History:
This is the prequel to "Unwritten Life." It is best read after "Rewritten Life" as it gives away some of the story. It is the paths of both Jim and Alex, how they had linear paths across the country and a bunch of almost meetings between the two of them. I wanted to show the audience Alex's love and grief for Matthew, and her best friends, John and Mary. I also wanted to show the history between Alex and Greg, as well as Jim's history with his family and his mourning of Matthew.

Excerpt: Alexis's Path ..
Alexis took a deep breath and poured John his cup, but when she tried to pour Matthew’s cup, her hand shook nervously, and she spilled it all over his lap. “Oh, my god. I’m so terribly sorry,” Alexis quickly ran over to the counter to grab some towels. She gently patted Matthew’s lap. “I’m really sorry. I don’t know what came over me.” Matthew touched her arm and their eyes met. “Don’t worry about it. It’s nothing the dry cleaners can’t handle,” he laughed. “I’ve never done anything like this before. I don’t know what happened. I’m so sorry. Did I burn you?” “No. Please, sit down,” he smiled. “John, will you excuse us for a moment?” John stood up. “Lex, please sit down. I’ll be over with Mary if you need us,” he hurried over to the counter. John and Mary focused their eyes on the couple as Alexis sat down. “Lex?” Matthew asked. “My name’s actually Alexis,” she smiled nervously. “I’m Matthew Garris. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Jim's Path
“Janet, what are you doing here? Where have you been?” he looked up from the front porch. “I had to see you one last time,” she whispered softly. He stood up and walked down the steps. “One last time?” “Jimmy, I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I left the way I did. But I can’t be married to you anymore. I can’t be your perfect wife. You want––you want–– you want what Matthew has. You can’t have it. That woman, that perfect bride, is what you want. I could see it in your eyes, I can’t be her. I can only be me.” “Janet, that’s not true. I love you. Don’t you love me anymore?” His voice broke. “I’m sorry, Jimmy. I just came back to get my stuff and say good-bye. This is it,” she went into the house. Jim followed her as she packed her things. “Please, don’t leave. We can work this out.” “No, Jimmy, we can’t. It’s over. It has been over for a while now, but it took me seeing that look in your eyes to know the truth.” “What look? What truth? What are you talking about?” Jim pleaded with her to finish. “You wish that you had your best friend’s wife. I saw your eyes. I wish that you looked at me that way, but no. It’s all about the perfect wife. Hey, and I hear she’s rich, too. Why don’t you just break up their marriage, as you did ours?” “Janet, you don’t know what you’re saying. I love you. Don’t you love me anymore? We did love each other. Isn’t it still in our hearts?” She walked out the front door and toward her car. She turned around one last time. “No, Jimmy. I don’t love you anymore. This is it!” “Drop dead! I never want to see you again!” he yelled. Janet got in the car and sped out of the driveway. Jim dropped on the front steps of the porch and buried his face in his hands.
And so it continues... again.
Enjoy.
