Since you won't talk to me, maybe you'll stumble across this...
I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know what to do about Jamie and Dallas. As if there IS a 'Jamie and Dallas' You've been broken up for years.
There's Jamie and Eric, who she is MARRYING in a few weeks.
and Dallas and... me?
This is so confusing. Jamie is/was my best friend in the entire universe, it's been that way since grade school, we've worked together, we lived in New Orleans together, we took all our vacations together, went on double dates, read fashion magazines, cooked, shopped, did EVERYthing together. and I would never WANT to do anything to upset her.
But here it is, and you all already suspected it, so I might as well just come out and say it, there is; something going on with us. I don't know what. I just know that after years of knowing him, and having so much in common with him(down to our issues with Jamie), and being there to pick up the pieces every single time she played one of her games with him, I have developed a VERY real fondness/admiration for him. And I know he feels the same about me.
Jamie isn't mad at him for having feelings for her best friend, no. She's mad at me for having feelings for her ex-boyfriend, who she kicked out of her life a long time ago, who she moved to New York to get away from because she didn't know how to break up with him the right way
What am I supposed to do? YOU CAN NOT HELP WHO YOU HAVE FEELINGS FOR, JAMIE. OUT OF ALL THE MEN IN THE WORLD, DO YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD PICK HIM?!?! Why would I want to do something that would make you hate me. You told him you never wanted to talk to him again. And you hadn't talked to him for months. Now all of a sudden, you want complete control over everything he does. You are in New York. He and I are HERE. He and I spend A LOT of time together, because we have the same sense of humor, the same interests, the same everything. And considering you told me you didn't care about him anymore, and I happen to care about him a great deal, I REALLY TRULY didn't think you would care about our hanging out together. You are getting married to a GREAT guy. He would do anything for you. You are happy. You have your life all mapped out. You told me you wanted me to be happy too, and if you really hate Dallas as much as you say, why do you care what he does? Why would you care what I do with him? AND FOR THE RECORD- I HAVE NOT AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING WITH HIM OUT OF RESPECT FOR YOU. I WOULD NEVER GO NEAR HIM UNLESS IT WAS OKAY WITH YOU.
I would never do anything to jeopardize what we have. I really love and respect you, Jamie. I'm not that "kind of girl" and it hurts me that you'd say it. You know me better than that. I haven't gone anywhere near Dallas. I wouldn't, but you just CAN NOT get mad at me for the way I feel. People can not help their feelings. If I could choose my feelings, I would've fallen for Will a long time ago. He was great for me. People don't pick how they feel about any given situation, it just happens, and it's SO SO difficult to undo. I'm sorry that you're mad at me, but I think you're being so selfish. You have everything you want in life, why can't I? Maybe you need to rethink your wedding and Eric if you're capable of getting this upset over an old flame that you threw away long ago.
Please call me or write to me, Jamie. We NEED to talk this out.
