ooc|| Note: this is loosely based on the Boys Like Girls song "Two Is Better Than One" Featuring Taylor Swift. It does not include Maxxie, unfortunately, but I'm hoping you all will be pleased with it. I appologize beforehand for the length! ^^
We didn’t quite know where we were going; when I asked if you had any place in mind, you said no. We just drove for hours down the highway, not paying attention to exits or any other signs that would tell us where we were headed. Neither of us cared, as long as we could be alone together. We talked about when we first met in the sixth grade, and how you couldn’t stand me up until Sophomore year; though after constant begging you finally agreed to one date that would lead up to many more.
We pulled into a little abandoned field where the grass had been neglected and grew tall as the light breeze tousled it about. Wildflowers and weeds popped up every couple of feet, created bright colored blemishes in the green ocean that was about knee-high. I watched as you lowered yourself to the ground, lying down. It was barely nine, so I knew it wasn’t because of the time.
The whole thought of you leaving as an exhausting one. I mean, we could always keep in touch…but dating was pointless. You’d be on the other side of the country, and I didn’t want to tie down your free spirit and wild heart. You deserved to find love that wouldn’t be hard to maintain. I think I owe that to you for dedicating three years of your life to me.
I hadn’t seen this coming. It was almost like I was hit with a ton of bricks and knocked clean off my feet. California? Unreal. I had wanted to attend UCLA for years now, never thinking that I’d actually make the cut, on a scholarship no less. It was the chance of a lifetime that I’d been expected to take. As usual, I did what everyone expected of me and because of this I was about to lose the love of my life.
Sitting there in the darkness, in the utter silence, was almost surreal. I was thinking that this was all some bizarre dream that I would wake up from, but no. It was real, unfortunately. Tomorrow I’d be hopping on a plane, we would say our goodbyes and that was it. Nothing would ever be the same.
I glanced up at the moon. It was a perfect curved fingernail in the sky. It seemed haunting as it was surrounded by the utter blackness of space. Stars kept it company, but we all knew that those tiny projections of light were billions of light years apart and the moon really stood alone.
That would be me. Standing alone. I couldn’t go on without you; you were the stars in my sky, the light in my day and the colors in my sunset. You were perfect in every aspect of the word. I loved you.
I felt my whole body jerk upright as the roar of an engine echoed from the distance. If you squinted and looked ahead, you could see an underpass that connected to the highway that we came from. I was going to go crazy. Every twitch of the night sounded like an orchestra of noise in my mind. Did you really have that much of an effect on me? Stupid girls…
I smirked lightly at that thought. I remembered when I really used to think girls were stupid, strange, cootie-infested aliens that should be avoided…up until fifth grade. Heh.
Our first encounter hadn’t been exactly romantic; we met on the school bus, and being the perverted sixth grade boy I had been I grabbed your ass and you swung around, your fist meeting with my jaw. Then I saw your fuming expression, and even as you stood boiling in the principal’s office I thought you were beautiful. I was smitten.
Even when I had landed in the hospital on prom night you stood by me, not caring if you missed your big night or not. You looked stunning in your powder-blue gown, which complimented your blonde hair and porcelain skin nicely. You sat beside me all night, even though you had been angry with me earlier for not showing up at your doorstep. But I forgave you for hating me for that amount of time; you hadn’t known that my car was hit by some drunk speeding down the road.
Something about you always made me feel alive…it may sound cliché but it’s the truth.
Did I ever tell you how much I cared for you?
Probably not.
I was never one to wear my heart on my sleeve. I hid my emotions deep down, burying them until most thought that I had none at all. You knew what I was feeling, though. You always knew if I was disappointed or angry or elated. Hell, most of the times you were the one to completely brighten my mood. I don’t know how I’ll live without you…it’ll be a challenge. With me in California at UCLA and you in Rhode Island at Brown, we’d never be able to be together
Ever since I heard the news of my acceptance, I had been second-guessing myself. I have so much time to figure out what I’ll do with my life, maybe we could just hold off for another year. In the back of my mind, however, I knew that we couldn’t do that. My scholarship wouldn’t hold for that long and I could never ask you to give up going to Brown. I know that had been your goal for a very long time and it was unfair of me to take that away.
I guess I’ll just have to get used to being half instead of whole.
“I love you,” I said, laying beside her and brushing some hair away from her face.
I smiled lightly at his words before nodding lightly. “I love you, too.”
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
“Hey, you know this could be something…”
‘Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I’m left with nothing…

‘Cause maybe it’s true
That I can’t live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There’s so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you’ve already got me coming undone
And I’m thinking two is better than one…

I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You know you make it hard for breathing
‘Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything’s okay
I’m finally now believing…

Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you thought that it got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I'll figure it out
When it's all said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one.
