Chuck's checked into a hotel by that point and is just about ready to sink into the jacuzzi with the rum and settle in and he really doesn't want to hear this so he texts back,
so call him and tell him I'm leaving, he doesn't have to go anywhere
Because Raleigh doesn't want anything to do with Chuck--not while he was with Yancy, and Chuck can't....can't just break up with Yancy and go to Raleigh, that's bullshit. He's angry at Raleigh for breaking them all up and doesn't want to speak to them.
He's not supposed to say anything. Chuck'll be by when he said, to pack his shit and get it gone. Yancy can be there if he wants or he can avoid Chuck.
Then he shouldn't have broken up with him and left.
At Christmas, either. Come on.
Chuck doesn't want to go, he wants to stay, he wants to be with Yancy and he wants to be with Raleigh and he can't have that so he's leaving. "I'll see you around the business," he says, finally pulling away from Yancy and picking up the last box of his crap.
Well at least he can see firsthand how well Chuck's getting over them, right?
Depending on Chuck's mood he might text back with a biting retort or a careful fond response.
It's. Hard. He's never tried to be friends with an ex before, and the whole situation is just...uncomfortable. And Chuck still hurts. No matter what he does, he just...he hurts.
