It was another ordinary school day. Mayim finished her class and ready to go home to do some studying. As she was walking to the gate, she ran into Jim and a girl. "Hey!" She greeted her boyfriend. "Mayim." He uttered bothered as he realized that Mayim saw him with another girl. "I'm about to go home." She told him. "Oh. Okay. Uhm... Take care." He said shaking. "Uhm... Okay. Bye." She walked away. Jim felt bothered, Mayim saw him with Rachel, one of his ex and he despite that he didn't want Mayim to get jealous, he also didn't want to look so afraid of making her jealous or disappointed and so he went with the flow instead.
Later that evening, Jim went to Mayim's dorm to talk to her. "Hey." Mayim greeted him surprised by his presence. "What brought you here?" She asked. He pulled her inside and closed the door. "I need to talk to you." He said. "Okay? I'm listening." She replied. "The girl I was with a while back... She's my friend." He began. "Oh..." She uttered clueless of where the conversation was going. Jim found her response as something sarcastic. "Really. Well... Yeah, she was one of my ex girlfriend but we're through." He admitted. "Oooh." Mayim uttered again seeming like she is now figuring out where he was coming from. "We- uh... You know. I don't mind." She replied. "You don't mind?" He asked. "Yeah. It's fine. No biggie." She replied. "You're not jealous or something like that?" He asked wishing she would say yes. "Not at all." She replied shortly. Jim paused and thought about whether to be fine or annoyed. "Not even a little?" He tried again. "Absolutely not." She assured. "But I'm your boyfriend." He brought up silencing her. "You should at least be jealous or something?" He pointed out. "She's my ex girlfriend! I could get laid with her behind your back???" He added. "Did you sleep with her?" She asked. "No! Of course not." He replied. "Then, what's your point?" She sounded so clueless. Jim grunted and closed his eyes trying to control his fury.
"My point is, I'm your boyfriend and-"
"Are these... This thing between us... Is it even real?" She cuts him in. Jim remained silent. "Are we really together? Are we really committed to each other? Are you settling with me?" She swarmed him with questions. Despite that he wanted to say yes, his ego prevailed. "No. Of course not, I don't settle with anyone." He denied. Mayim gulped. "Then, I don't see where we are going with this." She pointed out.
"Are you breaking up with me?" He asked with a fear inside his head. "No." She replied and relieved him. "Good. Because we still have an agreement." He pointed out. "I know." She replied. "Good." He replied. "Jim." She called him.
"Just so you know... The time that you fall in love with someone, there are no longer contracts and agreements to save you from trying and working hard to get what you want. You better get used to working your ass off to get what you want because you wouldn't want to mess up with the first person you'll actually love." She told him.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He refused to listen.
"You'll meet a girl that would straighten your flaws and would change your perspective in love and you won't have any choice than to deal with it. There's no escape." She continued. "You're crazy if you think I would settle with anyone." He continued denying and left.

As soon as he left Mayim's place, he reevaluated his thoughts about her and it bothered him so much so he decided to go to the club and get drunk.
"Bring me the hottest girls in this club! Big booties and all." Jim told his friends. Some hot chicks flirted with him that evening, they danced and made out for a while but then for an instance the last chick that he kissed, he suddenly had a hallucination that it was Mayim that he was kissing. He withdrew himself from the kiss and drunk a concentrated whiskey. "Jim. You're very drunk already." Johnny told him. Jim looked at the girl he was recently making out with and realized it wasn't Mayim at all. "Get the hell out of my face, I don't wanna see you!" He yelled at the girl. "What? You're rude! Moron!" The girl walked away. "Jim, sleep first. You're drunk already." Johnny told him.
Johnny dialed Jim's sister, Courtney to pick him up. "I'll be there in a minute. I'm just few blocks away from there." Courtney replied and hung up. Few minutes after he dialed Mayim's number to update her about Jim. "Hey! Mayim, can you hear me?" Johnny spoke as soon as she picked up her phone. "Johnny? What's up?" She asked. "I'm with Jim at Club 21, he's been drinking a lot, I think it would be good if you assist him here? Are you busy?" Johnny told her. "He's drinking? He's drunk? Is he alright? I'll be there in a few minutes, please watch over him until I arrive there. Thanks, Johnny." Mayim hang up and immediately walked to the bus stop heading to the club.
"I called your sister and your girlfriend to pick you up here." Johnny told Jim. Jim laughed hysterically. "She's my girlfriend but I'm not his boyfriend." He pointed out and laugh.
"You really love her don't you?" Courtney said from behind. "Hell yes. I love that girl. I do. I do." Jim replied. Johnny and Courtney smiled at each other. "Then tell her. She'll be here in a few." She encouraged him. After few minutes, Mayim arrived. She saw Johnny and asked him where Jim was. "There he is." He pointed at the couch. Mayim saw Jim lying peacefully in deep sleep at the couch. She went closer to him and she could sniff the liquor all over him. She kneeled in front of him and stroked his forehead and hair. "Jimmy." She called him as he gently woke him up. "Mmm." Jim made a sound and went back to sleep. "So are you Mayim?" Courtney spoke from behind. Mayim stood up and shook her hand. "Uhm. Yes. Courtney right?" She greeted her. "Yeah. I'm Jim's sister. You are his girlfriend... Right?" She asked. "Yeah." She replied shortly. Mayim turned back to Jim and helped him stand. "Come on Jim. Let's get you home." She told him. "No!! I don't wanna go home. Let's get drunk!" He cheered. "No! Look at yourself! You can't even take care of yourself. Why did you even drink when you can't even handle it?" Mayim scolded him. Jim moved his hands off her neck. "The reason why I wanna get drunk is because of you!" He replied and dropped himself at the couch again. "What did I do? Come on. Let's go!" Mayim replied. "No! No! Leave me alone! You don't love me, just leave me alone to die." He refused to come with her. "What are you saying Jim!" Mayim yelled at him. "Let him talk." Courtney told Mayim. "You're a bitch do you know that?" Jim told Mayim. "You made me fall in love with you and then you won't love me back. I'm your boyfriend, you should be jealous when I'm with other girls." He continued blabbering. "See that girl? I made out with her! Her lips tasted like cigarettes I wanna vomit. And that! That girl, I kissed her because I thought she was you!" He continued. "You're so mean, Mayim. Why can't you just love me too? What is it that I don't have? I have money. I have the looks. I can give you everything you want. Just say you love me." He kept speaking. Mayim was stunned with all that he said. Courtney felt like that time wasn't the right time for his questions and her answers. "Ok, Jim. Let's get you home." He told him and asked his male friends to help them assist him to the car.
As soon as Jim was inside the car, Mayim started to walk away. "Mayim." Courtney called her. "Do you have things to do tonight?" She asked. "Not really. I mean... None." She replied. "Can you come with us and be there for my brother until he's sober?" She requested and Mayim didn't refuse.
On their way home, Courtney stared at Mayim. "You really look pretty." She told Mayim. "Thank you. You look very pretty too." She replied. "No wonder why my little brother, Jim fell in love with you." She continued. Mayim smiled as her cheeks turned pink. "He never did that for a girl, ever. I was surprised he got drunk because you... Rejected him?" Courtney brought up. "No. I didn't." Mayim defended herself. "We just had some yelling and stuff earlier this day. I didn't mean to make him feel so bad that he would make himself be this drunk." Mayim explained.
"I love you, May..." Jim spoke unconsciously from the back seat. Courtney giggled. Mayim suppressed her blushing.
After a while, they reached Parsons' place. Mayim took care of Jim, changed his clothes and wiped him with cold compress to make him feel better until he was completely asleep. She slept at the couch in his room until the morning.
