confide in you
Chloé: Aw, do you wanna go to rehab too?
Chloé: Perhaps you can share a room when he ends up back there
Teddy: It would be a better getaway than the one you’ve booked
Chloé: You were meant to be childcare, it wasn’t for you
Teddy: When am I EVER childcare? Don’t be absurd
Chloé: The point is, you’re only here because he said I had to make an effort, even if he’s changed his mind the second we get here
Teddy: how pointless
Chloé: Tell me about it
Teddy: no, you’re taking your bad mood out on me & I’m very offended
Chloé: Go and cry to your mummy, I don’t have to be nice to any of you now
Teddy: Because you’re giving up, but I’m the pathetic one?
Chloé: I can’t make him stay, there’s nothing keeping him with me
Teddy: you’re the mummy, you have all the power
Chloé: He goes, he goes and gets a good lawyer
Chloé: failing that, I’m stuck with the kids and I don’t want them
Teddy: What lawyer is making his rehab stint go away? You haven’t had one, he’s a hopeless junkie on paper
Chloé: It’s all going wrong, it’s not worth the hassle anymore, he isn’t the same
Teddy: well, in that case, blow it up before he can
Teddy: tell everyone behind closed doors he’s off the wagon & you’re frightened of him
Chloé: You keep missing the fairly blatant point that I don’t want these fucking kids
Chloé: How does any of this help me, it doesn’t
Teddy: That’s what your parents are for & mine
Teddy: staff too, which he’s paying for when you rinse the family bank accounts
Chloé: Why do you hate him?
Teddy: I don’t
Chloé: Yeah right
Teddy: I’m helping you because no one else is going to
Chloé: Why?
Teddy: I hate my father & he’ll love this, being rid of you
Chloé: Why do you hate your father?
Teddy: He can’t stop attempting to run my life, it’ll be in ruins, like J & G’s if he has his way
Chloé: Your sister has a great life, James just likes being sad
Teddy: She’s about to marry an OAP, it’s embarrassing
Chloé: He’s rich, of course she is
Teddy: we’re richer, she could do better
Chloé: Then he has a massive cock, I don’t know
Chloé: She clearly likes him for some reason, she’s skinny, she could get anyone her own age if she wanted
Teddy: the reason is her blatant daddy issues
Chloé: Why do you care?
Teddy: I’m a laughing stock thanks to their bad choices
Chloé: Not your own, no?
Teddy: I don’t make any that terrible, no
Chloé: Debatable but you’re just a child, there’s time to forgive and forget
Teddy: Wash your mouth out with 🍹 I’m not a child
Chloé: Yes you are, you’re barely older than Jay
Teddy: she’s 4 & you’re being cruel
Chloé: Make yours a 🧃
Teddy: yours, for the sake of your hopefully undeformed second brat
Chloé: It would serve him right if I spoiled it but I’m not having my name attached to it
Teddy: your name isn’t, you gave it over to him during the doomed wedding
Chloé: Which your father wanted, actually, so why would he want rid of me now
Teddy: You don’t behave
Chloé: I’m not a child, I don’t have to
Teddy: It’s daddy’s world we all simply occupy space, or don’t soon, when it comes to you
Chloé: He’s weird, you’re all bloody weird
Teddy: unfortunately my mother started a trend of marrying beneath her that I alone am going to be exempt from
Chloé: Yeah, you can tell she’s inbred
Teddy: Aren’t your parents cousins? You’d never tell they weren’t closely related
Chloé: Says you, it’s not normal for a boy of your age to spend so much time with their mother
Teddy: Ha ha
Chloé: Funny weird not funny ha ha but that’s not your fault, entirely
Teddy: I have friends, would you like me to make you some?
Chloé: No, you have no taste and only know other toddlers
Teddy: suit yourself, be lonely
Chloé: I don’t need your help, you don’t even understand
Teddy: I take back my offer of, you underestimate me
Chloé: Oh, whatever, you’re just an annoyance
Teddy: Fine, I’ll keep the notebook
Chloé: You haven’t got it
Teddy: [photos of it to prove he has]
Chloé: Where is he? He never leaves it
Teddy: you aren’t deserving of the item or that info
Chloé: You can’t keep that from me, it’s my business
Teddy: you should’ve considered this possibility when you were being a bitch
Chloé: It’s not relevant to you, come on, I need to know or I can’t do anything
Teddy: it’s amusing & I have so little else to entertain me
Chloé: What do you want for it?
Teddy: shh, I’m reading
Chloé: Stop it, it’s not funny
Teddy: true, his writing style is very dry
Chloé: Just answer the question, for God’s sake
Teddy: I would, but I doubt you have anything I want, Chlo
Chloé: Ask and I’ll get it
Teddy: I can get things for myself by asking
Chloé: This isn’t a game
Teddy: For me, that’s 100% what it is
Chloé: I’ll tell him you took it then
Teddy: go ahead
Chloé: You’re not sharing, that means there’s nothing in it worth my time, so yeah, I will
Teddy: does it? Or am I a slow reader?
Chloé: You’re full of shit
Teddy: maybe, maybe these pages are full of quality blackmail
Chloé: You’re bluffing
Teddy: Ooh, let’s play poker, fantastic idea
Teddy: but first let me finish
Chloé: No
Teddy: bye-bye for now
Chloé: I’m serious
Teddy: Me too, I’m trying to concentrate
Chloé: What will it take for you to bring that here now
Teddy: as I said, I think you’re out of luck
Chloé: I’ll tell you the secret weapon, if you give that notebook to me
Teddy: How do I have the slightest guarantee you won’t snatch it & tell me something stupid, or nothing at all?
Chloé: You don’t, just like you’ve gone back on your word to get the book for me
Teddy: I swore I’d get it & I did, you started being mean first
Chloé: Because I’m heartbroken
Teddy: not by me, I’ve been super helpful
Chloé: No, not by you
Chloé: you can’t expect me to behave rationally at a time like this
Teddy: I don’t, I expect you to treat me as you’re asking to be treated
Chloé: Okay
Teddy: Okay, did that need to be SO hard?
Chloé: Hurry up
Teddy: be nice
Chloé: Come on
Teddy: nicer
Chloé: ⏱
Teddy: say please
Chloé: I’d rather say nothing
Teddy: that isn’t an option
Chloé: …
Chloé: See, easy
Teddy: I understand, you’ve changed your mind, you don’t care about the notebook after all
Chloé: Why are you like this?
Teddy: more importantly, why won’t you just say it?
Chloé: I don’t want to
Teddy: I don’t want to bring this to you, I guess I won’t
Chloé: But you do
Teddy: no, sorry
Chloé: It’s meaningless information to you, you can’t blackmail him, I already know and he’s already leaving
Chloé: I just want to hear the things he won’t say to me
Teddy: So say please & I’ll hand it to you
Chloé: You’re a dick
Teddy: you’re stalling, tick tock
Chloé: Please bring me the notebook now
Teddy: please, Teddy
Chloé: Fuck off
Teddy: gladly
Chloé: [when you’re going to have to snitch to get James to get it back, only to find out it’s in shorthand when you demand to read it from him]
Teddy: [we love to see a flop get thwarted, I just know Teddy has taken pics of every page but he’s too lazy to decode this/get someone to because not that invested]
Chloé: [so fuming now, the whole of this destination gonna know lol]
Teddy: [haha sucks to suck Chlo]
Chloé: [have a screaming match ‘cos you can’t get schwasted, soz James, at least you’re more in the mood for it than normal]
Teddy: [keeping it classy, Teddy there sipping his drink enjoying the show]
Chloé: [me like ma’am, your blood pressure, if this were a movie that baby would be flying out from the drama]
Teddy: [poor baby Mattie, but at least if Chlo makes herself ill and has to go to bed everyone will get a reprieve]
Chloé: If this baby dies it is entirely your fault
Teddy: I’m honoured
Chloé: You’re a sick little freak and I’ll sue you
Teddy: you don’t want it anyway, I’d be doing you a favour
Chloé: You don’t do anyone any favours
Teddy: we aren’t friends, I have 0 cause to
Chloé: You have 0 brain cells
Teddy: Rich coming from you
Chloé: Maybe but at least I don’t get pleasure from making people feel bad
Teddy: Yes you do, you’ve made it your full time job, for lack of a career or fulfilling your parenting duties, to destroy my brother
Chloé: No I don’t, I need him, I would never destroy him
Teddy: liar, you need him under your thumb
Chloé: I need him to look after me
Teddy: I’m honestly gobsmacked he has a functioning set to cheat on you with, though perhaps he doesn’t, she is famously drawn to pussy as well
Chloé: Someone should smack you, your ignorance is astounding
Teddy: Again, go ahead
Teddy: vanilla, but I don’t anticipate you’re anything other than
Chloé: You’re the one that’s all talk
Teddy: if you did more of it he might be turned on by you
Chloé: He’s not a sociopath like you, he cares about more
Teddy: He doesn’t care about you in the least anymore 💔
Chloé: I hope something terrible happens to you, immediately
Teddy: Karma adores me
Chloé: Something has to
Teddy: You should bite literally instead of this, another bedroom tip for you
Chloé: I don’t need tips from you
Teddy: you absolutely do
Chloé: I’ve told you, multiple times, that isn’t why he’s leaving
Teddy: I’m aware, he’s leaving because he’s found himself an upgrade in more ways than the one
Teddy: the tips are for securing hubby number 2
Chloé: Not for long
Teddy: it’s a fact, darling, face it
Chloé: When everything goes to shit, remember, it’s not even slightly for your benefit
Teddy: I’ll enjoy it nevertheless, thanks in advance
Chloé: Goodbye
Teddy: Bye, Chlo x
Teddy: [sending Ava a random page from this notebook not expecting her to actually recognise it, just to be a playful chaos demon]
Teddy: Does this mean anything to you?
Ava: What is that?
Teddy: I assumed as a future journalism student you’d recognise Shorthand, but maybe it’s a dying or dead ‘art’
Ava: It might be code, what on earth are you up to, I thought you were on a family holiday?
Teddy: Oh I am
Ava: What kind of games night…
Teddy: J is cheating on his wife, again
Teddy: predictable fireworks have ensued
Ava: Oh, that kind
Ava: Next flight home, is it?
Teddy: Hardly, she’s staying to the bitter end, her home having been fully wrecked
Ava: but what are you lot doing? 😬
Teddy: I told you, I’m enjoying the show
Ava: Teddy
Teddy: Ava?
Ava: If this is really the end, you can’t say that, have some decorum
Teddy: Why, her public screaming is displaying 0
Ava: Because it’s serious, if not sad or whatever, it’s still shitty
Teddy: seriously entertaining
Ava: You’re awful
Ava: what do your parents think?
Teddy: They’re a tad busy with their own preoccupations, as usual
Ava: Some things never change, comforting, I guess?
Teddy: anyway, I’ll leave you to yours
Ava: And what would that be
Teddy: I haven’t the slightest idea, revision probably
Ava: Right, you’re so astute, good luck with your codebreaking
Teddy: Bold of you to assume I’ll bother now it’s broken them up
Ava: That’ll hardly be the reason
Teddy: the final straw
Ava: I take it the kid hasn’t been left with you to be ‘entertained’ by it all, right?
Teddy: I don’t know where she is, with her other grandparents perhaps
Ava: Makes sense, trauma swerved
Teddy: I’d want to distance myself from my grown up daughter behaving like a toddler
Ava: I’m familiar with the antics, my family has it’s own
Teddy: How IS your sister? Do send her my love
Ava: Naturally, I’m sure she’ll remember who you are with some prompting
Teddy: I haven’t seen her since [some event that wasn’t long ago at all to be sarcastic and also extra cos we love Nancy], positively ages ago
Ava: Who can say how many boyfriends and hairstyles she’s cycled through since then, eh
Teddy: me too, naturally
Ava: 😏
Teddy: Holiday fling temporarily on hold though it may be
Ava: How could you possibly concentrate
Teddy: exactly & miss a moment, for who?
Ava: You’ll find that someone one day
Teddy: as long as I don’t write the world’s driest coded messages about them
Ava: You’re just mad you couldn’t snoop properly
Teddy: I had my fun when she was begging me to let her read it & the end result is the same coded or not
Ava: I would have killed you
Teddy: & how fun that would have been, but you never want to play along
Ava: I doubt it’s a game to your SiL
Teddy: He’s leaving her, she isn’t going to be any relation soon
Ava: You can do better, babe
Teddy: J can, somehow
Teddy: not that it’s difficult, but I really had thought him completely crushed, we all did
Ava: You’re glad for him?
Teddy: we needn’t go that far, but at least he’s out from under her [a designer boot or heel but in a shady way because Chlo has no taste]
Ava: Heaven forbid you get that close to sincerity
Teddy: I sincerely can’t blame him for not wishing to fuck her, it would certainly take a stronger stomach than J has
Ava: You famously fancy everyone, come on
Teddy: I do not
Ava: 😉
Teddy: letting yourself go to that extent at 21 is ludicrous
Ava: You’ll be looking for a childless fling then
Teddy: Always
Ava: A good rule
Teddy: knowing they’re already that fertile before I’ve been near them puts me on edge, I’d have to be careful & who wants that?
Ava: Who wants a Teddy Jnr?
Teddy: disgusting
Ava: That’s your birthday present sorted
Teddy: Now you want to seduce me, typical
Ava: Of course
Ava: I’ll get you the good kind
Teddy: I’m sure, thanks in advance
Ava: Make up your own code, make a list, could be fun
Teddy: I’m not lacking in it right now but I’ll bear the suggestion in mind
Ava: You’re such a voyeur, leave them alone
Teddy: No, don’t be such a bore
Ava: I’m embarrassed on your behalf right now
Teddy: don’t be, darling, you’ll be very lonely feeling like that
Ava: I’m not lonely
Teddy: & I’m yet to be embarrassed
Ava: Mhmm, you’re a medical miracle, or whatever
Teddy: You sound like my mother
Ava: 😂
Ava: Prince Teddy
Teddy: 🤴🏼
Ava: If the crown fits
Teddy: which it does
Ava: I’m surprised you would risk your hair, honestly
Teddy: Ha ha
Ava: I’m so serious, it looks like it must take you ages
Teddy: As if I would have the patience, please
Ava: Don’t worry, if anyone asks, it’s all effortless, naturally
Teddy: No one is going around asking questions they know the answer to
Ava: I think you overestimate some of our classmates
Teddy: okay, true
Ava: I heard [someone we are slightly shading here, soz] asking if the answer to question 2 on [an exam they’ve already done] was [something so horrifically wrong you’re like oh honey no]
Teddy: I can’t wait to see them for re-sits and bring that up
Ava: You could try 🤏
Teddy: Why?
Ava: We won’t have any classes together in September if you don’t get it sorted
Ava: We could revise but you’re there and I know your books are still at home
Teddy: The only revision I do would require you to seduce me & I’m under no illusion you seriously intend to
Ava: Sadly not
Teddy: So have no fun in September without me, while I have plenty
Ava: Rude
Teddy: It’s no one’s fault but your own
Ava: We’re meant to be friends
Teddy: Are we? Oh, that’s awkward
Ava: Yeah, yeah, asshole
Teddy: Always a pleasure, Ava
Ava: Do some revision, I beg
Teddy: Actually beg & I’ll of course consider it
Ava: You don’t reckon you can find someone there to seduce who’s actually smart enough to be of any use?
Teddy: don’t belittle yourself, you’re smart enough
Ava: I know I am
Teddy: that’s better
Ava: And you’re too smart to fail
Teddy: I know I am, but it isn’t about that
Ava: Isn’t it?
Teddy: passing grades aren’t going to upset anyone
Ava: You want to make it as hard as possible for your dad to get you back in for sixth form
Teddy: my motivation in life is to make things as hard as possible for him, it’s an easy spanner to throw in the works
Ava: Gotcha
Teddy: buy another puppy, or get a new closeted girlfriend to be your latest crusade, my exam results aren’t it
Ava: Do you not plan to unattach yourself from the pursestrings one day?
Teddy: Where’s the fun in that?
Ava: I guess so, can’t lose your reason to live
Teddy: I’d have to find a different one, imagine
Ava: Crazy
Teddy: absolutely
Ava: Revision calls
Teddy: 👋
Teddy: Ask me how the holiday’s going
Gia: I made my excuses for a reason…
Teddy: no, ask me
Gia: I don’t need to, get on with it
Teddy: play along
Gia: I am far too busy to babysit you
Teddy: I guarantee you aren’t too busy to listen to me
Gia: Teddy, hurry up, this is tedious
Teddy: G, it’s fantastic
Gia: Oh, he’s done it then, has he
Teddy: You knew?
Gia: James and I talk, like adults
Teddy: You do not, since when?
Gia: Since always
Gia: Well, is daddy pleased?
Teddy: He’s slightly preoccupied pawing girls your age at the bar, but when he comes up for air I’ll ask his thoughts
Gia: Characteristically bad timing as per but at least there will be no baby shower to power through
Teddy: You’re giving J, or your adult chats, a lot of credit
Teddy: I’ve sat through similar screaming before, we all have
Gia: He’s never brought it to our attention before, he obviously means it
Teddy: What did he say to you?
Gia: We were talking about Seb’s ex and lawyers and he said he may be in need of a good one
Teddy: He is, Chlo may be bluffing but she seems to believe she has some secret weapon
Gia: If brains were dynamite, she couldn’t blow her nose
Gia: Still, perhaps she’s a log of his indiscretions
Teddy: Or hers cast some doubt
Gia: Potentially
Gia: I’ll put James in contact with [the lawyer] for real
Teddy: Jay has to be his, but the unborn brat may not be, I highly doubt they’ve been near each other that often since the former
Gia: Well, who can bear to be in her company, it’s understandable
Teddy: He’s been hilariously indiscrete again
Gia: I imagine he wants to get caught
Teddy: She never leaves the house, fucking under her nose couldn’t be made any easier
Gia: Thank you, the rest of us have some pride
Teddy: It’s fear that prompts him, you & I both know that
Gia: I just mean that yours is the sort of plan only a 15-year-old would think even vaguely reasonable
Teddy: If he’d like to get caught he may as well put on a show
Gia: Stop being vulgar or I won’t continue this conversation
Teddy: You said it, Gia
Gia: No, I didn’t
Gia: She won’t get anything, none of it really belongs to them, it’s still all daddy’s, on paper, he made sure of that
Teddy: Please stop calling him daddy that’s much more vulgar & I can’t bear it
Gia: He’s my father I can call him that if I like, there’s nothing wrong with it, you’ve got a sick mind
Teddy: When you get married you’ll have to spare yourself the confusion
Gia: There is no confusion, I’m well-adjusted unlike you
Teddy: Your unfortunate future hubby is how many years away from dementia? He won’t have the first clue who you’re addressing on Sundays
Gia: You are so childish
Teddy: I am a child, allegedly
Gia: A very tiresome one, yes
Gia: whose brain is entirely more addled than Seb’s
Teddy: Hopefully our father’s if he receives another knockback from some girl just trying to sit unmolested with a cocktail
Gia: You’re truly such a fantasist
Teddy: he’s truly a deviant, it’s quite inspiring
Gia: No, he’s not
Gia: and you shouldn’t talk about him like that
Teddy: You shouldn’t be so quick to his defensive all the time, if he leaves mother & has more sons you’ll be even more unloved & unappreciated
Gia: He’s not going to leave her, they are not James and Chloé
Teddy: Only because mother is too heavily sedated to scream
Gia: By her own choosing
Teddy: you should say yes, they’re fantastic pills
Gia: Nothing about her lifestyle appeals
Teddy: Her inherited money appeals
Gia: Daddy has made it tenfold, by actually working
Teddy: He’s traded on her name to have any business contacts in the first place
Gia: You haven’t even passed your GCSEs yet, please don’t try to talk business
Teddy: You’re a girl, I could say the same to you, I’m sure the boardroom is full of men who try to
Gia: It isn’t, actually
Gia: Not all men are pigs like you choose to be
Teddy: it’s clear who I take after in those beliefs
Gia: That certainly fits the narrative you tell yourself
Teddy: good luck trying to erase the narrative whereby daddy dearest was thrilled to hear about your XX chromosomes
Gia: Is there a point to this?
Teddy: I was here to share good news, which you’re being a bore about
Gia: I already knew, James can confide in me
Teddy: Nobody can confide in you, don’t flatter yourself
Gia: Except he did
Gia: and I guarantee daddy likes me more than you now, so, keep trying with these lacklustre attempts, or don’t
Teddy: He asked for a lawyer’s phone number, he was hardly crying on your shoulder
Teddy: you’re his personal Google, that’s all
Gia: Why would I want him to cry on my shoulder?
Gia: You and mother are the ones who like to indulge in that sort of behaviour
Teddy: Because we’re not father’s little worker robot
Gia: She’s a gin-soaked cliche, I’d look for better role models
Teddy: Would you care to take on the role, as you have J’s confidante, despite him barely saying 2 words to you?
Gia: I wouldn’t
Teddy: I thought not
Gia: I have to deal with enough children
Teddy: If you’d date someone your own age it wouldn’t be a problem
Gia: I’m not looking for a life free of problems, this is the real world, you deal with the ones you’re faced with
Teddy: Which women's magazine gave you that hack advice?
Gia: Hilarious
Gia: I’m in love with Seb and I am going to marry him, you’ll have to get over it
Teddy: You’ll marry him, naturally, the rest is nonsense
Gia: No it’s not
Teddy: it is, you don’t love him
Gia: Yes I do, there’s no other reason to be with him
Teddy: Save your breath for needing to resuscitate him
Gia: Are you done?
Teddy: not while I still have some of my own, no
Gia: Why are we talking? This conversation has been fruitless
Teddy: Because you refused your invitation & aren’t here
Gia: I wonder why…
Teddy: Why didn’t you tell me, more importantly?
Gia: Because I don’t tell everyone’s business
Gia: that’s a nasty habit
Teddy: he’s our brother not a neighbour
Gia: He didn’t want anyone knowing until he was ready, which is entirely valid
Teddy: Oops, sorry
Gia: Clearly, his hand was forced
Teddy: by me
Gia: It would likely be her if not
Teddy: or his affair if it’s serious
Gia: It doesn’t matter, the girl has always been bad news, we’re all better off with her far, far away
Teddy: RIP, it was fun while it lasted
Gia: Not the word I would use
Teddy: You & J both love to use words I wouldn’t, it’s only fair
Gia: I dread to think how you’ll fare in your English exams
Teddy: dread is going to be the correct response
Gia: You should be studying
Teddy: no thanks
Gia: It’s entirely irresponsible for you to even be on that trip, why are you there
Teddy: For the fireworks
Gia: Go home, for goodness sake
Teddy: Perhaps, when I get the urge to throw a party
Gia: I can’t be bothered with this nonsense
Teddy: come on, G, you used to have a good time, long long ago
Gia: I have a good time, I’m just not a waste of space
Teddy: you are to me, so that’s subjective
Gia: Your opinion is irrelevant
Teddy: & yours is borrowed, you’re only lacking blue for the wedding, well done
Gia: There are many measures of success, unlike you, my own opinion of myself isn’t the one I focus on
Teddy: Yet you all try & force me down the same tired path
Gia: Please, what is your great idea
Teddy: it would be irrelevant, none of us care remotely for James’ scribblings unless they betray his latest girlfriend
Gia: It’s irrelevant because you don’t have one
Gia: If you had an idea that rivalled the salary, then you could follow that dream, otherwise daddy is just doing you a favour
Teddy: He’s a control freak
Gia: He can hand us all opportunities that we wouldn’t get by ourselves
Gia: You couldn’t handle not having money, trust me, so you do as you’re told and you get looked after
Teddy: I can’t concentrate in that office, how am I supposed to grin & bear it for the next 50 years?
Gia: You’ll learn
Teddy: What if I’m not smart enough?
Gia: You don’t try, Teddy, you could be if you tried
Teddy: or I could humiliate myself
Gia: This whole schtick isn’t not humiliating
Gia: He isn’t evil, there are different roles, levels
Teddy: He thinks I’m useless
Gia: He knows you’re not reaching your full potential, that’s all
Teddy: being the boss’ son doesn’t lend itself to [the lowest level of this company idk, but he genuinely does think that’s all he’s capable of doing at this point]
Gia: No one has to know, you’re focusing on other pursuits as well as, can’t take a more active role, there’s plenty of ways to talk around it
Teddy: No, this makes me feel stupid, I hate it
Gia: You have years, you haven’t finished your GCSEs yet, there’s at least 5 years for you to learn the things you need to
Teddy: you were already working there by then
Gia: Only as an intern, really
Teddy: & James would have if he wasn’t high constantly
Gia: but he was, so
Teddy: I’m a baby as far as our father is concerned, he’d sooner have Jay working at the company
Gia: You just need to prove yourself, it's an opportunity
Teddy: You don’t understand what it’s like
Gia: Obviously I do
Teddy: you can’t do any wrong in his eyes, it’s disgusting
Gia: I just try really hard
Teddy: & it makes you unhappy
Gia: No it doesn’t, it makes me very happy
Teddy: Please, you’re so unfulfilled & you couldn’t resent James more if you tried
Gia: Nothing makes me happier than working for our family company
Gia: I could work somewhere else, if I wanted, I have the skills
Teddy: oh Gia
Gia: Don’t condescend to me
Teddy: this is becoming depressing
Gia: I tried to help you when you were crying
Gia: don’t talk to me about depressing
Teddy: You aren’t helpful to anyone except our father & his propaganda
Gia: And he’s probably right about you, for the record
Teddy: no he isn’t
Gia: Yeah, he is
Teddy: shut up
Gia: Don’t worry, your tiny brain will find all the grunt work really rewarding
Teddy: As rewarding as you find his crumbs of praise, yeah
Gia: I get all the satisfaction I need in doing my job well
Teddy: you 2 are incestuous, it isn’t normal how many of your pleasure centres he activates, in your brain or otherwise
Gia: You have to make it a joke
Teddy: I’m not kidding, go to therapy
Gia: You’re the weirdo for even saying it
Teddy: no, it’s still you, you’re the subject of what I’m saying & I haven’t plucked it from thin air
Gia: You’re making it up to try and make me feel as bad as you
Teddy: Did he touch you or do you simply wish he would? We need to get to the bottom of this
Gia: I don’t want to hear about the things you think about
Teddy: let me stage this intervention, I’d like to help you
Gia: Whatever gay degeneracy this is, you can keep it to yourself
Teddy: I’ve been waiting for you to drop your hard g, as it’s obviously the only ‘weapon’ you feel you have
Gia: No one minds, no one’s disappointed, honestly
Teddy: I’m not gay, put your sequins away, truly
Gia: Right
Teddy: & effeminate is solely an insult to our parents generation, by the way, in case you were planning to go there next
Gia: If you say so, I told you, everyone accepts who you are
Teddy: Sadly, you’re stuck with the last real taboo, no parade for wanting your daddy to be your daddy
Gia: Normal people don’t need parades to feel good about themselves
Teddy: I don’t need a label for you to mock me with
Gia: It’s quite clear without one
Teddy: good, I’d hate to have to spell it out the way our father does when he’s eager to be balls deep in anyone but our mother
Gia: You’re so immature
Teddy: I’m yet to be 16, I’m unlikely to act your preferred age
Gia: There’s nothing preferential about you at all
Teddy: There’s nothing about you full stop, you’re empty
Gia: You don’t interest me, I don’t share anything with you
Teddy: There isn’t anything to share, all you do is work
Gia: That’s all you need to know
Teddy: besides keeping an old man alive until you’re firmly in the will, that’s all there is
Gia: If you like, you’ll never know the truth so live with your lies
Teddy: You’ve buried your truth so deep even you don’t know it, dear sister
Gia: You wouldn’t know it if it bit you on the nose
Gia: everyone knows how untrustworthy a liar you are
Teddy: it unsettles you that I live mine & see yours
Gia: Mhmm, that must be it
Teddy: Yes, I’m sorry for you though
Gia: If there is any figure of pity, it’s you and I wouldn’t even be that generous
Teddy: I’m conveniently right where you want me in order to point the finger at too, how neat & tidy that keeps everything
Gia: Your lacking is your own problem, and nothing but for everyone else
Teddy: Your opinion on what I lack is simply that, your point of view
Gia: We’ll soon have that backed up by your results, won’t we
Teddy: I’m afraid they aren’t for your benefit either
Gia: As you said, the disappointment isn’t going to come as any sort of surprise to our father, not from you
Teddy: The botox renders him incapable of such displays regardless
Gia: Then you’ll be fine
Teddy: My plan to derail his for me is well underway
Gia: As long as you don’t expect anyone to visit you in the gutter
Teddy: You’re too tedious of a guest, please don’t
Teddy: if anyone could ruin the ambience of rock bottom
Gia: I have no need of you in my life, if you don’t work for [the company] then we don’t need to see each other
Teddy: I’m dead to you if I don’t worship at the altar of our family business, it’s been noted
Gia: We have nothing to discuss, all this is unnecessary
Teddy: You’re unnecessary
Gia: Says the spare
Teddy: I’m not the one devastated with my place
Gia: Just your inability
Teddy: I could do something about that, learn & try as you said
Teddy: you’ll never be a real boy, Gia, he’ll never love you the most
Gia: Could you
Teddy: Of course I could, James has an office & his brain is drug-addled
Gia: Mhm
Teddy: I have years, your words of consolation, you have no way of ever proving yourself
Gia: And time will tell
Teddy: I could sleepwalk into James’ role were I inclined
Gia: Yes, you claim to be able to do lots of things you have never and will never do
Teddy: Because I have no interest in doing them
Gia: Right, super believable
Teddy: believe what you want, you’re obviously delusional in terms of your own life
Gia: Sure
Teddy: You’ll find out what I’m capable of
Gia: Boring me to tears seems to be the extent
Teddy: You can’t cry, who are you trying to fool?
Gia: I don’t pride myself on it
Teddy: well no, psychological damage isn’t a source of
Gia: Tell yourself
Teddy: sorry mine’s better than yours
Gia: Yours is imagined and contrived, like every facet of your personality at this point
Teddy: But I have a personality, unlike you
Gia: Effeminate fantasist counts, sure
Teddy: Excuse me while I change my bio across the board
Gia: Goodbye
Teddy: [me loling cos he is going to change his insta info and everything, oh Teddy]
Gia: [my boo says oh you card]
Teddy: [makes me laugh that they always dramatically beef as well, regardless of the starting point]
Gia: [the way she hates y’all lmao]
Teddy: [I don’t blame her remotely, but we should probably post this and do java when we wake up]
