Julia

You know, on second thought, I’ll find a different ride. Thanks anyway.

Seth

fuck, wait. i got a little protective, i'm sorry. i'm stopping, i really swear. i'm on my way anyway.

Julia

Look, I know he's a jackass, okay? But I love him.

Seth

okay okay, fine. all i want is to make sure you're safe, that's all.

Julia

Why? You're not my brother. I don't need both of you protecting me.

Seth

no but you've been in my life for a really long time and your family has always been good to me. maybe i'm not your brother but i care about you. i'm not trying to be overprotective but even as a friend, i would tell you that.

Julia

Fine. You made your point. My boyfriend is a jerk. I get it.

Seth

as long as you know and don't let him get away with it that easily.

Julia

I've known, and he always apologizes. Like I said, it's complicated.

Seth

i don't think relationships are supposed to be that complicated...
