Love
so basically life is the hardest thing in the world...people change, you hit obstacles and sometimes you just get completely shit on. but life is also the greatest thing in the world. there will be days when you stop and wonder why me what could have i done to deserve this..then there will be days when i will look at someone else and wish with all my heart i could have prevented things from happening to them also. even the most pure fun loving people have the worst of times. people need to just be there for everyone, we dont know what everyone elses struggles are and shouldnt judge a book by its cover.
it takes courage to love. to give you heart knowing its easily broken,and not expecting anything in return..thats true love.
yesterday i was asked to do the hardest thing ive ever done in my life...
i was finishing work and on my way home when my girlfriends stepdad called me. well my girlsfriends phone is broken and she calls me off his on ocasion so i figured it was her, but when i answered her stepdad was on the line. he started off asking me if i could talk for a minute he had a huge favor to ask. of course i said ya and he handed the phone to his wife. she started off asking if i could pick up my girlfriend from work today at four and i said of course because we were gonna hang out anyways. then she asks me if i can keep a secret...im thinking they are gonna suprise her and get her something special or something so i laugh and say yes. they say..kyle this is serious and its a huge secret can we trust you?? again i say yes. then they tell me. .....her dad was killed lastnight...by her oldest brother...and we want you to keep her busy until 9:00 so her brothers that are flying from texas can tell her in person...
so here i am basically getting asked to lie to this girl that im starting to fall in love with, for most of the day, and act like nothing is wrong so she can have her world turned upside down when she gets home at nine...
well ive never met her brothers but she always talks about them and they are all so close so i figure that this is the only way it can be done. so i agree and rush home to go get her from work all smelly and dirty from a ten hour day.
as im driving over there im trying not to panic. im thinking ok so i have to come up with something to do for around 5 hours where she cant see the papers or news or anything. no myspace because there were already condolences in her inbox and everything.
so after this 15minute drive over i finally get there...and i walk in and go get her and we walk out to my car. well remember how earlier i said her phone was broken so she'd call me from her stepdads well someone at her work had given her a phone to replace it and she wanted to go have it activated...so trying to think quick on my feet i tell her playfully that she couldnt because i was kidnapping her for the day and taking her to dinner and out and all that good stuff. well she kinda played along but would not get off this turning her phone on thing which i 'blame her. but what can i tell her to make her not want to turn it on. if she does someone will text her saying something or something like that and everyone will get mad at me. so i tell her..heres the plan.. we go to my house i shower and change then we go to panda express then walmart to return ur broken camera then my house or something just to relax for a while. well she didnt want anything to do with it. she wanted to first have me drop her off at home so she could get her car check her myspace go get her phone turned on then hangout...
so riddle me this..
what do you say to your girlfriend when she cant know whats going on but you cant tell her why. you have to try and keep her not suspicous or angry and want to just leave all together???
i did what any 16 year old boy/man would do... i told her no haha. i told her it was gonna be a special day and to just please go with it.
and she agreed.
so we head back to my house and i take a super quick shower and change my clothes while all the while she keeps asking to use my laptop to check her myspace..then we leave my house and head to hers so she could get dressed..as we get there her stepdad and mom are like basically sitting there waiting for us to come back. we get out and she runs in to go take an shower and get ready while i sit out front talking with her stepdad about how gratefull he was and sorry for throwing me under the bus but honestly i was thinking of a plan the whole time..so her mom keeps pushing for her to do a ton of things while were out like mini little erands and she is getting pissed saying to leave her boyfriend alone haha. so as we are leaving her stepdad thanks me again and give me a hug right in front of her..
then as we are leaving in the car she says. damn my stepdad has a crush on you or somethin. were going to go make a copy of a picture and he hugs you goodbye hahaha.
so after we leave the first place we go is to eat at panda express. we have an amazing time but all along im worried how it will all come out in the ened. after we are both stuffed we migrate from panda to walmart to return the camera. we leave there and only killed one hour so now im desperate for something to do and she keeps bothering me about getting the phone turned on. so out of nowhere she decides we should go shopping at the mall and i thinks its random but a great way to kill time so im down.
we get there and everything was going fine for three hours when all the sudden i realise the reason we came to the mall...she was headed for the phone comepany booth in the mall..!! so here i am again faced with telling her not to get her phone working and i cant give a reason for it and honestly cant stop her. she gets up and thank god for all the ass holes who steal phones and all that good shit cause she couldnt get it activated with out the owner of the plan being there to verify it:):)
so now that that little roller coaster was over with the whole mall trip was pretty smooth..
so as we are leaving the mall for some random reason it becomes talk about how much i miss and love my dads and brother day. and as we are driving she is pointing out all these places they would go to and telling stories and telling me how i need to meet them and all that super depressing stuff...so im sitting here dying on the inside basically about to cry and i have to act happy cause she is having a great day and under normal circumstances i would be too..
so finally we on the last leg of our trip.. we stop at jamba juice to get something to drink before we move onto the next thing which needs to be her house and i need to come up with a reason fast because its almost time. then i get the call..her mom says that everyone is ready and i need to bring her back now...
so this ride home...this crushing ten minutes when im sitting there knowing in five minutes her life will never be the same.. i know that we are gonna get there and she will be sooo happy to see her brothers and go from happy to miserable in just a few mins...and ..she will know that i have know all day and had to lie and keep her busy so her brothers can tell her..
we arrive and she sees them and is so excited.. she runs out of the car sreaming and jumping around and i can see their faces and they are soo hurt also.. so as they are greeting i go inside..sit with all her relatives and family friends i dont even know while they are thanking me and teling me it was the right thing to do...
but im not gonna lie. i still feel like shit..it may have been the best way but why did i have to be the one to do it. couldnt they not have told me or something. couldnt they just have told her then??
well her and her brothers get done talking and she goes in her room..
now im really feeling bad..
her brother comes out and tells everyone she took it well but needs alone time. and that when she comes out she doesnt want any sympathy or long hugs or anything just to leave her alone. so my heart sinks...
her door opens and she comes out..i fell so bad i cant even make eye contact i just sit there trying not to cry or something stupid to draw attention. she comes out and joins the circle and her eyes are red and her makeup runny. everyone still trys to kinda make her feel better but she wants nothing to do with it.. she walks around the room and past everyone and right up to me....
im sitting on the couch..looking down..
and she calls my name and i look up..
she smiles and says thankyou and sits down next to me and wraps my arm around her...
right then...at that very moment she kissed me and i knew...
that this girl was not like everyone else..she was special and perfect for me..and that I loved her and would never be able to go on without her.
love is all its cracked up to be, its worth fighting for dying for and living for.
