"Hey Gwen. It's me....Daniel....Again. You need to listen to me baby. I know I'm an idiot. But we need to take this out... Please."
The recorder hangs up and I pull out another tissue box from under my bed. My mascara is pouring down my face and tears smudge it everywhere.
How could he do this to me. How could my best friend do this to me.
Another bell goes off to the answering machine.
"Hey Gwen.. It's me... Bri... I'm sorry. We need to talk this out. All three of us. But we can't if you don't answer... You can't avoid us forever..."
The bell dings again and I just cry harder.
My dark grey room seems darker and the wind outside my window begins to pick up. It starts to pour and the windows begin to tatter.
The perfect setting for a huge heartbroken girl.
Daniel and my best friend Bri literally kissed last night in front of me. I mean sure we were at a party and we were playing spin the bottle. But I thought that Daniel would never do that with my best friend. The worst part was the flirting after it. They couldn't stop staring at each other.
The thought of last night makes me sick. I just start to cry harder and harder and harder.
Until I didn't have anymore tears left in me.
I just sat there. For who knows how long staring into oblivion. Thinking about how awful my life was going to be without them.
Nothing is going to fix this broken heart I don't think.
Another loud beep from the answering machine comes up.
"Gwen... It's Daniel again... You need to listen to me... It was a mistake... All of if. You have to forgive me... Please.."
All that is left is his heavy breathing. I sit back crying as he hangs up the phone once again.
It just doesn't make any sense. I don't understand. We were in love. And he went and did that. It just isn't right.
It must have been forty minutes that passed before I got the energy to stand up and move to the living room. But even that took too much.
I wanted so desperately to forgive him. But so far he's only called me. Nothing special to make it up to me. Not anything except a lousy phone call about how he's an idiot..which he is.
Right as I plop myself down on the couch the doorbell rings.
Debating on whether or not I should answer the door I start to hear someone sing.
It's Daniel. I'd recognize his voice in a room of a million singers because it's so amazing.
I walk faster to the door to see Daniel soaked from head to toe, rain pouring down on his head. He's holding a teddy bear that reads "I'm Beary sorry" and a beautiful bouquet of roses. He's singing to me. A song for me about how sorry he was and how much I mean to him.
Thats what I had been waiting for. The big moment that proved he was sorry and that he was in love with me.
When he finishes he takes a deep breathe and begins to speak.
"Gwen. I'm an idiot. I must've said it a million times. You got to listen to me when I say this though. What I did was awful. And after that I realized how much more I loved you. That kiss. Meant nothing to me. It means nothing to me. All I got from that kiss was that I knew I had the best girl around. And it wasn't the one I was kissing. Gwen you're beautiful, and smart, and nice, and perfect in every way imaginable. And if I let you get away. I'd be losing out on forever with the one girl who makes me happiest. So please.. Please forgive me." He says.
I didn't notice. But I am in tears. I shake my head yes and hug him tightly not even worrying about the soggy clothes that are on my body.
"Wait.... Gwen.. I need to tell you something else... I love you." He smiles and nods.
That was the first time he had ever said that to me.
I reply, "I love you too." Tears flowing down my face like a waterfall.
Daniel picks me up and turns me around in the rain. He kisses me hard and long.
Finally the world is spinning again. Just because I decided to listen for a change.
Now I have the best boyfriend in the entire world and things couldn't be any better.
