ben have you talked to rylee recently?

taylor she just walked out of the dressing room. why?

ben has she been complaining about me?

taylor not necessarily complaining. why did something happen?

ben so she's been saying stuff about me.

taylor i mean she always talks about you. constantly. she really loves ya, ben.
but back to my question; did something happen?

ben she told me i'm too clingy. that i treat her as if we're in a relationship and i always have to be with her.

taylor you're kidding?

ben i'm serious.
she told me to leave her alone.

taylor that is so not at all something she would say. especially about you, ben.

ben seriously?

taylor no, not at all. ben, she truly, madly, deeply loves you.

ben as a friend, of course 😐

taylor no, i don't think so.
wait, no, that's it.

ben wait, what do you mean, taylor?

taylor ben, please don't repeat anything i've texted you here, okay? it was my little secret. she never directly told me, but i figured it all out on my own.

ben what do you mean, taylor?
what's happening? i'm upset and very confused and you're, like, scaring me 😂😐

taylor don't worry about it. maybe, hopefully, in the next couple days you'll understand.
