I'd Rather
~*I thought sometime alone
was what we really needed
you said this time would hurt more than it helps
but I couldn't see that*~
"Reggie, I just think we should see other people," Lars said, looking into his girlfriends tear-filled eyes.
"I don't want to see other people, I just want you," Reggie cried.
Lars sighed "Come on Reggie, this could really help our relationship if you think about it, if we can pull through this then it will prove we were ment to be."
"No, it won't, I know we were ment to be, this is going to make us drift further apart."
"Reggie, I love you, a lot, but things just aren't working I'm sorry," Lars paused, ready to say more, but then just left the house.
~*I thought it was the end
of a beautiful story
and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone
and I tried to find
out if this one thing is true*~
A week after the break up Reggie was seen with another guy named Eric, Lars couldn't believe it, he had thought that he would have been the one to get over her, and to move on, but it had turned out the opposite.
It was 8PM on a Friday night. Lars was sitting in front of his computer screen with his AIM window up. Nobody was on except for that robot you can always depend on, smarterchild*! He sent an instant message to the all too familiar screen name. "Am I an idiot?" he asked. "Am I an idiot? I'll have to think about that for a while." SmarterChild replied Lars rolled his eyes. (A/N: Yes I had to put that smarterchild moment in there lol) Just then he heard the sound of a door open, he looked at his buddylist to see that his friend Lauren got online. Before he had the chance to say anything to her she IMed him. "Hey what's up?" She asked. "NM" was his reply. She asked him to come to a party with her. "I'm not sure what I'm doing yet," he said, he didn't really feel like going out. "Okay tell me by 10 so I can pick you up if you wanna go," and then she signed off.
A few minutes later Reggie signed on. Lars hesitated before sending her a message but finally persuaded himself to. "Hi," he typed. "Hey. :)" she sent back. "Are you doing anything tonight?" he asked hoping they could patch things up. "Yeah... i'm going out with my boyfriend," -boyfriend?- Lars thought, it was almost to much to bear, he pressed the little block icon next to her name and sat crying for a minute. When he collected himself a bit he unblocked her. "You all right?" She asked. That was one of the things Lars loved about her, she was so caring. "Yeah I'm fine, just a little shocked," he said. "Me too, but I figured since you didn't want to be with me anymore I had no choice but to move on." Lars started to cry again, "Oh," he said she didn't answer, "I g2g." and he signed off. He picked up the phone and dialed Lauren's number.
The truth was while Reggie and Eric were 'dating', he was going away for the weekend, so Reggie was going to be alone. She wanted Lars to be jealous, but she couldn't her self stand to see Lars with someone else, she hoped she wasn't making a mistake.
~*that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart*~
Lars went to the party, and met a girl named Jessica, they started to become closer by the day. And each day that past the worse things looked to Lars and Reggie as far as patching things up went. Lars started to feel bad, him and Jessica did a lot of stuff, they both knew that there relationship was purely based on lust, and not love. They didn't really even respect each other. Jessica even talked about other guys she wanted to be with and Lars would reply by saying how hot so and so is. They would just laugh and mess around with each other.
~*And then I met someone
and thought she could replace you
we got a long just fine
we wasted time because she was not you
we had a lot of fun
though we knew we were faking
love was not impressed with our connection they were all lies, all lies*~
Nearly a month had past since the last time Reggie and Lars had last spoken. Eric and Reggie had broken up weeks ago, and she was alone once again. Lars and Jessica had been going strong until a better looking guy with more money came along.
He walked up to her door and knocked, he hoped it would be Reggie who answered, he wasn't sure what he'd do if Ray or Otto answered the door. She opened the door, when she saw him there apart of her wanted to hug him and hope everything was okay between them, but another part wanted to slam the door in his face.
~*so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart*~
She went with her first instinct and gave him a hug, Lars felt so happy with his arms around her, he hadn't hugged her in so long. After about a minute Reggie pulled out of the hug. She started to cry and whispered "I missed you." "I missed you too," he whispered back and then kissed Reggie's forehead.
~*I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you,
I can only prove the things I say with time, please be mine*~
After they broke from there embrace Lars looked at Reggie and said "I'll understand if you don't want to try and work things out,"
"Lars, I love you, and I'll do anything to try and put our relationship back together."
Lars smiled, Reggie took his hand and led him into her house.
~*I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart*~
