New Chat

September 29, 6:02 P.M.

Nancy created a new chat with Will, El, and 5 others.

 

Nancy: Guys, I’m really worried about Mike.

Nancy: He’s having outbursts and I don’t think he’s taking his meds. 

Nancy: He’s literally been glued to Mom’s side for like four days. Right now he is drying the dishes for her. It's unsettling.

 

Will: we are worried too, he completely split from me and he's barely talking to El.

 

Max: they've been a lot clingier to me than normal

Max: like we're pretty close normally but it's almost a little suffocating rn

 

Lucas: wait, is this about betty?

 

Will: yes.

 

Max: yeah

 

Steve: uh, who’s betty??

 

Nancy: It’s the name for Mike’s BPD. Will came up with it before Mike was diagnosed to help deal with the symptoms and it just stuck.

Nancy: DON’T make fun of it or I WILL slit your throat.

 

Steve: oh shit. poor kid, i would never make fun of him for that

Steve: so does this mean he’s having an episode or something?

 

Will: yeah. when they split they get really distant and aggressive with specific people and gets really clingy to other people. a lot of the time they get really close to Karen and Max. 

 

Max: wait? why are we explaining this all to steve??? why is he even here??

 

Nancy: I added him on accident and I didn’t know how to remove him.

 

Steve: no wait i want to stay

Steve: i want to help him

 

Will: well you guys don’t have to do anything. i’m going to try to start a conversation with them and figure out what’s wrong.

 

Max: no don't do that. 

Max: i'll try to talk first. they're not going to respond well to you.

loser: please tell me whats up?

 

cringefail: its gonna sound stupid and fucked up

 

loser: trust me it wont

loser: i guarantee i've thought of worse

 

cringefail: ok..

cringefail: sorry i cant do this with our names like this

 

*cringefail changed their name to mike*

*mike changed loser's name to max*

 

mike: ok thats better

 

max: youre procrastinating

 

mike: idk its just

mike: during the Incident

mike: when el and will showed up

mike: and then andy was like "what are you his boyfriend"

mike: will said "i'm not his fucking boyfriend" 

mike: i know its like really out of context but it really hurt a lot

mike: and it really reminded me just how unrequited this is

mike: like he's my favorite person and i'm hanging off of him all the time like one of thsose fucking fingerling monkeys

mike: and he doesnt even LIKE me

mike: he probably doesnt even want to be my friend tbh

mike: and im just making him uncomfortable and annoyed because his weird gay friend has a massive crush on him

mike: but im also just like a jerk to him so i cant be upset about it

mike: we got into that huge fight a couple of summuers ago and i was an asshole

mike: and then i was an asshole to will and el in california

mike: and im just the worst

mike: and yet IM the one whos clingy

mike: im such a bad person and i only hurt people

mike: i just hate myself

mike: and i hate my brain

mike: and i hate my bpd and my autism and my sexuality

mike: and i wish i was straight and neurotypical cause then i could have a normal crush on like el or something and not one on my LIFELONG BEST FTIEND

 

max: okay wow thats a lot

max: do you want me to say what i think or do you wanna keep talking

 

mike: can i say something else first

 

max: sure 

 

mike: you'll think I'm awful

 

max: i already think youre awful this cant change that much /j /a

 

mike: well

mike: sometimes i consider hurting myself again so that somebody notices and cares about me

mike: sometimes i think about people crying at my funeral and it makes me want to do it

mike: i don't want to make the people i care about sad at all

mike: i just want someone to care about me

mike: and it's scary bcus i've been clean for over a year and a half

mike: and it sucks because logically obviously people care about me

mike: but my brain knows that they dont

mike: aghhhhhh idk

 

max: mike thats a lot

 

mike: really no way 

 

max: do you have access to a therapist?

 

mike: i mean we both talk to ms kelley

 

max: yeah but im poor, your parents could probably afford a real one

 

mike: they dont want to

 

max: well for right now

max: lets go over some stuff

max: will doesnt hate you

max: he literally acts like you hung the moon

max: also he's gay so how could he be disgusted by you being gay???/

max: if you found out lucas had a crush on you would you be disgusted??

 

mike: i would kiss him on the mouth probably no offense

 

max: so i wasnt expecting that response

max: but still

max: why do you have such extreme double standards

 

mike: but like its different for me

mike: because lucas is literally the catch of the century

mike: and i'm me

 

max: A. im telling him you said that

max: B. youre literally so cool

 

mike: girl i can taste your lie through the screen

mike: i write finnxpoe fanfic in my freetime and i save rotbtd edits on tiktok

mike: that is so uncool

 

max: ??

max: you literally write books 

max: you dress like kurt cobain

max: you LISTEN to kurt cobain

max: you're not homophobic or racist or sexist or anything

max: so you're cool

 

mike: tbh those are not the standards for coolness

 

max: i hate glazing you this hard but genuinely you are such an interesting person

max: will would be lucky to have you

max: and seriously he probably reciprocates

max: genuinely he thinks your god on earth

max: i cant tell you more but i really think you should talk to him

max: he's hurting a lot right now and he undertsands the reason but you need to tell him all of this

max: i obv cant force you to do anything but you seriously should talk about it with him

 

mike: maybe you're right

 

max: do it before you chicken out /a

 

mike: promise he wont hate me ?

 

max: promise

 

mike: ok well wish me luck

EMO: yeah lucas i dont think you understand just how down bad i was at that age

EMO: when i was 12 will could have told me to put my arm in a blender and i would have done it without hesitation

EMO: i mean i still would but at least now i acknowledge that its because im gay for him and not just because we're ✨besties✨

 

Balls: simp

 

EMO: lucas you literally cannot talk 

 

Balls: 🎀🎀

 

token straight: mike, be honest, how much smut was there

 

EMO: i was 12 dustin

 

token straight: that answers nothing

 

EMO: NONE!!! 😭

 

token straight: will?

 

gigachad: tbh the only part i actually remember was a super romantically charged scene of the characters  on a swingset talking about how they were gonna be friends forever or something

gigachad: mostly i remember that because i was so flattered over the fact that mike used an actual real life conversation WE HAD as inspiration in their writing

 

mother: g a y

 

gigachad: yeah 💔

 

EMO: yeah 💔 

 

gigachad: anyway all that is to say that if mike had showed me gay smut at the age of 12 id probably remember

 

EMO: yeah but also if i HAD written any smut, even baby will would not be able to tear that shit from my cold dead hands

EMO: BUT I DIDNT SO IT DOESNT MATTER.
