Chris Purefoy: Week 3 Response

Point.

She talked fondly about this spot. The spot by the trees, the same trees that she mentions alot. The same spot I've seen over FaceTime like a billion times. The spot that has the old rusty swings to the right of the trees maybe ? I don't really know. I know there are swings just not where they are. Anyway yea she was just telling me a story about it today. These guys were there hanging out and she was confused because no one from the community goes there. Its not the village, or the library, or the track field. It was the abandoned part of town. No one went there cause it was an eye sore. Why stand there and look at something that wasn't visited, cleaned, or taken care of ? Why would someone want to be near a run down place like this when they have such a gorgeous places else where? The rusty swings, the dead grass, I think she mentioned a broken bench or something. But yea you get the point. It wasn't a place people went to. So when she saw the boys there she was confused, and slightly worried. She went on to tell me that they asked her if she had seen their dog. They were looking for a German short snout named "Bartholomew". I immediately knew this was bullshit and they lied just so they had a reason to talk to her. But I let her continue her story before interjecting. Then she told me these two guys, Josh and Bradly Schroden, started making small talk which lead to them conveniently  asking if she had a boyfriend. I knew this was coming but still I let her continue telling me. After she responded with the usual "Yea sorry" shes uttered prolly a thousand times a day. But yea.

Damn she loved this spot. One day I told her to give it a name because she mentioned it so much. We settled for "The Spot". Mad creative right? I could have argued and told her to to pick something else but nah. It was hers. She named it correctly cause it was hers. I was just experiencing it. That's it. To name it myself, well that wouldn't be right. I've never been there. But shes been here, my house. And to my Grandmas house. And to Auntie Gwyn's house. And the park around the corner from our school. Those are the places I love. I loved my house because its my house, my Grandmas house because duh its my Grandmother,i loved Auntie Gwyn's house because of the food and family events we have there. Also because its big as hell. And the park I love because that's where we had our first kiss. But yea shes seen all these places. We spend most of our time at them.  Mainly because these are the few spots outside of school we can chill, but also because they are important to me. I've only been to one. Only been to one place she cares about. Its not because she only loves one place. Its because i can't. For a multitude of reasons. I can't go to Dubai until working at Footlocker makes me enough money to go, I cant go on her Godfathers Yacht, mainly because its November, but also because her Godfather wouldn't let me. I can't go to Rikers Lodge to go skiing because I don't even OWN skis let alone know how to ski. But yea, none of those places.

She loves those places. They hold a special place in her heart. And I remember her telling me that I hold a special place in her heart, She always tells me that she loves me. She planned we go to the same college next year, she named our kids already, and she knows where will be living when we are 60. She loves me and its dope and all. But its hard to think that, maybe some day she will get tired of this. I love her but i cant give her everything she wants or even everything she needs. She has way more than I do, so what could i possibly do for her? I cant even go to her favorite places with her. I am limited. Josh and Bradley aren't. My friend Dashon is. My mom is. Shit Mr. Galleger from history class isn't. Pero I am. But its ok. April will eventually dump me. Its sad yea but its understandable.  Why stand there and look at someone that wasn't rich, educated, or taken care of ? Why would someone want to be in a a run down place like my Grandma's house with me when they could be somewhere nice? Why when they have can have such a  luxurious life else where with some one better? The hopelessness, the negativity, she could at least get a boyfriend that could buy her some flowers or something. But yea you get the point.
