Homecoming 2012

[Wyatt Parks]

Wyatt didn’t really care if he won king or not, but most boys didn’t. Of course he’d be happy if he did because Carol was clearly going to be queen. It felt kind of stupid to him to be nominate, since he’d been nominated last time, and didn’t win either, but he didn’t tell her that. Carol had made him match with her, and he didn’t mind that. When he wheeled her into the gym he was surprised when she said she wanted to turn around and leave and he almost told her they would. He didn’t want her to regret it though, and after thinking about it, instead of just saying what he wanted to say, he decided that he was going to at least try and convince her to stay. She was clearly going to be queen, so that was a reason to not leave.

“If you want….” That was a great way to start out with what he was trying to say, “I mean, you don’t look like an idiot, I mean you look great… So what if you can’t walk, just…”Where was he even going with this, “You shouldn’t leave, I’m not going to stop you if you do, I’m only here for you, and you’re probably going to win queen, and even if you don’t then you’re my queen,” He said with a wink, which probably looked stupid because of the position he was in leaning over to talk to her like that.

“Listen I love you, and you should probably stay, it doesn’t matter if you can’t walk…” This was not turning out to be a very motivational speech so far it just sounded like him rambling, “Fat chicks look stupid in those whoreish dresses, but they still have fun, Esme is pregnant, and she’s still having fun here, no one wants to wear a tie because they choke you sometimes, but all the guys still have fun here, look the point is that it doesn’t matter if you think you look stupid, just have fun,” That was a little better, even if he was insulting people. He kissed her on the forehead, “Just relax babe, it’ll be fine.”

Carol couldn't help but smile that him. He was just so precious. Even though he never was very good at pep talks or really anything that had to do with speaking, he tried. And he knew how to make her feel better, even if it was just by him being an idiot.
"I love you, too. Now...help me up. If we're staying, we're having fun." She wheeled herself over to a table to leave her chair, and then hobbled her way (with his help of course) onto the dance floor.

It was a slow song, so all they really did was sway like the rest of the couples and she started to feel herself calm down a bit. What did it matter if she looked stupid? She had the hottest guy in the junior class on her arm, and as far as she knew, people were already acting as if she were an actual queen. You'd think she was stabbed by a drunk hobo and not just in a car accident.
"Thanks for being so supportive, babe. About everything. I don't know what I would have done without you in the hospital. I mean...yeah, we've had our problems, but you're my rock, babe. I'm like the luckiest girl world to have you."
She leaned up and kissed him, and then rested her head on his chest while they danced. She didn't even care if she won or not. She was already a princess when she was with Wyatt, just by the way he made her feel. She didn't need some stupid plastic crown to show it off.

Well at least she didn’t think that sounded as stupid as I thought it did.

He was pretty sure it sounded stupid coming from his mouth, but as long as it helped in some weird way. It had a point to it, even though it took a while for him to get there. Honestly he wasn’t sure he was glad he’d said that because he wanted to leave, but he was pretty sure she’d regret not staying here, especially if she won queen.

“Well if I wasn’t there… What you have done without your perfect boyfriend?” He grinned, and winked at her, although he was trying to make it sound like he wasn’t into all the mushy stuff, he really had been worried when she was in the hospital, and he probably cared too much about her.

“You know you don’t need to thank me for that,” he whispered. “Just don’t scare me like that again,” he said, “because I don’t know what I would do without you.” He meant it. It was weird how he’d forgotten what I’d been like without her around. She just made things so much better, no matter how many times he fucked up, and did stupid things, and made himself seem like he wasn’t worthy of her, they always worked it out. He didn’t want to lose her, ever.
