Petekey - But You Didn't

A/N

I know there are a ton of one shots written using this poem as inspiration, but I'm doing this as a way to further analyze the poem, giving it an even deeper meaning than it already has.

Poem is in italics. POV is in bold.

Remember the day I borrowed your brand
new car and dented it?
I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't.

MIKEY'S POV

"Please, Pete?" I had been trying all week to convince you to take me out driving in your new car. I got my learner's permit a few days earlier and had been dying to go for a drive.

"Mikey, you've never driven before! What if something happens?" You argued.

"I'll pay for the damages," I try to convince you. "You know I wouldn't intentionally do anything to damage your car. Especially if we're inside of it."

After arguing for about five minutes, you cracked, leading me to his car. You hesitantly went into the passenger seat as I slid into the driver's seat.

A task as simple as safely backing out of the driveway proved to be difficult for me when I accidentally rear-ended hit your mailbox. It was a small tap, but that was enough to dent the car.

"Mikey!" You yelled at me as soon as contact was made between the car and the metal mailbox.

You quickly hopped out to assess the damage, taking note of the small dent above the left tail light.

"You've got some damages to pay for."

I shook my head in fear, my whole body trembling. I had no clue what you wanted from me.

'Please don't kill me,' I thought. 'I didn't mean to.'

"Hand me your wallet," you said.

Guess I'm not paying with my life.

And remember the time I dragged you to the beach,
and you said it would rain, and it did?
I thought you'd say, "I told you so." But you didn't.

MIKEY'S POV

"Why do you want to go to the beach so badly today?" you demanded.

"I'm just really in the mood for it is all," I responded. 

"You know it's going to rain, right?"

I looked up. Clouds were darkening, making the scenery look ghostly, as though anything horrifying could happen.

"We won't be there long enough for it to rain," I confidently responded. I fully knew that it may rain sooner, but I really wanted to go to the beach anyways.

I was wrong. We got to the beach. We were the only ones there, parking closest to where we were going to be. We were there for all of five minutes before it started pouring.

I glanced at you expectantly.

"Well," I started, "aren't you going to say it?"

"Say what?" you asked before kissing me. "I actually think that this is romantic."

Do you remember the time I flirted with all
the guys to make you jealous, and you were?
I thought you'd leave, but you didn't.

MIKEY'S POV

"Mikey." You tried to get my attention.

I ignored you. Some blond slut was talking to me as I ignored you.
