You shouldn't peek at someone's text messages.
Chris's best friend Josh has been very evasive lately, and Chris notices even more while he's hanging out with Josh today.
Chris wants to help Josh out.
Chris asks Josh straight up what's going on, and why he is acting this way.
Josh goes to the bathroom and leaves his phone on the table, so Chris picks it up and looks at some text messages.
Josh tells Chris about something going on in his life that he isn't handling well, and Chris understands Josh better.
Josh comes out of the bathroom and sees Chris going through his phone, and storms out of the house angry.
