hey i have kind of a weird question for you
tomathan
this can't be good
melanoma
what do you mean
tomathan
last week you texted me at 3 am to ask if axe body spray could be used as a deterrent against a large bird
melanoma
that was a time sensitive question
melanoma
you did not answer in time
tomathan
see this is what i'm talking about
tomathan
if even you think it's a weird question that's a very bad sign
melanoma
whatever weird was the wrong word to use
melanoma
anyway forget about it
tomathan
but now i'm intrigued
melanoma
it's not a big deal
tomathan
are you sure
melanoma
let's just drop it
tomathan

tomathan
i'm sorry i didn't know
tomathan

melanoma
what's that supposed to mean
tomathan
you're just not a big sharer
tomathan
and i can never tell what you're thinking
melanoma

tomathan is typing...
tomathan
sometimes you make it really hard to be your friend
melanoma
do i
melanoma
wow
melanoma
that's really sweet of you tom
tomathan
come on mel i didn't mean it like that
melanoma
no you're right
melanoma
i'm sorry i'm a huge bitch and an awful person and i'm just ruining your career
tomathan
what are you talking about?
melanoma
it might be hard to be my friend sometimes tom but it's so much fucking harder to be yours
melanoma
did you know i wake up to dozens of people saying things like that to me every day?
melanoma
i've read so many tweets and dms and posts about me and how horrible i am
melanoma
someone told me to kill myself yesterday
melanoma
someone i've never even met
melanoma
i mean how shitty must i be for a total stranger to hate me that much
tomathan is typing...
melanoma
don't bother
melanoma
if you think it's so hard to be my friend then don't
AUTHOR'S NOTE: i'm sorry this chapter is such a mess i'm not a fan. i just wanted to show mel slowly pushing tom away so we'll pretend this chapter spans at least a month (hey sometimes our girl gets moody and stressed and sad because people are mean and school is hard. no one is allowed to be mad at her for telling tom off)
ANOTHER NOTE: i just read sonata for the first time and it's so cringy and annoying?? y'all are FAKE for hyping me up this whole time. also mel is a completely different person it's so funny like
mel in sonata:
mel in theory:
