Part 1: Her Side
Brad, Chandler, Ben, Kevin, Jessie, Marcus, Guy after guy after guy. God, is love even real, or am I wasting my time? Is it all just some cruel joke? Should I be focusing more on my job as Daddy says or should I follow my heart to find someone who really gets me? I just broke up with David. Too sarcastic and mean. I really thought he was the one. Then again I thought every other guy was the one too. I bump into someone on the sidewalk, guess I was too much in my head again. “Sorry.” I manage to blurt as I see his face. A guy with a chiseled jaw and nose. He had hair like you wouldn’t believe. It looked so soft. And he was muscular. Like he could grab and throw me. And of all the things he was holding, he held a couple of flowers. Calla Lilies. My favorite. He stopped and said, “No it was all my fault. I was too busy reading to see where I was going.” I look down to see his book. Dragon Bound. My favorite book. My God the stars have aligned! I gawk for a second before I grow the ability to speak back, but before I do, he does for me. “My name is Max. I’m sorry if this is too forward, but you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met.” my jaw drops and I turn red. “I’m sure you say that to all the girls.” ‘No, just you. Here. Have these flowers, I was just going to plant them, but it’s clear they belong to you.” I take the flowers and before I knew it weeks had passed and Max and I had fallen deeply in love! I can see the wedding cards now! Jane and Max! We are perfect. He is perfect. Although it’s like he gets less and less perfect every day I know him. He does that annoying slurpping noise like Caleb did. We went to get dohnuts and he got the same order as Ben always got. Cholate with sprinkles. These kind of things just built up and up. Eventually I had to end it. It was too much and nobody could handle that. Is this God’s way of telling me I messed up? What are you trying to tell me! Where am I suppose to go with this? God, what the fuck should I do with my life? I broke it off with Max and I expected more of a reaction from him, but instead, he just sighed, gave me this look of defeat and left. Part 2: His Side Brad, Chandler, Ben, Kevin, Jessie, Marcus, Max, Guy after guy after guy. Is Jane crazy or am I just stupid? I’ve been given infinite chances to get with this girl and I can’t quite seem to get it right. I look in the mirror again. “Who will I be this time?” I ask myself out loud. I don’t even know what I did wrong last time. Was I was ‘too perfect’. My nose shifts slightly to the left and my jaw turns into an underbite. My hair practically falls out and regrows into a new thinner shade. My face goes from clean-shaven to grizzled stubble. “Kieth? Todd? Jonathan? Jonathan. This is Jonathan.” I turn away from my mirror and to my computer to make my new name official. A couple of days pass and she’s there on her afternoon walk. She again bumps into me and says, “Oh sorry, I wasn’t Paying attention.” She looks down at my now ruined shirt, stained with my single cup of coffee. “Oh no!” She cries, “I spilled your coffee, I’m so sorry!” I smile, “It’s alright, the shirt wasn’t my favorite anyway. But I'm sure you can make it up to me. Let’s get some more. I’ll even pay.” She looked at me for a second and smiled, “Sure. I’m Jane by the way.” we start walking and I say, “That’s a really nice name, I’m Jonathan.” god, I hope this is the last time.
