you're my moonlight

David: Are you spending your free time reading into rumors and random speculations these days?

David: Not quite sure what you're talking about. But maybe you're feeling jealous that I spent time with Tana and had a bunch of really beautiful girls around me to celebrate my birthday weekend.

David: I'm single you know. So I have freedom to do things like that these days. Not sure why it's concerning you so much when we're friends?

Ariana: They're literally not speculations or rumors, David. Tana herself confirmed it online for everyone to see. Literally millions of people know that you two fucked, and I'm just sick.

Ariana: I could literally care less about who you spend your time with. Since you're spending so much of it with Tana, I imagine the girls around you are probably just as trashy as she is.

Ariana: So much for trying to be friendly, huh?

Pete: It's not your fault and I don't hold it against you at all. At the end of the day, it's the internet. There's always going to be people like that around, unfortunately. I hate how social media dictates our lives so much nowadays. God forbid you delete your Twitter. Millions of articles and speculations would be out in minutes, analyzing what led you to that decision. It's insane.

Pete: That's more than alright with me. I can certainly provide myself, food, and all the best movies you could ever want. LA is overrated, but then again I'm incredibly biased because New York is just in my blood. And when you're used to the LA lifestyle, New York is just an entirely different world. I've missed the make outs very much. So you have no idea how happy I am to know that they're the reason you want to extend your stay out here. You're more than welcome to stay as long as you'd like. I'm certainly in no rush to get rid of you.

Ariana: We should just do it, you know. Delete our Twitter's, instagrams, emails, hell, our LinkedIn's if we even have them which I'm sure someone on either of our teams have set them up for it. Let's quit the internet and move to a remote island. We'll live off the land and far away from civilization.

David: I understand, take all the time you need. I support you. I hate that it had to come to this. But if you need some time on your own right now, then I respect that and understand. Going back to being just friends is going to be an awkward shift, but I don't want to lose you from my life either. So keeping things friendly it is.

Pete: Hey, it's not your fault. You can only do so much to tame them. At the end of the day, some of them are just always going to feel the need to defend you. I admit, they go hard for you and I respect their loyalty and everything. But sometimes I feel like they just don't understand that words can hurt. That's why I deleted social media and I feel like overall, it was the best thing I've ever done for my mental health.

Pete: The same goes for you. You have the sweetest and purest heart out of everyone I know. I never ever want to see you hurting either. I'm sorry that you're going through this breakup currently and you're hurting. But if there's anything I can do for you to distract you or take your mind off of things, you know I'll do anything for you. You have no idea how much it means to ME to have YOU here. It feels like the old days. Just cuddling on the couch and having Harry Potter marathons. Joking around and teasing one another. My favorite part about having you back here has definitely been the making out, 10/10 would do again.

Ariana: You definitely did the best thing for you in that moment, and I respect that. I am sorry that it had to come to that, though. It should have never happened and I love my fans but they should do better. I frequently think about deleting my social media. I would if it wouldn't lead to thousands of articles dissecting all the reasons why I did it.

David: God I miss you so fucking much too. It's just not the same without you around. Everything just feels so empty without you. My bed. My house. My life in general. I understand if you need some time. Take all the time you need. Just know that I'll be here whenever you're ready. I'm trying my best. I don't want to let you down again. I just hope you't doing well and that you're happy.

Pete: The last thing we need is the media hounding us again. Your fans are crazy and I know they'd come for me the moment TMZ leaked that article. I'm proud of you. You're a strong, independent woman, who don't need a man.

Pete: I just understand what it's like dealing with mental health issues. I also know what it's like to lose someone close to you. So I get the grieving process and the amount of pain you go through. There's never any judgement on my end, cause lord knows I've been though it all over the years. I agree. I think we're both different, stronger people since then. It's a whole new chapter and I promise that we can read through together and see what happens as it happens.

Ariana: I'm sorry they're like that. I love them, but sometimes it's just all too much. This is why I've kept all of my relationships after you somewhat private and hidden away from socials. It isn't worth sharing it with the rest of the world and having people be assholes to the person I love. But also, I'm so so sorry on their behalf for everything they put you through. It wasn't fair at all and you deserved so much better than the treatment you were given.

David: Hey.

David: I know things are weird between us right now. But I'm really trying my best to turn my reputation around and try to be a man that's worthy of being with you. I miss you so much, Ariana.

Ariana: Hey.

Pete: Please don't pass out right at my front door. At least come inside and pass out somewhere in here. Otherwise the neighbors would be suspicious as to why a tiny woman is napping outside of my apartment. I think being on your own is definitely good for everyone at one point or another in their lives. I feel like being alone causes you to be with your thoughts and do a lot of self reflecting. Which is never really a bad thing. You just have to do whatever you feel like is best for you in the moment.

Pete: I'm glad to know you were always comfortable. I always tried my best to make you feel that way. I never wanted to put any pressure or extra stress on you. I know how much you've gone through in your life and more stress is never what anyone needs.

Ariana: You're right. I won't put you through that kind of deep questioning. Plus you know they'd sell the story to all the media outlets and start shit about how we're 'back on' or something. Yeah, it does. I mean, it's been a shitty time since it happened, but I'm working on me and working on who I am without a guy in my life. I hope to come back to the world as a new and improved Ari.

Pete: I'm more than alright with either of those options. However one does sound more appealing than the other. It all just depends on how you're feeling. That's because you're literally the hottest woman on earth so the moment you become single, men start lining up to be your next potential suitor.

Pete: I've missed you and your shortness. You're just the tiniest human so it's so easy to just pick you up and hold you close always.

Ariana: I'd have to say that one of them does sound more appealing to me than the other as well. We'll figure it out once I get there. After a six hour plane ride I may just pass the fuck out right at your front door for all I know. Eh, I guess. I just ignore them all. Sometimes I think being on my own is good for me, you know? It teaches me a lot about myself.

Pete: I'm trying very hard to act like I'm not interested to hear about the fact that you're single again. I really am sorry that you're going through all of that. I don't wish that kind of heartbreak on anyone.

Pete: I'm already cleaning up the place and getting ready for your company! I can't wait to see you and hug your small self again.

Ariana: Stop it. I can bore you with all the details later, or we can just do a lot less talking too if that's okay. It's all good. I mean, I'm not good at being single but I'm getting through it with lots of Prosecco and vegan chocolate chip cookies.

Ariana: Hey. You absolutely don't look dumb or pathetic. You should know I always love talking to you and you're always welcome to reach out.

Ariana: I'm doing... okay. Been better, but I've also been worse. I miss you too. How are things over in New York? I've been thinking about leaving LA for a while now, I may pay you a visit soon.

Pete: That's good to know. Because I never get tired of talking to you.

Pete: Just okay? You know I'm always here if you ever need to talk about anything that's on your mind. No pressure of course, but I'm just putting that out there. Things are good over here, but they would be a hell of a lot better if you were here.

Ariana: And I miss talking to you all the time. So this works our perfectly.

Pete: Hey. I know it's been a while and I probably look dumb and pathetic for still trying to reach out to you after all this time.

Pete: But I hope you're doing well. Just know I miss you.

Ariana: Hey. You absolutely don't look dumb or pathetic. You should know I always love talking to you and you're always welcome to reach out.

David: Yeah. A lot going on for me too. I figured you were avoiding me.

David: I've been better, as I'm sure you know.

Ariana: It wasn't on purpose. Just a lot going on and a lot on my mind, like I said.

David: Hey. You've been avoiding me.

David: Is everything okay?

Ariana: Hey. Yeah, I'm sorry. There's just a lot going on.
