Kick: <exploding-birthday-cake.gif>
Kick: Etta, wake uppppp. It's your birthday!
Kick: You can't sleep all day on your birthday.
Etta: Actually I can, that's the thing about birthdays, you get to do what you want.
Etta: I want to sleep.
Kick: Come on, I'm really pumped and you're bringing me down.
Kick: <send photo>
Etta: Don't stick your bottom lip out at me.
Etta: If you're still in bed, why can't I be, too.
Kick: Because it's your birthday. You have to get up, go do stuff, open your gifts.
Etta: I don't have any. Remember I opened these bad boys already?
Etta: <send photo>
Kick: Yes.
Kick: I remember.
Kick: Don't you have gifts from like aunts or uncles or cousins?
Etta: Nope.
Kick: Fuck :(
Etta: I'm used to it, Kick. I'm lucky I have my grandmother :)
Kick: And me.
Etta: Yes, you too.
Etta: My non-friend-because-that's-weird.
Kick: Shut up.
Etta: You're the one that says it.
Etta: It's actually pretty hurtful.
Etta: We talk nearly every day for months and you still don't call me your fried.
Etta: Friend*
Etta: It's like I've been friend friend zoned.
Kick: I've told you. We can't be friends until we've met in person.
Kick: Please don't start this again. You're making this birthday really depressing.
Etta: It's my fucking birthday, Kick. Not yours.
Etta: It's depressing because that's just how my fucking birthdays roll.
Etta: It's fine for you with your big family.
Etta: I have my grandmother.
Etta: She lives 11 hours drive away.
Etta: I'm a fucking orphan. You know that.
Etta: Birthdays ARE depressing.
Kick: Woah. Etta.
Kick: Please. You are totally overreacting.
Kick: Etta?
Kick: Look, I'm sorry alright?
Kick: I know you got dealt a shitty life hand. And my heart breaks thinking about it.
Kick: I didn't mean to upset you.
Kick: Please Etta.
Kick: I might not call us 'friends' but I DO talk about you to my mates and my family. Even if you think I don't. I just don't label you.
Kick: I really wanted you to have an amazing birthday because you deserve it.
Kick: I know you're not reading these now, but Etta, when you've stopped being angry at me, can you please follow this.
