Why wouldn’t I care?

[jacksvalmont-blog]

‘Cause you were belittling my problems just the other day.

[xrenierx]

Yes really...you’re like one of the best people I know.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

Okay, c’mon, you deserve another hug. Bring it in.

[emileedarling-deactivated201510]

Don’t say that, you’re incredible —– and I’m sure it wasn’t your fault.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

Incredible? Y’know, I could be an axe murderer, little, ginger girl. You don’t really know if I’m incredibly or not.

[poisonramos]

Did someone leave you or something? Get a mirror and stare at your beautiful freckles? Anything but crying, please.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

I don’t think freckles are gonna help me with this one, kiddo. 

[ellyg-ham-blog]

Girl, I own them all. Pretty In Pink, 16 Candles, Breakfast Club…you name it.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

Um, thanks. I-I don’t think I said that earlier, but thank you. I mean, you really don’t have to do this. 

[gigidempsey]

Seeing as he wasn’t nearby, I’m sorry to say no.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

Not gonna lie, I’m a little disappointed. I thought I taught you better than this.

[emileedarling-deactivated201510]

I am so sorry that such a thing happened to you.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

Don’t be sorry. It was probably all my fault anyway. 

[xrenierx]

You can have all the hugs you want and need, J. You better ‘cus we need you here.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

Really?

[calliefr-blog]

Aren’t I always, babe?

[jacksvalmont-blog]

Why did I even bother asking? 

[alecrichter]

Mhm, sure you don’t. She said that because apparently you’re supposed to cry when a kid in your class dies even if you don’t know them or whatever. My mom didn’t slap her, at least not physically.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

Trust me, I don’t. Wait, what? But you didn’t know the kid. I mean, sure, it’s sad, but you can’t help it if you can’t cry. Everyone is totally different, y’know? Were you the only one who didn’t cry? 

[marleysimms]

So basically, it only looks semi-decent as long as you can barely see it. Great. Too bad most people don’t walk around with their eyes squinted, or completely closed.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

Maybe you’ll come across a blind person.

[marleysimms]

Okay, as long as you’re sure. And I’m not that little.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

I’m sure about two things: I’ll be okay, and you’re pretty little.

[ty-obrien]

I’ve got time.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

I doubt you even care.

Sometimes, I think about how easy it would to just leave. Do you know what I mean? Just leave and don’t look back—maybe move to the city, find a job, start a new life. Or leave the country; move to the middle of nowhere and live beside people who don’t speak English, and try to make yourself be understood while emerging yourself in their culture. Think about it—at first thought it seems impossible, illogical, and ridiculous all at once. But at the same time it’d be amazing, y’know? Exciting and life-changing and… yeah.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

...Do you wanna come with me on my trip to Great Brit? --- Oh, I’m Jackie, by the way. Call me whatever you want, though.

[gigidempsey]

My Netflix wasn’t working so I called the Netflix dude and after he fixed it he said let’s try it out and see if it worked so we watched an hour long movie together and I don’t know I think it was a date

[jacksvalmont-blog]

Did you guys kiss? 

[marleysimms]

Say one thing about how gross my hair looks today, and I swear, you’re getting a swift kick in the shins. I know it looks like a rat’s nest, but it’s not my fault. My idiot brother was hogging my bathroom all morning.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

I think it’s...quirky. Yeah, that’s the world I’m lookin’ for. Quirky, but only if you squint, or, y’know, close your eyes.

[ellyg-ham-blog]

Of course, whatever you want.

[jacksvalmont-blog]

Also Molly Ringwald movies? I heard those help.
