Alonso De Luca

hey

corey

Corey Barrion

Why did you kick Penny out?

AD

Alonso De Luca

because i need to talk to you and i refuse to save your number

did you talk to dylan yet?

Why do you care?

AD

Alonso De Luca

because i’m not the only one who pulled some shit tonight.

What are you talking about?

AD

Alonso De Luca

just watch the video she livestreamed.

You’re really not going to tell me why?

AD

Alonso De Luca

it’s easier if you watch it, okay? and don’t mention it to penny.

and the next time you decide to date someone like dylan, maybe think about the consequences, because she’s a human too. whatever fucked up game you’re playing with her, it’s not going to end well for anyone.

Don’t pretend you understand what this is like for me. I’m doing the best I can.

AD

Alonso De Luca

does “doing your best” include bulldozing through other people’s lives?

You’re really going to blame me for this? YOU?

I’m done with this conversation.

AD

Alonso De Luca

i don’t care. watch the video.

hello? did you watch it?

corey?
