Bartley: my opinion is the least of her worries

Carly: but I’m safer now 🔐

Bartley: You should worry for yourself more, your mammy can look after herself

Bartley: well, she’s got this far, like

Carly: me too 🌱🌿🌼🌻

Carly: must be able to look after myself like

Bartley: I’m glad you worked out Moses won’t

Carly: he didn’t give us much choice but to learn my lesson

Bartley: you learnt it before he messed you up and around too bad

Carly: felt bad but sure it could’ve been worse, I’ve always had that knowing of how hes capable

Bartley: don’t need my gift for that

Carly: I’d never dream of stealing them back even if

Carly: theyre yours

Bartley: I’ll let you borrow them

Carly: what for?

Bartley: what do you think I’ll use ‘em for

Carly: idk watching my ma’s comings & goings for when hes here next

Carly: youre after kneecapping the fella even though I said no

Bartley: he’d be a total idiot if he came back

Carly: he is but she’s already bored by him

Bartley: that’s finally worked in your favour then

Carly: has many a time true enough

Bartley: no need to get her a trophy for it

Carly: I won’t

Carly: be an ashtray if I did

Bartley: use her [one of the gaudy ass vases you have in your house because the vibes are terrible we know]

Bartley: Complimentary 

Bartley: everyone wants good attention, don’t they

Carly: enough bad attention puts yous off the other or has me idk

Bartley: maybe

Carly: course you’d never believe im shy

Bartley: where’d I say that?

Carly: ⬆️

Bartley: Never did

Bartley: was thinking maybe I’ve had less bad attention than you, that’s all

Carly: as said youre a lad its different

Bartley: opposite side of the same shit

Carly: youve the right to tell girls such as erin to away herself home & she’ll be off

Carly: no from the likes of us is a tease im not to be listened to

Bartley: no one here is a rapist

Carly: Im not saying so

Carly: forget it

Bartley: that’s how that sounds and neither of them did

Bartley: you can’t accuse him just because he’s a knobhead

Carly: ive not accused him

Carly: he did what i wanted him to

Bartley: Good, don’t

Bartley: your life really wouldn’t be worth living

Carly: im only pointing out yours is more charmed for being a boy 🍀🐇🌠🎲

Bartley: I don’t carry on like that

Carly: but youre allowed theres no wrong in it like theres in the mistakes ive made

Bartley: My family wouldn’t have me be as blatant as those two are allowed to carry on

Carly: those 2 are a level of it all their own

Bartley: like their daddy, aye

Carly: you’ll still not trap me into having their daddys name in my mouth 

Carly: ive no real death wish

Bartley: That’s wise

Bartley: he’ll treat you no better for being just a girl, that’s for certain

Carly: sense I was born with if no more since

Bartley: maybe he’s yours too

Carly: what

Bartley: ‘course he’s not but it wouldn’t be surprising, would it

Bartley: we all know he’s all the children not with his wife

Carly: a surprise to me if theyre my brothers after theyve both had my hole but except for that nah

Bartley: Christ

Carly: i dont have the look of him, do I?

Bartley: I wasn’t being serious

Carly: its not serious to you youve a daddy around acting as 1

Bartley: He’s not your daddy

Bartley: Ali looks more like them than you, come on now

Carly: I look like my ma to be her sister when she’s after that being told

Bartley: She wishes but sure, there’s resemblance plus some years and some damage

Carly: i know yous reckon on him being gorja anyways not of the community

Bartley: We all know each other

Bartley: even if he’d plans of steering well clear, we’d know

Carly: yea

Bartley: I would tell you

Bartley: if there was talk, swear it

Carly: shes all talk herself

Bartley: Forget about her

Bartley: you’d do better on your own

Carly: stop saying that

Carly: I’d have nowhere to put myself

Bartley: You could get your own ‘van for [however much the tiniest would cost because obviously you know] and have a plot for [whatever much you charge non-fam people per month to live here]

Bartley: when you get a job, you could do that easy, aren’t you old enough to get one yet?

Carly: when im old as u but nvm it wouldn’t pay out how yours see to yous lads

Bartley: maybe you and Ali can go in on one together, next summer 

Carly: shes her own plans by next summer no telling where she’ll be

Bartley: well, she’ll still have to be nearby, she’s her family

Carly: she’ll always them wherever shes

Bartley: do you not want to live with her, like

Carly: id love to like

Bartley: you could ask then

Carly: i cant hold her back keeping her on site cos ive a want to

Bartley: you could go live with them, they’ve 2 less now 

Carly: thats a fucked thing to say, don’t

Bartley: I wasn’t being rude

Bartley: they aren’t all related, are they

Carly: ali’s already lost a sister & the unwell 1 hates me

Carly: id not snap the thread shes hanging on by to get myself in the door

Bartley: just a suggestion

Bartley: she should be in a hospital if she’s not going to listen to sense though

Carly: would you let your sisters go

Bartley: my sisters wouldn’t make themselves sick

Carly: by the grace of god

Carly: its shite being a girl u wouldn’t understand

Bartley: I know she’s not doing it to be attractive ‘cos she looks fecking awful

Carly: she’s happier with a book than a boy

Bartley: She’s not happy though or that’d be grand

Carly: shes time to be before she’ll never be married or have babies like your sisters

Bartley: You have to want it

Carly: what she’s after at only just 12 won’t be forever when is it ever so

Carly: by next summer again who can predict her

Bartley: Yeah, hopefully

Carly: I’ve hope ali wont lose another sister 🙏💙🔮💜🤞🌠

Bartley: Her parents are the ones who need to sort themselves out

Carly: id be 1 to talk about who needs to w the state of me & my ma both

Bartley: Who’s her boyfriend anyways

Bartley: he’s been crying about it 

Carly: mind your business I can’t tell you

Bartley: why not?

Carly: ive promised not to

Bartley: is it a teacher or something

Bartley: I’ll not tell 

Carly: you’ll never get it out of us

Bartley: Ugh

Bartley: well he’ll go find out himself, follow her about as much as he does

Carly: shes the knowing to watch out shes no dope

Bartley: is it really that interesting

Carly: must be to him

Bartley: ‘course it is to him

Bartley: I meant why the secrecy

Carly: ali dont like being the talk of yous lads, you’re after your privacy too, you get it

Bartley: She’s not shy though, not like you

Carly: no nothing like me

Bartley: you’re more alike than most lasses

Carly: are we?

Carly: shes my 1st friend whos a girl

Bartley: you dress similar, like the same music and doing the same hippie shit, yeah

Carly: sorry idk my music was that loud I’ll keep it down

Bartley: it’s not bad

Carly: oh

Bartley: but I don’t need you to buy me no bug or cup to the wall next, alright

Carly: borrow what you like

Bartley: you can borrow my copy of the exorcist if you like, when we get back

Carly: no need for u to watch it again once you’ve me

Bartley: Have to think of some new tricks if you wanna borrow any others

Carly: what if we’re all of us together how you suggested 📺❤️📼💛🍿💚 then what’ll I have to do?

Bartley: Keep behaving, that’s it

Carly: keep laying down the law & ill follow it on

Bartley: messer

Carly: I can’t do what I’m told unless I’m told

Bartley: and who am I to be laying down any laws

Carly: who I want to

Carly: I’ll listen

Bartley: only ‘cos you think I’m a soft touch in comparison

Carly: when have I thought that?

Carly: you’re never soft none of the times I 💭 of you

Bartley: Carly

Carly: you don’t like how I think

Bartley: I might like it more if it wasn’t about everyone

Carly: its not

Bartley: it’s not about me

Carly: no one else is in my 🧠💭 you’re a man alone

Bartley: Why now

Carly: I saw you cosy w erin the 1st time before she was messing & I

Carly: idk it knocked me 🤮 or 💪🥊🤕 or 😭

Bartley: Is that why you felt weird, at Ali’s?

Carly: didn’t help

Carly: but you’ve me since & no one else even notices the half u paid attention to

Bartley: I’m just not daft

Carly: I felt proper cared about 🔐 & then I remembered how often you’ve given warnings & tried to look out for us

Bartley: I meant it, I really don’t want to see you hurt

Carly: youre alone there too

Carly: moses threatened to hurt me & 💭 he meant it

Carly: u know how I regret the others, him most

Bartley: I wish you’d listened about him

Carly: I’ll listen now to everything you say

Carly: do what it is you tell me to

Bartley: don’t you want better?

Carly: what could be better?

Carly: you’re the sweetest when u want

Bartley: so are you

Carly: I’ve to hope maybe you’ll want me if I prove I can be

Bartley: you know that we have to be just friends though, around everyone else

Carly: ali trusts me w her secrets you can too

Bartley: there’s a bit more at stake here than whoever Ali is seeing

Bartley: I don’t want it all to kick off again

Carly: I’ll never say nothing & idc what you need to or how you’ve to give it out to save face in front of em all

Carly: you kept me safe i owe u the same back

Bartley: anyone decent should do the same

Carly: you & your mammy are the most decent people around

Bartley: well, she’s taken I’m afraid

Carly: I’m a bit young for breaking up marriages yet

Bartley: 🙄 don’t start, you 

Carly: when’ll you settle, how long’ve I got to wear you down & make you come round to me like?

Bartley: I don’t know, less rush than my sisters to

Carly: grand ive time to change how you 💭

Bartley: you’ve no knowing how I 💭

Carly: of me ive plenty knowing how

Bartley: only what I’ve said

Bartley: and I don’t say everything that’s on my mind

Carly: k tell me what youre after

Carly: don’t have to be everything but something to start w

Bartley: haven’t I said enough

Carly: please say more, will you?

Bartley: maybe you’ve been the only one on my mind since then too

Carly: maybe since when?

Bartley: 🔐

Carly: it was the longest walk back

Bartley: he’s not come back, has he?

Carly: I’d tell you, I swear it too

Bartley: I’ve never wanted to bang someone out so bad in my life 

Bartley: I’ve never really wanted to before, is the truth, not that you can tell anyone 

Carly: never?

Carly: but you would’ve for me 🥺😢😭

Bartley: I’m not a fighter like [your cousins etc who are better at it/enjoy it]

Bartley: Blokes like that deserve it, and worse

Carly: you’re the bravest for deciding to

Carly: how different that is than doing it w out 💭

Bartley: but I didn’t, did I

Bartley: do anything

Carly: cos I asked you not to

Bartley: Johnny still would’ve, it were the right thing to do

Carly: why isnt the right thing to listen to me im who he went for

Bartley: you don’t keep yourself safe

Carly: I was keeping you out of trouble

Carly: would’ve been my fault too if you found yourself in some

Bartley: It wouldn’t be no trouble

Carly: you dont know that, he might’ve caused it

Bartley: You think I’d get my arse kicked

Carly: no he would & hed be sore about it in all the ways

Carly: as a grown fella who ought to know better than his carry on

Bartley: he’s gone now, it doesn’t matter

Carly: does to me

Carly: you do to me

Bartley: Don’t go all sentimental, it’s not like I saved you

Carly: but thats what it was like

Bartley: As long as you feel safer, that’s what matters

Carly: boy you’re my hero 💚🔐🥊💪🔦☄️🐆🐉🎇🐺🌠🐻🦈🧰🦁🌚🐯🦅🚀🐈⚔️💚

Bartley: Away with ye

Carly: 😶💚 but it were unreal what you done

Carly: noone has ever ever

Bartley: well, you’re welcome

Carly: to chuck myself down [however many flights] of stairs yea 😅

Bartley: hey, you offered

Carly: how else am I to get your attention?

Bartley: who else is going to be there to pay attention to?

Carly: we’ve never been alone before you saved me

Bartley: I don’t make a habit of hanging out with girls like Ro does, be why

Carly: you’ve no bad habits I know

Bartley: sure he’d not call it that

Carly: not w ali

Carly: w me he would

Bartley: I don’t think so

Carly: youre thinking different already 🧩💚

Bartley: I don’t think it’s 🧩💚

Bartley: you’ve slept with him, she hasn’t, that’s what’d be said

Carly: what’d be said by him is he wishes they had & we’d not

Carly: why I’m for the bad & she isnt

Bartley: Until they do and it’ll all be the same

Carly: they won’t

Carly: she loves her bf

Bartley: Yous are just kids, she loves him now

Bartley: Ro is obviously fine playing the waiting game

Carly: wes are not

Bartley: Yes you are, you’ve not even a job

Carly: shes her paper round 😝

Carly: but more important shes a 🧠 & 💓 what are loyal & don’t 🪀

Bartley: No need for the defense, I didn’t call her a whore 

Carly: sure look I can hear you 💭 it

Bartley: You don’t defend your own name like this

Carly: I can’t mine 

Carly: hers I can she’s done no wrong

Bartley: as I said, you’re not that different

Carly: she dont act up the same you cant say so

Bartley: She’s still here, getting attention, what’s so different?

Carly: attention isnt what shes after

Carly: I live here & wes friends

Bartley: If you say so

Carly: ah here, did she or did she not invite you to her house & did you or did u not go?

Carly: why you slagging her

Bartley: I’m not slagging, you’re being over the top about it

Bartley: you talk like she’s some angel

Carly: if u say so

Bartley: Come now

Carly: you come now

Carly: if yous lot didn’t look down on us as hard I wouldn’t have to talk her up

Bartley: For God’s sake

Bartley: if you were half as worried with your own reputation we’d not be in this mess, that’s my point

Carly: its my mess i got myself in

Carly: no we & no need to worry yourself if its such a 1 to you like

Bartley: Yeah, fine, forget it

Bartley: if you’re going to be like this

Carly: me

Carly: nah u

Carly: I’m sorry you wish I was pure & sorrier im not

Bartley: Do you expect anyone to be thrilled about that?

Bartley: let alone me, those are my cousins, by Christ

Carly: how do you expect I undo it?

Carly: I can’t even through christ 🙏📿⛪️💖

Bartley: Yeah, you can’t

Carly: forget it how u said theres the decent thing

Bartley: You got it, Carls, no feckin’ problem

Carly: k

Ali: [Giving as you said that Ali hasn’t been able to get hold of Carly because she’s out with Caleb being messy and she’s also not seen her because McVickers have decided to parent, even if we’re still doing the best we can to get around that lol]

Ali: Oi, bitch, thanks for not missing me at all 😭😭😭

Carly: I wish hed never saved me

Carly: if thats how I felt inside I wouldnt be upside down he’d just b right & id know my place how theys all are after me to

Ali: He probably said it to keep behaving like the others, remembered he’s meant to

Ali: but that’s to mean he was being different, right?

Carly: but there’s no different enough

Carly: even if he 💭s of me the next 1s not far where both his cousins have had my hole

Carly: why would he ever get over that? hows he to? Im stupid to reckon

Ali: No you’re not

Ali: he has a choice, if he seriously can’t, then he can tell you without going over every 💭 about you and that pair

Carly: I can’t be who he wants

Carly: 👗 werent gonna do it

Ali: He’s not sure of that, and that’s why he’s making you 😵‍💫🙃 as well

Ali: if he meant it, he’d not be talking to you, it’d be full silent treatment and avoidance

Ali: Oh God love her, we were all glad when she saw herself home

Ali: but do you think that’s all it were with Bart

Carly: maybe I am a massive whore & you’re to lock johno up from us as well

Carly: that’s what everyone thinks

Ali: I know you’re not

Ali: if that word is meant to mean all the bad they say it as, which is a whole ‘nother conversation 

Ali: you’re allowed to fancy as many people as you like, our hormones are doing the heavy lifting there anyway, it doesn’t say anything about your 💜

Carly: even my own mammy reckons im a wagon or she’d put a stop to her fellas trying to hitch themselves to me

Carly: they all see it of me

Ali: your mammy is too concerned with keeping a man and not enough with keeping you safe

Ali: you know I hate to slag her but that shit isn’t okay, she should castrate any of them that so much as looks at you too long

Carly: yours would

Ali: ‘cos he does care for you

Ali: or he’d not be bothered by any of it, that’s the truth

Ali: 😍😍😍

Carly: [and I won’t feel bad about this girl rudely dipping because she’s now vibing cos it’s a much nicer reason than her disassociating her way out of the chat/having a panic attack and y’all are gonna reunite at school tomorrow and have a day, even though first poor Carly will have to do her Effy style walk of shame back on site in the AM to come and put her uniform on and be looking a MESS even before she fully then has a panic attack outside her own gaff on her way to post this lock to this boy through his door, soz hun that you’re always going through it, up to you boo if he sees any of this or not but god bless, he’ll at least see at some point she has taken this lock off and returned it]
