BLAKE

SINNERS & SAINTS GROUP CHAT

Axel: HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT

Axel: Our boy Blake is trending on Instagram???

Axel: Dr. Death actually owns a tux and knows how to smile???

Me: It’s called a wedding, jackass. Rich people post everything. You, of all people, know that.

Axel: I wasn’t invited to a wedding with hot, emotionally vulnerable women in formalwear??? This is a crime against humanity.

Axel: Wait.

Axel: IS THAT …

Jace: Tessa. On Blake’s arm.

Jace: Looking very … not sisterly.

Ryker: My sister’s catastrophic taste in men has finally reached apocalyptic proportions.

Axel: WHAT

Axel: THE

Axel: FUCK

Axel: So … that black eye makes a lot more sense now.

Ryker: He got lucky. I was distracted by the shock of finding out my best friend and my sister have been lying to my face.

Axel: That’s it? No murder? No grave? What happened to “touch my sister and die”?

Ryker: Tessa threatened to tell our mother about spring break, freshman year, if I interfered.

Axel: This is bullshit. I was promised violence. I had money on someone losing teeth.

Me: Your disappointment in the lack of bloodshed is genuinely concerning.

Axel: Says the guy who’s been secretly dating his best friend’s sister while treating patients. Very serial killer origin story of you.

Ryker: Don’t push it, Axel.

Axel: Or what? You’ll give him another chance to punch you? *eye roll emoji*

Jace: Are we just going to ignore that there’s apparently a spring break story that’s worse than Ryker’s sister dating his best friend?

Axel: Yeah, why don’t we remember that?

Ryker: You two were both blackout drunk that night, thus your convenient amnesia.

Axel: NEW MISSION ACQUIRED *target emoji*

Ryker: I will end you.

Me: Now who’s making death threats?

Ryker: Shut up, sister kisser.

Axel: Would this be a bad time to mention I finally got that rash to go away? Turns out, it wasn’t an STD!

Everyone: SHUT UP, AXEL.
