I Can't Lose You

━━━━━━━━━

"Let's just get everything out on the table." Chase huffed as he tapped his foot against the ground.

"Okay." I said stubbornly as I crossed my arms over my chest. He suddenly got a look of overpowering knowledge on his face. I hated that.

"How many crushes have you had?" He asked, bringing a frown to my face once again.

"What?"

"It's simple, how many crushes have you had since we've gotten into college?" He repeated, going more into the specifics this time around. Good thing he clarified, that could have meant something totally different. I would have had to go into how I had a crush on Adam back in elementary school. That wouldn't be awkward.

"I don't know, Chase." I huffed as I threw my head back. I looked back to see him staring me down. "Four or five." I gave in, feeling completely on the spot in the moment. He nodded, almost seeming like he was holding back on one issue in particular. "How many have you had?" I spit back.

"Two." He said with a sly smile. "Danielle, and you." I bit into my cheek as he held the sly smile, looking right to me as he went on. "And who were yours'?"

"Well there's you." I mocked, half hoping the idiot would crack a different kind of smile. I hated to admit I was still insanely attracted to him in the moment. Even despite both of our anger. "There was Ethan, Marcus, this kid named Sebastian-"

"And how long did they last?" He cut me off, his eyes darting off to look at the floor. I knew he was uncomfortable with all of this. Not that I wasn't. We're best friends. I was absolutely sure we already knew all of this about each other.

"Given the fact that I fell in love with you, yours' wasn't for very long. My feelings got too strong, too fast, for it to be a crush. Ethan, I had a crush on him for about a year. Marcus' only lasted for like a week. But Sebastian's..." I left off as I let my eyesight fall to the ground. This may have been one detail I had left out in our vows. "Went on for almost three years."

Chase nodded, keeping his sight low until Sebastian was mentioned. So that's what this was about. Sebastian. Someone had spilled something about him sometime during the past twenty four hours. He finally knew and he was pissed that I never told him.

"And Sebastian was the guy that hit on you when we got back?" He reaffirmed as he directed his sight towards me. I nodded, biting into my lip hard.

"Yes. But I haven't like him for way over two years, Chase." I went on, knowing it was completely irrelevant. One, like I said, it was a crush that ended over two years ago. And two, it was a crush! I never acted on it, I never did anything about it, and I only told those two blabber mouths...

Adam.

Man he's on a role. Spilling information like he's a freaking bucket overflowing with water. Why did he have to tell everyone about all of this! Of course I had been planning on telling Chase, just not right before we got into the Marcus thing. Now he has even more ammunition against me!

"Fine." Chase hissed. "Have you ever kissed Adam or Leo?" My face scrunched up at that last one. I can honestly attest to the fact that after that stage kiss with Adam, who, definitely made it anything but a stage kiss, I had to wash out my mouth. Never have I ever been more disgusted. And kissing Leo just made me want to puke. So maybe I have been more disgusted. Those beady little eyes... How does Jannel do it? I would pick Adam over Leo any day. If someone held a gun to my head or something.
