anything but blue

beth: that's why we have nice rich people who give some money to keep them alive, not all of us are cruel you know.

beth: i don't even remember how my bed feels if i'm being honest, do you?

Thomas: Yeah yeah, you and I are in the minority tho. If only there were more of us

Thomas: At this rate, I could rent out my place on airbnb and make some extra cash bc I'm barely ever there. You and I definitely didn't pick easy jobs.

Allie: And you so willingly let me, I love that

Allie: I'd hope not, but I know how guys are.

Thomas: What can I say? I aim to please.

Madi: Okay, but the rest of you should make up for that.

Madi: You're that amazing, I promise.

Madi: Same here...I scare everyone away

Thomas: You think way too highly of me, I'm flattered really

Thomas: Don't say that. You're probs the least scary person I know tbh

Sam: I know I fucked up

Sam: I didn't know I liked her, I swear. I meant it when I told you to go for it.

Sam: Hey, I'm just tellin you what I feel. We don't know what she feels. Don't cancel on my behalf

Sam: Just wanted to voice that to you, who am I to tell you who you can and cant date

Thomas: Well, clearly you do like her, since you're telling me you don't want me to go on a date with her

Thomas: You would clearly be uncomfortable if I did end up taking her out. I don't want you secretly being pissed at me if that happened.

Thomas: And dk how she feels about you, but I don't want to get in the way of anything

[TEXT]: There’s been something I’ve been wanting to tell you for a while now.

[TEXT]: I’ve gone back and forth, debating whether or not I should tell you.

Sam: But yeah, I might see her as more than a friend and its scaring the hell out of me.

Sam: cant tell anyone though

Thomas: Dude wtf

Thomas: If you like Ellie, then why did you suggest I go on a date with her? That makes no fucking sense

Thomas: I mean, I had something already planned, but I guess I gotta cancel that. I'm not gonna be the asshole that gets in the way of you two if you guys really like each other.

Allie: Always, I’m just so generous.

Allie: I’m sure it would. But I like controlling when you can and can’t see me. With a picture you might just forget about me

Thomas: Mmmm, you definitely like to be in control. That, I can confirm.

Madi: HA HA HA

Madi: the only one i did have, i ran away from. and then ive self sabotaged since

Thomas: Well, I've had more relationships than you, and they all didn't well. They all ended up crashing and burning cause of me. Usually, it's cause I'm unavailable, too busy, or just end up pushing the other person away.

                     just as he asked about her true emotions, hayden found herself feeling more lost than she ever did before. the problem was being addressed now, days after ignoring and running away from it on a daily basis. it was an awful feeling, and she hated the fact that she had to deal with this now. the silence lasted for a few more minutes, until she takes a deep breath and finally looked at him straight in the eye. “i… i guess because my father is… not entirely well.” she says upon swallowing the lump that formed in her throat. “a-are you sure? i mean, i just came here, barging in without even thinking about your possible agenda for tonight, or tomorrow, in that case.”

Thomas swallowed, Hayden revealing the truth about her father catching him off-guard. He was unfortunate enough to understand what she was going through, his own sister falling ill and eventually succumbing to a rare cancer. “Has he seen a doctor? What did they say?” he inquired, his doctor instincts kicking in, quickly looking to diagnose anyone who could remotely need medical care. “And yeah, I’m sure. I’m all yours tonight, Hayden.” He reached for her hand, lacing their fingers together and giving her a gentle squeeze. She didn’t have to know that he had an early morning at work. That didn’t matter right now. It was more important that he was there for her.

“So… I’m really hoping that your cooking is as good as you’re making it out to be. I really don’t want to down a whole bottle of wine and lie, saying that I love it.” Ellie teased as she sat at the counter while the other continued to cook. Plus, she had never been the best liar when it came to her friends. She was sure Thomas would call her out on her bullshit. Not that she was expecting the food to be bad, it smelled delicious and she could feel her stomach beginning to grumble. “In all seriousness – it smells amazing and I can’t wait to see what you managed to put together.”  @thomasxmercado​

“I can assure you, it’s going to be amazing. And if it’s not, you have my permission to call my abuela and tell on me. She’ll revoke my Mexican card.” Thomas laughed, shaking his head. He crouched down, peeking at the enchiladas in the oven. The cheese he’d drizzled on top seemed to be melting as planned. Standing back up, he reached for a knife and a lime, getting ready to put the finishing touches on the guacamole. “I bought a bag of tortilla chips. It should be over there.” He gestured to the far counter. “I’m just about done making the guac, so you can have something to munch on while the enchiladas finish cooking.”
