Begin Again Point Of View

Authors Note: Don’t get me wrong, this is my favorite song at the moment, and I love it, but I thought it would just be fun a write a creative piece for it because, well... It seemed interesting.

Took a deep breath in the mirror. He didn't like it when I wore high heels. But I do. Turn the lock. and put my headphones on. He always said he didn't get this song. But I do, I do.

Walked in expecting you'd be late. But you got here early and you stand and wave. I walk to you
You pull my chair out and help me in. And you don't know how nice that is. But I do

And you throw your head back laughing, like a little kid. I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause, he never did. I've been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does is break, and burn, and end. But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

You said you never met one girl who had as many James Taylor records as you, but I do.
We tell stories and you don't know why, I'm coming off a little shy. But I do

And you throw your head back laughing, like a little kid. I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause, he never did. I've been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does is break, and burn, and end. But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

And we walked down the block, to my car. And I almost brought him up, but you start to talk about the movies that your family watches every single Christmas, And I want to talk about that.
And for the first time, what's past is past

And you throw your head back laughing, like a little kid. I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause, he never did. I've been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does
Is break, and burn, and end. But on a Wednesday in a café. I watched it begin again

Another text from her.

From: Taylor>:(

I have a date with him tonight<3  How are you?

I can’t help it, I laugh. David reads the text over my back.

“Cal, she is honestly insane. If I were you I would put the mental hospital on speed dial, “ I laugh even harder. He was right she was going a little insane, but if I am completely honest with myself, I’m pretty sure she always has been. Even when we were dating. She was clingy, I knew that. But, I think the thing that really drove me over the edge is that she expected a prince charming or something. I never said the right thing, and she was never content with anything I did for her.

“Remember your guys’ little shoe incident? You actually felt bad for her!” He said in a joking tone.

“Bro! She started crying! I had to do something!”

The night the shoe incident went down, was definitely when I started to realize that things between us were never going to work out. I was taking her out to dinner, no where fancy, but it had music and I was planning on dancing. And she walked downstairs really dolled up high heels, mini skirt and all. She looked fantastic, but the heels were a little much. I said, and I quote: “Babe, you look great, but the heels might be a little hard to dance in” and then I added a little dance move, to you know, to spice things up. And when I looked up, she looked like she was going to cry. She had the whole quivering lips, slumped shoulders thing going on. And I had absolutely positively no idea what I had done. I thought she stubbed her toe or something, because there was no way whatever I said could upset her to the point where she started crying.

“Whoa what’s wrong?” I asked walking over to rub her back

“I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID THAT!” She screamed in my face. Her breathe didn’t smell good either. Not one of her finest moments

“Said What!?” I asked a little frustrated

“That you don’t like my shoes! Would it kill you to give me a compliment once in a while!?” I couldn’t believe she was actually saying this. This chick was high maintenance, but I knew if I didn’t make things better now I would definitely regret it tonight.

“You know what!?,” She screamed, “If my shoes are a little hard to ‘Dance In’ then maybe I should go at all! Go home cal! Don’t call me either!!!”

And after that I just walked out the door. I had nothing to say. I felt bad for making her that upset. So I didn’t call her that night. I figured she needed time to think. Instead I took out my phone and texted David. I was done with girls, I needed videogames or something.

To David:

Hey, I’m coming over. Aite?    A’ight?

From David:

What happened to dance night with your lady!?;)

To David:

Let’s just say, never tell a girl to change out of her heels. She takes it personally

From David:

Ouch, smooth Cal. Come over, Macn’Cheese is already on the stove

To David:

That’s what I’m talking about;) be over in five

So I went over for a while, and told David everything that happened. I felt like a total girl when I was telling him my relationship problems but, someone else had to witness how NONE of this was my fault. And after some “soul searching” or whatever girls call it. I decided to call things off between us. When I told her she flipped. She screamed, and yelled, and cried and I had no idea what to do. I knew she wanted me to take her back, and I felt bad that I didn’t, but there is no way this relationship was ever going to work. So I said sorry, and left. Ever since she had gotten into the habit of texting me how in love she is with her recent dates. Sometimes it’s poems, and sometimes its songs. Most of the time David and I mock them, and I have to admit it’s pretty fun.
