Finn:
yeah

Genevieve:
all my parents ever say about it is are you off the meds yet

that's practically all my fucking psychiatrist says about it

and my friends, whenever one of them is like “wow my bio teacher is a psycho” they're all shutting their mouths and looking at me out of the sides of their eyes like i'm going to burst into tears or something

because apparently it would be fine with them if I were that badly adjusted, but i'm not allowed to talk about it like it's not a big deal. which it's not, really, anymore. it was a long time ago.

so i just don't talk about it at all

which is fine.

Finn:
well...I wouldn't pretend to know how to help, really, or what the right things to say are

but I'm good at listening

I care about you. if that's not too weird

so...if you ever need anything

and if you just want to talk about jake being perfect, I'm always up for that too

Finn:

Hey there, Genevieve--

Kyle gave me your email. I hope that's cool? I meant to get your info at the convention but it was hella hectic.

Toby feels like an ass for pointing you out like that. Trust me, I made sure of it. I think he thought you were there to be noticed. Clearly he didn't ask me about it beforehand. I would have told him no one had heard from you in ages.

Not to mention that even back then you wouldn't let anyone call you Genny.

Are you okay?

Hi.

I'm okay. Embarrassed mostly about causing a scene and pulling you away like that.

Also embarrassed about being a dorky fangirl over your show.

You were miserable. Even if I didn't get what that meant and why you were seeing whatever it was you were seeing, I should have done something to make you less miserable.
