Notes:

So this might be my last post of the year! I might not be able to get the new chapter for iwgdtwgdt before the end of 2024, and if that’s the case I want to get this out now.

In April, I was considering quitting writing. I wasn’t happy and this account was just filled with stuff I wasn’t proud of. But then I decided to post something for md. That was the best decision I made. Everyone who commented and left kudos made me realize that people actually liked my work, that it had meaning for other people outside of myself. You guys are amazing and I am so grateful for you! Thank you for a great year!

And without further ado, please enjoy a fic made up of my favorite tropes!

Chapter Text

Sun Dec 15, 8:39 pm

 

Unknown number- hey ray, its willa. charlotte gave me your new number

 

N- I’m sorry who’s this?

 

Unknown number- dude, dont tell me you forgot our code

 

N- What code? I think you have the wrong number. 

 

Unknown number- ray you better not be pranking me right now

 

Unknown number- i got into it with the devil this morning and i already ranted about it to the others. its your turn now

 

N- Again, I think you have the wrong number.

 

Unknown number- damn it, now i know youre not ray

 

Unknown number- hes such a whore for drama, as soon as i told him about the devil he would have dropped the prank

 

Unknown number- anyway, sorry for bothering you. feel free to block me or whatever 

 

N- No it’s fine! Wrong numbers happen all the time.

 

N- And I would be more than happy to listen if you want. 

 

Unknown number- you sure, cause it’s a lot

 

N- Of course! Rants are always better when you do it in front of a non biased audience.

 

Unknown number- oh okay, cool

 

Unknown number- let me give you some context before i start 

 

Unknown number- im a musician and im well known enough to have fans 

 

Unknown number- a few months out of boredom, i did a q&a

 

Unknown number- and a fan asked me about what i thought of this one actor 

 

Unknown number- and theyre a romcom actor and i dont like romcoms

 

Unknown number- so i told the truth and said i dont watch their stuff so i dont have an opinion on them

 

Unknown number- they responded and then we started arguing online. our fan bases are now at war

 

Unknown number- and yeah the rest is history. we keep saying stuff that pisses the other person off

 

N- Oh my gosh, that sounds awful.

 

N- I’m kinda going through the same thing right now, except the person I’m arguing with online was someone I admired. 

 

N- Any way, what happened today?

 

Unknown number- ayyy, pissing off other people buddies!

 

Unknown number- today we argued about talent

 

Unknown number- they felt the need to tweet that i am a one trick pony when it comes to my music

 

Unknown number- this is because i like to write and perform what feels comfortable

 

Unknown number- in my case, that means nightcore covers and songs about my emotional state 

 

Unknown number- i can do other stuff but my job started out as a hobby and no one will ever tell me change what i want to do

 

N- That’s amazing! I can’t carry a tune to save my life.

 

N- And you should be able to do what you want to do. 

 

Unknown number- thats…really nice of you to say

 

N- What did you say back to them?

 

Unknown number- i said they were a one note actor(because all they ever do is act in fucking romcoms)

 

Unknown number- then that led to a debate between the two of us about whether or not either of us could do the others genre(me writing a love song, him doing an emotional scene that had nothing to do with romance)

 

N- I’m sure you could do it!

 

N- The actor sounds mean. I hope you’re doing okay!

 

Unknown number- thanks, but im doing fine

 

Unknown number- its whatever tho

 

Unknown number- hbu, have you gotten into arguments with the person you fight with?

 

Unknown number- or you could just tell me how you started arguing with them

 

N- Oh, you don’t want to hear about that. 

 

Unknown number- hey, you listened to me, its only fair i listen to you

 

N- It’s stupid, really.

 

Unknown number- just tell me

 

N- Where do I start?

 

N- Well it all began in July. 

 

N- I’m a performer and I have been since I was young. It’s been hard but I do love my job. 

 

N- Like I said, this person used to be someone I admired so I was well versed in their career. 

 

N- They’ve always been able to tell it like it is which I really admire and what they put out into the world…It helped me in ways they don’t even know.

 

N- One day my name got brought up on one of their tweets, I don’t even know how it happened but they basically said they didn’t like my work. 

 

N- And that really hurt so I responded without thinking. 

 

N- Looking back, I probably shouldn’t have but I couldn’t help it, I wasn’t thinking. 

 

N- And that set them off I guess. We’ve been fighting ever since. 

 

Unknown number- im sorry, that sucks

 

Unknown number- did you guys fight today too

 

N- Yeah, but it was my fault. I don’t want to talk about it. 

 

Unknown number- thats fine, you dont have to

 

Unknown number- next time something like that happens, you can to me if you want 

 

Unknown number- or not, dont feel like you have to 

 

Unknown number- idk what you want to do

 

Unknown number- bite me

 

N- No, no, no! It’s fine! I would love to keep talking to you. 

 

N- I just have to change your number in my phone to Willa!

 

Unknown number- my name isnt willa

 

Unknown number- its my middle name

 

N- Oh okay.

 

N- You don’t have to tell me your real name if you don’t want to. 

 

Unknown number- ok

 

Unknown number- thanks

 

N- No problem!

 

Unknown number- whats your middle name so that i can put your name into my phone

 

N- I have two, Maddox and Caden. 

 

Unknown number- i like caden better

 

Unknown number- caden it is

Notes for this chapter

-Uzi is a singer, but no one knows her real name or face. She goes to every event and interview with a face covering and she has a stage name, Bat With A Gun

-N is an actor, has been in the industry since he was a child. Due to his status as an Elliot, he has not been able to get out of the spotlight

-They’re such oblivious idiots omg, and they’re about to get dumber

-Uzi was trying to text Thad

-The code Uzi was talking about is for when stuff like this happens and a fan gets texted accidentally. In case it wasn’t clear, Uzi, Thad, and Lizzy all call each other by their middle names

And yeah that’s all for now! Please leave kudos and comments telling me what you think and what you liked because they give me life, make me want to write more, and i love seeing what everyone thinks of my writing. Especially with a fic like this, it’s basically all my favorite tropes shoved together! I hope you enjoyed this first chapter and i will see you next time! Bye for now!
