A Timeline of Texts

Summary:

A series of text conversations between Johnny and Bella over the years. From the start of their relationship to the bitter end

Notes:

Making another substitution because I've been thinking a lot about Bitch Spouses lately. I mean I always am thinking about this long form, but that's besides the point. This was something new for me and I had a good time writing it! My chromebook is actively dying though so not a lot of time to proof read haha-
