Do you believe in love at first sight? I don't.
But I won't forget the day I met Casey. Two years and five months later - our second
anniversary I'm getting nervous. I've been planning this
day for a long time. Here's what happened.
We met in college. HARTDESS class. She was perfect - pretty, intelligent, seemed
to like me back. In just a week, we instantly hit it off.
Do you know that feeling when the whole universe seems to be working together just for you?
But something always gets in the way. (Dad) I don't approve of him.
But it's not a problem - because when something isn't allowed, people just crave them all
the more. A few months quickly slipped by. Texting every
night, movies on weekends. Everything was perfect.
Hi Casey. I'm Nick. My dad's a friend of your dad's.
Such a cruel world, isn't it? Can I have your number?
What a ***. I have a boyfriend.
In your face! Oh, hi bro. Will.
I wasn't going to let anyone take her from me. She's my Casey. I'd do anything for her.
I'll never forgive that guy for what happened next.
So that's why your grades have been suffering. Casey, I only want what's best for you.
That boy is not good enough. Why? Is it my fault that I'm not very smart?
Is it my fault I come from a simple family? What did I do to deserve this?
But she's my Casey. I'd do everything I can for her...
Everything. Let's run away! Where do you want to go? Name
it! Any place. But... your dad.
You mean my jerk of a dad? I don't care what he thinks. Do you?
How could I not? I couldn't get what her dad said out of my head.
But you know what really hurt? It's that everything he said was true.
I can't. I'm sorry. What? If this is about what dad said, please.
He can shout at me all he wants, I don't care. Nothing would change.
We're still young. You should enjoy college while you're still here.
And you're sure to meet someone new along the way.
So... you're saying? You deserve the best, Casey.
I'm sorry I can't be that guy for you.
