CHAPTER 2 - Another
Two weeks later-
Jay sits on a bench, in a park near his house. His friend (girl named Jane) goes by and sees Jay. She comes to him and sits next to him.
-Hi, Jay..!
-Oh, hello
-HowÂ’ve you been? I havenÂ’t seen you for a while
-Well, IÂ’ve been with May pretty muchÂ… She needs me now more than ever
-Ah, ohÂ…
-Are you sad about somethingÂ…?
-W-Wha?
-Well, youÂ’re expression is kind of weirdÂ… You look a bit down
-Oh, do I? No no, itÂ’s nothing!
-Sure?
-UhmÂ…
-No really, whatÂ’s going on? Trouble with some boy? He doesnÂ’t love you back? Believe me, I know these thingsÂ…
-WellÂ… Um, you could actually say thatÂ…
-So, a difficult love. You wanna tell me about it? Though, I have to go soon to the hospitalÂ…
-O-OkayÂ… Ah, thatÂ’s.. IÂ’ve loved him for many years now, and heÂ… I donÂ’t really now what to doÂ…
-Have you told him yet, that you love him, I mean?
-No, I have notÂ…
-Well maybe you should! And then see what he answers! Maybe he thinks the same about you
-Do you think I should do.. That?
-I really do!
-Okay, wellÂ… IÂ… IÂ’ve loved you since 8th grade. ItÂ’s been almost four years nowÂ… AndÂ… I think about you all the time, tooÂ… Please feel the same way! Please!! I-I canÂ’t live without you! And I can do anything you want! Just try it out with me! I beg you!
-Â… What, IÂ… JaneÂ…?
-Oh my godÂ… What I just saidÂ…! IÂ’m sorry, IÂ… I have to go!!
-Jane-- Â…ShitÂ…What the hell was that, reallyÂ…
Jay stands up and walks home. Right before he falls asleep, he thinks about what happened.
‘ That was really something… Now that I think about it, we loved each other in junior high… But then we somehow broke up and I met May. Now I love her, and nobody else… I have to tell Jane that, and clearly. My feelings for her are completely gone, and my mind is just filled with May, May… Oh, how I would like to hold her now, here, next to me…’
And with these thoughts in his mind, he falls asleep. Though he he wouldnÂ’t be able to sleep, if he knew what was coming.
