“I think the pink one would look nice on you.”

“Good thing I live for your validation,” y/n laughed as she showed her boyfriend yet another plain camisole. 

Joshua gripped y/n’s shirt and pulled her closer to him, “If I get to take it off, I think I should get an opinion, don’t you think?”

Y/n shivered at his voice before turning around and shoving him away, jokingly.

“Oh my god! Josh, go back out there. I’ll be there in a second.”

As the 6ft man giggled and walked out to the main room, he couldn’t help but to think of the Christmas present he had gotten his partner.

The 14k necklace was sort of an impulsive buy because he hadn’t planned on getting her that for Christmas, but once he saw it, he knew all it needed was to be engraved and it’d be perfect.

9 months is definitely special enough to give y/n the pendant. It also coincidentally falls on Christmas Day. 2 for 1.

Joshua thinks about their story all the time. 

They met at a mutual friend’s family party. She went up to him and asked for his number. She liked him but he didn’t notice. She pined after him and then something in Joshua changed and suddenly all he knew was that he wanted the beautiful girl who surprised him by making the first move.

They’ve known each other for a little over a year now but Josh swears its been 10. 

They get each other. 

They get each other so well.

So why has y/n felt their love deteriorating.

Suddenly, her heart no longer raced for him.

Their future that she could so vividly picture had turned into something she did not want to experience. 

She loves Joshua. But she’s not sure she’s in love with Joshua.

She was no actress, but she’s been acting as if nothing’s changed for a couple of weeks now.

Falling for someone else is one, but falling out of love for your partner despite there not being another hurt.

She could feel her heart ache at the idea that Joshua no longer made her feel butterflies.

She’s trying. She really is.

.

Arriving back at y/n’s family home made her feel butterflies.

Out of nervousness, out of fear.

Her home was no longer a home, it was a safe place.

That’s what Joshua had become.

He was no longer her home, he was a safe place.

She knew he’d be there, that he was a perfect man who could give her a happy ever after.

But she doesn’t want a happy ever after.

She just wants to be happy.

Joshua’s been trying to make her happy for several days now.

He could feel her slowly getting tired of him.

He’s not ready to give up.

He loves her, she’s his safe place.

He’s hoping they can last a few more weeks until Christmas so he can give her his gift and it’ll fix everything.

It has to fix everything.

They’re not broken, they can be fixed.

Even if he had to break some of himself to fix their whole.

.

The week before Christmas was nerve-wracking. 

Each time y/n asked Joshua for a chance to talk, he avoided it.

If she doesn't have the chance to talk about ending us, then she can’t, right? It’ll go away.

But Joshua knew better than to pick at the loose ends, they always eventually fall apart.

He picked up some daisies because he knew y/n loved daisies.

He drove to y/n’s house, with his heart in his stomach.

Maybe this is a bad idea, he thought. 

But his heart knew better than that.

So when he arrived and knocked on y/n’s door, he wasn’t expecting to be attacked in a hug by his much-shorter girlfriend.

She pecked his lips, “Hi baby.”

He held her tight.

She pulled him closer.

After what felt like hours, they pulled apart and Joshua handed y/n the flowers.

She smiled and led him to her bedroom after he had greeted her parents in the kitchen.

“Let’s watch a movie?”

“Yeah, I’ve been trying to rewatch Spiderman but I never do,” y/n groaned as she began browsing through the movie titles on the tv.

Joshua kicked his shoes off and made his way to her bed where he sat all the way back on the headboard. 

After y/n had started the movie, she flipped her main light off and went to the bed, sitting on the edge.

As the ads began to play, y/n turned to Joshua, “Thank you for the flowers. They’re really beautiful.”

Joshua smiled, “You deserve them.”

Y/n felt that ache in her heart, yet again. 

She really didn’t. He was the one who deserved more.

Better.

And she can’t give him that.

Not genuinely, anyway.

I can’t keep doing this.

She grabbed the remote and hit pause just as the first scene began. 

Facing away, y/n began, “Joshua, loo-”

“No.”

She turned around to look at him and was met with a broken man.

She could finally see what her behavior had done to him.

She claimed to love this man, and she hurt him.

“I’m sorry. I am so, so sorry.”

He shook his head and looked away, unable to maintain eye contact with her.

“No, you don’t have to be sorry. We can fix this, alright?”

He made his way over to her and sat next to her.

Her eyes swelled, she quietly scoffed, “There’s nothing to fix.”

Joshua’s lips parted as he thought.

Everything he had wanted to say to her, had completely vanished from his brain.

“Look, we’re not perfect, nowhere near it, but that’s what make us, us. We get each other.” “Is that all? We ‘get each other?’ Is that as deep as our relationship gets? I’m not happy, Josh. I’m not happy anymore, and I don’t want to force it and give you false hope.”

His heart dropped, once again.

“I’m not giving up just because you’re telling me to. I know you’ve been off for a while, but that’s okay. I can give you space. To think, to breathe. Whatever you need me to do, I’ll do it. I know we-”

“I want you out. I don’t love you anymore. I’m not sure if I was ever in love with you, but I don’t want to hurt you anymore than I already have. Please, don’t make this any harder than it already is.”

Y/n’s tear-filled eyes landed on his shoes, his black and white vans that she had always  adored. 

No one had told her it would be this hard to let go. 

She didn’t want to look up and see the broken man that she had created.

The man she had hurt so much, he was willing to lose his happiness for her love. For her to stay.

She felt sad, not because she had lost love, but because she had hurt someone who didn’t deserve to ever feel an ounce of hurt. 

An angel who sat in movie theaters freezing because she would never take a jacket.

An angel who would prefer his arm to go numb than to move his sleeping beauty.

An angel who only ever wanted to make her happy, and he did.

It just wasn’t enough.  

She watched his shoes as they moved away from the bed. 

She watched as his body left the room, his heart staying behind.

She watched as the man who once made her feel like everything, left with nothing.

Mall

I met Cady by the fountain in the mall at eleven in the morning, across from the store with kitchen supplies and the jeweler.  She arrived seventeen minutes late, and was carrying a shopping bag from the candy shop in her left hand.  She wore a pair of overalls and sneakers, and wore a vibrant geometric patterned shirt under the denim.   Her hair was crimped and she had a blue eye shadow on that matched the rectangles on her tee.  She was always one to keep with the style and never the time.

We decided to look through the shops and eat the fresh licorice she just purchased before grabbing a meal in the food court and going to catch a matinee horror flick.  We checked through a store where she bought a pair of bright green high-waisted shorts, and she bought a necklace that was made of recycled bottle caps off a guy with a table outside of a boutique.  I never really bought anything when we went shopping together.  She never noticed that, either.  Not until today, at least.

“Mar, look at yourself,” I have my hair straight today, a light blue headband and a button-up of the same color, and a plaid skirt, and knee high socks, and my old and beat-up Mary Janes.  “You look like a… a typical Catholic schoolgirl.”

“I am a typical Catholic schoolgirl,” I add before being interrupted again.

“No, Mar, you’re missing the point.  It’s the summer of 1996: you are sixteen years old now, which practically makes you a woman.  And you don’t even have class except for on Tuesdays.”  I looked at her, as if asking if she had a point.  Being my best friend (well at least of all girls), she knew what I meant, and went on her rant.  “My point is, today is Wednesday, and you’re still in uniform.”  She did have a point about that one, I suppose.

“After the movie, you’re coming back to my house, and I’m going to give you a makeover.” We passed the shop with all of the fancy and expensive clothes, and prom and homecoming dresses.  They have a display outside their store—the only store to have a display—and we always stop and have to pick one.  She chose a bright orange puffy-shoulder dress with yellow stripes on the skirt, and I chose a long dark blue ball gown with nothing at all sparkly or not fitting.

I didn’t know why she asked for later, until I saw a girl walk up to her and hug her.  I forgot about this being a double-date with Chris.  I suddenly dreaded the day even more than I did pre-makeover-mention, and regretted looking like I haven’t yet finished adolescence.   He found me outside five minutes prior to our entry.  He liked Cady, but didn’t care at all for Jennifer.  I really didn’t either.  She was like that dress Cady chose.  There was a reason it was on sale.  But it didn’t really matter about that.  She isn’t the type to stick to one thing, or, person, for the matter of “Jenny Jenkins, Junior in tdTmJournalism”, or the type to want to go to school events like prom.

The movie was okay, but I really couldn’t pay all that much attention to it, as much as I may have tried.  For much of it, Chris tried the same old classic and lame moves like yawning and putting his arm around me to try to get me to stop watching the movie entirely.  Sometim   nes he really seems like the stereotypical teenage boy trying to get some at every chance he can.  But other times he doesn’t seem like that at all.  Like when we were leaving the movie and it was raining, he spun around the light post, singing, and it was just so much fun to play in the puddles.  He often says a lot of sweet things, too, but my mother raised no ignorant female.  

It was a special day at the pediatric ward this afternoon, as Justice and Isaac were going around to all of the kids and their visitors (more than one, today) and inviting them to cafeteria at three thirty to play games and make friends.  Justice came up with the idea herself. I think that’s a great way for these poor children to be happy for even a little while.  Cady wanted to go today, and when she brought it up to me after we dropped off her date, Chris invited himself along.  Michael did say he wanted to meet the ever elusive Christopher Hale.  I just don’t know how well this will go down.

We reach the hospital in Mallory’s tiny, grey, and aged car with little time to spare.  Michael was happy to see Cady, but soon realized why he normally isn’t when she hugged him extra tight, squeezing his now un-casted yet still healing arm.  He was very professional with Chris, as he had to be, for he was the one pushing the wheelchair as I dragged along the things connected to his IV for his pain medication.  Not to mention, he’s the understudy who wants to be the lead so bad he’d hit Chris with a car.  Not literally, of course.  That was probably way too soon.

Nurse June, whom Isaac calls Juniper, says a few words that I don’t pay attention to and brings out with Daisy a pile of boxes of board games like checkers and chess and Battleship and Monopoly.  Justice picked out a game I never heard of before.  Isaac read from the box that a group of kids staying here played this game every Monday night.  There were cards inside, of all kinds, as well as game pieces of different colors, dice, an old game board, and instructions.

PLAYERS: 2-8

HOW TO PLAY: Set up the board and choose a piece for each player.  Roll the die to see who goes first.  Go around the board in clockwise order.  Choose the appropriate card for the space landed on.  

For a truth or lie card, write down the honest answer on a piece of paper, and hide it from the others.  Have the other player(s) bet on whether the player has told the group the correct or incorrect answer.  If the player stumps the group, the player moves ahead as many spaces as there are other players (not including themselves).  If they have not, each player moves ahead or behind one space accordingly, depending respectively on whether they guessed it right or wrong.

For a dare card, complete the dare within fifteen minutes, or whenever the dare permits.  If the player does complete the dare, they may move ahead one space.  If they do not, they move back one space.

For a category card, list the items the card specifies in counter-clockwise order.  Whoever messes up in thirty seconds per each turn, they move back one space.

  HOW TO WIN: Reach the end and answer trivia questions about the other player(s).  Once the player in question to win has answered three correctly, they win the game.

It sounded easy enough; just truths, dares, and lists.  I liked making lists when I was little.  I still do.  It helps me think clearly.  We went around, youngest to oldest, just because it was easier that way.  Justice went first, and she moved her piece the appropriate four spaces.  It was a dare card.  “Confront the last person who was angry with you behind your back.”  Justice is the kind of little girl that everybody loves.  She kept it for the next person who chose a dare.

Isaac got categories and it was presidents; of course, Justice did not know many, so he helped her out as much as he could.  Chris lost.  I was next.  I chose dare.  That meant I got her card, and she got mine.  “Tell the group what you think a cool job would be but would never be able to/could/would actually do.”  She announced that she had a fascination for boats and the water.  She loved to swim and go to the beach.  She had not been to the beach in years.  She said she wanted to be a pirate.  I know that the purpose of this question was not to say pirate, but it was cute, so we went on.

The person who was last angry with me was his father, and he knew that.  It was silent for a while.  Michael attempted to take his turn, but Cady urged me to call them, “right now”.  I didn’t do it, and somehow managed to pull an excuse out of thin air.  “I cannot perform this dare currently, but...” the game instructs me to read in the event of my failure to do so, “...but that is simply because said person is at work at this time.”  Michael then quickly rolled the die to reveal his space to be a truth card.

“What was the name of my first pet?”  Michael wrote his answer, and I wrote mine, knowing it so easily.  I was the only person to get it, as expected for it being such an out-there question, and it was then Cady’s turn.  She had a list, and it was planets.  A shorter one, it ended as fast as it began.  The cycle continued, in a fairly boring fashion.  No big secrets, no big dares.  Isaac did have to ask Nurse June on a date, though, which as expected, was hopeless.  Lastly, was Chris, for the win against the crippled boy.  It was a truth or lie card.

“Who was the last person you thought about?”  I guessed his mother, for some unknown reason.  Cady and Isaac guessed his dad, and Justice guessed a sister he doesn’t even have.  It was all looking to be stumped, allowing Chris to keep his secret, until, the final guess was made accurately.  Michael became the winner of the game, and Chris absolutely would not share the truth with anyone.  Michael said he would keep his secret.

As we cleaned up the game, Cady and I returned them, and she whispered, “I think I know what he wrote..” I didn’t say anything to respond, but she acted as if I did.  “I think it was a girl he might find, hot, or something..” I pretended like I didn’t care, but I was all-ears.  “Perhaps, a blonde with short hair, who he’s been eyeing up all afternoon..” Oh.  Of course.  How could I be so naive?  To think an actual college boy--or any boy, for that matter--with a face like his and a personality to match would pay any real attention to me.

Rejoining the group, I grab my jacket, and the Johnson kids went back to Justice’s room before I knew it. Cady offered to take Chris home, hoping to make a move.  I let her go.  Wheeling Michael back to the room, I look out the window to find Cady driving off.  Michael laughed after the door was closed.  He told me he wasn't laughing at me, but at Cady.  “She wasn’t the name?  And he doesn’t--?  And now she’s--” he nodded, and laughed much harder, until it hurt.  He finally settled down, and told me the truth card’s answer for the victory: none other than the on-stage Juliet.
