"I will, but I doubt I'll actually do it. If it means I could loose my job, I won't risk it."

"Of course you do." Tucker joked and looked at his friend with a smile. "Please let me know if you actually do it though?"

[reidthorton]

"Well at least you're not sitting in a jail cell like that JJ kid, so there is that."

"I didn't want to go back to Kildare to begin with, but after that trip, I can honestly say, I still don't wanna fucking go back. I'm glad I left when I did." @ggstarterblog

"I mean, I wasn't going to do it, but now I kind of want to do it."

"As a lawyer, I'm going to say don't do it, but as a friend, I'm going to say that this is only illegal if you get caught, so don't get caught." @ggstarterblog

"Yeah, mistakes were made when you and I became friends." Reid joked and laughed. "I'm doing good man, how about you?"

"That's because we've been freidns for a long ass time, Reid." He smiled at him. "How are you doing though?"

[reidthorton]

"You mean me giving you advice on how to not hurt yourself?" Reid cocked a brow. "Is that what you're fucking crying about?" He shook his head. "You gotta toughen the fuck up if you're that upset." he added and looked at her.

"Well now you know not to trust that person, or anyone, really. Life is better when you don't have to deal with bullshit."

"I surely did not know that this kind of bullshit was about to happen to me when we met last time at the gym. Oh, Isabelle, you've been so naive that you didn't even know this storm was coming." Belle said, more so talking to herself. She wished she knew what was going on but she has been way too busy and way too trusting.

"Spoken like a man who's been through hell." She replied, shooting back another drink. "The best friend thing, I know I can push through it but finding out that our seemingly perfect family was all fake and had cracks all this time?" She said and turned to look at him. "It's just the worst. I know my mom is hurt despite her trying not to show it by faking smiles."

Reid for the Magic and Myth Ball

"Well that's why you don't trust people who claim they can be trusted." Reid shrugged. "Turst and respect is earned."

"Well, that's embarrassing but it's not like I care anymore about those things. I'm sorry, I swear I wasn't looking so I thought you were him." Belle let out a sarcastic chuckle and looked at him. "Yeah, it's like triple bullshit happening all at once and it's because I trusted that bitch when everyone around me warned me about her. Guess it's all my fault anyway." She said and drank another glass.

[reidthorton]

"And this is why you're one of my best friends, you always know what I need before I do." Reid laughed and took a sip of his beer.

"I told you, nachos and drinks were just the cure for whatever funk you were in. Now sit back, eat and drink and don't let any cares or worries get to you." @ggstarterblog

[reidthorton]

"If I look like that Ryan prick then you need to stop drinking." Reid said. He sat down and ordered a drink and looked at Belle. "Sorry that bullshit happened to you, by the way."

Isabelle sat hunched over the bar, mascara streaked down her cheeks, fingers trembling around her half-empty glass. The tears had stopped and started so many times she'd lost count. She wasn't even sure if she was crying from heartbreak or rage anymore, the line had blurred hours ago.

Then, footsteps. Her shoulders tensed. "What? Came to laugh again? I swear to God, Ryan! I will have security drag you out by the throat! I own this place and I'll have you banned!" But it wasn't him. It wasn’t the boy who had two-timed her or the girl who had ruined her. It was someone else.

"Sorry." She breathed, suddenly small in the space around her. She turned back to her drink, wiping at her face with the back of her hand. "Thought you were someone else."

"Look I'm all for daydreaming or whatever, but you smoking means something is on your mind." He shrugged. "So spill. I'm not going to judge and you know that."

"I promise nothing is wrong." Waverly looked at Reid. "I can't just...not be present and daydream for a minute or two?"

[reidthorton]

"Well now you can have time to set up for your next tour, right?" Reid asked. "I'm not gonna lie, I don't know how any of that works, I know how it works for the Yankees and baseball and that's about it."

"My tour went by way too damn fast for my own liking." Annabelle laughed. "It feels like just yesterday it started and now I'm back in Manhattan. Not that I'm complaining because Manhattan has become my home over the past year I've been here, but being on tour is just...freeing as it is stressful." @ggstarterblog

[reidthorton]

Reid raised a brow at Waverly. She was never usually like this, and it was off-putting to him. "Alright Broder, spill the beans or tea or whatever the fuck you and your friends call it. What's wrong?"

Waverly twirls the cigarette between her fingers, gaze fixed somewhere far beyond the conversation at the table. Her brows knit slightly as she exhales a quiet sigh, lips barely parting.

"Yeah... no, totally. That’s wild." The words are automatic, empty. She shifts in her seat, the sleeve of her off-the-shoulder sweater sliding a little further down her arm as her eyes flicker briefly toward her friends, then away again.

"Sorry, what were you saying again? I spaced out for a sec."

She offers a half-smile, but it doesn't quite reach her eyes. Her fingers pause, cigarette hovering mid-air like she’s not sure whether to smoke it or crush it out. @ggstarterblog

"Your tour ends in November, right?" He asked her. "That still feels so far off."

"The tour is going amazing. Every show seems to be better than the last, but at the same time it's flying by. It's going to be over before I know it."

[reidthorton]

Reid nodded. "Well that's good that you don't think she's stalking you." He said. He didn't know who Rafe was talking about, but he knew that people weren't always in their right minds when it came to exes and some people just thrived off of drama.

"No, no I don't think she's stalking me." Rafe admitted. He knew Sofia and she wasn't the stalking type. Well, he thought he had known her, but stalking didn't seem to be up her alley. "I think it's just a cruel joke by karma or someone."

[reidthorton]

Reid laughed. "Well running is one of them and yes, I was going to say that, but there's also cycling, swimming, and dancing. Dancing for me is a no go so we're down to cycling and swimming."

Isabelle set her bag down with a soft thud, twisting open her water bottle before looking over at Reid. "Okay, so what exactly counts as good cardio?" She asked, taking a sip. "Because if you're about to say running, I'm gonna need emotional support and a cute playlist."

[reidthorton]

Reid nodded, not that he would fully understand what it took to be an actor, but he was at least listening to what Colin said. "Well that's good to know." He chuckled. "I know there's a lot that goes into movies and shows but I know everyone is excited for the next season of Bridgerton too."

"Yes and no, we're going through all the rehersals right now, but nothing is really set in stone until after the show airs."

[reidthorton]

"That's a good reason to be here." Reid chuckled. "Have you all begun on the next season yet?"

"I need to work out, I feel like I've been lazy since Bridgerton season three ended." Colin said with a laugh and looked at Reid.
