I never thought I'd fall in love. Not because I didn't believe in true love. I just didn't believe it was possible for a guy like me.
The first girlfriend I had, well let's just say I banged her best friend the night after I took her virginity. I didn't care. I just couldn't help myself. Females were just talking vaginas. Boring ones at that. I didn't set out to be that asshole. I just couldn't grow a conscious to care about what I was doing.
Love just wasn't in the cards for me.
I had totally accepted it too. I wanted nothing more in my life than to be alone. It was comfortable. It was enjoyable. It was what I wanted. Falling in love, loving someone seemed messy. An unneeded complication.
Love wasn't even a thought.
That was until I met someone who had an even less inclination to fall in love.
My name is Jack Hamilton and this isn't my story. It's hers.
Chapter One: New Neighbors
Dear Diary,
According to Google the name Lucinda inevitably means one thing: light.
In English the meaning of the name Lucinda means: light.
In Italian the meaning of the name Lucinda is: Graceful light. Illumination.
It goes on saying that; People with this name tend to initiate events, to be leaders rather than followers, with powerful personalities. They tend to be focused on specific goals, experience a wealth of creative new ideas, and have the ability to implement these ideas with efficiency and determination. They tend to be courageous and sometimes aggressive. As unique, creative individuals, they tend to resent authority, and are sometimes stubborn, proud, and impatient.
But I think it's all bullshit. Made up by someone who was pissed as I was at having the horrible name of Lucinda. I hate the name. If I could ever time travel I'm pretty sure I'd go back to the specific moment when my mother and father decided to name me Lucinda.
I don't know if it's the sound of the name that irritates me more or the plan fact it's supposed to mean light.
Maybe it's supposed to be fate reminding me to keep up hope. That I was my own personal light in the darkness.
