I will be loved! (BWWM)

Chapter Ten

Ben's Prov:

I finally find a girl who I wanted to be with, and she doesn't want to be with me. Well she does, but she can't let go of her ex. I knew there was a reason I didn't like the guy. I mean besides the obvious reasons of him being the girls I like ex. I knew that there was something more going on there.

It had been five days since I have talked to Danielle and it was killing me. I wasn't use to being dependent on a girl. I was use to being with a girl and then being able to just ditch her, or us going on are separate ways. I never got attached to girls, but with Danielle it was different. I felt an intense attraction to her right away.

I guess what attracted me to her most was she wasn't like other girls. It wasn't just about her being curvy, it was about how she carried herself. I remember the first time I had ever saw her. It as the first day of the school year and she was walking around with a girl who was curvy just like her.

They were waking around and laughing with one another. I was so captivated by her smile that I found myself smiling. I couldn't tare my eyes away from her, and found myself kinda following her around. I didn't want to be creepy, but I couldn't help but want to see her more. My friends thought that I was just in the mood for walking around so they followed me trying to check out the new freshmen girls, thinking that's what I was doing again as well.

It took me forever just to get the nerve to go and talk to her. I tried countless times but always backed out. It bugged me that I was so afraid to talk to her. I'm ashamed to say that I was a huge player. Which meant I could talk to countless girls and never get nervous. But with Danielle it was a totally different scenario. I couldn't even walk up to her and say two words. So instead of talking to her, I talker to her best friend. I had always see them around together, so I figured they were close.
And after that the rest is history. She ended up coming yo my party, and I needed up asking her out. It was weird to think that, that was only a few weeks ago. That I had gotten this attached so quickly.

This whole week I had been trying to get over her. I avoided being anywhere were I knew she was going to be. I went out with my buddies to parties. And I tried talking to other girls. But noting I did seemed to help me get my mind off of Danielle. She consumed my every thought and was all I could ever think about. Everything I did was off now because of her. And I didn't know how to make things right again.

"Hey man were going to go get something to eat, do you want to come?" My best friend Joey asked me as he walked into the room. I looked up at him and shock my head.

"Nah bro I'm gonna stay here and study or something." Joeys eyes went wide at my statement.

"Dude who are you, and what have you done to my best friend?" Joey jokingly asked as me as he sat down on my bed next to me. I gave him a small smile and shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't know man, I'm just off lately."

"What you mean to say is a beautiful girl has your mind all wrapped up." I couldn't help but nod my head at his words.

"Yes basically."

"Dude your Ben Barnes. You use to be a ladies man. A take charge kind of guy. So stop mopping and go get the girl you want." Joey explained to me.

"Joey she's still into her ex. How am I going to compete with that? They have history, he was her first everything. We've only know each other for a few weeks now." Joey shock his head a my words.

"Man it's like my grandfather use to say. You can be with someone for years and not truly love them. But you can meet someone and only know them for a short while, and know they are right for you. If you truly like Danielle like I think you do then go after her man. Fight for her, so what if she has someone else in the picture. Prove to her that your the better choice."
