nothing personal

Alex: Whoops, sorry. I definitely thought you were sleeping.

Alex: Want me to get you anything? Some meds? I can hold your hair back if you need to puke.

Jack: Then why did you text me if you thought I was asleep? 🤔🤔🤔

Alex: This bus is too fucking bumpy and I can't sleep for shit

Alex: Are you awake?

Alex: Jaaaaaaaaaaack

Alex: Jack

Alex: JACK

Alex: Wake up

Alex: Goddammit dude, wake the fuck up.

Jack: Unfortunately, I am.

Jack: I can't sleep either.

Alex: You wouldn't believe it. You know how they are - as soon as they sense someone is sad or in a bad mood, they go above and beyond what's necessary to cheer you up. It was obnoxious.

Alex: We went to lunch too!!!!! What the fuck? Is she taking all of us to lunch? Is she trying to win us over? I mean, I will happily join anyone for lunch, but I feel like there's something crazy going on here. And at what point did Alexis fly a friend out, too? Have we just spent all this time not paying attention? I have so many unanswered questions. No, no. You're right. I don't get it. I know he has a perfect body, great teeth, and a cute face to boot but like... why him?

Jack: They do like to hover. Especially Rian. But Zack can be a pushy bitch too when he wants you to do something.

Alex: And we're happy to have you back. Please don't ever leave me alone with those fucking lunatics ever again.

Alex: The whole situation is weird. I have no idea who this Megan person is or when/where she popped up. I think she's someone's friend? Not sure who though. All of a sudden I was hanging out with her and that was that. I mean, she's cool. She just kind of... appeared.

Jack: Dude I'm sorry for leaving you to fend for yourself against these lunatics. I can only imagine how much worse they were while I was gone.

Alex: Hey man.

Alex: I don't know if I've said this to you recently, but thanks for hanging out with us still and going back on tour with us. All of this wouldn't be the same without you and I'm so glad to have you here.

Alex: I know things are weird between us still, but always remember I'm just a bunk above yours always.

Jack: Yeah, of course. At the end of the day, I don't think I would ever have it in me to walk away from the band. I just needed some time away to put things into perspective. But I'm glad to be back.

Alex: Okay. I understand that even if I don't want it, I have to respect it. Please take care of yourself. I know I'm not the person you'll want to talk to whatsoever, but I'm here for you if you need me.

Alex: I get you win. I hate it. She's very calculated and it sucks and it's fucked with us too many times now. I never expected it to get to this point, but it has and all I can say is I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry. I know sorry doesn't do much of anything in a situation like this, but I'll say it until I'm blue in the face and believe me.

Jack: Thank you. That's all I ask is that you respect it. I am taking care of myself, don't worry. I'm in a great place with people who are looking after me.
