Benji: okay so i'm gonna start out by requesting that you please read my whole text and you don't just like... not. but also i'd understand if you didn't wanna hear from me but like.. please read this?

Benji: so i'm sorry and i'm not sure if i should list all the things i'm sorry for because last time when i tried to apologize for all the relationship stuff you didn't really like that so i'm just gonna say i'm really sorry for all the stuff i said then too because i was honestly such an asshole to you and i didn't have any reason to be cause you haven't done anything to deserve that i was just taking out all my feelings on everyone and that sucks

Benji: and you were right about all the music stuff too. i mean, my hands still totally fucked but that doesn't mean it's not worth trying even if it's gonna be harder for me

Benji: i really don’t think you’d be the type to go telling the press anything about anyone because it doesn’t seem like your style but i’m really curious about who exactly these sources close to me are supposed to be since i’m pretty sure the only other person i’ve talked to about quitting music besides you is gemini

Benji: so like i dont think you told the that rag but did you tell someone who might have because i’m getting flooded with tweets and dms from fans freaking out and i didn’t really need this right now

Of course she would run into Alexa here. Really, the only mystery was how the two hadn’t run into each other sooner. Normally in a situation like this, Cleo would pretend she hadn’t even seen her ex-best friend, a fact that had even been commented on by gossip outlets when the two girls ended up at the same events and weren’t seen speaking. Unfortunately, in this particular situation, they had quite literally run into each other as Cleo exited the restaurant Alexa was attempting to enter. “Oh,” was all Cleo could really manage, as the smile that had previously been on her face as she spoke to one of the restaurant’s employees faded. “Sorry,” she mumbled, side stepping the girl to let her in the door, her tone indifferent as if the two didn’t even know each other.

Benji had decided to go on a little walk around the town, mostly for the sake of having some time to himself. He was glad to have the support of Gemini and Ophelia, but the dynamic definitely felt off without his sister there, and he just needed some time alone with his thoughts. He found himself just standing out by the lake chain smoking when he spotted the blonde also walking down by the water and in his direction. “Fuck,” he mumbled dropping his cigarette and stomping it out as the girl got closer and they made eye contact. “Hey,” he said to her as she got close enough to actually hear him, his voice coming out kind of scratchy and causing him to cough awkwardly. “Uh, hey.”
