Not So Perfect
Chapter Four: Chauffeur
Red light.
Damn, it seems that I've been getting all the red lights. I impatiently tap on the steering wheel.
"This is the last time I'm giving you and your girl a ride Tennyson." I glare at the brown hair boy.
"That's what you said last time, Levin." He taunts.
"Fuck you." I focus my eyes on the road.
"Green light." He points out. I speed off towards Julie's house. I stomp on the brake once we reach the front of her house. I honk the horn loudly. After several minutes, she doesn't come. I honk again. Still no Julie.
"Tell your girl to hurry up or we'll leaving." Ben pulls out his phone.
"Hey Jules... We're outside... Uh huh... Sure... I'll try... Yeah... Okay... See you in a few minutes." He stuffs the phone back into her pocket.
"What's taking her so long?"
"She's on the phone with Gwen." I tighten my grip on the wheel. "You could talk to her you know."
"Why would I do that?"
"Because you miss her and made a mistake." He says casually.
"I don't miss her." That was a lie. I missed everything about her: her hair, her eyes, and the way she always argued with me. I also miss letting her win. I miss seeing her face and hearing her voice. I miss flirting with her. I miss feeling her warm touch. I miss how she makes me feel. I even miss acting like an idiot around her. I do regret leaving her alone, but she deserves better than me.
"That's bull shit and you know it." I see Julie open her front door.
"Look Kevin, just go apologize. You like her, no, you love her."
"Shut the fuck up!" I yell at him. "You don't know anything!" He glares at me.
"Whatever." He glares turns into a smile as Julie gets into the backseat.
"Hello guys!" She's mighty chipper. Well, that's Julie for you. I've gotten to know her better and she's pretty cool. Why she'd date a smartass like Ben, I don't know.
"Did you ask him?" She asked Ben.
"Yep." He said rather bitterly. I turn the knob for the volume louder. I'm not in the mood to hear them talking.
After their date, I take Julie back home. Ben and I remain in the car when we see Julie get approached by a familiar blonde kid. She hugs him and they start talking until he goes with her inside her house.
"God, I hate that guy," Ben says. I wonder why?
"You're the best boyfriend in the world you know that?"
"I really hate that guy." He says ignoring my sarcasm.
"That's Kyle Montag isn't it?"
"Yeah." He said with ice in his voice.
"He goes to Bellewood Academy." Gwen's school. I know who he is. I hate him too.
"Yeah."
"Why do you hate him?" He looks me in the eye.
"He likes Julie." I'm about to laugh, but I keep my composure.
"Does he know?"
"Yeah, at least he liked her. Now he apparent likes Gwen." I glare daggers towards the close door.
"Let's leave." Ben suggested. I gladly get out of Julie's neighborhood.
"He asked Gwen out, you know." I feel the car speed up.
"WHOA! Slow down!" Ben yells. I stomp quickly making our bodies fly forward before getting pulled back by the seat belts.
"What the hell Kevin? Not cool."
"He can't go out with Gwen."
"Don't worry, she said no."
"She'd better have, she can't date anyone!" Only me, not wait. You know you can't date her; you'll only ruin her life more.
"You know she said no because she's pregnant, but I'm pretty sure that's the only reason." He implied.
"Why are you saying?"
"You know what I'm saying."
"No, I don't. Enlighten me." I'm challenging him.
"You know exactly what I'm saying." I narrow my eyes.
"If Gwen had the chance, she would date Kyle."
"What makes you think that?"
"She's tired of waiting for you so if she had the chance with another guy, she'd take it." I step on the gas.
"Like hell she would."
"She would." I try my hardest not to kill him right there.
I sit on top of her roof. I've been doing everyday for a month now. I'd stay for an hour or two and just watch and listen to her. Luckily she hasn't caught on. Most of the time, I just hear her snoring in her sleep. Sometimes she'd be studying. Sometimes she'd talk to herself.
But tonight, she was singing. Her lights were off and her stereo played softly. She was singing herself. She wasn't the best singer, but her voice... it was beautiful. It's so soft and soothing.
"Once upon a time
I believe it was a Tuesday
When I caught your eye
We caught onto something
I hold onto the night
You looked me in the eye
And told me you loved me"
That night. That Friday night when we made love. I can remember asking her if she wanted it. She smiled and said yes. Three words came out of my mouth that I never thought would,
'I love you.'
And when she asked me how long I would love her.
'Forever and Always.'
"Were you just kidding?
Cause it seems to me
This thing is breaking down
We almost never speak
I don't feel welcome anymore
Baby what happened
Please tell me cause one second it was perfect
Now you're halfway out the door"
It was perfect, but I ran away. Shit, why is this lame song getting to me?
"And I stare, at the phone
He still, hasn't called
And you feel so low you can't feel, nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said
Forever and always
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
Cause I was there when you said
Forever and always
Was I out of line? Did I say something way to honest?
Did you run and hide like a scared little boy?
I looked into your eyes, thought I knew you for a minute
Now I'm not so sure"
She never said anything wrong, but I still ran away. I am scared... FUCK!!! I hate this song.
"So here's to everything
Coming down to nothing
Here's to silence
That cuts me to the core
Where is this going?
Thought I knew for a minute but I don't anymore
And I stare, at the phone
He still, hasn't called
And you feel so low you can't feel, nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said
Forever and always
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
Cause I was there when you said
Forever and always
Didn't mean it baby?
I don't think so
Back off, baby back off
Did you forget everything?
Back up, baby back up
Did you forget everything?"
That's it! I can't listen to this song anymore. Does she know I'm here or something? Is she sending me a message? No, Kevin, stop being paranoid. Just... I'm going to make it right. I'm about to burst into her room and confess everything and apologize. I hold back. I realize that may not be the best approach. I jump off her roof and stare at the window.
"I'm going fix it, Gwen, and I'm going to win you back. I'm going make it so I deserve you." I said a loud to myself. I head out to my car.
I know what the first thing I have to do is, and I know I'm not going to like it.
End of Chapter Four!
YAY!! I can copy off my notebook now then just making it up! Yes! But this chapter was easy to write. It only took me a few hours. Yes! So happy. Oh, that song was Forever and Always by Taylor Swift. Peace.
