Two Word Challenge (Past) 
Fifteen Minutes

For all of that long ago spring, I tried to get your attention. You had someone else, hardly paid me any mind. Older than me by a few years, I seemed to be invisible. It hurt to even breathe.

Then came my chance; she broke up with you. You and I were at the same party; you looked so sad. There I was, ready to be your new 'only', even though you were drunk. I'd take you any way I could get you. To this day I can't believe how dumb I was.

I found you sitting in the corner, bottle in hand. Bolder than I'd ever been before, I sat on your lap, and took a swig from the bottle, grimacing as I did. I didn't like whiskey but I sure loved you. Because you let me, I thought I'd be with you and kissed your drunken lips.

You gave me a sad smile and put your arms round me, kissing me back. Feeling smug, I pulled you closer. I knew this time you'd be mine. We sat that way without talking, just drinking and making out for all of fifteen minutes. Till you said to me, "I love you, Kelly."

My world spun out of control. My name isn't Kelly. That's the name of the girl that dumped you. I crawled out of your lap, vomited in the grass and got a friend to drive me home. Those fifteen minutes would stay in my memory as fifteen of the worst of my life.
