Doing Alright // Ben Hardy

Lucy 🥰
Okay. You need to tell me what the hell
is going on with you and Ben RIGHT NOW
because it's driving me insane!

Jasmine 🥰
I genuinely have no idea
what you're talking about?

Lucy 🥰
Yes, you do!
Jasmine Bulsara don't play with me!

Jasmine 🥰
No, I don't!
I have no idea what's going on with Ben
because we haven't spoken since the premiere 🤷🏽‍♀️

Lucy 🥰
There! That right there!
You're not speaking to one another!

Hold on did you just say since the PREMIERE???
Jasmine that was nearly four months ago...

Jasmine 🥰
That is correct.

Lucy 🥰
Don't you dare be all nonchalant
about this Jasmine Mercury Bulsara!
It isn't just me that's noticed.

Rami, Gwil, Allen, Joe...

They've noticed how you actively avoided one another at the globes.
They've all noticed how Ben hasn't responded to a word you've said in the group text for months.
They've noticed how he's not interacted with you on social media.

I just don't understand how you guys can go from basically married to practically strangers and ignoring one another???

Jasmine 🥰
People grow apart!
We've both moved on with new work
projects and it's just happened.
We can't help it!

Lucy 🥰
No! No, that's not it because the rest of us haven't drifted. We're all the exact same except it's like two different groups of friends.

Us and you and us and Ben.
There's something you're not telling me...

Jasmine 🥰
Fine.
The night of the premiere.
Ben and I ...

We went home together and I thought
everything was fine and then it wasn't.

Happy now? The secret is out!

Lucy 🥰
OH MY GOD!
FINALLY!

Jasmine 🥰
No, not finally.
Have you seen the situation we're in?
The whole reason we're having this conversation.

Lucy 🥰
Yes. Sorry. I got side tracked!
Ben adores you.
Why would he just ghost you like that?

Jasmine 🥰
I don't know Luce.
To be completely honest with you...

I'm not even that bothered about
nothing coming of it. Just look at me and Joe.
I'm bothered about him not being in my life at all.

If it was about that night,
then I'd take it back but no offence
but he seemed to enjoy himself so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Lucy 🥰
So let me try and work this out.
You spend the night together...

Wait a minute, he comments on your Instagram post. And then radio silence?
