The Chances of Mary Jane Chaucer

7

MJ.

yeah?

Have you ever thought about asking for help?

...

I know, I know. I just...it's been months. All I ever do is talk to you on the phone. You need to see a professional, MJ. This isn't good for your health.

I'll do it when you tell me your name :)

Seriously? That's all it takes?

ALL IT—you know how hard it is to convince you to tell me ANYTHING about you? We've never even met and I don't know shit and you always see me but I never see you, how is that fair?

It's seth.

Seth? :D

Yeah. And don't say you don't know me, MJ, you know a lot more about me than anyone else. Whoever I am when I'm talking to you...that's me. I just don't want you to see me yet, and I'm sorry. Please understand.

...you know I don't care what you look like, right?

I know :) of course i know, MJ. You really proved me wrong all those months ago when I thought you were...you know

A bitch? :)

Just someone who wouldn't want me as a friend when I offered.

That was almost a year ago. Oh mygod.

You know, ever since you've been coming to Station Twelve, you don't eat anything else except for the scrambled eggs.

It ruined everything else for me. And where else will I get my breakfast? Plus, they're good scrambled eggs, I like them :D

I like you.

...

MJ? Hope I didn't scare you off now

I thought you were joking. On the phone, when you told me

Ah, why would i joke about that? :)

This is weird, we've never met each other before, how can you like me

MJ.

I'm sick, Seth.

I KNOW. which is why I told you that you need to talk to someone, i want you to get better

To get better for me? Or for you?

What the hell does that even mean??? I've done nothing but try and help you and be there for you, MJ, why are you getting so mad?

I JUST IDK THIS FEELS WEIRD

THEN IGNORE WHAT I SAID JESUS CHRIST is it that hard? I'm sorry I sprung it up on you i didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. Forget about it

No, I—is that the only reason you're helping me? Because you like me? Because what, I'm a Chaucer is that it? Do you want my money too?

I've never said shit about you being a Chaucer, MJ, stop putting words in my mouth. And no. You were my friend first before anything of course I want you to get better for you. I don't need your money fuck that

Seth.

Like I said, let's forget about it. It was stupid anyway.

It's not stupid. Im sorry, I just, i'm not used to this

...seth?

Seth?

Goodnight...
