Lucky?
hey babe!! what's up?
Its Hunter again
oh noo :( everything okay?
i don't really know.
wanna vent?
I'm kinda just sitting here
on the bed
crying because I'm pathetic
you are NOT pathetic. don't say that to yourself
have you eaten?
Hunter made chili but if I eat I might throw up
please eat something, you'll just feel worse
I'm not going back down there
now you're just being unreasonable
ry, go and eat. nothing bad can happen.
You don't know that
what's he gonna do, stab you?
maybe
don't be stupid. go eat
fine.
8:23 PM
hey sorry about earlier
that's okay babe. are you ready to talk?
Yeah just closed myself into the study. I'm just feeling confused and like
idk
go on? you said hunter did something?
Okay so
I was sitting after bringing the kids back from swimming right
and he's already home, but I don't really say anything
good, he's been ignoring you anyway, right?
Mhm but then
he said hi
??
And I wasnt sure what to say so I was like "hi" back
um
hasn't he literally been ignoring you for the past like, three weeks?
I hate how he went about breaking it off like
he just decided "oh hey i'll ignore her 'til she brings it up herself"
and then he asked how swimming went so I said "it was fine" and started reading Gatsby, but he kept trying to talk to me and I just kinda went "i don't want to talk
"
yeah?
and then do you know what he did?
no
He freaking TEXTED me
what
Literally was like "I can see you :D" and I made a point of turning off my phone
hunter wtf has gotten into you
Idk but I got pissed off and I was like "I hate you"
and he laughed and went "you don't hate me"
and I was like "excuse me"
and he says "I have this policy where I don't hate someone unless they hate me. And I don't hate you therefore theres no way you hate me"
And that was when I messaged you because I came to the room and started crying
first of all, that's not his decision to make so he can piss off
No but... I just feel so confused now
I don't understand what Hunter wants. Or for that matter, what I want
take time to figure yourself out first. don't think about him.
Like... you know how I've been wanting him to pay attention to me and stuff?
Talk to me again?
yeah?
He's finally doing it.
So why am I so angry?
would it be because he's ignored you for so long and now he just thinks he can waltz back in like nothing happened?
...
That would actually explain so much
yeah
Do you know what bugs me though?
what bugs you?
I think he would've sat beside me at dinner if Elle hadn't gotten there first. And after dinner while I was washing the dishes he CAME UP TO ME and told me that he would be working in the studio for the rest of the evening and to sleep well
...
why exactly does that bug you?
That's how he should've been acting when we were still together. Wehn I still needed him.
*when
i get that
Like not now when you realise I might actually get over you and you're scared of that so you use your damn puppy dog eyes
He misses the attention he got from me so NOW he wants me back?
I'm angry because... well he said I couldnt hate him. And he's right. I can't hate him. I tried.
he still doesn't get to make that decision for you, though
I don't know how I feel about him anymore.
I thought I hated him but now all these old feelings are coming back
and I have a headache.
have an early night. make yourself some hot cocoa. just... try not to overthink things, okay? i don't want you getting hurt because of this crap
I'm okay. I'm sorry to bother you
don't be. i'm always here for you, yeah? <3 :*
Of course. Gnight Lucky
g'night babe <3

Hey
What do you want?
I was just wondering if you were okay
You had another nightmare last night
Thanks for reminding me. I needed that
I'm sorry I hugged you without your permission or whatever
You were shaking
It's all I know how to do
Well you need to learn something else
You slept okay after that. You were asleep when I left this morning
I'm busy
Okay. I'll message later then?
Don't expect me to reply. I've got a meeting.
Sure. Do you want me to pick the kids up from school? Will you take long?
K
Did you actually just 'K' me
Yes. Go away. I'm busy.
Okay okay
1:56 PM
Are you free to talk?
No. I'm busy.
It's lunchtime
Yes. Sometimes at lunchtime people like to eat what they call their 'lunch'
Truly a mark of how far mankind has come
Don't be sarcastic
I was gonna ask if you wanted to order pizza tonight, you seem tired
Just because I'm not wearing makeup doesn't mean I'm tired
I literally didn't even see you this morning
Forget it then

For gods sake
Just don't do anything stupid, I'll be there soon
that's my secret me Hayes
I'm always stupid
Stay put.
9:45 AM
ow
You woke up?
Yep
My head hurts
You were almost blackout drunk. Are you crazy? What the hell possessed you to go to a bar of all things and get drunk?
I don't know
Do you have any idea how irresponsible it was to leave the kids at home with Elle, a teenager who could literally collapse at any moment, and get drunk?! Alone?!?!
Don't yell at me I have a headache
Don't joke. This isn't funny.
Boo hoo you had to drive out and pick up your wife
You're the mother of my children, Ryan
You've gone too far
Says the one who won't let me divocer him because he's too scared that he won't know what to do without me
Excuse me? You were the one who moved to London of all places because you just needed some fucking space
I could have divorced you right then and there and none of this would have happened
Maybe you should have
You're the one who drove while drunk and picked up our toddler which gave him walking problems potentially for life
That was a mistake
So was marrying you
That's it. I'm done.
Fine
Fine
11:32 AM
You won't... divorce me
Will you?
Look who's come crawling back
Piss off
No, Ry. I won't divorce you.
Not because I want you back. Because of the kids.
Yeah
The kids
I'm sorry I got angry. I know it's hypocritical
damn right it is
I still care about you, Ry. I don't want you getting hurt because of me
woah woah woah woah
Who the hell said it was because of you?
No one
But you've been depressed since we broke up
Not everything is about you Hayes
I'm not saying it is
I'm just...
I don't know
How about you stop being so damn selfish and realise that I have problems of my own
You've been having nightmares again
About Peter
I know that much
Congratulations
Do you want a medal
I want you to be happy
You did a great job of that while we were married and you're doing an even better job of it now. You should get the best husband award
I told you to stop being sarcastic with me
Make me
What are you, 5?
Says you
What's that supposed to mean
You're a dick
You're a child
I hate you, Hayes.
The feeling is mutual, Lockhart.

Something terrible has happened

I messed up
I messed up so bad
ryan it's nearly five am what the hell are you on about
I had another nightmare
okay
And I woke up crying and Hunter hugged me to try and calm me down but then I don't know I
what did you do
RYAN
I kissed him
...
and then we had sex
FUCKING HELL RYAN.
I don't know why or how it happened
but suddenly we were kissing and it was the first time since the night we broke up and i know it was wrong but it felt so right
YOU TOLD ME YOU HATED HIM
and I do!!
YET YOU FUCKED HIM
STOP. YELLING. AT. ME. I KNOW I SCREWED UP
is he awake?
No still asleep
for fuck's sake
do you realise that you literally fucked your ex?
Stop swearing at me
stop having sex with your ex husband!
ugh
What am I going to do?
you're gonna leave the house tomorrow morning for work
and you're gonna message him and ask what you two are
because it's not clear to me, and it's not clear to you, either
If he wants to get back together?
isn't that what you want?
I dont know anymore
it's your choice, babe
not mine
Oh God, Lucky
What have I done?

Are you free to talk?
Yeah I am now
Do you wanna talk about last night?
Not really
But I know we have to
Yeah
...
...
this is fun
Yeah
Did you
Did you want it as much as I did?
I think I did
But idk if it was exactly for noble reasons
What do you mean?
I mean I think I was just... needing release
Ugh that sounds dirty
Did you feel anything?
I don't know
Do you love me?
I don't know Hunter
Well, how am I supposed to know?
answer ain't changing
Why do you always give me the same answer?
Why are you asking me the same question?
Fine
But... what does this make us?
Hunter I've said this like five times
I still don't know
Look
The tour is in like five days
Right
Let's just spend time away from each other
Work everything out
Find my daughter
I think some space would be good for us
Me too
I'm sorry. I know I'm just confusing you. I'm confused too.
It's okay. I mean I was the one to kiss you frist
*first
It's not your fault. I could've stopped you
But you didn't
No
I didn't
...
...
I don't want to be like
Friends with benefits or something
Me neither. I'd honestly rather we divorced
Like officially. Yeah
I'm sorry
No. I should be sorry. I couldn't resist you
You're still as beautiful as ever
You have to stop this
Stop what?
Stop making me fall in love with you all over again
*A/N: NEW FORMAT!!! this is only gonna be a one time thing, I just wanted to see how it'd be received by all of yooooooou
