Jamie fell to the ground, tears in her eyes. .
"I lost him. . ."
She got up, cupped her eyes and thought to herself, I never really had him. .did I?"
Sometimes, you look for love throughout your life and really do end up finding it
Alas! all twisted in places which you might never really reach even in your wildest dreams. .
Jamie was a very cheerful kid, who used to love talking to everyone she met and mingled well enough with everyone.
Soon, this little girl lost her mother in a car accident.
Her heart was always heavy, her father tried his best to raise her right but the hole in her heart did never let her heal.
Jamie's therapist suggested that she should go out and meet new people little did she know, how hard a task this was for our beloved Jamie.
Jamie's best friend, Rachel was always worried about her.
Rachel grew up along with Jamie, they had been best friends for about 15 years.
That evening, Jamie went to talk to Rachel about her predicament and the task at hand.
"Why don't you meet someone Online?" Said Rachel.
"Online?"
"Yes! You have a problem going out and talking to people, right?"
"Yes. .." Jamie Looks Puzzled. .
"Well then talk to people in a chat room, Online, No problem typing. . Right!?"
"Yeah. . Okay"
On the night of 10th March, Jamie pondered a lot on this idea and went online to look for a suitable website.
She clicked on a random link, 'www.randomstrangers.com'
'Enter your username'
"Username? Hmm. .." Jamie Pondered.
She forced her fingers to type "Athena's Girl" and a tear slipped down her cheek.
Her mother's name had always brought her love and so it only made sense to use the same, here.
The chatroom opened up to a white screen and suddenly texts started pooling in, everything piled up so quickly, Jamie lost count.
She started typing half heartedly, 'hi'.
Suddenly, she received a private message from 'James18'.
"Hello there, first timer?"
"Yes. . Is it that obvious?"
"Fairly, nobody here types Hi anymore"
"Haha, oh. I see. . So much to learn"
"I'm James! How you doing?"
"Oh hey, I’m Jamie, I’m good. You?"
"JAMES AND JAMIE? i like it."
"Hahaha, true."
Jamie didn't realise how time ran ahead and spoke to this stranger right through the night.
James and Jamie grew closer and closer and closer as the days passed.
Jamie used to type her day out to James and James used to be there for her, round the clock.
It was March 28, 2018 when Jamie had a session with her therapist.
She was waiting in the lobby for her session and an article caught her eye.
What happens when you fall in love. .
“that sounds interesting” . .She read on
‘If you love someone, you may feel like you can't get them off of your mind. That's because your brain releases phenylethylamine, aka the “love drug” when you fall in love with someone. This hormone creates the feeling of infatuation with your partner.
You may be familiar with the feeling because phenylethylamine is also found in chocolate, which may explain why you can't stop after just one square.’'
She laughed and then bit her lips because every word in the article simply reminded her of James. .
Soon, it was her turn and she went in. .
" Congratulations Jamie, you have made remarkable improvements!"
"Thanks. . .you know, I feel like that deep dark hole has actually started to fill in."
"That's incredible. . Hold on to the reason."
Jamie ran home with a smile on her face and just the thought of James made her blush.
She decided she would confess her feelings to this amazing person who changed her life in such a short time period.
She went online and as always James was right there, waiting for her.
"JAMES! I need to talk"
"Hey Sugar! What's up?"
"James. . It's just. .I want to tell you how I feel. . "
"I've never felt this way before either, Jamie. .
Just the very thought of you makes me feel complete"
"I want to see you, touch you, hold you, spend my life with you"
" i do too.."
"Meet me, James"
"Tonight, 12am, St. Charades Garden?”
"12 am?. . Okay. .I’ll be there!!"
“awesome. .meet me on the seat by the Fountain”
Jamie had never been this happy, she was so excited to finally see the man who changed her life.
At 11pm, she decided to get ready, she looked in. The mirror and her smile made her blush
She picked out her favourite dress and matching shoes with the perfect accessories, her favourite bag and just the perfect amount of makeup.
She picked up her keys and looked into the mirror for the final time. .
Jamie had never felt this confident and complete.
She sat in her car and drove down to the Garden.
She walked to the right seat and sat there, James was probably late. .it was all so quiet and empty.
A perfect contrast to Jamie’s mind and her heart where the symphony of emotions was making the most beautiful sounds.
She looked down at her Watch impatiently and just at this moment, the side of her eyes caught something at the other end of the seat.
She got up to see what it was and found a beautiful rose, she picked it up and smiled, her heart raced faster than ever, she looked around, “James? Are you here?”
Suddenly wind rushed past her sending a weird chill down her spine, she turned around and in a weird voice she said, “James?. .”
She felt a weird hand on her back and suddenly she turned around to find nothing except the dark night and this eerie feeling down her spine.
She looked down at her watch just to realise that it had been an hour and she decided to just leave.
She walked away, all disappointed, sat in her car, drove home and threw herself on the bed and tears took over her beautiful face
Her mind submerged into loneliness and her heart was on the verge of cracking into a million tiny pieces,
with tears filled eyes she picked up her phone and wrote to James. .
“James, why did you not show up?”
She waited and waited for James to reply but no luck.
She cried and passed out just to wake up unhappy and broken the following morning, she got up and opened her bag to look at the rose she found.
To her surprise, the rose was gone!
She emptied the bag on her bed and instead, found a note there, she picked up the note and started to read,
“ To my dearest, Jamie,
I love you.
I love you more than i have ever loved anything or anyone.
I could never stand you up, my love.
Never.
Jamie, you told me that you were empty and broken, your need attracted me towards you.
Your heart is so pure and beautiful that I just couldn’t resist it. .
Jamie, I’m sorry. .we cannot be together.
No matter how much i want this, i cannot cross the distance between us.
You wanted to know what I look like, right?
Go to the web and type, “JAMES MATHEW CASE”
It will answer all your questions.
I love you, Jamie.
Yours forever,
James”
Jamie couldn’t believe what she read and anger took over her, she threw the note and everything in her room along with it.
When she calmed down a bit, she decided to actually search for James, she typed the words on the page and the results appeared with a massive shock for Jamie. .
“JAMES MATHEW, the young man who was voted the best business man for the year 2017, found dead in his apartment.
Sources declared this untimely death to be a suicide and the case was closed on March, 9th. 2018”
Jamie fell down to the floor, unconscious. .
An hour passed and she got back to reality just to set herself into a sort of panic. .
She checked thoroughly and read about her lover and each line about his death brought her closer to tears.
“March 9th, 2018. .it was just a day before we met” Jamie reminded herself.
This reminded her of the eerie feeling she felt the other day, she imagined James trying to get to her and touch her, tears rolled down her eyes.
With this, she decided to text James,
“James? I love you too”
Just the words, ‘James is typing’ made her smile. .
“I know. . I know you do, I did come for you, Jamie. .”
“I know James, I’m so sorry”
“I killed myself, Jamie simply because the empty feeling was eating me and then I remember everything going blank just to return to consciousness at the ping of your text. .
You really complete me, Jamie. . I couldn’t leave this Earth because I had never really felt the love that i had always wished for and you my love, came into my life and gave me way more than just that. “
The words moved Jamie to tears and her hands shivered as she typed the next line. .
“James. . What do we do now?”
“Now, this is where we say good bye, honey and this is where you promise to live your life to the fullest, for me. .
From this moment, no more tears, My Jamie”
“James. . .don’t go. .”
At this moment, The screen went blank and just like that. .
James was gone. Forever.
Jamie fell to the ground, tears in her eyes. .
"I lost him. . ."
She got up, cupped her eyes and thought to herself, I never really had him. .did I?"
Jamie got up and weirdly enough, she smiled. .
For the first time, she knew exactly what to say to herself and this new strong woman, went on with her life.
The thought of this weird but beautiful encounter still runs through Jamie’s mind, every day, every hour, every minute.
“But. . mom, What happened to Jamie then?” asked a little voice. .
She laughed. .
“oh my little baby, she lived. . She lived on, just like she promised him.
She lived happily ever after”
With this she got up and kissed the little boy on his head,
“Sleep tight, J, Mommy loves you so much”
“I love you too mom”
"I lost him. . ."
She got up, cupped her eyes and thought to herself, I never really had him. .did I?"
