❝I'm not crazy.❞
___________________________________________________
in which a girl with agoraphobia messages an unknown person one day, marking the start of a bond that grows stronger with each conversation.
Tell who? And what do you mean? Who are you? Do I know you?
I can't help it. Make it stop, please. Make it stop. Just make it stop now!
OK, just calm down. I can call the police for you, or any hospital. Are you from here? I mean Paris?
You don't know how I feel now. The walls are closing in on me. I have trouble breathing. I'M NOT CRAZY! Tell all of them that I'm not crazy. I don't lie about my phobia. I am not crazy.
What phobia?
Agoraphobia.
Oh. It's the one where you're afraid to leave your house, huh? I mean I don't know much about it.
It hurts a lot. More so when they don't believe you. And even more when you've been struggling for eleven years.
Ouch. That's sad I guess. Idk. I can't be of much help here as I don't know you and I've never met someone with Agoraphobia. So yeah, this may sound slightly rude but you'll have to find someone else. Sorry. And next time, check which number you're dialing.
No! Don't leave, please. I beg you. I need someone.
Look, I need to be somewhere in a while and I'll be very late.
Can't you help someone else? Do an act of kindness. Just please make them believe that I am not crazy.
Make who believe that you're not crazy? And I would've helped you if I wasn't about to go somewhere. Since I won't be here for long I'd love to avail this opportunity. I can guide you to a helpline. I know a person here.
No don't. No one believes me! They all hate me so much. They think I'm lying. I don't lie. You have to believe me. Please.
You there?
Alright. You have 10 minutes and then I'm leaving, got it? And you better not be bluffing. I'm not a rude person at all, but these things annoy me. So 10 minutes and that's that.
Thank you. Thanks a lot.
Time's ticking. So tell me what you want to talk about? I'd ask for your name ya know but since this is the first and the last time we will be conversing, I won't do that.
You can call me J. And I live here in Paris. Have been living here since I was four.
Hey, hey. Don't give me your life history. I mean I love history and all, but we're short on time and this'll take very long.
You say you're not rude, but it doesn't look like that.
Look, I'm sorry. But I have too much on my plate right now, yeah? And this just adds to my problems. I mean a person with a fear of public going batshit crazy? Definitely not what I expect before going to the museum.
Oh. Sorry.
Hello?
Hey. Whoever this is, my man here has to leave. We're on a really tight schedule here. Busy people! So you can talk to your secret lover later ;) Bye!
No wait. Don't go.
Please stay. Please.
Save me. I beg you.

And just one thing, you might think that Francis is a heartless person by being rude to Jacqueline, but I'm only trying to make it seem as realistic as possible. I mean think about it, you won't be welcoming to an unknown person who messages you out of the blue and doesn't want to leave you.
So hope that clears things out. And thanks once again.
