loser luvr

my niece fell in love with a loser. i kept trying to get her to see the truth of him. i tried to bribe her away from him with a trip out of the country. she kept saying thank you, i see your point, but i have to go see him in jail now because he got picked up on a DUI last night. i kept saying really? really? she was laughing and patting my arm like it was nothing. i offered her a job on a film i was working on but she said she had to spend the day getting him a public attorney because he didn't have any money. a public attorney? i thought. i reached for my phone to call my lawyer, but i left my hand in my pocket when she told me she'd gone off birth control because he didn't believe in it. she walked me to my car and i asked her if i could at least buy her condoms. she said no.

i wished her luck but i knew we would never be close again.
