Bucky
I drove to Steve's house and saw him working on his Jeep when I pulled up. It's still something that he grew out of his bony self and now he's this tall muscular guy."Hey Buck", said Steve as he rolled out from under the Jeep.
"Want a beer?"
"Yeah I'll have one".
We both walk into the house and I see his mom isn't home. Probably working at the hospital. Steve gets two beers out and takes the bottle caps off and hands me one. I take a sip and sigh.
"You okay?"
"Not really. I'm trying to think of how I can get back on Scarlett's good side".
"Well good luck with that, I'm trying to also. We both screwed up Buck".
"I know and god I regret it. I miss her being my girl. It's been years but I remember it all so well. I have all these memories of us together. Remember that wedding of Scarlett's last brother?"
"Yeah, her parents went out since it was the last boy in the family".
"Yeah, well all I really remember is twirling Scarlett around in the beautiful dress she wore on the dance floor. The way her face lit up as I picked her up and twirled her.
She was the only thing I could see at that point in time. That moment I should've realized I loved her. I was too chicken to say anything. I've always been to chicken to say anything unless it's too late. That's what I'll always be known for".
"Bucky, you just gotta give her time. We left her. She's heartbroken, especially since you were very first love".
"I know but I don't want to think about what'll happen if she says no. I love her so much Steve".
"I know Buck. I know. How about you stay here and we can talk and then we'll maybe see about seeing Scarlett sometime okay".
"I'll probably end up drinking all the beer".
"That's okay".
