Quitting

Just a little recap: Flora's username is SilentBeauty also sorry for the short chapter.


SilentBeauty: You were right. 






Me: Of course I was ;)






SilentBeauty: Almost a little too right. Are you sure you're not psychic or something? 






Me: Flora, not all guys are douche bags. I know whatever this guy's name is, is not some asshole by the way you described him. He probably knew about how you felt about people and tried to take you to a secluded area. 






SilentBeauty: Huh. That or you're some stalker lmao. 






Me: Haha, nahhh. Did you have fun, though?






SilentBeauty: Yeah, I did. Saw a scary movie that made me bust out laughing. Oh, how was your movie by the way?






It was great because you were there.






Me: It was awesome, would totally see it again. 






SilentBeauty: Aww, I'm glad. Did you go with anyone or did you just go there by yourself?






Me: I went with a friend but I don't think they really enjoyed the movie. 






SilentBeauty: Aw, I'm sure they did if you were there haha. 






Me: Flirting are we?






SilentBeauty: Flirting? Oh no, Tj. I'm just being a good friend and letting you think that they didn't enjoy the movie and not you. 






Me: Ooh, Flora, ouch. I need some water with that burn. Maybe you need to bring me some. 






I actually loved seeing Flora be feisty. For some reason, it let me know that she was letting loose a little bit. 






SilentBeauty: Haha, suuure. Just let me hop a plane real quick to wherever you are and bring you water. 






Flora's a smart girl, everyone who has ever talked to her knows that. But for some reason, she doesn't go to the little icon on the top right that allows her to see my location and see I was right across the street from her. Was it a blessing? Yes but also a curse.






Me: But Flora! The burn! It hurts so much. 






SilentBeauty: I'm sorry, my savagery is too strong. You're going to have to deal with it on your own. But just think, you were burnt by one of the greatest people alive. 






Or I could just crawl into her window and get the water myself. 






Me: Greatest? 






SilentBeauty: Hell yes. I've been told that I'm awesome. 






Me: By whom? 






SilentBeauty: Uh, by everyone. 






Me: I thought you didn't talk to people. 






SilentBeauty: ....I think you told me that I was awesome once. That counts. 






Me: Aw, I count? That's so cute, Flora. 






SilentBeauty: Barely. But if there was somehow a fire... I don't think I would save you. You only account for so much. 






I loved it when she was hostile. 






Me: Don't worry, there's no way my house is going to burn down. Nothing flammable except for a couple of things. 






SilentBeauty: ..Like what? 






Me: Cigs.




SilentBeauty: Yuck, you smoke?




It was a bad habit, I was aware of that. But I needed to, Flora along with cigarettes, was one of the few things that helped me with stress and it wasn't like I could keep her in my pocket. Cigarettes had always been there for me and help me through what had happened to me.




Me: Haha yess but I have a good reason!




SilentBeauty: And what is that reason?




Me: I only smoke when I'm stressed out which is not that often.




SilentBeauty: Listen, my neighbor smokes and he looks like an idiot. I don't want you to look like an idiot and have black lungs. Whenever you're stressed out, you can always just message me.




Sighing at the way she said I didn't look cool, I exited out of the stupid little app. It was nothing more than a proxy to talk to her. My fingers quickly went to my messages and instantly clicked on Flora's name. The words began to appear as the little letters were pressed on.




Though the words were popping up, the courage did not. It was time to go back to the app.




Me: So you're saying, if I quit, it'll give me an excuse to message you every day, all the time?




SilentBeauty: If you put it that way.




But which person is allowed to message you all the time?




Me: Well if that's the case, get ready Flora.




SilentBeauty: Bring it on. I only have like three friends, I can handle a couple messages plus you're only up in the night time like some bat.




Me: Hey, the nightlife welcomes me.




SilentBeauty: But does it stress you out?




Me: The only thing that stresses me out is life.




SilentBeauty: And oatmeal cookies.




Me: And also oatmeal cookies.




SilentBeauty: But we're going to fix that. I have unlimited data my dude so message away, anywhere, anytime.




Me: Aww, Flora. You're being so sweet.




SilentBeauty: See, I'm trying this thing where I'm trying to be a better friend to people.




Me: Oh really? What did this guy do to you?




SilentBeauty: Honestly, I don't know. Maybe he drugged my water but I'm starting to feel the need to be a nicer person.




Me: So does this mean you're going to start to talk to people in the real world?




SilentBeauty: Oh hell no, that's too big of a step. I nearly flipped out when seeing all the people at this movie theater. Nah, I'm just going to start with the people I'm actually comfortable talking to.




Me: And who is that?




SilentBeauty: Well, me, you, my mom, my friend named Mel and the idiot who thinks it's cool to smoke.




Me: Maybe he's stressed out too?




SilentBeauty: I don't know man but sometimes I just want to rip it out of his mouth.




Me: And then do what?




SilentBeauty: Idk, probably tell him that he's stupid and shit.




Me: Wow.




SilentBeauty: Actually no, I would tell him that he's being stupid and that it's bad for him but I don't know. He's pretty tall and kind of scary looking. He's a sweetheart, though.




Me: Aw, maybe he'll come around.




SilentBeauty: Hopefully. Oh and I also talk to my other neighbors so I plan on being cool with them.




Me: You should be cool with your neighbors especially when they see something that no one is supposed to see and you need them to not snitch.




SilentBeauty: Exactly, you have to have resources.




Me: You know, I'm your neighbor and I really want to be one of your resources and just message you all the time and squeeze you and kiss you until your lips fall off. The guilt is one of the things that is stressing me out and I want to stop this little Tj persona just so I could be truthful with you.




I couldn't erase that fast enough. If that had sent, it would have been game over and there would be nothing but cigarettes in my mouth.




Me: heh, yeah. Hey, I have to go, talk later.




It was that time of night again where I would sneak out and Flora would watch me. I knew this, she knew this. We were the only two people that knew, thankfully. If I could, I would just talk to her all night but I had to leave.




I was going to also have to quit smoking if it meant that it would help my health and make me look less stupid in Flora's eyes.




And maybe quitting this whole Tj thing.




Aaaand sorry for the short chapter but i hope you enjoyed this one and cleared up any confusion to who this Tj character was. If you still don't understand, Tj is in fact Thorin and he's catfishing! Ooooh girl, I wonder what's going to happen next chapter but we'll know next Saturday ;D Remember: 


Comment; did you guess right about Tj being Thorin?


Vote; maybe it'll speed up the process for Flora to stop being so thick headed and figure out that this boy is trying to talk to her?


Share; know a person who has been catfished? Show them this story! 


Thanks for reading!
