Description: Drew confronts (Y/N) in hopes to clear the tension between them.

"Drew?" I asked, my eyes becoming wide at the beautiful boy in front of me.

"Can I come in?" Drew asked after a moment of hesitation, a look of both anticipation and seriousness on his face.

I nodded, stepping back and opening the trailer door a little wider so he could come in.

Drew took a deep breath as he stepped into the trailer, his tall figure now hovering over mine, creating a shadow on my confused face.

"What are you doing here?" I questioned, wanting to cut to the chase as I was exhausted from today's events.

"I feel like there's some unresolved tension between us, and I just want to clear things up. I don't like feeling like there's something off between us," he explained, his blue eyes looking directly into mine.

"I don't like it either," I responded, eager to discover what he had to say.

"Look, I didn't mean to hurt you. I honestly didn't think you even felt that way about me. I should've handled the whole thing differently, but after everything that has happened, I feel some clarity about my feelings," he revealed.

His statement only confused me even more. I thought I made it quite obvious how I felt about him and he seemed to just brush it off without a care in the world.

"Okay, so what are your feelings? Because you definitely seemed to not give a shit about mine," I retorted. He flinched at my words, seeming to be taken aback at the sudden aggressiveness.

"I've always cared about your feelings, (Y/N). I seriously didn't know the depth of your feelings towards me. And when I saw you with that guy, I figured you were over whatever feelings you were harboring towards me. So I started talking to that girl, and then you went off on me. This whole situation has been just as confusing for me as it has for you, but you keep dismissing my feelings in all of this." He snapped back at me.

His words hit me hard, and I felt a mixture of anger and frustration boiling within me, lacing itself with the blood that coursed through my veins and taking over my emotions.

"How can you say that?? All I've done this entire time is think about you and your feelings and you've been letting me suffer this entire time! You won't tell me how you feel and you keep messing with my head! What was all that during the scene we filmed today? You only tell me how you feel when it's not actually you speaking, and I'm tired of playing these guessing games! I can't take it anymore, so if you're just going to mess with my head even more, then feel free to leave!" I yelled at him, my sudden outburst causing his eyes to widen. I began to walk back towards the couch, growing more exhausted from all the emotions with each passing second.

"I don't know how to deal with the feelings I feel towards you!" He exclaimed, those words made me stop in my tracks. I turned around to face him, studying his face in anticipation of what he was going to say next. "It scares me how strong my feelings for you are. I keep trying to ignore it, but I keep hurting you in the process. The last relationship I was in ended badly, and I don't want that to happen with you. That's why I kept pushing it away, that's why I only let my true feelings out when we film, and that's why I seem distant. I'm sorry."

I couldn't believe he was finally admitting his feelings for me. He was right, he should've handled it differently. It would've made my life a whole lot easier.

"Why couldn't you just tell me that? That would've been a lot easier than playing those games with you. But instead you chose to mess with my feelings and continuously hurt me. How was that better than just telling me?" I asked him, not letting him off the hook that easily.

"Because I didn't know what I wanted until you were pushing me away. I never was interested in that girl from the bar. If anything, she made me realize that I didn't want to be kissing anyone but you," he said, his cheesy words making it hard to stay mad at him, but I was determined to stand my ground.

"So you didn't want me when were friends with benefits but you wanted me after I started ignoring you. Perfect." I responded sarcastically.

"No, it's not like that," he started, rubbing his face with his hands in frustration. "I wanted you from the start, I just handled the situation badly, and for that I am truly sorry. If you'd let me, I'd like to start over and be honest with my feelings for from here on out." He stepped closer to me, taking my hand in his.

I looked between both of his eyes, trying to comprehend what he was proposing. Do I want to start over with Drew, or has too much happened between us for us to be able to start fresh?

"Do you really think we can start over?" I asked him, genuine concern apparent on my face.

He gave a soft smile as he said, "yes, I really do, if you'd let me." He gave my hand a squeeze and started rubbing the top of my hand with his thumb, showing genuine affection.

I let out a sigh, my mind racing thinking about what I should say next. This is all I ever wanted him to say.

"Okay, fine. But if you start playing games again, we're done for good," I warned him.

"Trust me, that will never happen again," he said seriously.

"Okay, so what do we do now?" I asked.

"Wanna get drunk on that bottle of wine and watch movies?" He questioned.

I laughed at his suggestion before nodding my head. "That sounds perfect," I answered, wrapping my arms around his neck as he leaned in for a kiss.

He picked me up bridal style and threw us both on the couch, my laughter echoing through the small trailer as he did so.

In that moment, everything that happened between us, all the hurt and angst and confusion, became worth it. I knew then that everything really does happen for a reason.
