I’m Callum Jorgenson and I’m friends with Stormy Morning. I nearly lost the right to say that not too long ago. Man, that was a majorly epic fail. I didn’t even realize at the time that I was making a mistake, but it turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes of my life. It almost cost me everyone important to me all at once.
Tucker, Ross, and Stormy are my family. My real family? Well, I don’t have anything to do with them anymore. It’s not good, everything about them goes against my beliefs. It’s very toxic and I just decided to love them from afar. It’s for the best, trust me.
Mom and Dad are a special kind of crazy. They’re extreme hippies. Drug-using free spirits that refuse to be tied down by social norms. ‘Live free and do whatever you please without restrictions’ sort of crazy. They raised their twelve kids the same way.
Yup, you heard that correctly. I had eleven siblings at last count. There could be more, I really don’t know anymore. Last I heard there were twelve of us. Mom’s getting to that age where she can’t have any more, so I don’t think any more were born since I last heard. But I wouldn’t be surprised if there were.
There’s not much about my childhood that I want to ever relive, or even remember. I do my best to pretend none of it ever happened most of the time. It’s for the best, there’s nothing good about any part of it. At least not the parts where I was at home. There are lots of good memories when I was out with my friends.
That’s why my friends are considered my family. The times with them are the only parts of my life I want to ever remember. I’m so grateful that they gave me another chance to redeem myself. I will never let them down again.
Signing up with a matchmaker was part of that. I knew I wasn’t ever going to get the magic instant connection they all found. They were dead set on me waiting, and it was never going to happen. I know who she is and she’s not ever going to be my wife. There’s no way that’s ever going to happen, so I’m stuck.
They don’t know that I found her a long time ago, and I’m not about to tell them either. There’s no point, since it’s never going to happen. We’re not ever going to be together, she told me herself. She told me to find someone else, because we would never be together. There’s no point in waiting around because that was never going to change.
Only the guys don’t know that. They told me that I’d lose their respect if I settled for anyone else, but that’s my only option. I have to settle for someone else. They agreed that the matchmaker route was acceptable, so I jumped on it. If that’s the only way to get a wife in a way that they will accept, then that’s what I’m doing.
The only problem? She’s not finding her either. I’ve been waiting almost two months now and she hasn’t had a single girl feel right for me yet. I’m sitting around lonely while all my friends are married and getting pregnant. I’m being left behind and I hate it. Hopefully she’ll find someone soon, it could happen any day now…
