You were never going to be just another dumb blonde, and so you sat alone at the lunch table in the cafeteria.
You told yourself it didn't bother you that no one asked you to your senior prom. You told yourself to take it as a compliment when your first boyfriend couldn't get you to sleep with him and called you a frigid bitch. You had standards. You had goals. You didn't have time for people.
Which was good, because they never had time for you.
You were the first woman in your family to get a college degree. You weren't satisfied. You had things to prove. You went to med school. You were in the top five percent of your class.
You could have gone anywhere, but you chose St. Michael's. You needed to be needed. You needed to prove yourself. You needed to save the world.
But you can't even save yourself.
You keep the world at a distance. It's safer that way.
But you still eat your lunches alone.
He managed to break through your defenses with that cocky, charming smile. You don't want to be charmed. Your second boyfriend was charming, and he hurt you. You're not dumb enough to fall for it again.
You see through him. He's a little rich kid who never grew and hasn't seemed to realize it yet. It's not your job to take care of him, but you do anyway, because he needs you.
Because you're lonely.
You can't save the world. You can't save yourself.
But you can save him.
She comes along, and she's sexy and beautiful and knows how to have a good time. You never learned how to have a good time. You were too busy learning everything else.
She's not afraid to fall for his charming smile, but there's less at stake for her. She has a charming smile of her own.
He's sinking. He's drowning. You can't save him. You can't save the world. You can't save yourself.
And now, there's one last chance. He's here before you. He says the sweet words you wanted to hear, and he kisses you the way you dreamed he would, and he looks to you to save him.
But you know.
You've always known.
You can't save him. You're just another dumb blonde.
