Sometimes Starsky just doesn’t listen.
Written for the LJ me_and_thee_100 comm challenge 16: listen
God, sometimes Starsky just doesn’t listen.
He doesn’t listen when I tell him he drives too fast and too recklessly. He laughs at me when I warn him that the junk he eats is going to make his stomach fall out. He ignores me when I try to save him from those “get rich quick” schemes he’s always falling for.
I’m his partner, aren’t I? Just once, I wish he’d listen to me.
I wish he’d listened when I yelled at him to get down. But he didn’t.
Oh, God, don’t let him die. Help him, please.
If you’re listening.
