I wake up at exactly 5:30 am and start getting ready for work. It's a rainy day today but I don't mind at all. It fits my mood perfectly. My girlfriend Ayana left me 6 months ago and all I can think about is her. How could she do this to me? we've been together for 2 years and she just up and leaves . . . I'm hurt. I can't sleep, I can't eat and drink . . . a whole day feels like forever. . . she even got my name tattooed on her back . . a small tattoo but still . . . I really thought she loved me.
The first day she came to my house she looked like an angel. She was wearing a soft light blue blouse and a black skirt . . it was on a sunday. . her perfume was intoxicating and so was her smile. I miss her so much . . . she was the perfect woman for me . . . even my mother loved her . . . and that hardly ever happens.
I'm Michael Jackson, 28 years old and single . . . I couldn't feel any more lonely at this point. All my friends have girlfriends or are married. . . some of them even have children . . . I feel like such a loser . . all I want is love and to be loved . . . I have a big heart and tons of love to give. . . but the woman I love doesn't seem to want it. I'm not a heartbreaker . . I'm a good man . . I care about women, I treat them with respect! . . why is it that heartless jerks get girls all the time? . . women run after them like lost puppies . . . why is it that women go for that sort of thing? . . . I don't understand women . . . and I'm sure I never will. One thing is for certain: I will not change. I will never disrespect women or cheat on them . . that is just not who I am . . . one day I will find someone special . . . someone who was made for me. I have a great job, great family . . great friends . . . the only thing I don't have is someone to share my life with. . . .
Oh shoot . . I'm running late . . I need to leave now! I take the subway to New York City . . I work there at a record store. I grab a bite to eat before walking inside . . . I accidentally spill my hot coffee into a woman's purse. Oh god . . . how did this happen? I'm so embarrassed. I apologize to the woman a million times . . . she's quite angry . . .
"I'm so sorry, really!" I say
"I have my phone in there!! my wallet . . everything!!" She yells.
"I'm so sorry! . . . how can I . . . what can I do?"
"This purse cost me a fortune!! and you ruined it with your stupid coffee!"
"I'm awfully sorry . . I really am . . ."
"Get out of my way!!!"
The woman pushes me out of her way . . I bump into another woman and literally land on top of her. Can this day get any worse? . . I don't think so. I quickly get up and apologize to the woman I landed on. To my surprise, she's laughing . . . I don't think she's mad at alll.
"I'm so sorry . . I didn't mean to land on you" I say.
"It's ok . . . that was funny . . . I was just watching a movie yesterday . . a comedy movie with Kevin James and the same exact thing happened in that movie . . . don't worry . . I'm ok"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes . . are you?"
"Of course . . . I'm good . . ."
"Is your name Michael J. Jackson?"
"Yes! . . how did you know?"
She giggles . . .
"It's written on your shirt . . ."
"Ohhh yea . . . my shift stars in a few minutes . . I guess I better leave"
"Okey" She says, smiling.
She's really cute . . . . before I can gather all my courage to ask for her name, she's walked away already . . . bad luck never comes my way, I get it . . . . when I see a girl I like she either turns out to be married or not interested. My shift started and I'm already looking at the clock. Why is it that time goes by so slowly when you're watching it? All of a sudden I hear a woman scream . . . I turn around and see a middle aged man on the floor suffering from chest pains . . oh my god!
"Someone call an ambulance!!!" I yell
I run up to the man and help him sit up . . he's sitting on the floor leaning next to a wall. I give him cold water and tell him that the ambulance is on their way . . . he's having strong chest pains he says.
"Everything's gonna be alright, Mister . . don't you worry!"
"I wanna talk to my daughter . . I just saw her 5 minutes ago . . please call her . . her name is Amy . . call her and please tell her to come here . . ."
I grab the man's phone and call his daughter . . . I tell her to come to the record store asap! A minute later she comes running in. . . . "Daddy, daddy!! are you alright???"
"Yes, I think so"
"Ohh daddy . . . what happened?"
"I don't know . . I suddenly felt this strong pain in my chest, sweetheart . . but this nice man here dropped everything to help me"
She looks up at me . . . . I look at her . . . .
it's her . . . .
the woman I landed on . . . .
