The Week I Was in Love

by Joshua Eschoe

Love is so overrated. I mean, who needs love, anyway? Well, Jason wouldn't mind it... in fact, he does everything in his power to find it. Scarred by his ex-girlfriend Renee, he's determined to prove her wrong and find a young woman crazy enough to love him the way she couldn't. But much like the old saying love always finds you when you aren't looking. After an unexpected encounter in a park, Jason finds Courtney, who peaks his interest. Being the hopeless romantic that he is, he quickly throws aside any preconceived notions he might've had about love to the side, thinking this could be his last chance. However, something is off. As he does his best to give Courtney whatever she needs, he realizes... well, he doesn't know what she needs. Not because he isn't trying, but because she doesn't really communicate. Despite that, there's no way Jason is going back to living the dreaded single life with his two best friends, Travis and Eric, and his overbearing mother, so he decides it's fine. Totally fine. Flaws are fine, right? It's not like she's hiding anything from him... right?
