Hey, wasn't sure when I'd hear from you.

Cass has been great. She's taking care of me. I feel like shit, though. How are you?

Re: [text]

[mediumdrip]

The same.

I'm so glad you have Cass. Everyone at the House has been looking after me too.

[text]

[theshortestbird]

I'm glad, too. I don't know what I'd do without her.

Hey, Blaine. I know that you're not doing great right now, but could you do me a favor? If you see Jubilee... let her know where I am? I haven't really. I want to let her know I'm okay.

[mediumdrip]

I've been staying in Chuck's apartment, but if I see her I will let her know.

I've been avoiding people.

[theshortestbird]

Probably smart. But you're doing it, right? Detoxing? Does it hurt?

[mediumdrip]

Yeah, and it's cold. I'm lucky. If I had been taking it longer, some of the side effects are hallucinations and things. I don't think I'll get that bad.

[theshortestbird]

Yeah. I guess it's lucky the last thing we both had was something that wasn't the first one.

[mediumdrip]

Yeah.

Um, I broke up with Kurt.

[theshortestbird]

How'd it go?

[mediumdrip]

He was surprised by it.

That surprised me. I thought that was how things should have ended, after everything.

I don't like the idea that I hurt him again. I feel like such a jerk.

[theshortestbird]

I know. It was the right thing to do, though. You both were hurting each other. That doesn't mean you don't love each other or anything, but the way things were right then, that was bad for both of you.

Maybe you guys can learn how to be better friends, now? I know that if you date a good friend, you start not being that great of friends sometimes. That didn't make sense, I don't know how else to say it. But if you're friends, you can support each other. Make new friends, see how you hold yourself accountable without each other right there, every single day.

But it sucks. Man, does it suck. I hope you have some ice cream and some break up music. And if not, I'll send Cass over with some.

[The second part of all the texts comes later.]

It's okay to cry, too. Not easy, but it's okay.

[mediumdrip]

I haven't really been crying at all...

You're right though. All of that is right. Plus, giving him space will give him the chance to figure out what he needs to do.

[theshortestbird]

I think you both are going to come out of this thing as better people. More adult. Or just. Knowing what you want out of a relationship. What you want out of yourself.

[The next text is after a good half hour.]

I didn't cry when people died. And then I did. And it felt good. You should try.

[mediumdrip]

Kurt sent me a get well card. I cried then, but I just felt miserable.

[theshortestbird]

No offense, but that's kind of a douche move on his part. After what you two went through? That's mean. I would feel miserable too.

[mediumdrip]

I think that he was trying to reach out to me.

[theshortestbird]

I think he should have waited to do that. Kurt's a nice guy, but he doesn't always make the right decisions. None of us do. But if someone is trying to reach out? Just be careful. It'd be really easy to fall back into the same habits.

[mediumdrip]

I'm trying not to. It's just hard.

He means so much to me.

[theshortestbird]

You can still love someone even if you're not actually dating them. But you need to do things for you, not for him.

[mediumdrip]

I know. I've really lost sight of that.

[theshortestbird]

Yeah. But you can do it. I know you can.

[mediumdrip]

You can too. :)

[theshortestbird]

:D You're such a dork.

[mediumdrip]

>:P
