Charlene picked Rory up from my place at 3:30 that morning. She never stays over, it will be too easy for people to catch her leaving in broad daylight. I don't get to fall asleep easily when she leaves and I end up playing video games until dawn. I then sleep in all day, unless we have a schedule and Jamie is thundering my door like there's a zombie apocalypse.

It was only at 1PM when I saw the #JealousMarkNextDoor videos and didn't stop laughing for 30 minutes. I shared the one with Mark's head replaced with a cartoon bull to the group chat.

Mark: [WTF dude]

~[Wow, ur still alive. I was about to offer a mass for you. #RIP]

Mark: [It's handled. Mind your own business.]

Jamie shared a video.

Burt shared a video.

Steve shared a video.

Mark: [Guys, seriously, WTF.]

Jamie: [You reap what you sow.]

Mark: [Fuck you, too.]

I searched through the GIFs until I found the best one of Mark losing his temper. Jeez, there's a lot! Our fans really don't have anything else to do. Giggling at Mark's ugly angry face, I pressed Send.

Mark: [What the flying fuck, LJ!]

Burt: [Marky, what time is your premiere tonight?]

Weh. Trust Burt to always change the subject just when it's getting good.

Mark: [It starts at 8 but red carpet and cocktails at 7. I'll be there at 6 but in the holding area with the rest of the cast. Y'all better be there or else.]

~[Do we really have to go?]

Mark: [LJ, if you ditch this, I swear to God.]

Steve: [Where is this again?]

Mark: [City Cinema, we'll be at the IX.]

Jamie: [What's this for again?]

Mark: [Jame, you suck balls.]

~[Is there food?]

Mark: [Fuck you all, I have a photo shoot see you all later or else.]

Burt: [Okay, see you.]

~[Seriously, Burt, you're no fun.]

Burt: [You know it. See you later.]

Burt sent a GIF. Of Mark grinding to Hunger.

~[LOL!]

Steve: [👏🏼]

Jamie: [Eww.]

—

I pressed Jamie's name and our 1-of-1 chat came out.

~[I have nothing to wear. Are you home?]

Jamie: [So useless. I'm out, will be back by 5. Getting outfits for me and Mark, will pick up something for you too.]

Jamie: [Next time, tell me 5 minutes before the event, okay?]

~[Yes, Mom! xoxo]

Jamie: [Ass.]

I exited our thread and scanned through my message history. I didn't get far though.

~[Are you going to Mark's new movie premiere tonight?]

My Girl Rory: [Nope.]

~[Why not?]

My Girl Rory: [Why would I even be there at all?]

~[Because you're Mark's friend.]

My Girl Rory: [No, _you're_ Mark's friend.]

~[It's a Friday night out thing.]

My Girl Rory: I have a corporate guesting tonight with the other girls.

~[But I want to see you!!!]

My Girl Rory: [You never even look at me at these things.]

~[But I know you're there and that makes me happy.]

My Girl Rory: ~[Awww, Hubby!!!]

Rory sends a ❤️ and several ❤️s fly up the screen.

~[So I'll see you tonight?]

My Girl Rory: [Nope.]

~[I'm upset.]

My Girl Rory: [Even after everything we did last night?]

~[What did we do last night, you have to remind me.]

My Girl Rory: [Monday, I promise.]

~[Sigh. Monday was a lifetime away.]

My Girl Rory: [I'll let you try the wheelbarrow or whatever it's called.]

~[I love you, baby!]

My Girl Rory: [I love you, too! xoxo]
