Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with owning What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Only the dvd.
A/N: Okay, chapter 2 here we are. The chapters are short, I know, terribly sorry about that. Anyways, before we get started I have a question to ask. You see, I want to make a short little movie type thing with my dad's new video camera but the problem is, I have no idea what to do. So if you have any suggestions I would really appreciate it you could send them in. Thanks very much.

Becky, hmmm. Now talk about an interesting turn of events. I never really understood what it meant when people would talk about someone coming into theirs lives, making them do a complete 180, and never even seen it coming. Never fully understood when they would talk about how love blind sighted them. Well, now I know. I didn't know that all that mumble jumble was actually true. I always thought it was just some bullshit sweet talk that people would say to get their partner in the sack. Well, once again, now I know differently.
I never saw Becky or how she would change my life coming. I've never seen a girl like her before. So............ caring, funny, lovable, understanding, carefree, and just so genuinely full of life. And with all that going for her, who does she choose to befriend? Me. Of all people, she chooses me. I don't know what she sees in me but apparently it's something. And to be perfectly honest, I'm glad she chose me. I may not deserve her, but I sure am glad I have her. I couldn't ask for anything better.
Sure there was Betty, and don't get me wrong, she was fun. For a while anyways. What with the thrill and excitement of it all, who would pass that up? But it just got........... I don't know........... old. It just wasn't the same anymore. It just got old and tirering. And it certainly didn't help any with her husband breathing down my back and sending me those subtle death threats, like that one talk about health insurance.
But then Becky came along and things are just never boring with her. Even that one night where we watched the sunset. Even though that was all we did, it was nice. That was the first time in a long time when I could jus relax and get away from it all. Forget my worries and just escape. That night still goes down as one of the best days of my life. She makes me a better person. Not only that, she makes me WANT to be a better person. I think that's one of the best gifts a person could give you. But, of course, all good things must come to an end.
I knew it would come sooner or later, but what can I say, I was in serious denial. I had a good thing going for me, again for the first time in a long time, and I did not want to face the fact that it would be ending any day now. But finally, I couldn't ignore it any longer. The truck started and they were ready to pack up their things and leave just like that. It felt like my heart had stopped. The pain was so ad I couldn't face it. But I don't have the right to be mad at her do I? Half my life I've just wanted to leave and be able to come and go as I pleased. And now I'm mad at her for doing exactly that? That's just not right. Truth was, I wasn't mad at her. Just disappointed. We had a good thing going and didn't want anything to interfere with that. But it's not like I 'm never going to see her again. I guess you could call that the silver lining. Life goes on and I will see her again.
I learned an important thing with Becky. It doesn't matter how many bad memories you have. All you need is one, just one good memory to make everything balance out. And without a doubt, Becky is one of the best memories I have.
