Niko (August's friend)
You know August, right? she'll never tell me the truth. Did she talk to her family today?
The Queen Herself, Taylor the First
In the morning, she had a zoom with her parents and sister, and Zoe's boyfriend or something! I said hi for like a second and then gave them privacy. Why are you asking me all of this? Should I be worried about something?
Niko (August's friend)
No no!! dont worry
Niko (August's friend)
It's just
Niko (August's friend)
August obviously hasn't told you
Niko (August's friend)
she doesn't actually tell anyone anymore but like it's kinda her birthday today but she really hates it so thats probs why you dont know about it! But yeah, Im just checking to make sure shes doing okay cuz shes just gonna bottle everything in and not tell me if something *is* wrong so im just asking to see if you noticed anything weird
The Queen Herself, Taylor the First
Oh... yeah, she never told me! God, I would've done something for her
Niko (August's friend)
Oh trust me! You've done plenty already without even realising. And she hates surprises and the whole day being acknowledged as a whole so
Niko (August's friend)
It's just a pretty hard day for her so I just really wanted to ask for a favour
The Queen Herself, Taylor the First
I'll look out for her! Don't worry, Niko
Niko (August's friend)
Thank you! You're literally the best
The Queen Herself, Taylor the First

Niko (August's friend)
Great! Just... don't mention this please. She'll kill me!!!!
The Queen Herself, Taylor the First
I won't!
The Queen Herself Taylor The First
Can I just ask though
Niko (August's friend)
Why she hates her bday? Honestly, it's just not my story to tell but I'm sure she'll tell you in her own time! She trusts you, I know that much. When she's ready, she'll come to you
The Queen Herself, Taylor the First
You're a great friend Niko! August's lucky to have you
Niko (August's friend)
Thanks omg𥺠And I also wanna say thank you! For being there for her. And you know, actually inviting her to nashville. Being away from california must be helping a lot. new york was sometimes good but you know
The Queen Herself, Taylor the First
is that why she was complaining last week?
Niko (August's friend)
wdym?
The Queen Herself, Taylor the First
she texted me, complaining about wanting to "get out" and then i asked her about new york and why she moved back to LA and she said shed need to be drunk to tell that story but then she was like she didnt wanna get drunk and then i invited her to come with me and she said itd be a good change and she has actually been pretty happy here
Niko (August's friend)
Yeah! That makes a lot of sense. Plus, I'm sure being with you has also impacted that a lot
The Queen Herself, Taylor the First
