a/n: Here's a little something I cooked up for the bestest person I know, Danie! Her username on here is CelticPrincessx3, so check her out! She helps me so much with my own stories, so if you love me, then I know you'll love her!
The song that I used for this story is called "We Weren't Crazy" by Josh Gracin, go on and look it up! I'll have the link posted on my Twitter, just to make it easier.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DANIE! I HOPE THAT YOU LOVE THIS, AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU!
Young, Wild, Restless
We headed out to California
Everybody tried to warn us
Said we wouldn't make it any further
Than that worn out Chevy would
We were 18.
She had graduated at the top of our class, he – well he was about average. She had won Prom Queen, while he stood in the crowd and watched her dance with the King. While she paraded around with the popular group, he hung with 'degenerates' of the school. They were complete opposites, yet they were completely crazy for one another.
Her parents weren't big fans of his, they felt that she needed to be with someone in their social class. Jack – her father, was the CEO of an oil company, while her mother Lucy, was the trophy wife who kept things running smoothly. His parents, well – his dad, Zack, was a mechanic who worked tirelessly to make ends meet for the household; he welcomed Emma in with open arms, she had become like a daughter to him almost instantaneously. Patricia, his mom, had ran out on them when he had turned 10. They tried to talk her out of being with him, even taking away her car… among other things. But that didn't stop them from being together.
So here they were two weeks after graduation, throwing their suitcases in the bed of his old Silverado. She had gotten accepted to UCLA, and he had taken a job at a mechanic shop nearby. Jack, who was slightly more approving than his wife; gave them quite a lot of money to get them started. He often said that if he'd listened to his wife's parents, they'd of never made it this far. Lucy, on the other hand, gave them warning that she'd never speak to her eldest child if she left with him.
She didn't care, so therefore, neither did he.
We broke down a time or two
Thought "maybe we didn't think it through"
We were all we had to turn to
When it wasn't lookin' good
Did we have it easy all the time? No.
There were times that they didn't see eye-to-eye. Times that they questioned whether or not they should still be together. Hell, he even packed his bags a couple times. But that feeling always passed before he even made it to the city limits. So he'd turn around, pull into their driveway, and run back into her waiting arms.
They knew that all they had was each other, they had to make it work.
We're lookin' back laughin'
'cause they called us crazy
We were young, we were wild, we were restless
Had to go, had to fly – had to get away
Took a chance on that feelin' – baby
We were lovin' blind – borderline reckless
We were livin' for the minute we were spinnin' in
Maybe we were a lot of things
But we weren't crazy
At the end of the day they knew that they were meant to be together. They were going to have to fight for their relationship sometimes, but they knew that what they were fighting for was real.
And that's all that mattered.
Just a couple kids a couple years ago
Now we got a couple kids of our own
We turned out right – and proved them wrong
Look at us going strong
Time flew by pretty quickly whenever he actually sat down to think about it. Emma had graduated with a Bachelors in Business Management, and took care of all the behind-the-scenes stuff at his garage. While she went to school during the day, he took night classes and eventually earned his certification as a welder/mechanic. During that time, they welcomed two children into their home. Dean Jr., came into the world during Emma's sophomore year at UCLA. Samantha, she followed two years later, two weeks after she walked the stage.
Of course, the two drove them wild, but they wouldn't have it any other way. Their free time contained driving them to and from lessons. As well as picnics in the park, and trips to the zoo. As amazing as it was to be a father to two awesome kids, it was even more amazing to see the love of his life transform into a beautiful mother.
Her parents had come around after Samantha was born. Nothing melts the heart, quite like a grandchild will. He had never really needed their approval, but he'd be lying if he said that he wasn't happy to have finally gotten it. They visited often, Lucy told him that she was sorry for doubting him and his ability to take care of her daughter.
He couldn't deny that it was a great feeling to prove his biggest doubter wrong.
Could of set it down
When things got tough
Could of walked away from this love
But that'd been crazy
They got married when their youngest turned six. He had been planning it for quite some time, there just never seemed to be the right opportunity to do so. When they visited their hometown for their class reunion, he knew that there couldn't be more perfect timing.
The two had broken away from the dance that was going on, to walk around their alma mater. She wore a skin tight navy blue dress, while he opted for blue jeans and a button down shirt. His trademark leather jacket draped her bare shoulders. Hand-in-hand, they walked to all the places they used to hand out at.
Before they knew it, they were on the pavilion. Walking to the center, they sat on the edge of the fountain. For a while they just talked, they spoke of how far they had come since they had sat there for lunch all those years ago. Pretty much everyone in the school gave them a hard time about being together, hell, even he knew that he wasn't good enough for her. But she saw something good in him, for that, he was forever grateful.
That's what he told her when he got down on one knee and proposed. He told her that he didn't know where he'd be if she hadn't of taken a chance on him. She kept him out of trouble, she showed him that he was worth so much more that what everyone else had led him to believe.
She saved him, he could never repay her enough for that.
We were young, we were wild, we were restless
Had to go, had to fly – had to get away
Took a chance on that feelin' – baby
We were lovin' blind – borderline reckless
We were livin' for the minute we were spinnin' in
Yeah, maybe we were a lot of things
But we weren't crazy
