love Simon Pegg. If I ever had a celebrity crush, it would be for this man. Not like a direct sexual attraction (though he does give me my fair share of confusing thoughts), but like a bromance. Like I would want to be his friend and be like "Yo, come to my house were making frozen pizzas and seeing if we can cut it into rings rather than wedges just because, get your ass over here". And we would smoke a joint together watching a good movie. But after highschool we would start to drift apart, because you know people change and he wanted to go to college up north when the right place for me to go after highschool is down south and he gets a bunch of new friends up at Westchesterfield but they all suck and start changing him, he isn't the friend I knew anymore but I still feel like he's there its just those people, we fade apart till after college we both need a place to our own so we decide to reconnect and get an apartment near the city so we can both get jobs, things are nice again for a little while until his girlfriend gets pregnant, she swears she was on the pill so he hadn't been using a condom, and he loses trust in her and says he doesn't want to be a father wtih someone he can't trust, he has had the same ideal family life he's kept onto since we were kids and this made him rethink this, but no, he decided this wasn't the right move for him and told Jennet that he felt it was the best option to get an abortion, he said that he would pay child support but he would not be the father to the child, this changed Simon, after Jennet got the abortion the couple couldn't stand the sight of eachother and drifted apart until one day Simon caught her cheating with one of the guys from her "Philosophy in Motion" class up at Westchesterfield, to a depressed man this was all it took for him to snap, he decided he was going to move out and travel the world by backpack, he just didn't want to stay, stay where you ask, well he just didn't want to stay anywhere; me and Simon discussed traveling together, i assured him I would always be there for him if he ever needed me but I guessed correctly that it was falling on false ears, Simon had become a sad and untrusting person and I felt that I needed to do something about that, so I checked his travel tickets and booked the same flights as him, I didn't care about the money and I told my boss, who is more of my adviser in the new math department in my building where we teach people how to do math if they are in any level of school for free (though we are supplimented by the city and its relatively good pay), what was going on and he loaned me a few hundred for the expenses (for me and Simon), I get packed and ready for the trip that he is making: i have my backpack, tent, supplies, and two flightsuits for when we get to a cliff jumping spot I scheduled us for with the money from my boss, tomorrow is the day he leaves and me and Simon say our goodbyes and he tells me that I've always been his closest friend in the world and is glad I had been in his life, had, it felt wrong to hear it being said but little did he know I was going to follow him and be with him to cheer him up, he didnt want a ride with anyone he knew so he called a taxi, he loaded up his stuffed backpack and I watched the taxi leave, I quickly got in the car I had loaded up with my gear and started following him, luckily Simon doesn't really see my car too much so I don't think he would recognize me, but he took the wrong turn, the taxi didn't go toward the airport, it went to a car dealership where Simon picked out a cheap car and headed back off, i didn't understand but I continued to follow him keeping to stay unseen, he drove around until i saw him stop off at a homeless shelter, he came back out followed by two crying people in far too nice clothes for being homeless and it was a happy cry, I thought to myself it must be someone he knows and he's saying goodbye even though I'm pretty sure he doesn't have any friends on this side of town, he heads back off and he drives off in another direction that is definitely not the airport, but this time i recognize where he is going: the dam, the damn built a few years ago is a pretty cool place, calming, out of the way, large forests envelope both sides, and about 30 min off from town, but it is the only thing of note in that direction, luckily there are enough turns that i can remain hidden, far enough back to not arise suspicion in him; he parks near the dam, gets out of his car and i think i see him crying, but with a stern face, emotionless; he takes none of his supplies yet walks over to the dam, he hops a fence or two and is on the edge, next to a 250' dropoff, it clicked in my head; he was glad I had been in his life, had been, so there wasn't going to be a life any more for me to be around, i sat dumbstruck for a few moments, but Simon always seems to bring the best me out so I pull the base jumping suits out of my car and walk over to the dam, he doesnt see me come over, he is staring intently down at the bottom of the dam, i hop a few fences and i am on the same ledge as he and I don't faulter or shake out of fear once, he hears me a few steps off and looks over with the largest sense of confusion with a slight bit of fear, sadness, and guilt on his face; i gave him on of the suits and without mentioning what he was about to do I tell him that he forgot his parachute, he crys and thanks me; I tell him to stop being a little bitch and put on his damn suit it's taking all day, i show no sadness on my face nor any anger: only happiness, since i could be with my best friend in the world, we both get our suits on and i tell him I will always be there for him and there is nothing he could do to make me leave him, he smiles just as I push him off the ledge; fear and confusion are now on his face, but it turns to joy when he looks down and sees the beautiful water, i jump off moments after i pushed Simon and look down at the water as well, we both pull our shoots and land safely at the bottom, i landed badly and can't stand in the brush and foliage, Simon walks over and pulls me up and thanks me, I tell him that we are going to take the trip we were both planning on taking and he says that he doesn't have any money left, the homeless shelter i remember, i tell him too bad and we will just have to buy some new ones, he smiles and nods; we take our trip and now more than ever am I sure we are one of the same soul [[[ if you have read this far good job but what a fucking loser, i might add on to this story when i get stoned or something, it really need to have the 'me' character involved in some trauma adding depth to the give recieve relationship, like maybe simon saved me off the streets or something, i dont know; maybe i was a sex worker being trapped by my jewish pimp (im sure there has to be at least one) and like he gets me addicted to matza infused with cocain, but i mean that doesn't really overlap with my previous story, i need something that will make me saving him a big deal, like we were swapped places but not perfectly like im in a low part of my life and he helps me get out of it then when i save him from the dam he could give the same signal (whatever the fuck it may be) to me, like that would cause some emotional shit; maybe i could have a Jenette subplot where she struggles with her abortion descision and then changes her mind after she gets the abortion, like how fucking devistating would that be for a young(early 20s) be, but i defeinitely need to have more going on for me, im a hero sorta in this version and good stories don't have heroes, all good stories are depressing as hell, give me one good narrative that doesn't have a depressing or sad plot then i will call you a lyer because that is not a good narrative, and then i will complain about you using logical phallic C's before you can call me out on it, anyway, maybe the aborted child is actually mine and me and Jenette have hid that from Simon and I have to deal with not being able to be devistated by whats going on, because i can't let on its mine; thats not too bad actually, but i can't think of a good way for it to develope, like i cant tell simon cause that would be lame, him finding out just doesn't feel like a good story, what if Simon finds out he's infertile!... but that is basically the cheating plot already and two overlapping cheating plots is far too overplayed in the world of poorly written narrative,
