it's a paradise & it's a war zone

maddie: you're fine, babe. remember, i dont hate you

maddie: i know....you say that a lot. but idk how believable it is after the millionth time

dylan: i get that.

maddie: no no no, don't apologize..i just don't see why you're fighting it. like, im sorry but i could never hate you. why else would i always try and fix everything if i did??

maddie: you don't hate me, do you?

dylan: maddie, i literally don't think i'm physically capable of hating you

maddie: i invited you over tonight and you're going on and on about how i should hate you. instead of just coming over. you know you want to, so i don't see why you're complaining

dylan: fuck you're right

maddie: k yeah. great. friends. im here for you too. i'll work on hating you fyi.

maddie: as much as i tried, i never could

maddie: trust me, i know i dont. im a strong independent black woman who dont need no man

maddie: that's a lie, i need someone

dylan: you lowkey probably should

maddie: i don't hate you! i could never ever hate you!!!

maddie: you just need your space, you always need your space and to be alone, so i learned how to give it to you

dylan: i'm really, really glad you don't hate me, maddie, but like. i'd get it if you did

maddie: they don't think i'll make it through the year so why trust me in this huge city living by myself? well- i bet they'd make edwin move in, but that'd be worse.

maddie: i mean, yeahh?? i miss us just like, hanging out and stuff.

maddie: why wouldn't i???

dylan: your parents don't know shit, no offense. you're gonna do fine here.

maddie: in one of the freshman dorms. you really think my parents would just buy me an apartment in LA my first year out???? i wish.

dylan: i mean, it's not like they couldn't afford it

maddie: i mean, if you were to hypothetically come over tonight, you might be

maddie: i better have used that word right

dylan: you used the word right, mads

maddie: why is that good tho?????

maddie: what if you're the only dylan i wanna hug? and stuff

maddie: please don't die...seriously, do you need anything? i can get you a gatorade...or like, a hug or something??? idkkk what do you need?

maddie: i mean, i can go meet some dylan's if you want. go fuck them and have you move down.

maddie: i'm good, nothing's changed. how're you tho??? like, am i going to find your body scattered across the beach?

dylan: maddie, i sincerely mean it when i say that you are the fucking worst
