The Decision

"You know it's not going to matter what you do?"
"I know, I just wish I knew what that right thing is exactly."
"There is no right and wrong or good and bad in this world. You can only do what's right for you. If anyone has a problem with that, then they can just go and fuck themselves!"
"But, it's a big decision for my future!"
"Yes, but you can't placate everyone's feelings with your decision."
"I know, but my dad really wants me to go to Yale."
"Harvard has always been your dream; you should follow your dream not your fathers! You got into Harvard so you should go."
"If only it were that easy;dad graduated from Yale. He expects me to follow in his footsteps."
"Your dad has barely been in your life as it is. He divorced your mom and didn't give a fuck about you or even try to get custody of you! Why should you care about what he wants? Your mom says that it's a miracle he even paid for the child support."
"Sure my dad hasn't been around that often, but everyone deserves a second chance. I want to feel closer to my father for once."
"A second chance, he doesn't fucking deserve a second chance! The guy makes tons of money as a lawyer and never gave you the time of day while you were growing up. Fuck him and his money! It's time to face the truth dude, he dumped you and your mom for a family of his own."
"That's not true!"
"Really! Well as I recall he has another son, your older stepbrother, what's his name..."
"Brock! His name is Brock."
"Yeah, what kind of a dumb stupid fucking name is that anyway? He replaced you for a more athletic son. You know what your problem is A, you're too fucking nice and forgiving. You need to stop letting people screw you over. First, it was Melanie, what a bitch. She cheated on you with Allen, your so called friend!"
"Ex-friend, thank you very much; well to be fair, Allen liked her before I started dating her."
"There you go again, with the same nice guy shtick that you have. We've been friends for years A, and you need to stop being so god damn nice all the time!"
"Look G, I know we've been friends for a long time, but I don't have it in me to be a mean person."
"I know, but I'm not done with the list of people who've fucked with you. Where was I? Oh right, second you let that Sydney girl use you while trying to get your stepbrother jealous."
"Hey! Sydney told me upfront that she was going to use me and I don't mind being used for casual sex. Besides she was hot, what guy wouldn't want to bang her brains out."
"Yeah, she was really hot, but you don't have to use a cliche when you're talking about having sex with her. And casual sex! What are you kidding me? That wasn't casual, it was planned and you and I both know that!"
"Look it doesn't matter anymore, it's in the past."
"Yeah a past, that you can never escape. It's time you stop doing shit for other people and focus on yourself."
"I know, you're right, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to do that."
"Yeah, I don't think you'll ever be able to do that either. You've always been that caring type of person. But you could start by going to Harvard."
"Fine, but I'm not breaking the news to dad."
"Well, than I'll do it for you. If that motherfucker still doesn't understand, I'll make him understand."
"Don't do anything too harsh!"'
"I won't, but wait I never finished the list of people who screwed you over."
"Fuck it, we both know listing it out will take a lifetime!"
"Yeah, you're right."

  1. I like the theme of your story. I have a friend that totally fits your character of the person that forgives to easily.When I was growing up I thought that rich people didn't have any type of issues but then later on I learned that they also have huge issues like every other normal family.

  2. Thanks, I honestly didn't know where I was going with the story until I started writing it. Yeah,I believe every family whether rich or poor all has problems and issues they need to deal with.

    P.S. I wish I could comment on your blog, but I don't know how to comment on tumblr, but i was able to comment on another class's blog that has the same site so that's really weird.
