CHAPTER ONE

penelope
I know it's like 4am where you are and that I'm a pain in the ass but Chris broke it off.

penelope
I didn't even think about anything other than coming home to see you while he was screaming that I'm a shit girlfriend.

penelope
I'm on a train now so I should be home in a few hours or something, maybe 9am in your time.

penelope
I'm still sobbing over Glenn Rhee, I am not even prepared to start acting like an independent adult.

Okay okay, I'm awake hey, I'm just reading the messages now.

emma
Whoa, you used a Ross quote, shit is getting deep. You okay?

penelope
if you class drawing on a fogged up train window whilst eating Ben and Jerry's and listening to Backstreet Boys greatest hits okay. Then yes, I'm very much okay.

emma
So in other words: you're an emotional wreck and you need 104829 pounds of chocolate and probably a therapist.

penelope
Pretty much, you got work in the morning?

emma
Yeah, but if you get some sleep I'll pick you up when your train gets here.

emma
I'll bring some clothes and you can get changed in the back of my car and come with, your fellow ginger has missed you a lot, he'll be very happy to see you back.

penelope
If he wasn't like four years older than me I'd probably date him. puberty struck him like lightening since I left!

penelope
I saw his recent rogue photo shoot, those v-lines, I might cry, puberty did him well.

Emma
Do I smell a rebound?😉

penelope
oh my goodness, hell no! For one, he's much too old for me, he's like 22, and two, I don't toy around with feelings.

penelope
I'd probably feel guilty for another 15 years if I used someone's toothbrush never mind used them as a rebound for my one and a half year relationship!

emma
You seem way too okay with being dumped, are you sure you're okay.

penelope
Ah, you know me Em, jokes and memes relating to my pain are my only pleasures in life.

emma
that's worrying, please think about what I said about needing a therapist..

penelope
A lot of people make jokes out of their pain, you're not an English teacher, no need to be so dramatic.

emma
Whatever you say Nell, okay I'm gonna get some sleep, you should too. It's a long day tomorrow.

penelope
Sure, I'll try anyway, this chairs feels like a crusty boner against my spine.

emma
I'm not even going to question that, night weirdo.

penelope
night/morning amigo!
