Janis & Jimmy
Janis: [Okay, so 'punishment' of cleaning everyone's rooms, like 1. you've been here a night, so how messy is anyone's gonna be 2. we're here for a long weekend vibe, does it need to be clean even as long as it is before you go, like? 3. you've left them alone without effectively any supervision when they being punished for canoodling, like alright lads lmao] Jimmy: What kind of bollocks paddy punishment is this? Jimmy: barely started and I've got 🚬 and 💰💰 Janis: the 'can't be arsed' variety Janis: nice Janis: only found some pocket change so far but saving the best rooms 'til last Jimmy: race you Jimmy: only need 💊 and 🥃 to have the ☠ full set Janis: alright, you're on Janis: what pills count though, important info, not agreeing if you're counting paracetamol, like Jimmy: You're the expert Janis: you what Jimmy: from 💀👑's shit stirring mouth to my ears Janis: she'll LOVE that you listen, I'm sure Jimmy: properly well trained, me Jimmy: go ahead and tweet that whenever you like, mate Janis: if you wanna make her jizz her pants, easier ways than using my feed for it Jimmy: yeah, that's TOTALLY what I want, obvs Janis: 🚬💰💊 and 🥃 first, I heard Janis: speaking of, how morally dubious is it to take Helena's meds? Jimmy: I'll keep the 🍫🍪🍬 I just found in my pockets, make it easier to fake that I'm pleased to see her Jimmy: reckon you're morally obligated to take 'em, Jesus is the only dickhead who saves Janis: 🐖 you, running through these halls Janis: I'll take 2, feeling generous, not greedy, unlike SOME Jimmy: Come get a 🍪 and save me from myself 😇🥇 Janis: if that's a nickname you wanna go with, I'll need 2, tah Jimmy: Alright Jimmy: 🐖💕 Janis: no, that's you Jimmy: I ain't the one with a 🍪 in each hand Janis: your pockets are just full, fatty Jimmy: Oi, I'm pleased to see you, Joanne Janis: not fooling me Janis: in on the secret, remember Jimmy: bit busy chucking water on Kieran's bed any road Janis: 😏 Janis: more like it Jimmy: I'll take my 🏆 full of 🥃 if you find owt Janis: I'll be SURE to let you know when I do 🤞🤞 Jimmy: you do owe me Jimmy: it were your fault it got taken off us Janis: How do you figure that? Jimmy: Who left it on top of the wardrobe for any dickhead to 👀? Janis: oh, where did you expect me to put it mid-performance? Jimmy: I wouldn't have let you sit on it if you'd left it where it were, not a kink Janis: 😂 you're DISGUSTING Jimmy: who's bed should I put this in? Jimmy: [a pic of the bra that I'm stealing from the OG convo] Janis: put it in Ben's Janis: his bird will lose her shit the hardest, be hilarious Jimmy: Which one's he? Janis: come find you and show you Janis: not actually told me what room you're in so Jimmy: do you wanna know? Janis: you mean am I having fun playing hide and seek? Jimmy: it's a valid question Janis: are you having fun then? Jimmy: Where's your answer? Janis: 🔍 Jimmy: ⏲ Janis: more fun than the bullshit activity they're all doing, no doubt Jimmy: There you go then, if you're happy, I'm happy, baby 💕 Janis: 🙄👏 Janis: screenshotted Jimmy: reckon we can do better than that if you ever find me, but alright Janis: long as it's not bragging about our crimes, can't be those idiots Jimmy: but what if our crime were fucking on 💀👑 or 💀#2 bunks? Janis: well, depending how graphic, that can definitely be posted, 'course Jimmy: only to her if it spares your 😳 Janis: Show me a point I've given a fuck Jimmy: You ain't talking to her and her receipt keeping minions, soz Janis: Exactly Jimmy: Where the fuck are you? Janis: was trying something, no cigar though Janis: you in their room then? one sec Jimmy: Go on, disappoint me, what couldn't you do? Janis: get in the teacher's rooms, they've got locks 😢 Jimmy: you can't break 'em? Hang on 💪🏆 Janis: [turns up and finds him, throwing whatever cigarettes and lighters she's found at him 'cookies, please'] Jimmy: [when he was gonna find her and vandalise the teacher's locks so they lowkey nearly bump into each other but he chucks the cookies at her before there's a #moment] Janis: [just nom-ing like there isn't a vibe, as per 'was saving their room 'til last, bet there's loads of rich girl shit'] Jimmy: [brushing a cookie crumb off her face with his thumb and then putting said thumb in his mouth to get said crumb 'gotta show me Ben's first'] Janis: [just stopping dead in your tracks for a hot sec there like you were stopping yourself running into his arm but that ain't why, nods 'he deserves it'] Jimmy: [we just walking so casually to this lad's room to fuck up his relationship lol] Janis: [soz not soz, whoever you are] Jimmy: [go and do #bragate and look through his shit lads] Janis: [the state these rooms gonna lowkey be in, so much worse than before] Jimmy: [I vote he should have some booze of some description so they have it when they go to Mia's room cos gonna be in there a while] Janis: [I concur] Jimmy: [when you shrug at her once you're done like anywhere we've missed cos should save hers til last] Janis: [points out the rooms she did so they can work out if they've missed any between 'em] Jimmy: [likewise tells her the ones he did and maybe they have missed one and there's nothing good but they can have an actual race to Mia's that she obviously wins] Janis: [😏 as we snooping with reckless abandon] Jimmy: [chucks some 🍬s at her with gold wrappers in place of a 🥇] Janis: ['you're buzzing to lose, remember' looks at the beds pointedly, then carries on going through their bags] Jimmy: [lights a 🚬 because fuck you ladies] Janis: ['what about me?' so #offended] Jimmy: [gives her a look like I didn't think you'd want one cos you're such an athlete but comes over and lights one for her, putting it in her mouth and everything cos always gotta be flirty about it] Janis: ['one ain't gonna get me as fucked as you, cute though, concern and that'] Jimmy: [makes a moment™ out of putting some of the ones they found into her pocket as well as his lighter that she was playing with before, not just a random spare and goes to lie down on the bottom bunk for a bit] Janis: [just leaves him be for a while, keeping busy over here, all casual, all fine, eventually, 'if you're going sleep, do your best to look cute so I can take some creepshots 'fore I piss off'] Jimmy: [just having his lil sulk cos he lost 'weren't the plan, that' and pats the bed beside him in his best attempt at creepy but then starts putting out all the shit he found to look through it] Janis: [best 😬 but goes over and adds her haul] Jimmy: [cracks open the booze whatever it is and takes a massive swig before passing it to her] Janis: [doing the same, throwing those two tablets out on the bed, like, offer is there 'she must be fucked up' shrugs 'decent shit'] Jimmy: [sharing everything else out like actual couple goals but leaving them cos he ain't that bitch] Janis: [when you ain't either so that's a #relief tbh] Jimmy: [lifts the pillow and puts them under cos that gal is gonna notice her meds are gone so might as well try and frame these bitches] Janis: [so into that it's not even funny lol] Jimmy: [then nudges her like which bed do you think is Mia's cos that's the one you wanna fake fuck on if you're doing only one] Janis: ['how's either of them getting up there, honestly' put gets up and peers for clues 'think this is Ella's, the PJs are negative sized, Mia wishes'] Jimmy: ['she wishes she were a top an' all'] Janis: ['so you are gay then' 😏] Jimmy: [😏 and chucks loads of 🍬🍫 up onto Ella's bed so either she'll be triggered or Mia will think they're hers and be mad or both] Janis: [gonna say you got some laxatives I'm flushing gals, along with pouring whatever expensive perfume/foundation etc down the loo, at least half of so you can't prove it 'cos it's not empty] Jimmy: [love that] Janis: [you both know you're delaying what you said you'd do though] Jimmy: [I'm literally sitting here thinking if there's a way we could let them actually hook up rn for the sheer #mood of it all without ruining everything lol] Janis: [like you could, and then pretend it didn't happen, maybe?] Jimmy: [that's what I'm thinking like if you both act like you're carried away by getting one over on Mia and drunker than you are, I just think it'd add to the weird dynamic and headfuck of it all if they did] Janis: [it's in character for her so if it is for him, we can] Jimmy: [like we know he wants to and would so as long as they both commit to acting like it didn't happen I think we can get away with it] Janis: [we doing it, gonna have to start talking if you're gonna get there though, lads] Jimmy: [lbr it'd we weirder if they didn't hook up at this point cos they always go too hard for the 'camera' and they don't have sod all clothes on yet again so they're gonna feel EVERYTHING when they're making out and dry humping all over each other, it'd literally only take something like that thing he does where he tries to say words and it comes out as a full moan to tip them over this precarious edge] Janis: [exactly, it only doesn't happen in this scenario if one of you is the type to say no for reasons or you don't actually fancy each other but you clearly do so] Jimmy: [we setting up both phones for all the angles as if you're not gonna forget about that immediately] Janis: ['least bottom bunk makes for #moodlighting, I guess'] Jimmy: ['more of a challenge to for us to break it though' because I remember in the OG convo they lowkey dismantled her bed and they should do that here because funnier] Janis: ['as long as you keep the top from squashing me with your giant head' we deffo should, a mood] Jimmy: [squishes her face like aw baby I will protect you, you small egg] Janis: [goes to smack his but as per, not actually lmao] Jimmy: [little playfight/pillow fight to get this tension going] Janis: [points if you can beat the stuffing out of these pillows] Jimmy: [you gotta lads and also leave your empty booze bottle hidden about in the hopes they get blamed for that too] Janis: [when neither of you are cool enough to party this hard, welcome for the rep boost hoes] Jimmy: [1000% living for the prospect of Mia getting in trouble with her dad though bye] Janis: [hahahahaaaaaha #disappointeddaddy] Jimmy: [that's a pisstaking # they need to use fr] Janis: [speaking of the socials, making sure there's Mia things in the background so you can start taking these shots like they bitch] Jimmy: [not actually stalling that time, it's genuinely important] Janis: [tis why we're here, currently, anyway] Jimmy: [crack on doing the most, you know you gotta go even harder than you did during the last photoshoot purely to annoy these hoes yep] Janis: [the level anything beyond making out/lovebites is unpostable, like do you need all these angles and different poses? nope but here we are] Jimmy: [like even if you just DMed them to her to ruin her ability to sleep in that bed you still don't need to go this hard lads] Janis: [could let her do the legwork lmao, we see you] Jimmy: [I love you two and your flimsy excuses so much] Janis: [hence this is so stretch] Janis: *NO Jimmy: [imagine if he'd fake dated some gal who literally only wanted to do the bare minimum] Janis: [an actual prude or the one girl that didn't fancy him] Jimmy: [he thought Janis didn't for a bit there LOL] Janis: [she got eyes honey] Jimmy: [LORD the eye contact rn don't even] Janis: [looking away when you literally cannot and ruining a shot or something neither of you actually care about but] Jimmy: [and kissing when you also cannot so your eyes get to be closed because you're not psychos] Janis: [literally running out of skin for lovebites] Jimmy: [hence you gotta hardcore make out and once you start you can't stop] Janis: [away we go] Jimmy: [this is simultaneously the best and worst idea lads, love it] Janis: [knocking those phones down 'cos do not need that in your life, even if we pretending this is that spontaneous] Jimmy: [accidentally recording their first time that they are gonna pretend didn't happen is not the one] Janis: [because Rio is your sister, purely, which is why she said no to being in the ad 'cos she thought he was being a dick and everyone else would] Jimmy: [I didn't even think about that in relation to the ad, oh boo you so smart] Janis: [hohaha] Jimmy: [if you two have been shook by how into each other you are, just you wait until after this 🔥 first time] Janis: [have fun downplaying this lmao] Jimmy: [god it's gonna be so awkward, at least we can have a teacher show up to take them to the next activity whenever we need] Janis: [when you can't separate 'cos the image but you can tell you being more distant and actually fake] Jimmy: [the next activity was trust falls and a blindfolded assault course which I think we should still do but we should do it different by saying they aren't allowed to work together for it cos bad eggs which they would hate despite the awks cos they both have trust issues and would be shamelessly jealous of the boy and girl the other is doing it with] Jimmy: [plus it makes more sense for the next bit cos in the OG they just went back on it later when nobody else was about and like he challenged her to do it better cos she was the blindfolded one I think and that's how she twisted her ankle which led to the fake injury but if they weren't allowed to do it together then it's more logical that all that would happen] Janis: [well done boo, fully approve] Jimmy: [yeah she was all like I could do it by myself I don't need you which can still be a thing but there's even more of a vibe this way] Janis: [a mood, lord knows who you're having to do this with first time around] Jimmy: [I think she should have to do it with Ben whoever he is for the lols] Janis: [oh ben, as long as your gf doesn't think it's her bra 'cos lmao] Jimmy: [we should give him Asia since they didn't do that project together this time] Janis: [she will probably drop you god speed] Jimmy: [we should say she does so Janis has to be all #concerned which is awks after what just happened] Janis: [after #caring for him] Janis: memorize that course before you do it Janis: no chance she knows left from right Jimmy: I ain't that thick, tah, I'll make her be the one to do it Janis: revenge, right Jimmy: you're alright, in well safe hands, you Janis: yeah, his girlfriend is neurotic, had practice Jimmy: safe hands til she gets hers on you then Janis: if I have to threaten to smack her too, I will Jimmy: 😍😍😍 Janis: just don't wanna be dropped on my arse like you Jimmy: I get it, ain't gonna be a soft landing Janis: just don't like looking like a twat Jimmy: you'll look well fit and mysterious in that blindfold, mate, TOTALLY on brand Janis: obvious kink but alright Jimmy: long as it ain't Ben's Jimmy: 🐇🔪🍳 Janis: if it is she'll be blind too tryna win back his attention, not concerned Jimmy: 👍 Janis: need some 🧊? Jimmy: can only give me the cold shoulder on your own time, Judith Janis: haha Jimmy: hang in there, baby Jimmy: 😂 so you don't 😭 Janis: be able to hide 'em behind the mask Janis: your 'look' makes sense now Jimmy: Busted Janis: 🤐 Jimmy: you're gonna keep my secret? SO romantic that Jimmy: my trust has been fully restored, like Janis: not very goals Janis: you crying all the time Jimmy: works for sir Jimmy: he's having one now Janis: Ben's very capable and we're all feeling a type of way about it Jimmy: Capable of getting you sent to sick bay in some weird accident they'll use to warn dickheads not to piss about on school trips Jimmy: won't dry my eyes so I look 💔 Janis: I get it, you're feeling sore Janis: 🍑hurt Jimmy: I get it, you're the only one who's allowed to make me feel like that Jimmy: you're alright, I'll fake that I ain't Jimmy: we'll still be #goals Janis: bit late for that Jimmy: 💪🏆 me Janis: not with that braindeadweight Jimmy: Challenge accepted, sweetheart Janis: unless the race is to first aid, you've got no chance Jimmy: that's you Jimmy: but Ill let you wear my 🥇 if you ask nicely Jimmy: 💕 Janis: 🙄 even less chance of that Jimmy: 💔🎻 Janis: poor boy Jimmy: Alright Mia, have you know I found loads of 💰 a bit ago Janis: shared it with me Janis: you ain't heard how the rich stay rich? Jimmy: I ain't afraid to pull my weight Jimmy: or teach you owt you don't know Jimmy: and you still ain't sorted out how to do cute so Janis: fuck off haven't I Jimmy: Have you? Jimmy: Don't count if you're using it on Ben Janis: not my fault they separated us Jimmy: how do you work that out? Janis: don't start again Janis: we both got in trouble that was the point Jimmy: Or what? You'll piss off with Ben to first aid Jimmy: crack on Janis: yeah, obviously Janis: this is stupid, you said you didn't care about getting in trouble, so don't moan at me now Jimmy: you said you didn't either so take your share of the blame, dickhead Jimmy: weren't being 😎🥇 on my own Janis: how am I not? Janis: you're trying to put it all on me for no reason Jimmy: nowt's your fault, you just said Jimmy: 😇 you Janis: that ain't what I said Jimmy: what I read Janis: whatever Janis: fact remains there's no time to be cute right now Jimmy: [does something cute to prove the point that there always is] Janis: go away Jimmy: 😘 Janis: 🖕 Jimmy: very cute Jimmy: you're right, you're smashing it Janis: there's no need Jimmy: don't sound like a cop out at all, that Janis: what, what do you want me to do Janis: because they chase around after boys, and that's sad, not goals Janis: I'm doing my part right Jimmy: nowt to get worked up about then, is there? Jimmy: sort yourself out, girl Janis: literally do one Jimmy: LITERALLY stop crying, meant to be on brand for me, not you Janis: [you need to ignore him gal] Jimmy: [take a time out Jimothy, we know why you're being a dickhead but it's still rude] Janis: [oh the drama] Jimmy: [do your best to get Asia round this course, we know it's gonna be a shitshow] Janis: [oh gal] Jimmy: [we should say they go back on their own when everyone's on lunch, it makes sense] Janis: [we gonna need to propose that but yes] Jimmy: [gotta be alone for that dramaaaaa] Janis: [wandering off 'cos cannot be bothered to do this lunch moment right now] Jimmy: ? Janis: can have a 🚽break, can't we Jimmy: long as you do it before so 💀👑 don't get her hopes up that you're joining the ranks Janis: don't need to, do I Janis: why you think she hates me Jimmy: I'm going for a 🚬 then, come find me if you wanna go in Janis: don't you need bed rest Jimmy: bit rude for a come on Jimmy: don't really get me going if you slag off my stamina Janis: it's a, let's not go in, plea, if anything Janis: say what you want for mine, I can't be arsed yet Janis: stressful enough training Ben for the past, however long Jimmy: Alright Jimmy: come have a 🚬 Janis: alright Jimmy: you not hungry?

Janis: I could Janis: but maybe I want you to lay down in the dirt and 💀💀💀 Jimmy: Stop flirting with me Janis: you wish Jimmy: for 💀💀💀? Duh Janis: then go on then Janis: find a blindfold substitute Jimmy: always trying to get my clothes off, you Janis: maybe it makes you more interesting Jimmy: you waiting for me to disagree or what? Janis: dunno if bighead or 💔 Jimmy: while you're pissing about 🤔 I'm actually waiting for you here Janis: awh Janis: one of us has to, babe Janis: hold on Jimmy: funny and clever, fuck me, full package you are, girl Janis: DUH Janis: closest you're gonna get Janis: didn't know people as thick as Asia genuinely existed Jimmy: modest an' all Jimmy: her parents must be northern, giving her a name like that is a dead giveaway Janis: guess what her sisters are called Jimmy: Arabia and Altrincham, obvs Janis: truly not that far off Janis: America, another continent kinda, alright, then they realize they've run out so China Janis: 🎻 she'll have such a complex that one Jimmy: 💔 their last name ain't White Janis: 😏 Janis: [show up from wherever you've been freaking] Jimmy: [lights her a 🚬 cos she said she wanted one] Janis: [smoking that as we walk to this assault course] Jimmy: [keeping it casual and not at all awkward] Janis: [the vibe] Jimmy: [get to this assault course and immediately start messing about boy cos you're so 💪 obvs] Janis: [🙄 but using this 🚬 as an excuse to sit and 👀 on the low] Jimmy: [when you come and sit by her after a bit but that not close because you obviously are so unbothered] Janis: [shakes head 'stamina, who?'] Jimmy: [push her cos 1. oi 2. you have a go then] Janis: [gesturing to her cigarette like excuse me 'such a slave driver, you'] Jimmy: [takes it off her and takes a drag like well you've got no excuse now] Janis: [ugh-ing about it but going, without the blindfold moment first] Jimmy: [👀 shamelessly] Janis: [doing it backwards 'cos show-off like see, so easy] Jimmy: [such a sarcastic slow clap 'close your eyes and have a crack at it'] Janis: [🖕 'I remember being the one who did it well the first time, not you' ] Jimmy: ['weren't the fastest though, were you?' a fake sympathetic face cos at least Asia was one of the worst so like they fucked up the best #soreloserlogic] Janis: ['only because Sam and Lewis are so close they're like telepathic, not fair'] Jimmy: ['first place or nowt, baby' cos he's pretending that he's so fine with the nowt because Asia just to wind Janis up like she's yet again crying] Janis: ['for you, maybe' L on the forehead moment] Jimmy: ['don't need telepathy to know you're -' 💔 mime 'and they ain't about now, what's your next excuse gonna be?'] Janis: [just doing this like fuck you boy] Jimmy: [putting a timer on his phone and waving said phone at her] Janis: [that phone lowkey your enemy, so shaming you have to fall al soz about that] Jimmy: [when you're so genuinely scared that she might be hurt that you can't be a dick about it and literally rush over to help her up] Janis: [we are so fuming boy watch out] Jimmy: [just looking at her like ARE YOU OKAY TELL ME because very concerned] Janis: [when you're so stubborn and 😤 just hobbling away like no good day] Jimmy: [catching up to her easily obvs and trying to force her to lean on you for support/ go sit for a sec] Janis: ['I'm fine!'] Jimmy: ['stop being a dickhead, you'll fall again'] Janis: ['I wasn't being a dickhead, that's you'] Jimmy: ['you are now' helping her whether she likes it or not] Janis: ['don't talk to me'] Jimmy: [picks her up and takes her to where they were sitting before without saying a word of course and puts her leg up on him because you're meant to elevate it] Janis: [just grumbling about how ridiculous this is, but mostly to self] Jimmy: [just giving her time to calm down cos obvs he's gonna take her back but not til she's ready cos they might have to see people] Janis: [give you some time gal, then you just sat there pouting but not as seething] Jimmy: [taking her shoe off for her really gently because you don't know how much it hurts or not/if it's gonna swell up and you know she's not gonna tell you how bad it is or isn't] Janis: ['alright, perv' but we winced a bit so you know it does hurt some] Jimmy: [😏 but his 👀 are worried] Janis: ['at least I don't have to do any more activities' but low-key annoyed about that like why am I here lmao] Jimmy: ['they'd have to let me help you, if you insisted you did wanna do 'em' because same vibe as when they talked him back onto activities after they sent him to his room, we know what teachers be like 'could be very goals'] Janis: [shrugs 'guess so' leaning forward to inspect your foot yourself 'you just don't wanna be left alone with Asia'] Jimmy: [playfully nudges her but we all know it turns into that feelsy lean they do] Janis: [letting it be but you are the one to shrug him off 'it's not that bad' sighs 'no excuse to talk to Mia's dad, still'] Jimmy: [can't help a little genuine amused smile 'have to fake it's loads worse' when you're joking for the benefit of Mia's dad rn but that is what they're gonna do lol] Janis: ['why not? LOVE sympathy, like'] Jimmy: [gives her a look like are you serious or nah cos we could] Janis: [we thinking about the potential benefits here like hmm 'taking away attention for #2 has it's appeal, sure'] Jimmy: ['and I can do sympathy in a way you'll like' when that sounds way saucier than you meant it to] Janis: [lols like that is purely bants and such a horrific prospect you haven't even considered it at all seriously 'I won't like it, but they'd LOVE it, so it's worth doing'] Jimmy: [shrugs like that's what you meant anyway] Janis: [shrugs back like you suggested it don't get moody with me] Jimmy: [shakes his head because he's not and he doesn't wanna fight with her rn but then picks her back up and carries her away before she can potentially pick a fight, only stopping when they get back to be like gesturing with his head do you wanna go in the direction of the lunch room and put on a show IRL or the sickbay to put on a show via posts on socials or her room to do none of those things] Janis: [gesture for the sickbay, 'cos it's more dramatic and you still don't wanna go do the lunch room rn for all the reasons] Jimmy: [we taking her and getting her some ice with a playful look because of how she took the piss out of him saying he needed some earlier] Janis: [grump 😒] Jimmy: [when you can actually do the pouty lip kiss thing for the first time because we gotta do socials posts] Janis: [when that's too much of a mood] Jimmy: [we're all dying and wanting to die] Janis: [doing it again purely 'cos you mad, not so he has to do that again, nah] Jimmy: [does do it again though because that hook up was no time ago and we're very much not over it] Janis: [I highly doubt there's a nurse, just someone who comes to do your first aid then bounces so you know, get into it] Jimmy: [fully just having a makeout sesh that you literally have no excuse for] Janis: [we need to, tbh] Jimmy: [I'm loling because it reminds me of when Ali twisted her ankle going up the mountain cos she was so 😍 for Carly especially because of all the posts he's gonna do on socials to milk this, suck it Ella, nobody cares that you got 'hurt']] Janis: [lmao, it is like that, soz you can't regale us like a cringe mum 'cos not on them good terms currently even though you'd all be slightly better 'cos your mum really held it down for all y'all soooo, yeah not even Mia cares, HOW MUCH DOES THAT HURT] Jimmy: [at least Janis can let Jimothy do all the work posting cos you so injured babe and he can be busy with that so y'all don't hook up again] Jimmy: [though would make lol if you two went insta live from sick bay] Janis: [Q&A 'bout the situation lmao go off] Jimmy: [everyone has a million questions about your everything rn we know] Janis: [and we need to feel like we back on top of faking this, right] Jimmy: [mhmmm] Janis: [going through her phone beforehand to see if there's any burning Qs] Jimmy: [when you just chuck her yours cos cba and also got that trust™] Janis: [🙄 'you do your share of the work, yeah?' 😏] Jimmy: [🙄 but you hold your hand out for your phone back cos #whipped] Janis: [shakes head, shows him Ben's girlfriend popping off 'cos that bitch like LOL] Jimmy: [pats her on the back IRL like good job babe cos genuinely amused] Janis: ['gutted I ain't gonna get him without a fight, obviously'] Jimmy: ['if you can't take her on with one good leg, you don't deserve him'] Janis: [😲 'how dare you'] Jimmy: ['I dare 'cause I don't give a shit, remember'  yeah okay Jimothy we know you're a rebel without a cause calm down 'nowt's too much trouble'] Janis: ['put it on your business card you now know how to make'] Jimmy: [😏 'nice bit of labour red font, and what do you know, colour of blood an' all, proper on brand that'] Janis: ['have to try again if you want to draw blood, bastard'] Jimmy: ['and you'll have to ask nicer if you want me to join your ranks, vampire girl'] Janis: ['think not, hot topic'] Jimmy: ['What the fuck is hot topic?' he's genuinely like ?] Janis: [😂 and not telling him like look it up and feel the burn on your own time, boy] Jimmy: [poking her which turns to tickling her like tell me] Janis: [shall never even if we reinjure ourselves rn] Jimmy: [casually a good place to start the stream though like oh are we live already oops we're just here living our best lives] Janis: [having a better time than all of y'all always] Jimmy: [making sure to lowkey be nursing her through this stream cos she's oh so injured and he's oh so attentive #hoesbejealous] Janis: [fight every instinct you have girl, pretend you loving it and be SO appreciative] Jimmy: [we making it look so casual like oh lemme prop your ankle up a little more, lemme get you another pillow for your head, lemme get you some water, no it's okay you answer this question brb] Janis: [#anatural because you raising your siblings that's the tea, LOVE to know how these questions are going] Jimmy: [that is the tea even if she's lowkey like why's he so good at this the weirdo #kinks] Jimmy: [but we know this is going brilliantly cos they are both funny fucks and bringing the chemistry] Janis: [yeah you have no idea beyond how he portrays himself as being so good at all this stuff and you can't question that without outing yourself so you shan't obvs] Janis: [probably a solid mix of bitchiness and perviness tbh] Jimmy: [when lunch can't last

that if you want though?] Jimmy: [why not, amp up the tension and sexy mood a bit further lol] Janis: [my thoughts exactly] Jimmy: [like we know he's fake nursing her again but the #mood is a very

Chapter 5 - Return
Sometime in the night, Rae shot up with a gasp, drenched in sweat, and breathing hard. She wasn’t sure where she was, and the panic pumped quickly through her veins. Was she back at her house? Where was her father? Was it a dream? Tears sprung to the corners of her eyes, unable to pinpoint her location.
She heard rustling a few feet away and a lamp clicked on, illuminating the room in a dull light and forcing the demons away. Her wide eyes darted around the room and landed on Two-Bit, who was sitting up in bed, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Slowly, realization spread over her.
“Rae? You okay?” he asked, uncovering himself and making his way to check on her. “You screamed.” She nodded, blinking fast, and took a few deep breaths to calm her pounding heart.
“Just a-a dream, I think,” she said, wiping the water from her eyes with the heel of her palm.
“Can I get ya anythin’? A glass of water or somethin’?”
“Yeah, sure,” she whispered, still a little breathless. He left the room and she shoved out of the jacket she was still wearing. Shit, she was boiling.
By the time he returned from the kitchen, glass in hand, Rae’s breathing had evened out and she was slouched on his couch, waiting. She sat up when he entered the room and pushed her damp hair out of her face with one hand. Two-Bit handed her the glass and she drained it, feeling the cool liquid slide down her throat. He sat down on the couch, next to her.
“Tell me about it?”
“I don’t- I don’t really remember,” she admitted, laying her head back. “But I can guess.” He nodded in understanding.
“Do you-,” he started, but hesitated. She tilted her head in his direction. “You can sleep in my bed if you want. No funny business, I promise.”
Rae huffed a laugh and looked back up at the ceiling. “Nah, thanks Two-Bit. I think I’ll be okay.”
“Alright,” he said, standing to head back to his bed. He took the glass from her hands and set it on his nightstand. “Offer’s always on the table if ya change your mind.” She nodded a thanks as he settled back down. Once he was comfortable again, he clicked the light off. She slumped back onto the pillow and covered her eyes with one hand. A few hot tears streamed down her cheeks and she clenched her teeth, willing them to stop. She took one more deep breath and tried to settle back down. She wished this feeling would just fucking go away already.
When Rae opened her eyes again, the room was bright and there was a buzzing coming from the nightstand next to Two-Bit’s bed. When her eyes adjusted to the morning light, she sat up and looked over to Two-Bit's bed. He was lying flat on his back, long hair an absolute mess, obviously not hearing his own alarm.
She threw her pillow at his face, which seemed to rouse him.
"What time is it?" he asked her, his voice thick with sleep. Finally, he heard the alarm and shut it off. “Sor-,” he said yawning, and rubbing his scalp. “-ry.” It was contagious, making her yawn as well.
“What’s with the alarm?”
“Monday, kid. School day.
Ugh. School. Right.
"We should be headin’ out soon." With a groan, she grabbed her backpack and headed towards the bathroom to change.
When Rae came out, she was wearing a fresh outfit with her long hair tamed, pulled over one shoulder. She carried her backpack back to Two-Bit's room as he was slipping his leather jacket on over a clean, blue Mickey Mouse t-shirt. Rae dropped her bag on his couch and slipped her own jacket on. He glanced into his mirror to make sure his sideburns wer perfect. While she waited, she started thinking about her homework and what was due today-
"Shit!" she cursed. “Shit-shit-shit-shit-” He lowered his comb from his head and turned to her, confusion on his face. "My books are at the house," she replied to his un-asked question. “My homework, my projects…I didn’t even think to grab them.”
"Oh. That ain’t good." She looked at him, pleadingly. “No. Absolutely not. Can’t you miss a few assignments? You ain’t thinkin’-”
"If you come with me, it'll be okay, right?" Rae insisted, cutting him off. He opened his mouth to say something else but she stopped him. "No-no-no. I’ll-I’ll miss so much and-and I’ll have to pay for lost books. ‘Sides, Dally said the bastard’s gone, right? Hiding low?" She was sure she sounded hysterical. Panic was setting up camp in her abdomen. She didn’t care much for school, but Dally had expectations and she just didn’t disobey her brother.
He stared at her, hard, grinding his teeth together. Finally, he sighed through his nose and relented.
"Alright, but Dally can’t find out about this," Two-Bit said. “Or we’ll both be dead. Me more than you”
"He ain’t gonna find out," Rae assured him. She glanced at the clock sitting on her friend’s nightstand.
“This is an awful idea,” he remarked, rubbing his face with a hand. “Shoulda just waited til Dally could go instead-”
"We need to go." He groaned, but they both took off down the hall and out the front door before either of them could change their minds. She could still tell he was uneasy about the situation, completely tensed up, and to be honest, so was she.
One the way, the panic clawed up her throat and she tried to hide the deep breaths she was taking to calm down. Inhale. Everything will be fine. Exhale. Inhale. He’s not even gonna be there. Exhale. No inhale. Right?
Too soon, they were stopped in front of the dirt driveway. Rae reminded herself, again, that her father was probably not there. That is what her brother said, right? Two-Bit started walking again, slow and alert, hand casually in the pocket he kept his knife in. Rae stood in place, sweat starting to form on her forehead and the small of her back. Her feet just wouldn’t go. She was thinking that this might've been a bad idea. When her friend noticed she was not with him, he turned back to her.
"Are you sure?" She nodded and started walking slowly, next to him. They passed a large area where the dirt had been disturbed. Two-Bit didn't say anything but, he did look at Rae, concern written all over his face. Her face was dark, and her insides threatened to jump out her throat and spill onto the ground. She tried to keep her composure, but the mask was cracking. He took her hand as her vision blurred and tears threatened to fall. Boy, he sure acted like he didn’t care but he could read people good as hell. "It's alright. I'm here."
She took a few more long breaths, nodded, and made her way to the front door. As she went up the steps, she held his hand tighter. He followed close behind. The front door was unlocked, like that was any surprise. Everything looked the same as the night she left…
Quietly, they made their way to her room and she let Two-Bit’s hand go. There were red finger marks striped around it. Rae quickly grabbed the school books sitting on the floor next to her bed and shoved any loose papers inside the covers. She also grabbed a duffle bag from under the bed and piled the last of her clothes into it.
When she was finished, she hoisted the bag onto her shoulder and turned back to Two-Bit. He grabbed her wrist and forced her back.
“Ow! That-” She noticed his face was hard and serious. She followed his gaze and found her father leaning on the wall across from the doorway, arms folded in front of him, shabby as hell and stone-cold sober.
"The hell have you been?" he asked. He may not be drunk, but he was angry and that was all he needed.
"You don’t get to talk to her," Two-Bit growled, low and dangerous.
"This is Dallas's fault, isn't it? He got you hooked up with these good-for-nothing boys and now you've turned against your family," her father said with a sigh. “What? Are you fuckin’ them all or somethin’? What a fuckin’ whore.” Something in Rae’s chest cracked open and she laughed.
"Turned against my family? What family? You ain’t my family. You’re just a no-good drunk and a sorry fuckin’ excuse for a father." She let out another harsh, short laugh. "You're disgusting.” She spit on the ground at his feet. Her voice rose, desperate and shrill. Two-Bit gripped her wrist tighter, holding her back. "And as for these 'good-for-nothin’' boys? They been more family than you ever have!" she shouted, tears freely rolling down her cheeks. Her father chuckled at her outburst and shrugged, making her let out a frustrated sob.
"You’re a bastard," Two-Bit mumbled, as calmly as he could. He brought out his prized, black-handled switchblade and took Rae’s bag from her. In the next second, the blade was out, and he held it up, threateningly, towards the older man, who held his hands up but didn’t let go of that stupid, fucking smirk. She quickly retrieved her schoolbooks from the bed, then let her friend usher her out with his free hand on the small of her back.
Once they reached the end of the driveway, her books slipped out of her hands and Rae collapsed to her knees. She put her hands over her face and sobbed into them. Two-Bit tucked his blade back into his pocket and knelt on the ground in beside her, dropping her bag into the dirt. He wrapped his arm tightly around her shoulders and let her cry.
"Hey, hey," he murmured, trying to comfort, his voice threatening to crack. “It’s-it’s alright.” He put his hand on her head and tucked it into his neck. He kept holding her and let her cry as much as she needed. The screen door slammed behind them- her father probably high-tailing it outta there. They heard fast footsteps a short while later and looked up to see Steve and Soda walking to work.
"Jesus," Soda said when he saw Rae. He set himself down on the ground in front of Rae. Steve stayed on his feet, glaring back at the house. “Are ya’ll alright?" Two-Bit nodded. Rae’s heaving sobs had quieted. Sodapop slipped his handkerchief out of his pocket and helped her dry her face. She sniffled.
“Soda, your jeans-they’ll get all dirty.” Her voice came out as a strangled whine.
“Now, don’t you worry about that,” he assured her, folding the fabric back up and stuffing it back into the pocket of his blue work shirt.
“What the hell ya’ll doin’ here?” Steve asked, his voice tight.
“Said she needed her books- didn’t expect that motherfucker to be home,” Two-Bit explained. Soda looked back towards the house.
“Should we tell Dally?” he asked. “Or do ya think he’ll be long gone by the time we get him the info?”
“H-he’s gone,” Rae stuttered.
“Yeah, we heard him leave just before ya’ll came along,” Two-Bit confirmed.
“Probably just there to get stuff. Please don’t tell Dally.” She sucked in a breath.
"It's alright, now, Rae," Steve said, and squatted down to her eye level. He brushed a stray piece of hair out of her face.
"I know," she said with a relieved sigh and a nod. She took a deep, shuddering breath and when she exhaled, she made herself relax. “Y-you guys always make it better.”
"Go on to my house and calm down. Take the day off," Soda offered before Steve pulled him to his feet. They were already late. Rae thanked them with a weak smile. They said their hurried good-byes and were off again.
Two-Bit and Rae slowly made their way to the Curtis house. When they got there, Tim Shepard was sitting, kicked back, in one of the armchairs, reading a newspaper Darry had left out. He looked up when the door slammed behind them.
"Hey, Tim," Two-Bit said, walking out from behind Rae, and set her bag down on the couch.
"Ain't you two supposed to be in school or somethin’?" he asked. Rae shrugged.
“Maybe we didn’t feel like goin’ today.” He looked at her, curiously. Her eyes were still puffy and her face probably blotchy. Two-Bit went off down the hall in search of the bathroom. She sat down on the couch next to her bag and pulled the length of her hair over one shoulder.
"You Dally’s kid sister?" Tim asked. She slid her eyes toward him. "Your father, he-"
"Yes," Rae said, tightly, cutting him off. He nodded, slowly, looking her over.
"How you doin'?" he asked. Honestly, she was starting to get real sick of that question, but she bit her tongue. Tim wasn’t one to mouth-off to, either- just like Dally.
"Alright, I guess" she answered. Her face must have shown some confusion or surprise because he shrugged.
"We all gotta stick together, don’t we?" Rae nodded. "’Sides, I seen ya hangin’ around Curly a lot and you’re Dally’s kid sis."
"You're right," she agreed, her lips tugging upward. "Thanks, Tim."
"No problem, kid," he said, standing up.
"Rae," she corrected. He laid the paper on the arm of the chair and walked over to her, holding out his hand. She grasped it, firmly, and shook.
"You're alright, Rae," he said. "See ya ‘round." Rae nodded and watched him walk out the door. Two-Bit came back in, bottle in hand, just as Tim gently closed the door.
"Tim gone?" She nodded.
“Yeah- prob’ly got some business to take care of if he’s on this side of town.” He shrugged, turned on the TV, and took a sip of his drink. He sat on the arm of the couch and tousled her hair. She jumped at him, trying to catch him off guard, but he quickly had her on the floor with one hand, beer, unspilled, in the other. He let her up and they both laughed softly at each other. He roughed up her hair again, but this time she let it happen and settled in to watch some cartoons.

Fluctuations
This always happens. I started this blog entry from songs that struck me in late December to January and all that transpired during that month, which seems SO distant now. Let me see how I’ll divide this one up.
Starting with my thoughts back then: I had begun to feel better since my state from the fall, which I would perhaps like to dub “The Lost Season.” I felt more settled, finally starting to be maybe myself. I focused on passing the block, which was looking precarious at this point, and did. Struggled a bit with research, future career direction, trying to decide between pursuing the impossible for motivation vs. not being motivated at all, because I had proven myself incapable of walking that middle ground. Had therapy. Had a relatively lackluster but un-agonizing, relatively enjoyable and stable arrangement that took care of my fix while also preventing me from bad decision-making…for the most part. Guess I had some random, inconsequential sparks to keep me going too. Things were looking more settled and I was filled with determination for the future, at least on the academic front. And then some tiny thing happened, and totally irrelevant to the details, sent me on a spiral down my original trajectory, and I was slightly a wreck in January. As my close friend put it: I was getting R E K T constantly. More therapy. I would fluctuate from a state that seemed like polar opposites—whimsical lightheartedness; some idgaf confidence (rooted in truth, ahem, although it was buried quite deep down); a deep, penetrating sense of loneliness; confusion; some self-frustration & insecurity; and of course, some self-deprecation that pervades my being. But now, looking back, I think what pervades all these songs is a sense of apathy. There is an emotional distance—whether that be from numbness, lack of depth, an aversion to be vulnerable, or lacking the deeper sense of self-confidence/ security in myself. All the emotions were made worse by the fact that I felt shame towards how I was feeling, because it was the first time that these emotions may have stemmed from insecurity.
 So here goes, Fluctuations:
 2/1/2020
Really should not be doing this right now, but I’m already doing it without doing it, so will just do it (which looking back, sums up my approach to this past year).
This mood is so exactly how I feel:
NIKI- Chilly
Rediscovered myself, took back my heart Moved to a new city where I should be restartin' But I just feel nothin' Though something could grow I don't ever let it take root, oh Possibility all round me But I don't give a shit
I feel this about a lot of things, perhaps less than before, but I still have my moments. I’m in medical school, this place that I wanted so much, that some others feel so dedicated to and excited about, but sometimes I feel like I don’t give a shit.  As I’ve noted, I feel as though a lot of my old crosses and struggles are returning. The new glitz of LA has worn off, and I’m unfortunately just me.
December's feelin chilly Takin' shots at the club to warm up and distract me from feelin empty Every now and then I would remember how you made me feel Oh, desolation and thrill 
Nostalgia. That longing for the past. “every now and then” it does happen. I did take a lot of shots, and although it does warm me up in several ways, I’m not sure how often it distracts me from feeling empty.
To hell with "other halves" That's bullshit, I'm already whole alone That don't mean that I wanna be alone Tangled bodies to reset my heart but it just won't
I resonate with this so much. It reminds me of what Jo March says in the new Little Women film: “Women have minds and they have souls as well as just hearts. They’ve got ambition and they’ve got talent as well as just beauty. I am so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I’m so sick of it! But—I am so lonely.” 
Do you ever think about me? When she ain't around, is your bed cold without me? There ain't nothin' for me out here I'll stop asking questions, you take care
But of course, despite the queries, I know I should just stop asking questions and say take care and walk away. I’m getting a bit better with it definitely. But still not fully there.
 ______________________________________________________________________
Lyrics-wise, Jessie Reyes & JRM - Imported resonates deeper with me, but my unending love for 6lack prevented me from foregoing that one. Jessie is the lead in this first track, and I am* the lead of my life, so… And of course, my bank account isn’t looking mighty fine AT ALL, so that was an immediate eliminating factor. 
Jessie’s voice is always laden with emotion, and there’s a penetrating pang, a sultry intensity to everything she’s saying. This song was the most accurate encapsulation of my state in Dec-Jan. I was trying to be better, to put myself in situations where I didn’t feel REKT afterwards, or in more refined terms, not feel immense distress. Yet, deep down I wanted to. I so loved making bad decisions—giving into that impulsive desire, stirring shit up in a slight way. It felt more true to myself in the moment. 
Hi, my name is Doesn't Matter I like making bad decisions Let's wake up like nothing happened If we do it, say we didn't   You, you're in love with somebody else Maybe I could offer some help Get over them by getting under me   Hi, my name is not important I'm not from here, I'm imported I drink liquor like it's water Hope my liver can afford it I've been lying here, I'll be lying here I'm under the covers Like what happened here ain't nothing sacred Shit that got me fucked up is I know that dude just saw me naked
In some moments, this embodied the kind of interaction I wanted, or at least, felt right to me at the time. I love how this song captures the hallmarks of casual interactions, with a twist. Your name doesn’t matter, you wake up without any emotional attachments, unaffectionate, like something in between friends to acquaintances to strangers, as if nothing happened, despite a level of intimacy that was shared the night before. Despite popular opinion, it really couldn’t matter less that they’re in love with somebody else. You want to help them, not by becoming “the one”, but by replacing them physically, helping to forget for a night. Nightly trysts can be meaningful for sure, but there really isn’t anything sacred about this one. You’re over here worrying about superficial things like how this dude saw you naked rather than about how your capacity for emotional connection and depth could have been compromised.
Imported into someone else’s life in so many more ways than one; lying on so many more ways.
Of course, behind the chill, callousness of it all, there is a grain of realness:
Not interested in a broken heart But who'd a thought it'd take me ages? I ended up here 'cause my girls said "Fake it 'til you make it"   I can tell you fucked up over Someone else you can't replace, and You finally realized That broken love just ain't worth saving You tryna lick the wounds But someone's not reciprocatin'
We aren’t trying to get feelings involved, but there’s a lingering shadow of how this all began. Fake it till you make it. But who’d have thought these pseudoscars would last as long as they did?
The last bit didn’t resonate much with me personally, surprisingly, but this is often how it goes in the realm of casual interactions. Glimpses of it in people of the emotionally unavailable kind, in that invariably tipsy, vulnerable pillow talk stage. The stuff that makes you defensive or overthink the next morning. 
What I love about this one is that cheeky side-eye, that nod of confidence that co-exists with the uncertainty and vulnerability. You do want to keep it on the dl, you don’t want any of the emotional attachment, but also, you know you got it, you aren’t gonna hide it if it comes down to it and you know they still might get hooked:
Let's wake up like nothing happened If we do it, say we didn't If your friends ask if you hit it You can tell 'em, I'll admit it I wear that shit like a badge 'Cause I know that I got that kitty   Get over them by getting under me But you might OD if you get too much of me
Such a seductive song that doesn’t try to at all, just a perfect blend of playful, crude, casual and real.
Zooming in on that badass sense of confidence, Ella Mai- Sauce comes in with a truly saucy bop on knowing your true worth, and being ready to drop anyone who don’t get it. We aren’t with you cause without them life sucks, we’re choosing to be with them, and they can be unchosen if they can’t handle the flavor. There’s always a fear of being too much for a lot of people, including myself—too emotional, too intense, too clingy, too crazy etc.—and Ella owns her everything, and puts the boys in their place:
Don't get emotional   So I'd rather let you know Even though, I'm good without you I'm fucking with you regardless And if that's gon' hurt you Least you can say is I'm honest Good things don't always get to you the way that you want it   I'm good without you but I'm fucking with you regardless So tell me if it gets too much Tell me if you bit too much Sorry that you can't keep up You're looking like you bit too much Boy, act right 'cause it's cool There's too much sauce in the food for you Too much sauce I got too much sauce, sauce   It takes a strong man, strong shoulders You gotta level up if you want this (stop)
When you got these broad shoulders, def need one with strong shoulders as well. 
But despite the UMPHHH about ourselves that rules deep down, we all still have our fleeting, very millennial moment of weakness, I’d like to think. I love how light Quinn XCII & Chelsea Cutler are—they capture those blurry nights with one too many drinks when you’re on your phone feeling nostalgic and emotional, feel those questions bubbling up that you don’t know the answers to and actually shouldn’t.
Why are we frayed at the edge, it's making me feel all to blame I wanna know what's the deal Where have you been and what do you think of me? Is there a new girl silently screaming your name?   Why am I still holding on? I'm still holding on And I'm way too honest and you make me want it Why are we at such a distance? Find ourselves so out of frame Why are we drifting away from everything we wanted to save?
You want to hit up that one person from that one inconsequential but also kinda meaningful fling, or whatever gets you going. The song captures how you KNOW you shouldn’t, that it won’t amount to anything, but yet you give in from time to time. You know you should move on and are frustrated for not, but yet here you are.
It's old news, I should look for better Falling back to strangers, leave me hanging on Flare guns go off in my head, saying not to call you this late Still I dial those numbers every time Why do I replay those messages that you left at the tone last May? Slowly wishing you were never mine
The melody is upbeat and reminiscent of one of those somewhat last song moments at the bar when the music is winding down, the lights are on the verge of turning on, and you’re lightly sweaty and have that faded moment of compromised reality. It’s an inherently not-too-serious, universal emotion, still sung with a small, perhaps very slightly wry, smile on your face.
Niki’s Chilly hones in on this moment of weakness, but a more grounded, sober version. In retrospect, I think this was the most traditionally me song of the bunch, just cause I am a very moody girl at heart (mgp 5eva). Niki’s subdued voice is perfect--you can tell she’s not just indulging in an emotional moment and that it’s just straight up observations. She cares a lot still, but less about about that person she’s missing and more about the fact that that person has (partly) led her to feeling numb, and that she somehow hasn’t left that state.
But I ain't bitter, babe I've moved on, I just hate That nothing blooms since you
She points out an important distinction—you can move on from the person but not from the state that that person put you in. You can tell she’s fully aware of everything that’s happening, that she perhaps even knows what to do to get out of it, but can’t fully muster up the energy or that impetus to actually do so.
The most out of place song in the bunch, but I was intrigued by the progression of infatuation to love and a belief in that love over time, and to eventually walking away from something that you knew was so good for you:
Isaiah Rashad feat Syd- Silkk da Shocka 
You give me all that you got
You make it stretch it and flip I fell in love with your thighs I learned it's more than your hips You know I'm caught in my vibe But I still give you my rib You hear them callin' my name But know it's hard for me here
I'm left at home by myself I chose the world in the end I say you know I'll be back You try your best to pretend I say you all that I want And when I make it, it's real I hear 'em callin' my name It's gettin' hard for me here
To know you love me It's rare to know you love me But yeah I know you love me It's rare I know you love me
There’s an enticing smoke and cloudiness that shrouds this track—you can feel the regret peeking out despite his compromised state, but of course, he doesn’t let himself fully realize that he made a mistake. He ends with a garbled monologue that shuts the whole thing down:
Feel so hollow unless you're usin' narcotics See I don't wanna be here if I don't gotta My weed habit so close to snortin' powder Got a few bitches but it's only bout a dollar Feel so hollow unless you're usin' narcotics See I don't wanna
And just after the self-indulgent haze of smoke, that early moment when you realize you’re indulging in something to numb the emotions, we’re fully in back our high and back to whimsical, light fun to forget all the Debbie downer bits. Might as well indulge in some steady, reliable fun if things can’t be inherently resolved yet:
Taylor Teyana feat Kanye West - Hurry
Keep your eyes all on this fatty If you like what you see take your hands and grab it Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry Late night get like all this real magic Ride it automatic till the sun come up, ooh Early, early, early, early
Every time she round, she get treat like the sidekick Until that side chick went and got some side dick
And after all the shits and giggles, the fun and games, there comes a time when you realize you need a change and that you’re ready for it—you’re ready to jump out the window. Big Sean, who I lowkey love for his lyrics—which seem just cheesy enough to be real—captures this state so well. It’s matter of fact, no buts, no fronting. This song felt like partly where I was at, partly something I needed to hear. Sometimes I’m Big Sean, sometimes I’m the girl he singing to. Honestly, despite him saying he doesn’t want to turn this into therapy, it felt like one—a necessary pep talk almost. He does it in a non-condescending, casual way. Some particular kernels of knowledge:   
We already wasted too much time And your time is the only thing I wish was mine   Know ya momma didn't raise you to take no disrespect, yeah I feel like real queens know how to keep the game in check, yeah You cried on my phone the whole night That time he crossed the line yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh I was there) I went to straighten his ass out And you told me never mind yeah   The question isn't, "Do he love ya?" The question is, "Do ya love yourself?" You give the best advice to your friends and not take it for yourself   You been up at night, sleep deprivation What's the hesitation? What's ya reservation? You been trippin', trippin' with no destination You need separation, you need recreation   Look, Funny we ran into each other while we leaving You walked in with a perm And now yo hair look like The Weeknd's I know that you been needin' clarity Don't mean to sit ya down and turn this into therapy But you gave too much time to that boy charity, hear me
As someone who had just gotten a perm that was slightly difficult to control post-shower, had run into a lot of people, and definitely needed both clarity and therapy, this bit did kill me a little. Hoping mine didn’t look too much like the Weeknd’s though.
He still keeps it relaxed and light enough for us to swallow the medicine: 
I don't mean to sound like the jealous type But you oughta know (oughta know) I think me and you should get together sometimes On the low low low (on the) Sometimes I wonder if you even know How much you worth, I gotta know   Remember when you used to come through and hit the Mario Kart And you always picked the Princess I realized you was princess Way back then we the best thing that never happened, but
And an ironic song to cap it off. Mahalia- I Wish I Missed My Ex. Sometimes it’s easier to have someone to miss.
