___________________ I didn’t cry during A Walk to Remember, I didn’t lose sleep wondering if Seth and Summer would work out, I didn’t think the fight scene in The Notebook was the most romantic thing I’d ever seen.. but I always thought when a man so perfect on paper was down on one knee in front of you, promising to love you until he took his very last breath there would be some kind of fireworks. There weren’t. There was only the most twisted knot in my stomach I’d ever felt, I remember smiling through it, but only because I didn’t know what else to do. The worst mistake I made was looking up. He must have thought it was special to have our families there. And maybe for anyone else it would have been, but not for me. I could see the tears in my dads eyes from across the room, the tears of a man who was proud of his daughter for the first time in twenty years; and my mom nodding along side him. I said yes, and I cried then. I think they thought I was overjoyed. Why wouldn’t I be? If being the one Walcott de Witte chose didn’t make you the luckiest girl in the world, then what would? _____ wallie de witte the things i hate about her: how well she plays the victim and nothing is ever her fault, how her hands are always in her hair, how many selfies she posts on Instagram, that she doesn’t try harder for her family, how she genuinely thinks she has it rough, that she wears the highest heels in the closet and complains about how bad her feet hurt all night, how i know she’s not in love with me, how i have to remind her to wear her ring six out of seven days a week, how she’s a busy body and can’t just sit down and do nothing for a minute. the things i love about her: how well she compliments me, how she still thinks making prank phone calls is fun, how she laughs at her own jokes, how she doesn’t need me or anyone else, how she tries so hard to act like she’s any different now than she was her freshman year, how she stomps her feet when she doesn’t her way without even realizing it, how she looks first thing in the morning, how she says she wasn’t meant to be a stay at home wife but kills the whole laundry, cooking and cleaning game, how she can go from prim and proper to the scariest, sexiest girl i’ve ever met in a matter of seconds. the things i hate about her that make me love her: how she’s so tiny but manages to take up the whole bed, how she answers questions with questions, how she’s a one way street.
