Jack: How's your host family treating you so far? Are they nice?

Alex: Yeah, they welcomed me with a huge peanut butter cake and their kids came over, even the ones that don't live in the house at the moment.

Alex: Ugh, I miss you guys already!

Jack: We miss you too :c

Alex: How's everything without me over there?

Jack: Rian and Cass are still together. Zack's got a girlfriend but he claims she's too shy to meet us. How are things over there?

Alex: Things are okay. I've met the whole family now and they're slowly showing me around, although I spend most of the time with their kid Lucas. He's our age and likes the same music as us, how cool is that? You'd like him.

Jack: Ah that's great. Yeah that's cool.

Alex: And you?

Jack: What about me?

Alex: How are things?

Jack: Alex, you've been away for a week, nothing has changed.

Alex: Well, you just said Zack's got a girlfriend!

Jack: Doesn't mean I have one too!

Alex: You need to get laid man..

Jack: It's not that easy, dude!

Alex: I know, I've seen a few cute girls at school this week. Everybody keeps staring at me because I'm new.

Jack: I bet. You manwhore.

Alex: Not yet, Barakat. Not yet. I think Lucas and I are going out now, I'll talk to you later yeah?

Jack: Yeah sure, have fun.

WEEK 2

Jack: I got tickets to Blink today.

Alex: What?! I didn't even know they were coming here!

Jack: Well, not exactly there but here.

Alex: Why do I have to be here again?!
Jack: Because you wanted to go abroad on your last year of college? I don't know man, but you're going to miss out big time.

Alex: Fuck.

Jack: They'll come again some time soon, don't worry.

Alex: You're all going? Zack, Rian and Matt?

Jack: Yeah, Matt is going to drive us there in his van.

Alex: Fuck.

Jack: Alex, you'll go with us next time.

Alex: No, you don't understand! They're our favourite band, I thought we'd see them for the first time together!

Jack: Well, if only you could come up here for the concert..

Alex: When is it?

Jack: December the 6th.

Alex: No..

Jack: I know..

Alex: This is the worst day of my life, that is until the day of the concert.

Jack: Maybe you could tell the family about it and come here with Lucas?

Alex: Ah that's a great idea! He loves them too!

Jack: Problem solved.

Alex: Ugh Jack, what would I do without you?

Jack: You'd be lost.

Alex: I'm lost without you.

Jack: I bet you sang that part.

Alex: You know me so well.

Jack: How's school?

Alex: It sucks. Everything is so different here.

Jack: I'm sure you're doing more than fine.

Alex: I'm really not. What about you? Zack told me you have exams in a little over a week.

Jack: Yeah.. I'm slacking a bit.

Alex: Mr. A plus is slacking at school? Whoa what's happening?!

Jack: Ha-ha, very funny.

Alex: No really, is everything okay?

Jack: Everything was easier when you were here.

Alex: I'll be back soon.

Jack: No, you won't. Dirty liar.

Alex: Okay, okay, I won't, but time passes by so quickly! Come on, it's been almost a month already, just a few months to go.

Jack: Alex. 6 months aren't "a few"..

Alex: Let's just be patient.

Jack: So what did the family say about Blink and coming here?

Alex: They said no.

Jack: What?! It's your birthday and Christmas though! They have to let you come over for a few days or a week at least!

Alex: Sorry J.

Jack: Whatever.

Alex: Hey, it's not my fault! I tried my best to convince them to let me go!

Jack: It was you who wanted to go away!

Alex: Don't start this, J. We've talked about this before.

Jack: Whatever, I'm off here.

WEEK 5

Jack: Hey.

Alex: So you've decided to come on again?

Jack: I'm leaving again if you keep being an asshole.

Alex: I'm not! We were just talking and you snapped just like that!

Jack: I just thought they'd let you come over for a few days before the course was over.

Alex: I know.. I thought so too, but the education system is different here; we have exams when you have break and vice versa.

Jack: I still can't believe you're not going to see Blink with us.

Alex: Please don't remind me.

Jack: So, any luck with chicks over there?

Alex: Dude, all of them want me! They keep flirting with me but Lucas said they do that with everyone new so.

Jack: Have you made any more friends other than Lucas?

Alex: Yeah, there's Max, Vic, Adam and their group of friends. We're still getting used to know each other.

Jack: That's cool. I hope they are nice (:

Alex: Is someone jealous?

Jack: Huh, why would I be jealous?

Alex: Because I'm making new friends here.

Jack: You can't replace me. I'm your best friend and I'm going to slice you open if you ever think of replacing me.

Alex: I wouldn't even think about it.

Jack: Good.

Alex: You are my only one.

Jack: Alex..

Alex: What?

Jack: Don't start this.

Alex: But I love you

Jack: Alex!

Alex: What? Don't you love me?

Alex: I've talked to Rian.

Jack: Yeah? About what?

Alex: You and what's up with you.

Jack: What did he tell you?

Alex: Some things you've been hiding from me.

Jack: Like what.

Alex: Like the fact that me having a girlfriend bothers you.

Jack: That's not true.

Alex: Really?

Jack: Why would it bother me? Good for you, man.

Alex: Jack.. I know you.

Jack: I'm fucking serious okay? Idk what Rian told you but that's not true so fuck him.

Alex: Are you sure? You're getting pretty defensive over this.

Jack: I'm going to leave if you're going to act like a child.

Alex: I'm not being a child, I'm just trying to talk to my best friend.

Jack: Well, your best friend might not want to talk to you.

Alex: Fuck you, Jack. You're an asshole.

Jack: I don't care.

-

Jack: Rian, what the hell did you tell Alex?

Rian: I didn't tell him anything, dude.

Jack: He said you told him that him having a gf bothers me.

Rian: Well, doesn't it bother you? That's just the impression you give when we talk about her.

Jack: I just miss him and all you talk about is his gf.

Rian: Well we miss him too.

Jack: Sure..

Rian: We do, just not the way you do.

Jack: What do you mean?

Rian: C'mon Jack. It's obvious that you like him. You talk about him 24/7 even when you don't have anything to say about him.

Jack: What?! No, I don't! I'm not a faggot!

Rian: If you say so.. Sorry man.

Jack: Whatever. Fuck all of you, I'm tired of everything.

Alex: Today is going to be the final day.

Alex: Jack please...

Alex: Well, I'm going to sleep.

Jack: Hey.

Alex: I was going to sleep..

Jack: Sorry, I won't bother you.

Alex: Since when can a best friend bother the other?

Jack: I haven't been the best friend ever lately.

Alex: You can tell me anything, you know that right? What's wrong?

Jack: I can't..

Alex: What? Why? You're supposed to be my best friend. We're supposed to trust each other.

Jack: Sorry Alex, I really can't..

Alex: Right.. Well, tell me when you're ready, or whatever.

Jack: Alex, please don't be mad at me.

Alex: How can I not be? We don't even act like friends. I don't even know who you are anymore.

Jack: Neither do I.

Alex: Well, figure it out and let's be friends again, yeah?

Jack: Yeah, I need to sort some things out.

Alex: Alright. I'll talk to you tomorrow?

Jack: Yeah. Goodnight.

Alex: Cya.

-

WEEK 10

Jack: Rian, you were right.

Rian: About what?

Jack: About me liking Alex.

Rian: Holy shit!

Jack: Please don't tell Alex..

Rian: You need to tell him yourself!

Jack: No way! He'll hate me and never talk to me again.

Rian: You two are best friends, he's not going to hate you.

Jack: What's the point though? He's not into guys and he has a gf.

Rian: He's going to break up with her.

Jack: What? Did he tell you that?

Rian: Yeah, he told me yesterday. He doesn't like her anymore, he likes someone else.

Jack: Do you know who?

Rian: No, but I have an idea ;)

Jack: Don't be silly -.-

Rian: Just talk to him!

-

Rian: Alex! Hi!

Alex: Hello Rian xD

Rian: You didn't tell me who you like yesterday.

Alex: It's kinda complicated..

Rian: I know! Haha

Alex: You know? You know what?

Rian: Your feelings for him?

Alex: Ohmygod. Is it that obvious?

Rian: Of course it is!

Alex: So.. are you okay with me being.. you know, attracted to a guy?

Rian: Are you serious? Of course I am! Dude, I'm happy if you're happy. Do you plan on asking him out or?

Alex: Thanks man.. And I'm not sure, I see him every day but I don't know how he'll take the news. I might wait for a while.

Rian: What do you mean you see him every day?

Alex: Well.. we live in the same house so I do see him every day xD

Rian: Oh shit.

Alex: What is it?

Rian: You're talking about Lucas, aren't you?

Alex: Yeah? Who did you think I was talking about?

Rian: Shit, no no no.

-

Jack: When are you coming baaaaack? I miss you.

Alex: Soon! Right after the Blink concert..

Jack: How many days after the concert?

Alex: 3.

Jack: Oh god. You're going to miss them just because you have to come home three days after the concert?

Alex: Will you stop reminding me, please? Haha.

Jack: Just come home :c

Alex: I wish I could! I miss you too.

Jack: Oh, I need to tell you something by the way.

Alex: So do I!

Jack: Go ahead.

Alex: No, no, you mentioned it first.

Jack: Ladies first haha.

Alex: Okay.. Well, I have feelings for someone.. And they're not a girl, so I was wondering if you were okay with that?

Jack: Ohmygod. That's.. great, actually. I'm glad you told me this.

Alex: I was so afraid I'd scare you away or something.. I don't want you to think I'm going to act any different around you or anything.

Jack: So.. who do you like..?

Alex: Do you remember Lucas? The guy I'm living with.

Jack: Oh.. That's- that's great (:

Alex: Yeah, but I don't know what to do about it.

Jack: Ask him out.

Alex: You think I should? What if he says no or he freaks out?

Jack: Yeah I think you should. He'll be thrilled.

Alex: Thanks, Jack (: What was that you needed to tell me?

Jack: Oh, nothing. It's not important.

Alex: Come on! I opened up to you, please tell me!

Jack: I like someone too.

Alex: Oh! That's great! Does she like you back?

Jack: Yeah. I asked her out. We're dating.

Alex: Holy hell. That's amazing! I'm so happy for you :3

Jack: Thanks (:

Alex: What's her name?

Jack: Olga.

Alex: I shall meet her.

Jack: Yeah, when you come back.

Alex: Soon!

-

WEEK 11

Rian: Jack, are you crazy? Why did you tell him you're dating someone?

Jack: He likes Lucas.

Rian: I know, but still.

Jack: You knew?

Rian: Yeah, he told me before you told him that lie.

Jack: I'm going to ask her out.

Rian: Are you crazy? Why?

Jack: Because I want to. I want to forget about him.

Rian: You can't. He's your best friend.

Jack: Well, I just want to get over him, okay?

Rian: Do you even like her? Does she even exist?

Jack: Yeah, she's in our English class, dumbass.

Rian: Right, whatever.

Jack: I know it's the best decision I can take.

Rian: Let's ask Zack.

Jack: Zack knows about this? Why did you tell him!?

Zack: Heyo. We already have a group on fb..?

Rian: Yeah but Alex is in it.

Jack: Ugh fuck all of you.

Zack: What's going on?

Rian: Tell Jack having a fake gf isn't going to make his feelings towards Alex go away.

Zack: That's true. Just tell Alex how you feel about him.

Jack: He likes someone else, so what's the point.

Rian: Zack, just so you know, he told Alex he's dating a chick.

Zack: What?! Why?!

Jack: UGH.

Rian: I'm going to tell him it's a lie.

Jack: RIAN NO.

Zack: Yeah, and I'm going to tell him you have a crush on him.

Jack: ZACK NO.

Rian: He doesn't have a crush on him, he loves him.

Zack: Ohhhhhh.

Jack: I'm going to kill you two if you do any of that.

Rian: Tell him yourself or we will.

Jack: FINE. FFS.

Zack: Get me out of this group. You guys are such drama queens.

-

WEEK 12

Alex: He said no.

Jack: Huh?

Alex: Lucas. He said no.

Jack: Shit. I'm sorry.

Alex: I feel like shit.

Jack: Hey, don't. He's an asshole.

Alex: No, he isn't. He's like, the sweetest guy I've ever met.

Jack: Woah I'm offended.

Alex: You're the second one, don't worry.

Jack: Still, dude. Harsh.

Alex: Jack, I'm hurt.

Jack: What do you want me to do about it?

Alex: Make it better.

Jack: How?

Alex: I don't know! Just make it better!

Jack: Alex.. I know you're hurt but being like this isn't going to solve anything. Just relax and let it go.

Alex: It's going to be so hard to walk around the house knowing that he's here.. And we still have to drive to school together and come back together.. Ffs I hate life.

Jack: Don't worry about it too much, okay? We're teenagers, this isn't a movie, he isn't going to hate you or anything.

Alex: I just thought he'd want to.. You know, be with me.

Jack: There are lots of guys in the world.

Alex: And girls.

Jack: You swing both ways?

Alex: Yeah, just because I'm attracted to guys doesn't mean I don't like girls.

Jack: Fair enough, I'm glad you've realised this.

Alex: I'm going to buy ice-cream and eat it all.. Be right back x.

-

WEEK 13

Alex: So how are things with Olga?

Jack: Pretty good.

Alex: That's all?

Jack: Yeah? What do you want me to say?

Alex: I don't know maaaan. She's your first gf. How far have you gone with her?

Jack: Making out.

Alex: Are you serious?! C'mon I thought you'd be all over her by now!

Jack: Alex.. It's been like two weeks!

Alex: GET LAID.

Jack: NO.

Alex: Why the hell not!?

Jack: Because I don't want her like that!

Alex: She's your gf!

Jack: Still! I don't want my first time to be with her. I don't want my first anything to be with her.

Alex: Why even are you with her then?

Jack: Because she's nice, okay?

Alex: Everyone is nice and you're not dating them.

Jack: Whatever.

Alex: Jack, what you're doing isn't right. She likes you and you're using her.

Jack: I'm not using her.

Alex: It'll come a time when she's going to want to do more than make out with you. What will you tell her then?

Jack: I'll say no.

Alex: Why? Don't you want to live a little? Get laid? Experience?

Jack: Not with her, okay? You're putting me in a bad mood.

Alex: With whom then!? And you're putting me in a bad mood too!

Jack: I don't want to argue with you, let's forget this.

Alex: Fine.

Jack: Do you miss your parents?

Alex: I miss their food.

Jack: That's harsh xD I'd miss mine so bad.

Alex: I feel bad because I don't miss them.. Do they miss me?

Jack: Maybe it just hasn't kicked in that you've moved out. And yeah, they always ask me about you when they come around for tea. You should talk to them.

Alex: I call them once a week, I do talk to them.

Jack: Well, that's good.

Alex: Are you organising everything for the concert?

Jack: Yeah.. Everything's done.

Alex: I'm dying inside.

-

WEEK 13

Jack: We're leaving for the concert.

Alex: And I'm in class..

Jack: We should be in class too but we want to be in the first row.

Alex: I'm so jealous of you right now.

Jack: Hold on we're driving there.

-

Jack: Hey sorry, I had to drive.

Alex: What time is the concert?

Jack: 7PM.

Alex: Jack, it's 11AM. What the hell!?

Jack: Dude I want to be on the first row!

Alex: Fair enough, fair enough.. Have fun for me, okay?

Jack: Will do.. We can still talk until it starts.

Alex: I'm in class though and the teacher is going to tell I'm on my phone.

Jack: Talk to you when you're done with class then?

Alex: Yeah, ttyl x

-

Alex: All done.

Jack: We're meeting so many people in the line.

Alex: Who exactly did you go with?

Jack: Rian, Zack and Matt. Oh and their gfs.

Alex: What about Olga?

Jack: She doesn't like Blink.

Alex: Woah, why are you even with her again?

Jack: Let's not start this.. Haha.

Alex: Have fun, J.

Jack: You know I won't without you.

Alex: We'll see them again soon, you'll see.

Jack: I hope so. I heard Travis is around here.

Alex: Go find him!

Jack: I can't start running around the venue! That'd be crazy.

Alex: Go and get him! Take a picture of him for me.

Jack: That'd be so embarrassing!

Alex: Please.

Alex: Are you there?

Alex: I hope you went after him.

Alex: I'm bored and sad please come back.

Jack: Hi.

Alex: Hello there.

Jack: I got a picture.

Alex: Of him or with him?

Alex: You know you're the best, right?

Jack: So I've been told.

WEEK 14

Jack: Hellooooo!

Alex: Hi (:

Jack: How are you?

Alex: I'm okay thanks, you?

Jack: I'm great. Just okay?

Alex: I'm GREAT then.

Jack: Just wondering grl.

Alex: Are you insulting me or.

Jack: Yeah, you slut.

Alex: Jaaaack.

Jack: What?

Alex: Don't judge me for my genre preferance pls.

Jack: I'm not! Definitely not.

Alex: Right, thank you.

Jack: I think it's time I tell you something I've been meaning to tell you for a while now.

Alex: Okay..? You're scaring me.

Jack: Trust me, I'm the one who's scared here.

Alex: Go ahead.

Jack: I don't know how to tell you this.. It's just that, I'm gay.

Alex: Are you shitting me?

Jack: What? No! I'm serious.

Alex: You're not making fun of me, are you?

Jack: Look Alex, I've been trying to tell you this for a long time and I'd like if you just believed me.

Alex: Okay.. So.. Have you just realised that or..?

Jack: I've known for years, but I've been hiding it from everyone..

Alex: Shit. That's.. Great I guess. And weird. Definitely weird.

Jack: How is that weird? You're gay too!

Alex: Yeah but it's just.. Shocking I guess. I would have never guessed.

Jack: Really? Olga was just a cover up because I like someone else but I'm too scared to tell him.

Alex: Just like you told me when I liked Lucas, go for it.

Jack: LikeD?

Alex: Yeah.. I'm over him. He's a nice guy and all but he's straight so I can't really do anything about it.

Jack: Oh.. I'm sorry.

Alex: Anyways, who's this guy you like?

Jack: I'm not sure if I should tell you..

Alex: Why not? Do I know him?

Jack: Yeah.

Alex: Is it Rian or Zack? Matt?

Jack: No, no! Of course not.

Alex: Please tell me.

Jack: You.

Alex: What?

Jack: You're the one I like.

Alex: I.. don't know what to say.

Jack: You don't have to say anything, I'm sorry.

Alex: No, no! Don't apologise. It's just that we are best friends and I don't know how to react to it. You're my best friend, Jack.

Jack: I know.. I don't know what to say. I'm just glad I got that off my chest because it was killing me.

Alex: I'm glad too. You shouldn't hide your feelings for anyone. I'm sorry that I don't feel the same way about you.

Jack: Don't worry about it, it's not like you have to. I don't want anything to change because of this. I don't want anything to be weird or awkward between us.

Alex: It won't! We're still best friends (:

-

WEEK 15

Zack: So, is everything okay between you two since you told Alex how you feel about him?

Jack: Yeah, everything's fine. Has he told you about it or?

Rian: Yeah he said he feels horrible about it because he doesn't feel the same way.

Zack: Yeah, he said the same to me.

Jack: Right.. It's not like I can force him to like me.

Rian: Why don't you make him like you?

Jack: What?

Zack: Yeah, Rian. What the hell?

Rian: Be all sweet and what not to make him like you.

Jack: Rian. This isn't an American movie... Things like that never happen.

Rian: You could try!

-

Alex: Hi!

Jack: Hey (:

Alex: Everything okay?

Jack: Yeah, nothing much has changed since the last time that we spoke.

Alex: Cool. I want to go back for Christmas.

Jack: Yeah.. That's totally impossible, right?

Alex: Yeah.. I'd be pointless to go home for a few days and come back because I'd have to stay here for a few weeks then go home again.

Jack: It wouldn't be pointless. You'd be home for Christmas and you'd spend it with your family. Plus you'd get to spend your birthday here if you came home for like.. two weeks.

Alex: I can't do that. I'd have to choose between going home for Christmas or my birthday. I can't skip that many lessons since I'll have all my exams soon.

Jack: Come home for Christmas then.

Alex: Ugh.. Is it really worth it though?

Jack: I think it is.

Alex: Give me 5 reasons why.

Jack: 1. You'd get to see your family, who miss you a lot. 2. You'd spend Christmas with your best friends and not with people you're never going to see again in your entire life. 3. We'd give each other presents face to face. 4. You love travelling so coming here and going back would be fun.

I can't think of a fifth reason.

Alex: 5. I'd get to spend the day with you.

Jack: Yeah.. I'll take that haha.

Alex: Sorry Jack.. That'd mean spending a lot of money just to come home for a few days..

Jack: I understand.

Alex: Hold on, dinner is ready.

Jack: Same, actually.

Alex: Back, I brought it up to my room. What are you having?

Jack: Crackers, you?

Alex: Crackers?

Jack: Yeah?

Alex: As in just salty crackers?

Jack: Yep.

Alex: That's.. unusual. Aren't you hungry?

Jack: Nah, I had a big lunch earlier.

Alex: It's like 9PM right now, it's been around seven hours since you had lunch.

Jack: Still not really hungry.

Alex: I hope this isn't a habit you have now.

Jack: It's not, don't worry. I'm just not feeling like having anything at the moment. I'll snack on something later.

Alex: Okay.. I hope so.

Jack: You don't have to worry about me.

Alex: I do.

-

WEEK 16

Alex: Hey guys.

Zack: Why am I in another group chat without one of our friends again?

Alex: You have a group chat without me?!

Rian: Hey let's calm our manly tits, okay? Why did you crate this chat Alex? Is everything okay?

Alex: Yeah yeah, everything's fine. I just wanted to tell you guys something important.

Zack: What is it?

Alex: I'm coming back for Christmas.

Rian: WHAT.

Zack: What?!

Alex: You can't tell Jack though.

Rian: Why not?

Alex: Because I want it to be a surprise for him.

Zack: Why didn't you surprise us all by coming here out of the blue?

Alex: Because I need your help to plan everything!

Rian: What exactly is everything?

Alex: You know, excuses as to why you can't hang out with him because you need to pick me up from the airport and stuff like that.

Zack: Can do.

Rian: Can do.

Alex: Awesome!

Zack: You should come back for your birthday too..

Alex: Zack, my birthday is in two days haha.

Rian: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX.

Alex: TWO DAYS.

Rian: I know, but just in case we don't talk on your birthday.

Alex: We talk every day Rian..

Zack: Hey we don't talk every day!

Alex: Because you're busy making out with your girlfriend.

Zack: True.. She's hot.

Alex: I don't doubt that.

Alex: Hey I have a question.

Zack: Yeah?

Alex: Is Jack eating alright? I don't want to sound like a protecting mother but he told me he's having salty crackers for dinner.

Rian: He's been skipping his lunch with us because he has a huge breakfast apparently..?

Alex: Make him eat lunch, you hear me? I'm serious. Shove it down his throat if you need to.

Zack: You're scaring us..

Alex: I just don't want anything to happen to him.

Rian: Okay, we'll take care of him, don't worry.

Alex: Thank you.

Jack: Hi.

Alex: Hey!

Jack: It's your birthday in two days.

Alex: I know! I'll be 18 in two days.

Jack: And I'll be 17 :c

Alex: Awh. You're still a grown man though.

Jack: HAHA very funny.

Alex: I'm hilarious.

Jack: I wish you'd come home for your birthday.. or at least Christmas. I miss you. Rian and Zack are always busy and I spend the day in my room.

Alex: Jack.. We used to spend days in your room when I was there haha.

Jack: Yeah but at least we were together and had company!

Alex: True true.. Just a few more months.

Jack: You say that like it's nothing.

Alex: Hey, I miss you too, okay?

Jack: Right. Whatevs.

Alex: I don't want to make a huge deal out of this but Rian told me he never sees you eat lunch at school.

Jack: Ffs are we going to go over this again?

Alex: Apparently..

Jack: Well, I don't have anything to say.

Alex: Why aren't you eating?

Jack: I do eat! I eat breakfast and dinner. This is ridiculous.

Alex: Why not lunch then?

Jack: Eating in front of people makes me feel uncomfortable.

Alex: Since when?

Jack: Since you left, okay?

Alex: Talk to Rian and Zack, they'll help you.

Jack: You know what? I'm going to be honest with you.

Alex: Okay..?

Jack: I just want to be good enough. I thought that if I'm not good enough for you, then maybe I could be good enough for someone else if I got a little skinnier.

Alex: I.. Jack, you are good enough for me and everyone else, please believe me when I say that. You don't have to change to make other people happy, I like you the way you are and you shouldn't change for anything. Get eating right now, you hear me? I'm going to kick your ass otherwise.

Jack: Right.. Okay.

Alex: Jack, I'm serious. I care about you too much and I can't live knowing you're going through that.

Jack: I'll talk to Rian and Zack.

Alex: Never think you're not good enough. You're a great person and we love you the way you are.

Jack: Okay.. I'm sorry I brought this up.

Alex: And don't ever think you're bothering me when we talk about things like this.

Jack: Thank you Alex, I'll do it for you.

Alex: Do it for yourself (:
