The Break-Up

I saw it today. Disappointment of the summer.

What made it worth being the title of this post is what happened after I left the movie.

I just finished unpacking a good majority of the boxes in my new place and realized I have no hand soap. There is a Walgreens a few blocks away, and figured a walk would do me good. As I am about to cross the street to Walgreens, I notice an old friend, Matt, who I haven't seen in probably over 2 years on the other side. He was good friends with my ex-boyfriend Jeff, and when we broke up, I kind of broke up with all of his friends as well.

It was really good to see Matt. We caught up a little bit and then he introduced me to his friends. He told them that he knew me through Jeff and explained the situation. We figured out that we are living near each other this summer and decided to exchange phone numbers. As Matt is typing mine into his phone, Jeff calls. Matt immediately tells him that he is with me and forks over the phone.

This is weird for three reasons:

1. I haven't talked to Jeff in over a year.

2. Lately, I've been thinking about Jeff and how I miss being his friend.

3. The end of the movie is eerily similar to the events I just explained.
