The One Who Truly Loved Me

You didnt deserve This

What was he doing again? What was he watching? Questions that have been coming to his mind of late. Especially in the situation that he finds himself in now. Sitting down alone inside of her parent's basement all alone just staring silently at the television screen. A usual sight for every other occupant in the house to see on most nights just allowing him some space. Just allowing him to have time alone to his thoughts.

But of late he knew exactly why they were leaving him along. She had left. One week ago, his ex-girlfriend had left Point Place heading hundreds of miles away to stay with her mother in California. An ex that had been on his mind for so many months ever since they had broken up. A woman that many thought was perfect for him. So perfect where he would hear the rumors. How they were made perfect for each other. How they looked to be the perfect couple. Oh, how wrong they were. They weren't perfect. The evidence from their breakup had proven this. The cracks had been revealed for all those to see. Cracks that he couldn't help but think about for this past week. These cracks that would always be there. The very same cracks that he continues to think about on this night just staring blankly at the television set in front of him paying absolutely no attention to what is playing across the screen.

Only on this night things were different. He was not alone. No another is with him. A young brunette laying nearby fast asleep a couch cushion away from him. A girl that he couldn't help but feel sorry for. Feel truly sorry for what has happened to her through the years. A girl that was much like him in some ways but not in ways any would be proud of. To not brag over. They both have had their hearts broken. She just had her's broken more. A girl that had also watched her boyfriend leave town in what he considered to be a cowardly move. Even if he would never say it out loud. A girl that he has seen time in, and time out throw her heart and soul out there for the taking on a silver platter only to have it be thrown right back in her face. Only to have her heart shattered into millions of pieces by the very same man each and every single time. Something nobody should ever have to endure. Something nobody should ever have to experience but he couldn't help but admire her. Admire her from seeing how strong she came out each and every single time. To come out as though she had been reborn again in a few ways. Boosts in confidence not allowing anyone to put her down. Heck, it showed when she would just shrug it off as though it meant really nothing to her to begin with. God, he wished he had that type of confidence sometimes. Even for just a little while. The confidence to stand up for himself. Something that he still lacked. Even if he has stood up to his father a couple of times over the years.

Unknown to his knowledge as though his body was reacting on its own was answering his call. Answering his prayer as he glances at the young brunette by his side finding a loose piece of her hair right in front of her face. This loose piece of hair that his hand is reaching towards now to tuck away before he quickly catches on causing his hand to come to a drastic halt when he feels her hair within his fingers causing his eyes to go wide. Soft hair. So soft. Hair that he wanted nothing more to let go and retract his hand hoping to not awake her. This young woman that he now can't help but stare down at thoughts forgotten. Thoughts that suddenly come to focus on this young woman in front of him. This girl that he had been seeing in a new light for the past year now. This truly beautiful young woman in front of him.

A girl that for the first time he can't help but observe. Observe finding what would attract any guy to her. She was truly beautiful in every possible way. A very pretty face. A perfect smile. Heck even her pouts were cute whenever they made an appearance across her face. Long beautiful straight hair that any girl would kill to have. The perfect package in his opinion. But that wasn't what made her perfect to him. No there was something else. Something that he has never spoken to anyone before. Words that he would never speak until this night.

Until they escape his lips in almost a faint whisper that could only be heard from a very close distance away as he tucks the loose piece of hair behind her ear causing her lips to curl upward. This beautiful smile that he can't help himself from returning before he quietly reaches around to grasp the back of the couch.
