"Anyway, what do you three want now?" Monty pinched the bridge of his nose, already regretting coming home.

"We're here to give you some relationship counselling." Jerome said, sounding concerned about his best friend.

"...What?" Monty glanced up and a look of confusion filled his face.

"You know, like therapy-"

"Yes I know what counselling means Jerome, Jesus Christ who do you take me for, Nugget?" The pale boy sighed at his careless friends stupidity and took a minute to regain his sanity, "Why do you think I need that?"

"You dated Cindy, anyone who's dated Cindy needs at least a years worth of therapy." Buggs shrugged before helping himself to a bag of crisps that were left in front of him.

"Very funny fatso," Cindy snarked at the boy next to her before taking a large crisp out of his packet, "We just feel like it's our duty as friends to, you know, find you someone new!"

"Yeah, no. That's not gonna work." Monty laughed.

"Yes it is, you just need to let us help." Jerome placed a hand on the boy's shoulder for some comfort.

"Nope, nuh-uh. Absolutely no way." The freckled boy chuckled at his friends outrageous decision and shook his head from side to side vigorously.

"Oh come on, it's boring being single." Cindy whined.

"Is that your next excuse for finding your next 20 year old unemployed fling of the week?" Buggs remarked.

"At least I have a man in my life, i'm sure you wish you could say the same. You know, since your dad left-"

"Okayyy- let's not go there!" Jerome chuckled in fear as he quickly got between an angry Buggs and an amused Cindy, "We're here for Monty, remember guys?"

"Well you don't need to be, because I don't need it! So thanks guys, much appreciated, but you all can leave now." Monty smiled sarcastically.

"Not gonna work, you're not Monty if you don't have a girl to obsess over for the holidays." Buggs finished his crisps but not before tipping the whole bag into his mouth to eat all the crumbs in there.

"And we think Jerome's cousin is the perfect option for you!" Cindy smiled.

"Me and Carla are just friends. That's all." Monty declared, tone cursed with a slight sadness.

Friends.

Why did that word hurt so much?

"Oh come on, you'd be so cute together!" Cindy squealed in ultimate fangirl.

"Hahaha no." The redhead fake laughed at his exes comment, "Now if you're done, please LEAVE MY HOUSE!"

"Okay okay! But promise you'll at least talk to her more?" Buggs shouted.

"Yeah okay sure whatever." Monty said whilst practically pushing the three of them out of the small door and hastily locking it behind them.

He sat down on one of the stools and grabbed an apple and bit into it without thinking, trying to process everything that just happened in the last ten minutes.

Maybe trying to talk to Carla more wasn't such a bad idea?

No, she's just gotten out of a relationship Monty. Give her some space.

...

But also that could be what she needs? You know, a distraction!

...Maybe.

He picked up his phone and began typing.

Monty: how you doing? did you get home safe last night?

He put the phone down and waited anxiously, although he didn't have much time to be left alone with his overthinking because within a matter of seconds his phone buzzed.

Carla: i'm good, you? and no actually i got eaten alive by a pack of huskies about a mile away from my house which is why i didn't message.

He chuckled at her comment, at least she had a sense of humour unlike the last blonde bimbo who's only personality was being hot.

Monty: i'm good thx. shame they didn't bite your head off so you couldn't speak anymore :)

Carla: since when did you gain a sense of humour? and i'll set them on you next watch out montgomery :)

Monty: don't call me montgomery ever again i think i just threw up in my mouth

Carla: 📝 noting to do it more often

Monty: i hate you

Carla: mm no you don't

Monty: are u sure?

Carla: 100% positive

Carla: also i'm really bored ft me pls i want to show u my clothes haul

"A call? Holy shit." Monty's jaw dropped as he paced around his kitchen and jumped with joy.

Carla: where tf did u go what's more important than my new top

Monty: sorry ozzy came downstairs, yeah i can call

Carla: i forget ozzy's ur stepbrother lmao

Monty: don't remind me he's a nuisance

Carla: loool okay i'll ring u now
