Brain Damage

A long time ago, I used to be an overly compassionate person who was kind to losers who had no friends. One of those losers was a blond guy named Brian Smith.

Brian Smith had a head injury from a car accident a few years back. He had no friends. And no girlfriends. He'd come to my Tim Horton's every single day and would buy about four jumbo coffees. He'd sit there for hours...watching me....

I felt sorry for Brian and I got to know him quite well. My boss told me that she knew Brian's mom and that she knew Brian "was a nice guy".

I went out with Brian a couple of times for coffee. I told Brian-CLEARLY-that I ONLY WANTED TO BE FRIENDS. Brian "accepted" my wish to "just be friends". By the end of our second time at the coffee house he was asking me questions like "can I kiss you, you're so beautiful can I please, please kiss you?"

Brian wanted to go out again. I suggested the Keg for dinner (since I had a gift certificate for that place).

When Brian came to the door to pick me up (remember I didn't think of him anymore than just a friend) he had this big smile on his face-as if he had swallowed too many magic mushrooms. He had a special present for me too: a flashlight with plastic flowers wrapped around it.

All the way to the Keg he kept begging me to kiss him. "can I kiss you, you're so beautiful can I please, please kiss you?" At dinner time he begged me to kiss him, he even went as far as sitting beside me while I was eating dinner. And all the way home: "can I kiss you, you're so beautiful can I please, please kiss you?" Finally, he wouldn't allow me to pass him until I let him kiss me. As he tried to get his tongue in my mouth, I moved away with disgust. Brian didn't apologize for being so bold. He just looked disappointed.

Then as we neared my house and I felt I was about to get home free, Brian did something that really shocked me! He blocked my way home, he wouldn't allow me to pass him until I AGREED to go out with him the whole month of October. I begged Brian to get out of my way. I was tired and I had to piss really bad.

Finally, after about half an hour of BEGGING him to get out of my way, I agreed to go out with him for a month. Brian didn't leave my property until he saw my mom come outside.

I blocked Brian's number. On Monday Brian phoned me from a pay phone at the mall. He said the reason he acted that way was because he was really tired and had drunk some alcohol and when he gets really tired he "has trouble making decisions". Brian implied that on any other night, he wouldn't have acted that way.

When I told Brian I was thinking of calling the police and having him charged with sexual assault for kissing me, his response was: but I thought you let me kiss you. I screamed and ranted at Brian for the way he acted. Brian got angry and hung up. He never once apologized.

When Brian phoned again, he tried to explain again why he acted that way. He still didn't apologize but he did admit that he acted "like a jerk". I then told Brian that if he ever phoned or came near my home again I WOULD GET THE POLICE AFTER HIM. Brian-for the first time-understood what I was saying. He had no problem "making the decsion" never to contact me again.

I have not taken the time to befriend losers since.
