[He shouldn't take that as a blow, but he does. Allison is more than likely already breaking it off with Scott, so really, Isaac shouldn't be surprised that she wants to change their relationship as well. The second text helps to ease the sudden hurt, but he's still nervous, unsure of what she means or what this is going to entail.
She says it's not going to be the same. He doesn't know how to take that.]
right. yeah its fine.
i guess ill see you when i see you then?
[He doesn't want to take it as ending their friendship, but from how it reads, it just seems like Allison is trying to let him down easy. And he can understand that- really, he can. It's just... not really what he was hoping for.]
[ It's far, far less about that - she'll do what she can to save their friendship - and more about she's not sure how to keep things the way they were with how completely broken she feels. She has changed, whether she wanted to or not, and that will change things between them. She's not sure how, but she knows it's inevitable. One person can't go through what she's gone through and stay the light-hearted, happy person she had been. And maybe that won't bother Isaac, maybe he won't even notice much of a difference in her or their friendship, but she will. ]
Maybe we can get lunch in a couple days? I just need time to get my bearings.
[He takes a deep breath and reads her text, his lips pursed a little- but that makes things a bit better. At least with this, he knows that Allison still wants to see him again. He'll have to take that for what it's worth.]
yeah of course. let me know whenever youre ready. its not like im doing much in the meantime
