TOMMY BOY
is joshua staying at ours
while he's here?

CARI
he said he'll stay at a hotel
so if you're not okay with
him staying then that's fine!

TOMMY BOY
no no of course he can stay,
i was just checking:) i'll set up
the guest room for when you
guys get back!

TOMMY BOY
ali's been staying anyway,
obviously in my room but it'd
be nice for the four of us to do
something maybe when you're here?
maybe get food or go for a few
drinks or something?

CARI
maybe, he's not my boyfriend tho
he's just not got plans for the week
before we start filming so i invited
him back !!

TOMMY BOY
i knooow but it doesn't mean we
can't all make plans, love! i've
missed you loads and ali wants to
meet you!!!

CARI
it'll be nice to meet her yeah, she
seems like she's lovely:) you
didn't tell her what happened i'm
assuming?

TOMMY BOY
no no, i didn't know how to tell
her so i just didn't bother. i'm so
glad it didn't make things too weird
between us, i love you cari you know
that :)

CARI
uh yeah
it's not really fair on her to just
keep it from her, whether it meant
anything or not... she deserves to
know tom, i feel awful

TOMMY BOY
i know you're probably right, it's
just scary. what happened has
already caused problems between
us, i don't want it to cause any more
problems

CARI
it's your fault it's caused problems,
tom, you need to realise that and
own up to your 'mistakes'. if you
avoid it forever it's going to just
make things worse.

CARI
between you and alison AND between
me and you

TOMMY BOY
i'm sorry, i really really am.
i'm going to make things right, i
promise. i'll tell her, and i'm going
to do everything i can to repair
what i've done to me and you
because i miss you and hate us
not being like we always have

CARI
just please don't hurt alison, i don't
want her to feel that heartbreak, it's
fucking shit and i know that

TOMMY BOY
i won't, it's not fair on her either
and i know that— but what do you
mean you know that? who broke
your heart?

CARI
ah nevermind, tommy
just make sure you talk to her and
that she knows you didn't mean to
hurt anyone... even though you have
if you value your relationship you'll
be honest with her.

CARI
i've got to go, last table read in ten,
but i'll speak to you later, okay? i
miss you tommy, even if we're not
on good terms lately. x

TOMMY BOY
i'll make things right, i promise
cari, i can't be on bad terms with
my favourite person in the world :(

TOMMY BOY
good luck, love! you'll smash it x
