Buster & Ava

Buster: What time's your flight then? Ava: To where? Buster: Back here Ava: I didn't know you were doing anything Buster: You're talking to me, not Nance, you do realise that, yeah? Ava: As if she's ever in my inbox to make that mistake 🙄😅 Buster: Exactly, so if you wanna have another go at an excuse, here's your chance, like Ava: You should consider doing invites Ava: where was I meant to RSVP and when Buster: Hilarious Buster: it happens the same time every year, you know Ava: Aren't you doing something with Ri and the kids? Ava: you can't bring a baby to a piss up Buster: Oh, you reckon you're gonna tell me how to raise my kids now just 'cause he's got you doing it Ava: Um, calm down Ava: I was literally just saying I didn't think you were having a party, that's all Ava: so I haven't booked a flight, I'll come see you after Buster: And I'm saying who knew switching your loyalties made you forget how this family does shit Ava: You sound so dumb Buster: Says you Buster: at least I know how to avoid doublebooking Ava: I think her first birthday is a bit more important than your whatever one Ava: it's not doublebooking because I haven't booked anything Buster: To him, of course Buster: what's it to you? Ava: What do you mean what's it to me? Buster: you know what I mean Buster: you ain't her mother, Ava Ava: No, really? Ava: I'm aware, thanks Ava: I can still care, I'm not a psychopath Buster: I'm not saying don't, it's obvious how much you care from how much you've already done Ava: It's not a big deal Ava: party planners are expensive and a waste if you can do it yourself Buster: It's not about you helping him with the party Buster: that wouldn't be a big deal Ava: Go on then Ava: get it all out now Buster: you need to take your own advice and calm down Ava: I'm good Ava: and I know what I'm doing Buster: well then, you should know to leave your ego out of it Ava: MY ego? Ava: okay, take your own advice about taking your own advice Ava: I'm helping out because he needs help, not because I wanna make it all about me, jesus Buster: Like I said, it ain't just about the party Buster: and if he needs that much help, you need to talk to me Ava: Why would I? Ava: you know where to get party bags? Ava: it IS about a party, that's all it is, you're trying to make it into something else Buster: Bullshit is it, you've known him for 5 minutes and during that 5 minutes he's got you doing everything for him Ava: You don't know anything about him or about our situation Ava: he didn't even want me to help, or ask, never mind make me Buster: you wish, he's looking after my kid, I know loads about the situation Ava: she's not suddenly your kid on Chlo's say so Ava: and he's not a babysitter Buster: Nah, she's been mine this entire time Ava: Biologically Ava: and the fact you don't know her isn't his fault Ava: or what this is about Buster: I'm not fucking blaming him for that Ava: aren't you? Buster: Grow up and keep up Buster: if he can't cope with everything that's going on, he should come to me, not you Ava: I'm not the one throwing a strop because my birthday party is a person down, so don't patronize me Ava: or presume about how he's coping Ava: like you're organizing the kid's parties when you're snowed under with work and school Ava: Ri does it all Buster: Don't patronise or underestimate me Buster: if I were snowed under with anything, I'd handle it instead of handing it all over to a kid, which you still are Ava: how about I just wanted to plan a party? Ava: it's fun Ava: you're literally pulling this out of nowhere Buster: I'm glad you're having fun now Ava: oh, shut up Buster: I'm serious, when it ain't parties and you're sick of being their stand in mum, what's your plan? Buster: you can't suddenly take a step back after being all in, that'd come out of nowhere Ava: As if I'm that sort of person, first of all Ava: and secondly, as if James isn't capable of taking the relevant precautions himself to stop his own kids from getting hurt Ava: you aren't the only person in the world who cares, you know Buster: I ain't seen my own daughter yet 'cause I don't wanna mess with her head so you've got the wrong bloke if you believe for 1 second I'm gonna let anyone else Buster: I don't care who it is or what the reasons are Ava: That's all well and good but it's a bit late for the noble act Ava: why the hell did you leave it if you care so much Ava: because it was easier for you, and that's the truth Buster: She lied to me and to him, I shouldn't have to fucking remind you Buster: I didn't leave anything Ava: Yes, you did Ava: she still told you that the baby was yours, and then you took her on her word second time 'round Ava: you can't change the fact that he's been there and you haven't, so you can cut him some fucking slack Buster: you only know his side and that's why you're taking it Ava: That isn't his side, he didn't know about any of that Ava: that's what happened Ava: and yes, it's shit for you, but it is for him as well and you need to worry about how the fuck you're coping, not the other way 'round Buster: if you had any idea what happened you wouldn't be talking to me like that Ava: I'm not talking to you any worse than you're talking to me Ava: if you don't like it, you know where to start Buster: you have control over this, you chose it Buster: I'm trying to help you and you're trying to shit on me Buster: it ain't the same Ava: You're trying to tell me what to do Ava: which is literally what you're claiming to be so against Ava: you're just mad I'm not going to listen because you don't actually know what you're talking about Buster: I'm trying to tell you to think about what you are doing, which you're only so against 'cause you haven't Buster: this fucking whirlwind is all well and good 'til it's got my kid and sister in the middle of it Ava: You wish Ava: I know what I'm doing and so does James Ava: you just don't like it Ava: Jay is as fine as she possibly could be, given the circumstances Ava: and I can look after myself, thank you Buster: Yeah I know, but the entire point is, it's a good job you can Buster: 'course I don't like it, why would I? Ava: Good thing you liking it has nothing to do with the outcome Ava: you can get over it Buster: you already know what the outcome will be as far as you trying to tell me what to do, you can stop Ava: How you choose to waste your time isn't a concern of mine Buster: Lucky you Ava: Whatever Ava: you care when it suits you Buster: I care, full stop Buster: you still ain't talking to the other twin Ava: I know I'm doing the right thing, and what's right for me Ava: and that's all there is to it Buster: And like I said, I'm glad Buster: I just don't want you to look back on it differently, I'm not apologising for that, like Ava: It's pointless Ava: you don't live your life in reverse Ava: people get together and have kids of their own and separate, that's life Ava: you could have got with Rio and that could've not worked Ava: it's bullshit if you think I'm not going to do what I want at the time, for a future what-if, end of Buster: Me and Rio are nothing like you and him Buster: you're full of shit if you think I'm not gonna tell you to slow down Ava: Yeah, it's worse Ava: I wouldn't be under any obligation to see him Ava: you can say what you like but why you expect me to listen is beyond me Buster: Just your niece Buster: And what, you're just gonna leave the other one then, yeah? Ava: I have literally no intention of going anywhere Ava: you're the one concerned with these hypotheticals Ava: I'm focused on the now, my actual plans Buster: 'Cause you're not concerned enough Buster: you don't get the luxury of focusing solely on the now or your plans if you ain't going anywhere Ava: They aren't my kids, as you've said multiple times Ava: and neither of us are pretending they are Buster: What about them? You're there and she ain't Ava: Jay is seven, she's old enough to know what's going on Ava: and Mattie will be told when she's old enough too Buster: Alright Ava: James and the girls have their own plans, and I have mine Ava: it's making them work together, not swapping one for the other Buster: Good Buster: I'm doing my best to make it work with him as well Ava: Yeah? Buster: Yeah Ava: That's good Buster: Good ain't the word for it right now but I ain't giving up Ava: You gotta do what you gotta do Buster: 'Course Ava: as do we all Buster: I know Ava: I'll come to Dublin the weekend after Buster: Come or don't, I ain't guilt tripping you Ava: Well I'll be there, so you can see me or not, I've not seen mum and dad much lately Buster: Don't be stupid, I'll obviously make time for you Ava: Alright Buster: It's not your fault this is a shitshow Ava: It's only hers Buster: Is she gonna be there? Ava: We don't know Ava: she's radio silent, as per Ava: but can't rule it out Buster: You could've just said you need to be there for him in case she is Buster: I'm not that much of a selfish cunt Ava: I mean, yeah, obviously it is mainly for him Ava: but I can wanna be there for the girls too without it being a major drama Buster: Nobody's telling you not to give a shit Ava: I don't think she's going to show Buster: Me either Ava: She must be like Ava: actually sick Buster: She's twisted for sure Ava: Shame she didn't get help when James did Buster: you have to want it Ava: I know Ava: but that's why it's extra fucked that she doesn't Ava: she has 2 kids Buster: You don't have to tell me how fucked she is Ava: I don't get how she got like that Ava: I've met her parents, briefly, they're nice, normal Buster: He's not her real dad, she used to make a big deal out of that Buster: but don't waste your time trying to figure her out Ava: Yeah, I won't Buster: Good Ava: How are the kids, anyway? Buster: Looking forward to my birthday, unlike you Ava: 🙄 mhmm Buster: How are yours? Ava: You're such a dick Buster: but seriously, how is she? Ava: She's good, right now Ava: She didn't really get on with Chloe at all, so she's happy Buster: He ain't totally feeding me bullshit lines then, thank fuck for that Ava: He has no reason to lie Ava: and if she wasn't okay, what are you going to do, get Chloe back? Ava: it's her decision Buster: He has every reason to lie to me, you're not that naïve Ava: Not really Ava: as if you could take her and make it magically all better Ava: she loves James, he knows how to take care of her, even if she was sad about this Buster: I could take her, he's shitting himself about that Ava: You could try Buster: Exactly Ava: I don't think you're going to Buster: No shit I'm not, she doesn't know me Ava: So I'm not worried Buster: I'm not trying to worry you Buster: or him Ava: You do have a party to plan Buster: According to you, Rio'll be doing it Ava: How much planning does it actually take Ava: same routine, right Buster: Everything I do is effortless, everybody knows that Ava: Sure Ava: 👌 Buster: Would hate for you to miss out on that same routine you mentioned Ava: You know what I was saying Ava: not as if you need to book entertainment when it's built-in Buster: Yeah Ava: Is Nancy coming back then or what? Buster: Hilarious Ava: Are you having a go at her in another window? Buster: You're the sister I like, remember Ava: I really feel it 😏 Buster: You're welcome Ava: Mhmm Ava: well I, on the other hand, need to plan more party games Buster: I'll see you soon then Ava: Have a good day, yeah Buster: I will Buster: you too Ava: Thanks, same here
