Cick on this link to listen to The Death of Girl Number Two by Say Hi to Your Mom. The following story was inspired by this song and is part of series of stories all inspired by a mixtape somebody made for a friend of mine.
Anthony had always had trouble sleeping. He probably would sleep two hours a night at most. Which was good because he was in medical school and most everybody else was overwhelmed with work. But he had an extra six to eight hours a night so even with all his school work he still had an astronomical amount of hobbies. He said you had to have some hobbies to avoid going insane if you don’t sleep all that much... He would draw, put puzzles together, organize his baseball cards, knit, anything you can think of he had done a little bit of. He was pretty good at most everything he tried.
Lately, he had gotten into the habit of drawing me while I slept. I would wake up with no covers on me. Anthony would pull them off so he could see me better. It was kind of cool to think that he spent the whole night watching over me. But the thing I didn’t like about it is after a while the drawings didn’t match me exactly. At first it was just little things like he would change the eye color, or make the breasts a little bigger or smaller. Then he started drawing me when I was nineteen, and then like thirty five, one time he drew me as a sixty five year old women, and I was okay with that because it was me. But after a while, I didn’t feel like he was drawing me anymore, he would pick things that he knew I was insecure about and either exaggerate them, or make them perfect.
