JAKE, LET ME ASK YOU. DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER THE LAST TIME WE TALKED? Hmm. Wasnt it a few days ago? NO. TRY A FEW WEEKS AGO! AND EVEN THEN, YOU MESSAGED ME JUST TO TALK ABOUT SOME STUPID SHIT THAT HAPPENED WITH DIRK. A TEDIOUS GESTURE WHICH YOU THEN SAW FIT TO REPRISE ON MY BIRTHDAY OF ALL DAYS, WHILST CONSIDERATELY FORGETTING ABOUT IT! AND EVEN WHEN I REMINDED YOU ABOUT IT, YOU STILL BARGED AHEAD WITH YOUR SELF-INDULGENT RELATIONSHIP CLAPTRAP ANYWAY! I didnt realize it was so long ago. Sorry about that. Again all i can say is where does the time go? I guess i have trouble keeping up with everything im supposed to. Which it would seem includes personal relationships as much as calendars. Im not much of a leader of people. Not like you are jane. I think when it comes to adventuring maybe im more of a solo act? Which now that i think about it might be contributing to my problems with dirk. Maybe thats part of the reason why i needed some space? Oh brother there i go again blustering about my problems. I guess i see what you mean. But really if you wanted to talk sooner then why didnt you get in touch with me? It feels as though im always the one to say hello to you lately. YEAH! THAT'S BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE TIME WE CHAT, YOU DO NOTHING BUT TALK ABOUT YOURSELF! YOU NEVER ASK ME HOW I'M FEELING OR WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO. YOU JUST LAUNCH INTO YOUR ROMANTIC PROBLEMS, AND I JUST LISTEN LIKE AN ACCOMMODATING FOOL AS ALWAYS! SO I JUST STOPPED BOTHERING! WHY SHOULD I SUBJECT MYSELF TO THAT REPEATEDLY?! YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE THE MOST THOUGHTLESS, SELF-CENTERED PERSON I HAVE EVER MET! I CAN'T BELIEVE I USED TO FEEL... Huh? Used to feel what? JAKE, HAS IT EVER OCCURRED TO YOU HOW IT MUST FEEL FOR SOMEONE TO LISTEN TO HER FRIEND GO ON AND ON ABOUT HIS BOYFRIEND PROBLEMS WHEN... WHEN ALL ALONG SHE... BUT SHE JUST COULDN'T SAY BECAUSE SHE BLEW IT AND IT WAS TOO LATE TO... I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I'M BOTHERING TO EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU. NEVER MIND. Now hold the phone. Jane i think i may finally understand whats been going on here. In retrospect i cant believe ive been this blind. Youre right i really can be deplorably thick sometimes. Looking back i can see how many of our conversations must have been torment for you. You really should have told me how you felt sooner! YEAH. I... I know. :( If you told me you had the hots for dirk i would have backed off without another word. What are friends for!
