Hey. Where are you?
                          
Cece
                          
At Candice's with Claire. Did you see Phoebe's Instagram post?
                          
Paul Wesley
                          
I did. Please come home.
                          
Cece
                          
She hates us. I knew this would happen. She thinks I stole you from her.
                          
Paul Wesley
                          
You didn't steal me from anyone. She broke up with me, remember?
                          
Cece
                          
Still, I'm an awful friend. How could I do that to her?
                          
Paul Wesley
                          
Please try not to worry about her.
                          
Cece
                          
I can't not worry. My Instagram feed is going crazy with people tagging me in her post. Someone worked out that I lived in LA and now everyone thinks that I stole you from her. And the longer I wait to say anything, the guiltier I look.
                          
Paul Wesley
                          
Who cares what anyone thinks?
                          
Cece
                          
I do! I never wanted to hurt anyone. Paul, I don't think I can do this anymore.
                          
Paul Wesley
                          
What do you mean?
                          
Cece
                          
I can't be with you knowing that Phoebe hates me, that people think I've taken you from her, that I'm an awful friend. I think we should break up.
                          
Paul Wesley
                          
What?!
                          
Cece
                          
If we're not together, she has nothing to be upset about and we've done nothing wrong.
                          
Paul Wesley
                          
Babe, she already knows we're together. What would breaking up now accomplish?
                          
Cece
                          
If we break up, she'll know how sorry we are. 
                          
Paul Wesley
                          
I don't know about you, but I'm not sorry for falling in love with you.
                          
Cece
                          
You're in love with me?
                          
Paul Wesley
                          
You know what, if Phoebe's feelings are more important than being with me, fine. Let's break up.
                          
Cece
                          
Paul, I didn't mean it like that.

Paul, please reply. Please don't end it like this.

I love you too.
