To Make Matters Worse

by Elle Rivers

Charlie truly hoped their marriage lasted.

Oh gee thank such optimism remind m to invitebyou to my wedding

Lauren was always in a bad mood when they were with his friends, and he didn’t understand why.

Well, a persons friends is a reflection of themselves. your friends are the parts of you she can't control, the parts she can't reshape, refine, or in other words; manipulate to do her biddings and cower under her every whim. with your friends, you are more true to yourself because they make your true self come out of hiding. Wake up from it's comma. also, yiur friends have your back, they are there for you. Their job is to point out the things youare too bkind to notice. she doesn't really like you, and around your friends, her grip on you is slipping. anyway thank you all for coming to my TedTalk

As always, Charlie’s use of her last name made her want to stomp on his dreams and make him cry,

I LOVE when women have hobbies yk

And three, Charlie could never see himself loving someone enough to move in with them. He didn’t know if he believed in love in the first place. His parents had failed at it. He knew millions of others did too.

Cool so he has been self sabotaging ever since

“Which side are you defending?” “The dog owner, of course,” Lauren said. “The family is rich. I’m getting such a huge bonus when I win their case.”

Oh it's makes sense that you're a soul sucking succubus that has no soul of her own

Violet’s jaw dropped. He was tall, lean, and muscled. She was realizing how much bigger he was than her, and how . . . manly he was.

Oh hello sailor

Especially after Violet had admitted she wouldn’t body shame someone for something they couldn’t help. Sure, Elijah had done it first, but she doubted Charlie would see it that way.

When they go low i go lowER

He did have Lauren,

Did you tho

“I can’t believe this,” she muttered. “Okay, fine. I’m done. Goodbye, Charlie.” Lauren stormed away but slowed after a few feet, giving Charlie the chance to follow her. He didn’t.

THANK THE LORD

“Of course I do!” Liv said. “You’re helping so much, and I need my best friend there to make sure I don’t lose

Oh so you only want her there to help got it

Elijah looked a little like a rat in fancy dinner wear.

I CAN'T BREATH

Was this how Lauren got away with everything? Would she twist words until Charlie questioned himself and why he was even angry?

Yep. Because she is a devils spawned succubus.

“You let a wild animal into your home?”

I mean he let you in plenty of times and you dont see me say anything about how youre a bitch oops i just did

The last thing she wanted was for him to pity her. Most people hated being pitied because it was shameful. She hated being pitied because it made what she went through real. Sometimes it was easier to pretend it wasn’t.

Girl stop stop attacking me

Charlie was a guy she had a lot in common with.

He was a punk she did the ballet can i make it anymore obvious?

None of it made sense. Charlie wasn’t like this with friends, much less with a relationship. Usually, he would be tired of Lauren in a day or two, and he would need to go home to recharge. The same sometimes applied to Lewis. Violet was the exception, and Charlie didn’t understand why.

IIt's called love you blind buffoon. you love her.

“I want to wring his fat neck until it’s the size of his penis! I want to drag his sorry ass through the mud until we hit the fucking desert, and then I want to make him eat his own sorry excuse for a building brick by brick until it’s sunk in that he sucks ass!”

OH-

She quietly heated up water in the microwave before dunking a tea bag into the warm liquid.

Gross americans like wild animels

“Does it matter?” “Yes.” “Why?” “Because I want them to think I’m worth their time.” “What’s the worst that could happen?” “They could leave,” she said, the words rushing out of her. She looked at her hands, which twisted in front of her. “Is this a new feeling?” He asked. “No,” she muttered. “I’ve always worried about it. Especially when you and I fought. We were always causing problems.”

Me in a nutshell
