eddie

he's been trying to win me back for two months or something

he broke up with ellie

came out to his parents

and moved in with bill

and ever since, he's been wanting to get back together with me

but i keep declining

el:
whys that

richie:
im just

i can't

i just

i can't deal with the on again off again bullshit

it hurts me too much

it's not healthy

el:
fair enough

why are you so upset now though love?

richie:
because i don't know what to do

at one point he went through the fears i had about getting back with him and told me things that would prove everything is okay

and it was so sweet and i just

and then after i declined i said i couldn't drop everything immediately

and he said he'd give me years if i needed because he loves me and isn't going anywhere

el:
that's sweet

richie:
and every once in a while for the past month and a half he's been sending me really sweet little messages

just like
