Who has the best memory? What could that mean?
Inanna continues her explanation of the game she came up with, "so the aim of the game is to see who can remember their lines. Try to pick a scene where there is more than one person. For example Hardin and Tessa is Hero and Jo" I mean of course she'd use us as an explanation. "I've made it a little more interesting because instead of just going round in a circle, we've got a spinning board with an arrow!" Khadijha passes Inanna a large board which is placed in the middle of the room. I can see there is a yellow arrow on it and I'm now seeing the point of the game. "Of course if the person doesn't have a scene with the other person, it's fine we will just spin again. Also no role play is required!" Inanna chuckles and I notice Castille make her way to the middle of the room to spin the board. The game begins.First go and it lands on Khadijha and Swen. Who simply just say "happy new year" and "that's Jace the townie" as it's the only lines they can apparently remember. Castille spins again. I see the arrow pointing at me and then it lands on Inanna. I clear my throat and wait to see what we come up with. Inanna smirks and stands up with the microphone as one is passed to me and I also stand from my seat. "Guess who?" Oh here we go!
"Okay I'll give you a hint. She's super fucking hot, a lot of fun and loves to fuck!" Emphasising the word 'loves'.
I smile as I remember the scene from After We Collided. "Mother Theresa"
"No ew" there's laughter from the people around us and a chuckle comes from my throat. "Ta da, I know I look amazing. I've had no carbs in like 8 weeks but I'm feeling fucking fantastic!"
"Wow" I can't help the laugh that comes with my line. Khadijha suddenly pops up and I suddenly remember she has lines in this scene too. "Yeah it's from the lack of carbs and not all the blow!"
Inanna turns to Khadijha trying to hold back laughter. "Don't you have some carpet to munch on!"
"Don't you have some dick to suck!"
I'm very grateful there are no kids at this reunion party even though of course there were in the movies. It didn't feel appropriate when it was being organised as we knew there would of course be swearing and dirty language. Khad sits back down and Inanna turns to me again. This is the best part of the scene, I remember. "What do I have to do to make you forgive me? I know I've been really bad"
"Worst than bad" I say into the microphone.
"Yeah but you like it when I'm bad" I hear a few whistles and chuckles from the crowd around us. "You know you miss me" Inanna continues. Here we go... "now get the fuck off me". I smile as the words come from my mouth, remembering how much I really didn't wanna hurt her pushing her off my lap when we were filming. "Ohhh" people join in from around us as they remember the scene.
"What the fuck Hardin?" I laugh at her. "Huh you didn't mind fucking me before though right? Oh let me guess, your still mopping over that stuck up bitch" I see out of the corner of my eye that Jo is bent over laughing at mine and Inanna's exchange. "Don't fucking talk about her okay". I see Inanna take a deep breath before finishing the scene. "Look at you! You look like a lost little puppy, over some Virgin Mary turned skank who doesn't even want you!"
We receive a round of applause and both sit back down. I receive a pat on the back Dyl who I'm next too and the game continues.We've had multiple scene exchanges and then the arrow lands on me again. It spins and lands on someone who I don't have a scene with but I speak into the microphone anyway. "Hey I wanna recite something" I can see the gears turning in peoples heads, trying to remember what I could want to say as I stand up. I put the microphone to my mouth again. "I'm gonna recite two things" I start off and my eyes find Anna in her seat and I give her a smile because I know she will like this. "I've read hundreds of novels in my life" I hear a couple of people clap and cheer a little. "Most of them claiming that love was the centre of the universe. That it could heal any damage inside of us. That it was what we need to survive.
From Darcy to Heathcliff, I thought they were fools. That love was something fictional, only found in worn pages of a book.
But that has all changed since I met my Elizabeth Bennett" I stop to take a breath before continuing.
"I never thought I'd find myself completely and utterly consumed by another until her. She took me hand and let me out of the darkness and showed me that whatever our souls are made of. Hers and mine are the same. I'm sorry, please forgive me.
You once asked who I loved most in this world. It's you!"
