Barbara: For You To Honestly Think That I Would Say Something That Would Put The Custody You Have In

When it comes to packing, I'm a very last minute person. I hate it so much, the packing - not being a last minute packer. But I persevered and even made a list of things to make sure I had. You know what I left without? A bikini. I left without packing a bikini to the Maldives. Which is whatever, that just gives me the opportunity to go shop. Want to come with? @emilystonc

barbara: what could you possibly be coming to me about that involves your daughter, nicholas? barbara: wait wait wait, pump the brakes. you mean the text that literally everyone got?? from the wise words of queen swift, you need to calm down. i didn't say anything to anybody. and may i remind you, you got that text too, but did i immediately run to you and jump down your throat about it? no, i didn't.

nick: i don't have time for formalities when my daughter is involved, barbara. nick: i'm sure you received the same mysterious text message that i did a couple days ago. who the fuck did you tell? i mean, seriously?!

SMS FROM ANONYMOUS:

cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater number one . . . was the fun worth ending your marriage? you were serving more than looks, barbie! how about those divorce papers? it's a real shame you can't call yourself a MILF now... though by a technicality, you might still qualify. baby sprouse or baby jonas? the possibilities are quite endless. aren't they?

The hot steam from the shower relaxed muscles she didn't even know were tense, she needed this. A long, scalding hot shower so she could just be and not wear the mask that she's donned on with just about everyone else. In truth, Barbara hasn't been happy for a long while. Things with her marriage started out great, as any marriage would. But as time went on, she could feel the disconnect between her and Dylan, smiles that didn't reach eyes, going to bed without any 'I love you's.' she was a prisoner in her own marriage and she hated it. So, Barbara sought out the comfort, in whatever form it came in with Nick instead. It was a whirlwind of excitement and fire and not too long after that, Barbara was filing for divorce. Not wanting to stay in a marriage where she was no longer happy. That whirlwind of excitement and fire turned to instant nerves when she found out she was pregnant, the math not giving her a clear answer as to who's baby it was - Nick's or Dylan's. The nerves were the loudest emotion she had during that time, but the small seed of excitement of being a mother was there - until it was ripped away from her, leaving her in a mess of anger and hate like she hasn't felt before. The steam is almost suffocating, but she revels in it - eyes closed as she leans her back against the shower wall. That's when she hears her phone and her jaw locks, he really did have the most awful timing ever didn't he? Pulling back the curtain, Barbara dries her hand on a throw towel before grabbing her phone and swiping up to unlock. So it wasn't Nick - this time at least. She reads the text, then rereads it again, and again almost wishing that it would just disappear. The tears, a mix of sadness at what could of been and anger for what did happen blur her vision as her throat tightens. 'Fuck the fuck off, why don't you?' She sends the quick text before tossing the phone away from her, the device landing with a thud at the bottom of her bathroom door. This charade of pretending to be okay was slowly coming undone and she fucking hated it, she hated herself for everything she lost.

↳ realbarbarapalvin I'm hoping if I stare at my suitcase hard enough it'll pack itself. Ready to relax on the beach getting some sun and sipping on some Mai Tai's. #ihatepacking

A new project is always exciting though! I might be just a little out of the loop here, what's this new project that you're going to be doing? I'm sending you all the good vibes that I can, I'm sure you'll smash it.

summer is upon us and i thought that i was going to be taking it easy. however, i just got my training schedule for my new project. i'm super excited to get back into the ring since i used to kick box but i'm nervous! i'm sure i'll be looking like a completely different version of myself within a month or so. @hwstarters

I've been a few times and have always had a good time, ziplining over Freemont street was fun. What's the one thing you've always wanted to do in Vegas? Or even see? We can start with that. Plus side to Vegas too, you're free to walk on the strip with a pint.

i'm a free man for now with my projects being in post production and i have to say vegas is new for me. I never really had the time to visit even though i've heard incredible stories about what goes on here. thinking of doing some site seeing if anyone wants to join me. may get a pint later on. @hwstarters

Kendall, love! Sad that we missed each other in Vegas, it would have been cool to meet up and go out for a night, I hope you had a good time though! What'd you think of the whole reason we were there to begin with? @kennnywtf

At this point, the more prepared side of me should have this go bag ready for whatever impromptu trip we're summoned on but even then I fear something will go missed. It's awful, really. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who forgets things sometimes. I'm definitely not upset about having to go shopping, I was planning on doing it anyways, but this just gives me a solidified reason other than 'I wanted to'. And having a shopping buddy is always the best way to do it.

oh my god, i feel i could start packing weeks in advance and there would still be something that i forget. i like your excuse though of meaning we get to go shopping. i would love to go with you.

Yeah, it's not for everyone. But if you're with the right people doing something you enjoy it's not bad. Vegas certainly has a shitload of those running around, showgirls too! I've seen more showgirls on the strip than I have Elvis imposters. Is this your first time being here, or something totally new?

vegas is not exactly my scene but here we are. suppose i can make the most my time here, maybe get my photo taken with an elvis imposter. any of the random touristy things i've seen people do will be good, i suppose. i guess it's a good thing that i haven't been up to much besides my return to broadway. this all feels slightly surreal. @hwstarters

Honestly I'm not sure how I missed it but it just went totally over my head at the time, I went to see the new Mean Girls movie and didn't know it was a musical until the opening song. I do think the little music note in the title should have given that away. It was still good though, you killed it as Regina George. @rmrpps
