So game tuesday night.
Here's what happened
After I hung up with Annie, I saw him sitting around the concession stand with some of his friends. So that's what I realize, it's now or never.
So I walk over there and he looks up as I do, looking suprised. His friends get really quiet, and at the exact same time, we both say "I think we need to talk."
So he stands up and we walk off to this slightly secluded area.
And he's quiet for a second so I start.
Me: How long is this gonna go on?
Him: What do you mean?
Me: You, me, this...I don't even know what the word is for this, but I'm getting kinda sick of it. I can't keep going on like this.
Him: (silence)
Me: I don't know what you want, but-
Him: (getting kind of weird) Yeah, you don't know what I want.
Me: (getting the impression that this is gonna go bad, and getting slightly mad) Yeah, because you've never given me the chance to get to know you.
Him: (it was at this moment I realized that we both have one major thing in common above anything else...pride) Look Jessica, you don't know anything about me, so let's just forget it, okay? Nothing personal.
Me: (very mad): Nothing personal? You are not seriously going to tell me that this is nothing personal. This is the most "personal" thing I've ever dealt with.
Him: (acting like a total jackass): Look, you're pretty, and from what I've heard, you're smart. But look, we just come from different worlds.
Me: What the hell does that supposed to mean?
Him: I think you damn well know.
Me: We are not seriously going to end it like this. I'm not asking for much. I just wanna know that I didn't waste two years of my life on you.
Him (his jaw his like set in stone here, and he's trying to act all...i don't know...tough?): Well, I wasted two years on you.
Me: (silecne for a second). You're not gonna tell me that you led me on for nothing. Did I wait for you for nothing?
Him: You waited for nothing. (he starts to turn to walk away)
Me: I think you're scared.
Him (he stops and turns back around...insult to pride..oooohhh) And what the hell would I be scared of?
Me: I think you're scared that for once somebody might actually care about you.
Him: And why would that scare me?
Me: Because you actually care about me too. I can see it in your eyes. You care about me.
Him (walks up to me and grabs my arms and pulls me up to him, and now i see a lot of anger in his eyes): Don't tell me who I care about. I don't care about ANYONE anymore. Including you.
<lets me go>
Me: You're just scared that I actually care about you, and maybe for once you'd get into a relationship that wasn't just about status, looks, or how far you could go with a girl. You're scared that I'm not gonna use you like everyone else has. And you're scared that maybe, just maybe, you might actually have a relationship where you loved someone more than yourself.
<he just looks at me, and that's when I see something else appear in his eyes. sadness, but i can tell he's trying to hide it. He clenches his fists, gets all tense, etc. Then he turns and starts to walk away.>
Me: Jake.
Him (stopping, back towards me, and turns his head slightly in my direction. And that's when I see it in the corner of his eye. a tear)
Him (again...takes a deep breath) Maybe we should just pretend these past two years never happened.
<walks away>
The end.
