There is hope.
I was really hesitant to write this blog, because I didn't want to upset anyone or to look as if I'm "bragging". But this is someone that's really important to me, not just because he's my boyfriend, but because of everything he's been through.
So, his name is Claudio and he's the kind of guy my Mum tells me to stay away from. He started at my school 4 months ago because he was expelled from his last (
), I knew him for about 20 minutes and I knew I liked him. Maybe it was his dredlocks or that he was so loud, but I knew. Turns out he felt the same way. We started "going out" 3 days later. I know, that's very fast but I met his entire family after 2 days of dating. He speaks fluent italian and has skated for 9 years.
He told me in his room when I picked up the tattered baby blue bear off his bed that his Dad died in the 6 week summer holidays, only 2 months ago. He was crushed by a trailor, Claudio was there. You could hear his voice break as he spoke. His stepdad puts him down constantly (I've witnessed it), He's currently living with 9 peope in a 4 bedroom house because his uncle is in prison for possesion of unlicenced weapons and drugs and his cousins are staying with him until he's released. He saved up engough money for a second bass guitar by iceing doughnuts at a bakery, which got me some freebies!
So, he's sort of that super annoying kid that can't pay attention for more than 10 minutes, with great hair and a great tan, living a pretty crap life who's failing everything but music.
But it makes me so happy because I know what that he mean he's mad when he skates at 9:00pm and that I'm staring at 'I heart you' in his biro on the back of my hand. He told me I was what kept him happy after his Dad.
It doesn't matter that he's my boyfriend, I'd be writing it anyway. He's an amazing kid and I've never met anyone like him. He's not the guy I used to sit and wish would just show up and sweep me off my feet.
So ladies (and gentlemen), stop thinking about some guy showing up or convincing yourself that you're not good engough and go bag that boy!
Thankyou so much for sitting there an listening to me babble on about some kid. It means alot to me.
N'aw gemma. that's so sad. D:
but thats great that you're keeping him so happy.
