Waiting for Superman [One Shot]

She’s talking to angels, counting the stars

Making a wish on a passing car

She’s dancing with strangers, falling apart

Waiting for Superman to pick her up

In his arms, In his arms

Waiting for Superman..

3 years ago...

I watched his innocent face sleeping. I couldn't bear the thought of life without him. He was my everything. My superman. He was my kind of perfect. I remember how he hated himself for not being good at relationships, how he tends to be left alone by girls because he wasn't enough for them. But I, I was so in love with him right now. I promised him that I would never let him go, no matter what.

A tear rolled in my cheek. That's how I love him. With every tear I shed, it's all for him. I'm naive, as people say, I'm stupid, for being too in love with him, but I just ignored them. Truth is, I was also one of them. I judged people who were madly in love, thinking that they were insane. And now I know, people do crazy things when they're in love.

I kissed his pink lips. I slipped my hands through his, intertwining our fingers. He gripped on my hand, enough to make me smile. "I love you." I whispered. He opened his eyes, and his brown orbs show. I quicly wiped away the tears. "Babe, were you crying? What's wrong?" His voice full of concern. "Nothing, babe. I just.. I just thought how life would be.. without you." I looked away. I was too embarassed to look in his eyes. He just hugged me tight and said "Sshh. I won't leave you, Paige. You are everything to me. Do you remember how we planned for our future? I'll make our plans come true. For us.." I smiled. He wiped the tear just below my eye with his thumb, and kissed my forehead. "I love you, Paige. So much." "I love you, too, Logan." He cupped my face, and pulled me into the sweetest kiss we've ever shared.

He handed me piece of paper that read:

I vow to love you, Paige Elizabeth Smith, forever, no matter what consequence life will bring. To love every little thing you are, every flaw you hate the most, to share the words when it is needed, and to share the silence when words are not needed. I love you, forerver..

Signed: Logan Phillips

And that gave me reason to love him more...

A few weeks later...

"I think it's best we stay friends." He couldn't look into my eyes. I was dumbfounded. How could he?! I wanted to say something but my voice betrayed me. He left me standing, with nothing to say, no explanation why, no nothing.

I got down on my knees and just cried there. I called my best friends, Natalie and Jane, to pick me up. A few minutes they arrived. "Oh my god! Paige, are you okay?!" They calmed me down but tears kept on falling. "Paige, everything will be alright, I'm sure he didn't mean it. Come on. Let's get inside my car. It's gonna rain soon." Jane comforted.

A few days after the incident, I called Logan a couple of times since he never explained. Then I decided to give up. There was no use. I despised myself. What did I do to make him decide to let me go? Everything he said. Everything I did for him. ALL GONE.

I couldn't help myself but cry. That's what I'm only good at. Then I decided I need a vacation, I need to get away from him. I asked Natalie and Jane if they were up for it. They were much more excited than I was.

Our destination was a 5-hour drive, since our place was far from the beach. Yes, a good way to take your mind off of things was to unwind in the beach.
