I think you’ve had enough time, little brother.

Elle. We talked about this.

You all talked! This isn’t okay.

I’ve taken Elle’s phone. If you don’t hear from me in the next hour, please speak kindly about me at my funeral.

If someone doesn’t fucking find him and tell him, I’m dropping the bomb in the chat.

Me

You wouldn’t dare.

He asked for time, we need to respect that.

Respect shit-spect.
