You Can Do Better - Oneshot 2/2
I narrowed my eyes at her, "Who are you to judge? You're like all the other nerdy chicks who are nothing but book smart, have no life, no friends, no boyfriend, and nothing to do but judge other people to make themselves feel better."
She shook her head, "Did I forget to mention jerk and asshole?"
I crumpled my can of beer on the ground, "Listen cupcake, you know nothing about me so stop judging and making assumptions. You only live once so why waste it following rules?"
"Exactly my point, you only live once. So why waste your life on alcohol and girls and breaking rules? You could be living up to your full potential and reaching your dreams." She glared at me.
I sighed, "You don't know what it's like for me."
"I do know what's it like to go down the wrong road. School is too hard, there are so many complications in life, life sucks, and you give up. You start failing school, turning to alcohol, fucking people to try and make yourself happy. I do know." She whispered.
"What made you change?" I asked curiously.
"My grandfather died. And his last words to me were 'you can do better'." She said simply. Sh picked up my crumpled can on the ground, threw it in the recycling, and began to walk away. "You can do better too."
I went home that day, deep in thought. My dad sat on the front porch with a murderous expression on his face.
"You can't just leave whenever you want to and come home at 1am!" He yelled.
I wanted to say that I was over 18, and was a legal adult, that he couldn't control me but I bit back my tongue.
"I know, pops. I'm sorry." I walked to my room with my head down and left my dad standing on the front porch with a stunned expression on his face.
Next day, I went down to the beach and saw the familiar face sitting near the ocean.
I sat down beside her and exhaled, "Show me how to do better."
She turned to look at me, and gave me a dazzling smile.
And for the first time in years, I smiled back genuinely.
--
I wrap my arms around her waist, "What would I have done without you?"
My beautiful wife smirks, "Probably quit school, turn to drugs, go homeless."
"Well, thank you for saving me." I mumble.
She gave me her dazzling smile, "I love you."
I kiss her sweetly, "I love you too, cupcake."
