static in the background

She stood there feeling uncomfortable to be herself as he talked to yet another person that recognized them from high school. Another random guy whose name she didn't remember started talking to her boyfriend and as usual she faded into the background. He talked on, laughing over some last minute remark and she just stared around at the lights lighting an obelisk-like structure which water was smoothly flowing down the side of.1

It's amazing. She was out of highschool for at least 2 years now and it seemed like nothing ever changed except her relationship status.2

"Honey.?" he said with the smile on his face threatening to disappear.3

"Yeah?" she said turning to look at him.4

She realized the guy he was talking to had waved at both of them as he turned and left with some girl beside him.5

"What's wrong?" her boyfriend asked looking concerned.6

His blue eyes bunched up with curiousity. 7

"Nothing." she said as was her usual response.8

It was always total, complete bullshit.9

"Honey.." he said knowing better.10

"It's just, I don't know, I guess I feel like, no one ever really notices me you know?" she said feeling hopelessly stupid.11

"That's not true. I notice you." he said smirking.12

"Well, duh, we've known each other for how long now? 3 years? So, yeah. And we were the minorities at our high school so it's no suprise we sided together." she said feeling validated.13

"Honey, I love you. I PAY attention to you. And anyway, people pay attention to you. What about all those sites you're on?" he said trying to lighten the mood.14

"Yeah, some people pay attention and that's every once in a while. Otherwise I'm just background static. I don't feel so special or anywhere near remotely unique. I just don't get it. I feel like, sometimes, you have it all you know? And I'm just, this thing, floating by with all these thoughts and feelings that just aren't as big as yours when it comes down to it. You know all these people everywhere and everyone knows you and I'm just, this girl. And the only reason the people who know you know me, is because of you. So I'm nowhere near remotely useful in the social scene. I feel like I'll never matter." she said shrugging her shoulders and looking down.15

"Baby.." he said lifting her chin up so that he could look into her eyes and make her get the full effect of what he was saying, " shut up. you are well known, you just don't know it. And people value you. You've helped alot of people and some people are just..busy. I'm sorry you feel this way. But I love you and please believe me when I tell you that you DO matter." he said pulling her into him.16

As usual, she breathed him in as she nestled her head into his chest. He placed his head on top of hers since she was so much shorter than him.17

There were too many jokes about it.18

That's what seperated them from normality sometimes. They were different from the world or so it seemed. They could be best friends and lovers. It was never hard for them. They never had to seperate the two. Even when they weren't together. They could never be away from each other for too long. No matter who they were with, they always came back to one another.19

She couldn't figure out why.20

After about 2 minutes of being held, she pulled away from him and as he kissed her quickly on the lips, he held her hand tightly and they walked closely side by side making their way upstairs. 21

She stared at him trying to figure it out.22

She hated her skin sometimes. Sometimes she couldn't stand to be her but it's all she could be.23

He was the one who always cared the most she felt. Outside of her family.24

They sat on benches on the second floor overlooking the mini obelisk fountain structure. just stared. She stared at the water and wondered about the world. It wasn't unlike her. 25

"Babe..?" 26
