Rocker Drama part 2

So understandibly, life with Rocker was a wee bit akward. Everyones had that friend that always playfully hits on them, but deep down you know they aren't kidding. I knew deep down he wasn't kidding.

When I was finally done with highschool, the real drama began. The Guys started to pick up on it and started to exploit the situation, making it akward and making me the butt end of many jokes. Whenever someone made a dirty joke and mentioned me, the next thing said would be "What are you, Rocker?". Now, I could deal with being joked at, and by now I was so used to Rockers pursuits that I could deal with them too. What I couldn't deal with? The fact that after almost 2 years of knowing him, I found out he'd had a girlfriend the whole time.

Do you ever step in gum, and when its attached to the bottom of your shoe it picks up all that scummy, dirty gross stuff? To me, cheaters are worst than that stuff. They are lower and more disgusting then stuff you pull out of bathtub drains. Anyone who could treat someone they love(d) that way, whether current or not, doesn't deserve an ounce of sympathy in my books. I realise there are often special circumstances, but this was not one of them.

So for 2 years, Rocker had been dating a girl lets call Stacy. How had I not known? Well, in my defence, he obviously never mentioned her, and he never brought her out to any parties, never introduced her to anyone. They had been on and off for about 2 and a half years, and the Guys had only met her once or twice, if at all. This was the last straw for me, espcially when he found out I knew, and whenever she called, he talked to her like she was dirt. I had no idea why she took this kind of treatment, but I had never met the girl and it wasn't really my place to inform her of his constant cheating (not with me but with others). Who was I to act self-righteous and ruin this girls life?

The beginning of the end started really about Valentines day. Rocker had switched tactics and stopped hitting on me outright, and tried for the friend angle. I knew something was up for Valentines because he kept asking me my address at college. I refused to tell him and told him to please not get me anything.

Valentines day arrived. That night about 7pm, I get a call to come down to the front desk, theres a package for me. dreading the worst couldn't have even prepared me for what I saw. I rounded the desk and opened my mouth to ask for my package when I saw it. It was hard to miss, seeing as Rocker was standing beside it. Rocker was leaning up against the wall, swinging a 4ft long box from his thumb and middle finger.

Now, only two things come in these boxes. A gun, or Flowers. I was personally hoping for a gun, but when I opened it, I found a dozen long stemmed de-thorned red roses. $68.00 worth of long stemmed de-thorned roses I found out later. I was shocked. Everyone was starring at me. Even the front desk people were looking at me expectantly. Rocker came up beside me.

"Will you go on a date with me now?" He asked.

I was thinking fast. I had no feelings for the guy, but he drove 45 mins out of his way to hand deliver me this box of fantastic flowers. And they were fantastic, let me tell you. They practically glowed in all their glorious smell. I sighed, 'No' obviously wasn't in his vocabulary anymore, so I answered "I'll let you buy me a coffee, let me go change." And I did. And he did. And it was just like any other time I had a coffee with him, just normal. And despite myself, everytime I saw the flowers, I smiled.

It was basically downhill from that.

The end came when I told him I would never date someone who still had a girlfriend, it was against what I believed in. His response? He broke it off with both his Girlfriend and his mistress to impress me. It didn't, and I think that was the final straw for him.

He started to get really bitter and angry right before my birthday. Of all the Guys, he would be the only one to really remeber my birthday/ bother to do anything for it. But he stopped speaking to me the weekend before. I told him to accept that we would only ever be friends, and he replied, "Fine, just friends." I remeber that, because thats the last thing he ever said to me.
