A/N: Kinda weird. I like it but find it incomplete. Again, that could be just me.
The Approaching Curve – Rise Against
We were driving, on an interstate. The stereo was giving a numbing, gentle background to our previous argument. The dawn was approaching as we drove towards it, in her car.
Sometimes, perfect doesn't last. Especially when you weren't built like that to begin with.
"Why are you doing this?" she asked rhetorically, as she kept her hand on the steering wheel. It was the first time she had spoken in the past hour.
"I'm not doing anything" I said, not believing it myself. "This is what's best. For me. For you. For us."
Or maybe just for you, I thought. I turned to her and saw a clear droplet of water come from her eye.
We weren't always like this. Actually, I guess we were. She used to think I was repugnant, and couldn't stand me being close to her. But, I still managed to win her over.
Once she accepted me, we had a great time together. Smiles and happy memories even. It's the only part of us I like to remember.
I looked back to her and saw her teardrops turn into cries. She was shouting at me and I was shouting back. I couldn't help but defend myself, even if I should be defending her.
I didn't want to break her heart. Because I was breaking my heart too. But I had no idea what else to do.
I wish we could just keep being so perfect; so happy.
But, the truth is, our lives were changing after graduation. And we had to face these problems now.
She kept driving and I looked forward. We were approaching a curve, and I looked over at her. She was frozen in her position.
"Rhonda?" I said.
We were getting closer.
"Rhonda!" I yelled.
She made no indication of stopping.
I looked forward once more. In about 20 seconds, our lives would change. Together. Simultaneously. Maybe that was the way it was supposed to be with her. Live at an extreme.
I closed my eyes and heard nothing else.
What happens next? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? XD Sadly, I don't know. The song ended before I could stick to an ending. What do you think will happen? Please let me know in REVIEW FORM! :D
