Which is whenever Dean has say over the music He’s Mr Guitar Rock It’s a bit much for me—how can anyone who did this much heroin be this miserable?—but it’s better than Walker with the metal

Only I’ to stroll into Inked Hearts Tuesday and torture Ryan (and Brendon, if I’m really lucky) with my favorite pop-punk albums

He isn’t going to teaseI know that song was popular when you were in uy is begging his ex-girlfriend to fuck him like it’s an insult It’s pathetic Does he really think that lowly of his sexual abilities?

I’ about how he should understand howBecause isn’t he?

Because he is

He’s the guy in the song who can’t get out of his oay

And I’ about how I always knew he’d end up my ex-boyfriend

The song fades into a commercial for the local Honda dealer

Dean turns to me Shakes his head with disapproval

“What?”

He shrugs like he isn’t judging me with his eyes

Finally, the light turns green

Dean taps the gas Drives slightly faster than a snail

“Maybe you should drive slower So you can be sure I ht,” I say

“You know I could be getting laid right now” He blows air up fro his messy hair from his eyes
