"But I still fuckin' love you, babe"

Daniel Clost:
Ballet Dancer

I wasn't happy that David and Steph were so close. It really hurt me. She knew I liked him. So why did she kiss him?

They walked in hand in hand. I felt sick. I couldn't believe that she would do that to me. I really thought that she would let me have him. I mean I haven't come out yet but it doesn't matter.

"You two are together?" Emily asked them.

"Mhm." Stephanie nodded and kissed his cheek. I rolled my eyes.

As we danced, I just couldn't. I have never been this sad before that it's effected my dancing. I never let anything get in the way of dance.

"Daniel!" Miss Kate shouted and gestured for me to come to her office. Stephanie looked confused as she watched me slowly enter with a frown.

"Daniel, what's going on? You need to pick up your game. Regionals is so close. We can not have you messing up this routine and your solo is on the line." She said grinding her teeth. I frowned and left.

We went home so I went to the bar. Hopefully I would meet someone there. I walked in and sat down. The bar tender was low-key hot as fuck.

"What would you like?" He asked me smiling and leaning on the table. I smiled.

"Um, Vodka?" I said. He nodded and poured me some. I couldn't help but stare at him. Like in love.

"Here you go." He said. I gave a fiver on the table. I took a sip.

"So you got a boyfriend?" He asked me. I choked. I took the glass away from my mouth and cleared my throat.

"B-boyfriend? Why would you think I'm gay?" I asked. He chuckled.

"No offence but your voice." He said. He swung his jacket on his shoulder and messed with his hair. I blushed.

"Names Ethan by the way," He said.

"I'm Daniel." I said smiling. He smiled at me.

"So, why are you here?" He asked me wiping the table.

"I just really need someone I guess." I said looking into his green eyes.

"Okay, I'll be that person." He said climbing over the table and sitting in front of me. He kissed me. I did kiss back but nothing felt good. I just wished it was David who was kissing me. But no, he kisses Stephanie. She's just a girl who's in her best friends shadow and will never be loved because she's a slut who only cares about herself and never her friends!

I went home eventually after my time with Ethan. We exchanged numbers and well I was happy but not as happy as I used to be. I am a closeted gay person so this is hard.
