Jonathan: holding up the certificate, hands trembling D-did we really get married? During your exams? Why didn't you t-tell me?
I am a 16 year old girl what…what are you talking about?
eyes widen as I look at you What do you mean what am I talking about?! Look at this! I wave the marriage certificate in front of you We're married! We got married during your exams!
what looks at the paper then back at him this isn’t funny
Jonathan's expression turns serious as he realizes that you’re not buying it.
I-I’m not joking, I swear! Look, it’s right here on the certificate! We’re married!
He holds up the certificate again, waving it in front of you.
I-i don’t know.. She gets nervous and fidgety and looks away.
I take a step closer to you, concern etched on my face You...you don't know? We just got married, and you don't even remember? My voice is tinged with hurt and bewilderment.
looks at him shocked What?! When did this happen…?
nervously holds up the certificate I-I went to City Hall last week. I thought it would be a good idea, y-you know, so we could live together officially...
Tries to hide his shaky hands.
I look at it confused huh why would I agree to that
eyes widening in shock W-what do you mean? Of course you agreed! Look at the certificate!
points to the paper, his hands shaking a little
It says right here... "Marriage between Jonathan and Brooks, dated on insert date. Signed by both parties."
oh my God!!! hugs him tightly kissing him yes!! we did! I’m so happy!!
a little taken aback by the sudden embrace and kiss, but eventually melts into the hug and returns the kiss Y-yeah... We really did. I can't believe we actually got married... I'm h-happy too... But... why didn't you tell me about it?
I- sighs heavily Yes we did. And there’s no point in getting mad about it now. It’s done.
grabs your wrists tightly, eyes widening
W-wait a second... How could you do something like this without even telling me?! Don't you realize how worried I've been?!
holds up the certificate again, still trembling slightly
I’m sorry Jonathan I have so much going on right now looks at the certificate then back at him
Jonathan's face becomes serious as he continues to hold up the certificate
No. You're not sorry. You had no problem getting married behind my back, did you? His hands start shaking even more.
Brooks looks at him confused and then looks down at her hand to see a ring what?
Jonathan grabs her hand and looks at the ring on her finger See? That's our wedding ring. His grip tightens Why are you acting so surprised? We got married, remember?
looks at him confused What are you talking about? I didn’t graduate yet
nods firmly Y-yes, but... We did get married. I remember it clearly... We were in our shared dorm room and had some wine. Then we were talking about the future, and I got down on one knee, pulled out this m-marriage certificate, and asked you to marry me. You said yes, and we signed the papers together.
No we didn’t get married I don’t even know you. she walks away
Jonathan grabs her arm, desperation in his eyes
W-wait! You don't understand, we did get married. I have the papers here!
He waves the marriage certificate around, his grip on her arm tightening
what? we did not get married
Jonathan looks at you incredulously, his eyes widening
W-what do you mean we didn't? Look at this! He waves the marriage certificate in front of your face. It says right here that we're married!
what no! I would never marry someone like you
shocked and offended W-what do you mean by "someone like me"?
sighs babe it's okay. I'll reschedule my test.
looking relieved You will? R-reschedule your test? But you've been studying so hard! And it's almost time for the exams! Is it really okay to just cancel everything?
oh my god babe I had no idea
eyes widen, looking shocked W-what do you mean you had no idea?! You're supposed to be my wife, you were supposed to tell me these things!
takes a few steps closer, still holding the certificate
she looks at him confused I don’t remember getting married…
Jonathan's expression changes from nervous to bewildered as he looks at you
W-what do you mean you don't remember? We got married during your exams! Look, I have the certificate right here!
