After Classes
Jay's POV
This is it. I have to do it. I have to confront her. She's been avoiding me all day and hadn't gave me a single glance in class. Walked past me multiple times like I was never even there. I don't want it to be like this.
I saw her alone outside the library stairs. Ron had went home as I heard so I approached her and grabbed her wrist. She was startled to see me . I dragged her all the way to a corner where no one would see us. It would make up a big fuss since they'll think I'm cheating on Candice. Adria didn't hesitate to come with me but she hadn't said a single word and kept looking at the ground. As I let go of her hand , I looked at her. I looked at her features I was never able to see. She was avoiding eye contact. Then , my body instantly moved by itself ,
and I enveloped her into a hug.
"I'm sorry." I whispered. "I'm sorry I kept hiding my feelings for you. I'm sorry I didn't greet you on your birthday each year even though I badly wanted to. I'm sorry for purposely trying to use Candice to get myself over you. I'm sorry I never talk to you because I've never had the courage to. I'm so sorry for all the crap I did. I didn't want to break your relationship between you and Ron. Both of you are inseparable and I knew I couldn't stand a chance. The more I try to forget about you this feeling just gets bigger and bigger. Adria I like you- no scratch that - I love you!"
Adria's eyes were watering and she bent down to cover her face. As I saw her fragile figure I couldn't help but feel pain inside me. I bent downt in front of her. And whispered around a dozen apologies.
"Is this some kind of dream? That you'd like me back? I've waited 10 damn years for this and right after I told myself I'd forget about you I'd finally be free, but then here you are?! Right in front of me. Doing something I never pictured you do in a million years , to apologize for something that isn't worth apologising for. You thought about the consequences of being with someone you love. And concern those who'd get hurt. " Adria told me in a muffled voice.
"Adria, I don't deserve you, nor do I deserve your forgiveness, but please be with me."
