#facetime.

Texting had always been the easier form of communication for the girls, especially with their busy schedules but occasionally Troian preferred FaceTime so she could actually see her friends face. There was no particular reason for her call this afternoon, Troian just missed her friend and wanted to catch up over video instead of texting. Now that Lucy was in Fiji for her new movie, she knew that her free time was limited so she was going to use the time that her friend had to her advantage. Troian sat at her kitchen counter fresh from the shower with a cup of tea in hand waiting for her small but mighty friend to answer her call. @lvcygoose

Lucy put her phone on the counter for a minute after receiving Rami’s last text. Flapping her hands around in the air to try and cool herself down a little, she paced a few steps before picking up the phone and quickly calling before she changed her mind. As soon as Rami’s face was on screen, she relaxed just a little. “Hi.” She spoke softly with a grin on her lips. Even the sight of him put her at ease. With a big sigh, she began. “Okay, so. Last night. I was dancing with Ben and- I don’t know. These feelings kind of came over me and I wanted to kiss him. Like really kiss him. I ran outside to get some air because I wasn’t sure what to do or what they meant and I couldn’t find you after so I panicked a bit and I was drinking..” She knew she was rambling. The lump at the back of her throat already hinting an appearance despite the fact she hadn’t even let Rami respond. “I’m sorry. I love you, I really do. So much. I think I might have feelings for Ben a little too. He doesn’t know, and I wouldn’t tell him but I feel so guilty.” The lump broke and she blinked away the wet build up in her eyes. “I’m so sorry.” Leaning the phone against the coffee pot so she had both hands free and rubbed her cheeks dry.

They had been texting back and forth for weeks, but Troian was getting sick of typing out all of her thoughts and feelings. She needed to vent or at least spill her guts to her best friend and over FaceTime was the best way to do that right now. She could always just call but she missed her friends face and wanted to see her reaction to the things Troian had to say. Fresh from the shower, Troian sat at the counter in her best friends kitchen and anxiously waited for her to answer the FaceTime call. @lucyshq

Stream of Consciousness Saturday, Near, Far

Since reading the prompts that Linda gave us, THIS earworm has been buzzing through my head. You’re welcome! It’s hard to bring my consciousness out of the song and experience of Titanic And Celine beating her chest at the emotional part of the song. But let me see if I can try. I am feeling far from everyone. Even those who are near, in my house. Each time they go out shopping I get worried…
