Dear soulmate, who forgot me.

Chapter 2

Dear Jason, it's January 20, 2015
I didn't go to the hospital after that incident. And your mom was keeping me updated. And you didn't remember Mike or Alex your best friends. So I didn't feel so alone on the forgotten list.

I'm at home. I'm writing this letter of how we meet. So, here it goes:

I was just out of high school. I felt like the world was right, that everything was. My friends Amy and Leah invited me to the Cold Stone that's just in our town. So I drove and waited for them outside. They were taking what felt like years, so I got out and ordered my ice cream. As I walked in, the door heavy as it closed, there was only a tall handsome young man behind the ice cream counter. We made eye contact. Your blue eyes were breathtaking. I always tell you, your eyes are like watching the evening sky. So I walked over to the ice cream bar. And as I got closer, I saw that you were pretty cute. You looked like a Hollister Model. Your curls were being hidden by the Cold Stone hat you were wearing. You had a define jawline, and cheekbones. I had always been shy my whole life, so talking to the cutest guy I've ever seen, was pretty hard. "Welcome to Coldstone" you said. And I could feel you watching me as I looked over the menu. "Hi can I just get a scoop of chocolate ice cream." I spoke fast. But you understood me. "Okay..plain Jane.." you said. And I was half embarrassed, half wanted to in keep the joke going but my embarrassment won. I didn't say anything, but faked laugh. I felt insulted, and maybe because you are so cute, you'd be one of those jerks.
You kept it going and said, "why are you eating ice cream at 5:00 p.m. On a Wednesday all alone? Pretty girls like you shouldn't be eating ice cream alone." I was super embarrassed now. I felt my skin turn bright pink through the foundation I had on. This guy must be like this with all the girls, I thought.
You scooped up the ice cream and put it in the cup. I said, "my friends are running late." You nodded and smiled. "Your total is 9.97" you said. I walked over to the cash register and gave you ten bucks. You kept searching my face. I thought you had staring problems. If I were dolled up, I figured you would be staring but at that time, I felt embarrassed. I was wearing black pants, my dance team shirt from high school, and my Sperrys. My brown hair was in a ponytail, a messy one at that.

"You can keep the change." I told you. And I walked over to a table to sit down. You kept watching me. And I never felt so disturbed in my life. "Lets hangout." You said, loudly. I eyed you through the glass around the ice cream bar. "I don't hangout with strangers." I told you. I regret sitting down, but just then I saw Leah's car pull into the parking lot. I figured that as soon as you'd see other girls, you'd be creepy with them.

You laughed at my statement and said, "my name is Jason Michael Ovard. I'm 19 I work at Cold Stone part time and at the animal shelter part time. I go to school at Purdue University." I did listen to you, but then I saw Leah and Amy walking in. And I couldn't be more relieved.

You turned to look at my friends. "Welcome to Coldstone." You said but you didn't look up at them anymore. Amy nudged Leah and I knew right away that they saw how handsome you are. They ordered they ice cream and when you were done scoping you said, "is that it for today?" And then turned your head back at me and smiled. I couldn't believe that such a handsome funny guy, had been flirting with me. Leah was head dancer in the team. She was very pretty. She was petite. Amy was curvy. And I am tall, with long hair, and my chest is super small, and my butt is too big for my skinny body.

They walked over to the cash register and they paid you. They walked over to me and sat down. Just then, a family walked in. The girls were whispering and said, "he is so cute!" I smiled "he is." And there was no way I was telling them that you had asked me to hangout. The family left. And it was just the girls and me. And you.

I could feel your blue eyes burn into me. But there was no way I was turning to look at you. You didn't say anything.

The girls and I were talking about college and what not. When Leah stood up, and walked over to you. She said, "do you want to go to a party with me?"

Amy and I were shocked and I was angry. And baby, that is why Leah and I are no longer friends.

You turned your head towards me, "I'm flattered, but is she going?" I felt my face turn bright red. Leah laughed, "no she doesn't like parties." And that's the truth. You grinned and said, "neither do I!" And you smiled at me. Leah said, "we can just hangout?" And you crossed your fit arms across your chest and said, "sorry, I already have plans to meet up with her tomorrow outside of the town animal shelter at 1:00 p.m."

And in my head I was like woah, we never made plans. But I figured that was my cue to when we would hangout. I didn't say anything. Leah, super embarrassed sat down, and didn't speak to you again. After that it was awkward. No one ever turned down Leah. But someone did, and I'm glad it was you. So Leah and Amy said they had to leave earlier than expected, I told them goodbye and said that I had to use the restroom. But we both know why I stayed.

So once I got out, I walked over to you. "Hey" I said. Your smile can light this town, lover boy. "Sup" you said. "I'm going to leave right now..but I just want to ask you one thing, why do you want to go out with a girl like me?" I questioned you. But you didn't hesitate to answer me, "I like people who are different. You caught my eye. I knew you were different, in a good way" you laughed and then continued, "I've met tons of girls like your friend. I like a challenge." I raised a skeptical eye brow, "are you calling me a challenger?"

"Call it what you want." You smirked. "You don't know me or my name." I said. "But I want to. It would be of great advantage to gain knowledge of you."

I couldn't help but smile. I wanted to know you too. "My name is Isabel." I said to you. "I'll see you tomorrow, Jason." I said as I was walking out.

I still remember every detail of this day, every detail of us. I wrote it in my diary, by the way. Since the doctors don't allow me to see you, I had your mom give it to you. Please get better soon. I hope this jogs your memory.
