DANNYS POV
Macie stares at me with a look of pure disgust before whipping around and running away. Oh god. What did I do? I watch her every moment as she sprints down the block, long brown hair flying behind her. She still loved me and now I've fucked up everything. I just ruined my last chance with the most amazing girl in the world and now she hates me. For sure this time.
"It wasn't her fault..." I cry silently, taking a seat on the edge of the sidewalk. I rub my eyes with my hands and sigh deeply. This is all Drew's fault. Before he came along, everything was perfect, then as soon as he stepped into the picture, my entire world fell to pieces.
Wait, fuck. As much as I hate Drew, I'm also to blame. I accused her of nothing and I wouldn't even allow her to explain herself. This whole time she had no idea what I was mad about and I was acting like such an asshole. I don't know how I'm supposed to fix this one, or if I even can.
I take a few seconds to breathe before wiping my face and standing up. I stick my earbuds back in and blast my music as loud as it can go in an attempt to drown out the sound of all the thoughts echoing throughout my mind. I need to apologize at least.

MACIES POV
That mother fucker! He thinks he can just throw me under the bus like that without even knowing my side of the story? What a jerk!
"Hello?" Teala's soft voice speaks through the phone after she accepts my call.
"I need a hug." I whimper, grabbing my arm with my free hand.
"Aw Macie, I'm coming over right now."
"No, I'll come to your house. I'm almost there anyways." I wipe my nose with my sleeve. I hate crying. It's gross.
"Okay. There's leftover ice cream cake in my freezer and I'm opening Netflix right now."
"Thanks." I giggle. "I'll see you soon. Bye."
"Bye!" The call ends. I text Garret that I'm going to Teala's. A few spots below Garrets messages sit my past text conversations with Danny. I click on them and load a few of the older messages to read.

I dry my eyes and stuff my phone back into my pocket. Guys are such assholes. Or maybe it's just that one. A minute or so passes until I find myself approaching the curvy brick walkway of Teala's small red house. I toddle up the stairs and ring the doorbell.
"I got it!" Teala's voice shouts from inside. The moment the door opens, Teala's arms cling onto me. I hug her tightly and allow more tears to fall from my eyes. "C'mon, let's go to my room." She brings me inside and gently shuts the front door.
Teala keeps her arm around me as she escorts me through the living room and down the hall where a pattern of closed wooden doors cover the walls. She pushes open the last door and let's me go as she closes it and I sit on her bed. Two plates with ice cream cake sit next to an open laptop, already displaying the 'What to Watch' programs on Netflix.
My phone buzzes with a text sending terror coursing through my veins. I swear if Danny tried texting me a half assed apology...
From: GareBear🐻
Kk girl. Ttyl
I sigh with relief at the fact that it was only Garret.
"Where should we start?" Teala sits down next to me and brings her hands up to the keyboard.
"We haven't even picked a show yet?"
"I mean with the Danny drama." I watch as she clicks on The Fault in Our Stars. She hands me a plate as it loads and leans back on the wall. I follow her actions and recline at her side.
"I saw him on the street when I went for a walk and..." I pause when ungovernable sobs fall from my lips.
"Oh Macie." Teala wraps her arm back around me and I lean on her shoulder. "Do you want to go on or is it too soon?"
"No, I'm fine. I can tell you." I wipe my face quickly and divulge the information to her in long detail.
"And then I told him..." I cut myself off. Did I actually tell him that? I'm not sure if it was just something I only said in the moment or if I actually think that, but I don't know how to feel about the fact that he heard me say those words. "I said I hated him."
"So is this it then? You guys are actually done for good?" Teala rubs her hand up and down the side of my arm.
"Ya. I think so." I sigh.
Over the past few months, I've realized that in order to have a successful relationship with someone else, first you need to have a successful relationship with yourself. I've worked so hard on being in control of myself and figuring things out, but I don't think I'm quite ready to try and bring romance into my system. Especially not with an asshole.
"Does Garret know?" Teala attempts a smile. I can't help but smile back at her because she's just one of those people who you always smile back at no matter what.
"Not yet. He's with Sam right now. I'll tell him when I get home."
"Okay."
"Okay." We both laugh at my attempt to quote the movie and settle back down to watch the rest.
Maybe one day I'll find my Augustus Waters. Someone who will always be there for me, someone who will always treat me right, someone who will truly love me.
...
"I should probably go home. It's getting dark out." I tell Teala after checking the time.
"Kk. Are your nails dry?" I lightly tap one of my black polished nails to check.
"Ya. I'll see you tomorrow probably. Bye!" I stand from the floor where we were siting and walk to the door.
"Bye!" Teala waves as I exit her room and tread down the hall, and out the front door. I put on a playlist of songs that I don't normally listen to and keep it at a low volume.
The slow, calm sound of "Is There Somewhere" by Hasley plays into my ears. The meaning of the lyrics brings steams of tears to run down my cheeks. How is it possible that someone I once loved so dearly, someone who I cared for more than myself, someone who was once my everything, could so quickly become nothing to me. The solemn thought of him frustrates me. I wish I could somehow erase him and all the memories from my mind. I wish we still lived in Florida. I wish my parents were still alive. I wish I could just somehow start over.
(A/N: How do you guys think Danny should try to apologize?
Feel free to comment your ideas and pleeeeease vote😁☺️😁😘
