Chapter 42
brYAN: Yikes. I just saw those pics of Hannah from last night. How you holding up?
THEO: I’ve told you a million times to unfollow Deuxmoi.
brYAN: Maybe it’s the lighting, but she’s looking a little strung out, man. The ratio of commenters calling her “Mother” vs. saying she needs rehab is starting to tip in the wrong direction. Everything okay over there?
THEO: The band got some bad news yesterday. I guess she wanted to blow off steam. It’s fine. Nothing I can’t handle.
brYAN: What about the guy in the pics with her? That serious?
THEO: Chase Benjamin?
brYAN: Skinny dude who looks like Edward from Twilight? He had his arm around Hannah which got me testy.
THEO: Why?
brYAN: Don’t tell me we’re still playing this game
THEO: Hey, did you hear Allen White from Dartmouth just got busted for running a Ponzi scheme? Isn’t that crazy?
brYAN: You will not distract me with college gossip. We know how you feel about Hannah.
THEO: Friendship feelings. Manager feelings.
brYAN: Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
THEO: Don’t make this a thing, Bry. I’m already having a rough morning.
brYAN: Because the girl you like went out with another guy?
THEO: Because if I don’t come up with a brilliant plan to patch them back together, I’m afraid my band is going to implode.
brYAN: I rescind my earlier encouragement.
brYAN: T? You still there?
