Guess who's baaaack!

Longest. Long. Weekend. Ever.

How was everything on your end??

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 05:03 PM
Umm yeah it has been!

What the heck happened out there anyway?

And you don't wanna know. :/

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 05:08 PM
Welllll Josh was Josh. Rae almost drowned in the lake. I think Josh tried to push my chair into the lake at one point too... and something weird's going on between The Evil One and Rae but maybe that's just me after a failed murder attempt. I dunno.

Now you! What happened? Is everything okay?

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 05:18 PM
Damn, I forgot Josh was going to be there. I somehow doubt that went over well. But what do you mean, you think there's something going on between them? If they're conspiring to murder you together, I'll murder them first!

SERIOUSLY you don't want to know! It's this whole stupid mess. Broke up with Chris and Aldon's seeing this other guy and I went out drinking like three nights in a row. Pretty sure I was somebody's bitch one of those nights. Ass stings. And I don't know what to do next. I feel kinda... messed up.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 05:28 PM
It's probably nothing. Forget that!

What do you mean Aldon's seeing this other guy? What other guy? Why does he need another guy when he has you?!

And you

Broke up with the human?

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 05:34 PM
...okay? I will. For now. But we're getting back to that later.

And yes! Aldon's with some other guy. Seems serious. At least... I've never seen him so... uh into somebody else before. He doesn't have me though. It's a long story and it's such a headache.

Well. He found out about what I did with Aldon. I don't think it was going to make it. The relationship. Cheating. You know.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 05:44 PM
(Thinking: "It's ONLY a human.")

Aldon's dated other people before though. And he's always come back to you.

Now I wish I hadn't left this weekend! If only I was here! At least

I could've saved your liver from all that drinking. You really shouldn't, you know.

Do you want me to come over and stay with you for a few days?

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 05:46 PM
Yeah but what if he doesn't this time? Besides... I might have asked a friend to set me up with somebody...

You just want to babysit me, don't you?

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 05:52 PM
Ry

Don't you think you should wait a little before you try to date somebody? I'm not sure seeing someone so soon after the human and Aldon is a good idea. : (

Although I think Aldon will come back. I can talk to him!

And NO! I just don't want you to be alone, that's all.

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 05:56 PM
I'm just looking for a good time, not a romance, sheesh.

But yeah, maybe you should come. I might end up doing something stupid.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 06:05 PM
Ry, I know you, and 'a good time' isn't really going to be 'a good time' when you're fresh off a break-up.

I can be over tomorrow night. Want me to bring Mr. Cuddles too? I just had him re-stuffed. :P

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 07:29 PM
I want to argue with you so bad but I got nothing.

Wait.... you still have Mr. Cuddles?! I thought he was ruined by that neighbor dog!

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 07:34 PM
Alva's power of logic strikes again!  :D

I kinda. Um. Did some surgery on him. So he's not 100% Mr. Cuddles but he's close enough!

Rae calls him Frankenstein (jerk) but I think he still looks good! And he's still cuddly! I'll let you borrow him IF you promise to stay off the bottle.

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 07:58 PM
Oh stop, you with your logic and your brain!

Now I'm curious. How bad does he look?  lol

You make me sound like an alcoholic! It was just a few bad nights, that's all.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 08:08 PM
You can thank my logic and brain later!!

He looks fine! Don't be like Rae!!

Want me to bring anything else?

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 08:31 PM
I'm nothing like Rae! I love and appreciate Mr. Cuddles, even with all his faults, thank you very much!

Yes. Bring
alcohol
a hot guy

oh shit

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 08:35 PM
What oh shit?

No booze! And the only hot guy you get is Mr. Cuddles

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 08:56 PM
Aldon just texted me
but I think it was a mistake.

I should just ignore it, right?

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 09:00 PM
What dod he sry

What did he Say??

(typos cause he got over excited)

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 09:02 PM
"I miss you Mom."

Oh and "Dad."

O.o

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 09:06 PM
...

Pretty sure "Ryland" and "mom" aren't spelled the same way.

I think

He's just covering up

In a weird way...

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 09:09 PM
Then what's he doing?

I should have ignored it! What's wrong with me?

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 09:13 PM
Maybe

He just misses you, Ry.

You know, same way you miss him and that's why you answered.

You guys just can't seem to get on the same page at the same time!

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 09:15 PM
Why though? It's been a while. Why does he always just appear out of thin air like this?

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 09:21 PM
I dunno

What's he even saying to you right now?

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 09:23 PM
That he's at the park.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 09:29 PM
Sooooooo

Wear your blue jacket

And maybe that white shirt i got you last Christmas

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 09:30 PM
....are you encouraging me to go?

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 09:35 PM
No i want you to dress up for me 

YES! GO TO HIM!

Just. Take it slow this time. Don't jump right to the makeup sex

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 09:37 PM
Uh

haha

yeah, that was a really bad idea last time

not like we planned it that way but

i'll be careful

love you, Alva! <3

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 09:39 PM
It was a bad idea the last 4 times!!!

Love you too! I'm still.coming over tomorrow!

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 09:42 PM
Yeeeeah don't remind me.

And if you don't come tomorrow, something horrible will happen so you have to keep that promise! (And bring Mr. Cuddles. I need to see what you did to him.)

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 09:44 PM
Okay!!

But I swear to god Ry, if i find Ald in your bed or hiding in your kitchen cupboard, I'll gonna run you guys over with my chair!

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 09:50 PM
He won't be there. We're not sleeping together again. It's all good. Swear.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 09:53 PM
I hope so

I'm praying for you guys!! Good luck!!!!!

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 09:57 PM
Thanks.

And...

just to be sure...

maybe try calling or texting in an hour.

you know, just in case.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 10:04 PM
Ffs you guys

But okay, I'll cockblock.

An hour and then I'm calling in the SWAT team to pull you guys apart!

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 10:07 PM
I'm just saying, I have no self control right now.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 10:12 PM
I'm not sure what to say to that in this situation

Now I'm just imagining you jumping on him in the middle of a park

I hope there are kids there so you won't. At least if you HAVE to, take it into some bushes okay?

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 10:19 PM
....god, I sound desperate..

I'm not that desperate.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 10:26 PM
You're not desperate silly

You're in love

It's like how I feel about Rae

He's the air; he's all around you, everywhere you go. You notice him most when he's gone.

Even if you try to hold your breath, you can only hold it for so long before you need to breathe.

It's just... how it is.

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 27 2017, 10:39 PM
You know.

This sounds so awful but when we first met Rae I never in a million years would have thought it'd be you two. But it makes sense when you see the way you look at each other.

I wish I loved somebody else more sometimes.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 27 2017, 10:51 PM
Do you really?

Or are you just saying that because you don't know how to keep Aldon from being

Aldon?

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 28 2017, 08:22 AM
Well when you put it that way......

I don't know. I don't want him to be anybody else.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 28 2017, 09:09 AM
But you're also not happy with who he is right now are you?

You know, when Rae and I started dating, i didn't like much of what he said and did either. The whole shifter thing and all. But I didn't know how to change him.

Turns out he changed on his own, just by being with me. We stuck it out. Maybe it's like that for you guys too. You just need to be patient with Aldon.

He's changed a LITTLE hasn't he?

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 28 2017, 09:51 AM
You make it sound so easy. But it's not always me. He's the one pulling away. What am I supposed to do? Hold him down?

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 28 2017, 10:02 AM
Hey i never said it was easy! Staying with Rae was the hardest thing I've ever done! You don't remember the first year we were together? How many mental breakdowns I had??

I'm just saying. Be patient. You do have a habit of getting frustrated and then wanting instant results. Maybe Aldon's just. Slow.

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 28 2017, 10:25 AM
Hah. There's no maybe about it.

I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm an idiot.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 28 2017, 10:37 AM
...I was trying to be nice but yeah. He's. Special.

Are you almost there? Is he there??

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 28 2017, 11:34 AM
No. But I think we're meeting tonight.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 28 2017, 11:41 AM
Tonight?!

What are you going to say to him??

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 28 2017, 12:06 PM
I don't know. I guess whatever comes to mind.

Why? Should I have a plan??

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 28 2017, 12:09 PM
Yes? Blurting out whatever is a terrible idea!

At least.

Make up your mind about him. I mean if you want to stick with him or not

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 28 2017, 12:12 PM
God. I was just telling Jason that I wanted to move on and I felt SO SURE about it.

But I also spent three nights straight drinking myself asleep so I didn't have to think about him.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 28 2017, 12:14 PM
What Jason? Rae's brother?

You still have it bad for Aldon after all this time huh? Doesn't that kinda tell you something? 

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 28 2017, 12:26 PM
Yeah, we ran into each other the other day.

I guess. I mean...

Yes. It's obvious. But everybody says he's terrible for me.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 28 2017, 12:29 PM
Weird! Last I heard he was getting married or something!

And everybody said Rae was bad for me too.. buuuuut you know.

Maybe this time will be different. He usually waltzes up and you let him back and you guys do the same old song and dance.

But right now you're talking, right? There's progress at least!

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 28 2017, 12:32 PM
You heard about that?! I had no idea. I guess he ended up not getting married after all or something. :/

Hah... I remember being one of those people. Rae's uh... hard to get along with.

How do I NOT et him waltz back in then? I don't know how to deal with him without falling right back into old habits.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 28 2017, 01:25 PM
Oh. :( That's terrible...

Just. Say no! No sexytimes until you work out your differences! No more letting Ald get away with murder!

You spoil him, you know. Terribly. I know he pulls that hurt act and then you get all mushy.

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 28 2017, 01:33 PM
Yeah. I don't know all the details and he played it off like it wasn't anything. Kinda funny though. The guy's name was Josh. Try to imagine that. Haha.

I know I do. I feel like he knows it too.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 28 2017, 02:25 PM
I just shuddered irl

Wonder what happened to them though. :\ Marriage. It's not something people go into randomly is it?

Ald definitely knows. You gotta be tough with him Ry! For his own good!

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 28 2017, 05:01 PM
Sorry.

I'm not sure. He was saying stuff about not being compatible.

I'm tough with him!

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 28 2017, 05:27 PM
..bit late to find out AFTER the engagement don't you think???

You're about as tough as a wet paper napkin Ry! You always cave! He makes with the puppy dog eyes and he does that thing where he tries to be funny but it's jut sad, and then you feel bad for him and before you know it, you're in bed together.

This time be mean! Don't let him have his way with you! You're the boss!

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 28 2017, 05:38 PM
I don't know. I didn't ask many questions. I figured if he wanted me to know, he'd tell me.

And I mean. I can try being mean. Not all the time thought, right? Just when he pulls that ridiculous puppy face. Right?

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 28 2017, 05:42 PM
You're already weakening and you haven't even confronted him with his puppy face yet!!!

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 28 2017, 06:59 PM
I am not!

Okay

Puppy face me and I'll be tough.

Do it!

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 28 2017, 07:07 PM
And if that doesn't work

I'll run him over

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 28 2017, 08:52 PM
Haha

But please don't.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 28 2017, 10:07 PM
I will! You just watch!

So what're you doing until the big meeting?

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 29 2017, 07:36 AM
I'm not sure. Prepare a speech?

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 29 2017, 07:45 AM
That you'll probably forget the second you lay eyes on him.  :P

How about I get Rae to hide behind a tree, and then if it looks bad, he can run out and tackle Aldon.

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 29 2017, 08:07 AM
That would be hilarious.

But also embarrassing.

I won't do something stupid. I swear.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 29 2017, 08:27 AM
Okay. I was just being silly. You'll do fine!

I believe in you Ry!! GOOD LUCK

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 29 2017, 08:58 AM
Thanks. Going to need it.

Posted by: ALVA REN Jul 29 2017, 09:14 AM
Remember

Be tough!

See you tomorrow! Mr. Cuddles and I will drop by around 7.

Posted by: RYLAND REN Jul 29 2017, 09:38 AM
See you then. :)
