Michelle's P.O.V
Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone
Today is mine and Eldon's one year anniversary and I've never been more excited.
If someone told me after Eldon had broken up upon Hunter's return that we'd celebrate our one year anniversary, I would've laughed in their face and told them they were dreaming.
Yet here we are; Eldon and I.
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
I moved into his house when things became more serious and we started to have weekly movie nights, usually we'd watch Disney movies but one night Eldon suggested a horror movie...
"C'mon Michelle," he told me, "it'll be fun," he said.
Wrong.
By halfway through the movie, I was crushed into Eldon's side holding onto him for dear life. He said it wouldn't be scary, but it was – trust me. But even though I wasn't enjoying the movie, I was enjoying being by Eldon's side.
"See. It's not too bad," he said looking down at me clearly getting a kick out of seeing me the way I was.
"Shut up," I muttered into his arm, still curled up by his side.
From that night onwards, I refused to let Eldon pick movies. We stuck to Disney and not long after rom-coms.
It's always a rainy day without you
When regionals came closer, the two of us didn't really have time for each other. When I had free time, Eldon was coaching and when Eldon had free time, I was coaching.
Even though I loved being with him, times like these were hard. Unbearable.
With the annoying time arrangements came annoying living conditions. Either I'd be gone when he would be home or I'd be home when he would be gone. It was illogical and put a strain on our relationship.
And no one ever told me that love would hurt so much
Ooh yes it hurts
And pain is so close to pleasure
Because of the conflicting time tables, we had our first fight; after 5 months, we had our first fight.
"God Michelle!" He yelled at me, "I can't help what time I get home! That's up to Thalia."
I laughed, "yeah, Thalia."
Eldon crossed his arms and looked me dead in the eyes, "what's that supposed to mean?"
"Well, gee, I don't know," I told him sarcastically, rolling my eyes in the process. "Why don't you just leave me and go to her?" A tear dropped from my face but I ignored it going on with my rant. "No more conflicting timetables to worry about."
Eldon's anger changed to sadness and he uncrossed his arms, "Michelle..." but at the time, I wanted none of it.
"No, Eldon! Just go!" And he did. He walked out of our bedroom and into the lounge room. I didn't speak to him until the next time I saw him, a day later.
And all I can do is surrender to your love
Just surrender to your love
I regretted my words, he regretted his outburst and we forgave each other promising no more stupid fights. No more fights altogether.
Just one year of love
And here we are. One year since we started, stronger than ever.
"Happy anniversary," I hear from behind me. Turning around I see Eldon still in his pyjamas with a bunch of roses in his hand. I don't know how he managed to hide them from me.
I stand up and turn to face him, pulling him in for a kiss. "Happy anniversary."
One year of love. We were pushed to our limits, but we always forced our way back down to Earth and back to each other.
Dear Eldon,
Thank you for one year of love, here's to many more.
Love Michelle xx
