An Interesting Story

Walking to class one day, I was day dreaming about a possible future that might happen. The story goes like this...

Im in my interpersonal communications class, which is all about relationships, Desiree ends up being in my resitation class. The TA tells us to circle up our desks and asks us to talk about relationships we once had. After a few people talk about theirs, the TA suddenly calls on me and asks, "Patrick, tell us about a relation ship you once had." Now keep in mind Desi is sitting right accross from me in the cirlce. The first part of the story would happen like this...

"I had a girl friend once. She was really cool and really sweet. It took us a while to get together, but eventualy it was really awesome." The TA then asks. "Well that sounds pretty good. What happend?"

"Well, she had done things that I couldn't really bring my self to get over. They weren't towards me, but I still found it hard to forget about them, yea i know im a jerk. I would bring them up and kinda hold them against her. And our beliefs just didn't match up. So eventualy, it was just to much for her to deal with and she broke up with me." After the class gives a collective "awwww" the TA then asks, "well im sorry to hear that. If she were here right now, what would you say to her?" Now at this point, the story goes a number of different ways depending on how I feel about her at the time. First we will start off as though I hate her to no end.

1. "You are a dirty slut."
2. " I tried everything to get over you and it was still the worst time in my life. I hate you!!."
3. "You should have tried to make it work, you didn't even give me a chance!"
4. "I'll kill you if you ever try to hurt me again."
5. " I needed you that semester and you just through me away!"

Or we could go the oppisite way and pretend I love her.
1. "I miss you soooo much."
2. "I've never stoped caring about you."
3. "I wished we could try again."
4. "Old flames die hard, so lets see if we can rekendle that fire baby."

But in reality I dont feel any of those things are true, maybe bits of each emotion are true, but none of them as a whole. So, if this actualy happend tomorrow the answer I would most likely give would go something like....

"if she were here now, I would tell her you know, we had really good times, like the night after you met my parents (smiling really big). (everyone laughs) But serously, if she were here now, I would say, sometimes I do miss the good times, and Im sorry for being such a jerk alot of times, but I understand why you broke up with me and Im ok with that now and Im just happy I have you back in life, even if we dont feel the same about each other now."

After that, I would give her a quick glance and a smile and after class probably a big hug. Then id probably say something sarcastic like, "so that was a great class. Dont you think?"

And thats my story.
