Moana and Maui: A Series Of One Shots

Rejection Isn't Fun (Part 2)

Rejection Isn't Fun (Part 2)

One Shot #12 (Cont.)

Moana's POV 

 Three hours later...

   I feel absolutely terrible about how I reacted to Maui's confession of his feelings for me. He's my best friend. He doesn't deserve to be treated the way I treated him. I need to apologize to him. I make my way to his hut and knock. "Maui, are you there?" No response. "Maui?" No response again. The hut begins to blow in the wind a bit, the entrance opening right up. I enter and see the hut is empty. Panic begins to arise in me. I see a note on the bed in an envelope that says my name on it. I immediately open it up, reading it aloud: 

  Dear Moana,

   I'm sorry that I ruined our friendship. I can tell that I made you quite uncomfortable with the mention of my slightly romantic feelings towards you, but I promise you, you don't have to deal with me anymore. By the time you read this, I'll be gone. Just know that you didn't do anything wrong, it's me. I need some time away to get over you. If the day comes that I'm finally over you, maybe one day I'll return, but it won't be anytime soon. No matter what happens in life,  just know that you'll always be that special girl to me and that I'll always be with you in your heart. 

                                                                                                      Sincerely, 

                                                                                                      Maui

   I clutch the letter to my heart and sob. What have I done? No only have I broken Maui's heart, but I lost my best friend at the same time. It's hard for Maui to express his feelings so he doesn't like to do it often, but today he actually chose to open up and I basically mocked him. Because of my actions, I'll spend the rest of my life regretting today. I'm going to miserable everyday until Maui returns, that is if he even ever returns. I wouldn't blame him if he didn't. I rejected a wonderful man so I deserve to be alone and suffer emotionally just as much as he is. 

      You know what the saddest part about all of this is? I rejected Maui out of fear. The truth is I'm super in love with him and because of my mistake, I may never get the chance to tell him. Like the note says, he wants to try to get over me. I wouldn't be able to bear it if he returned and happened to find someone else. Though, as upset as I would be, I'd push my feelings aside and try to be happy for him. It just sucks though that not everyone gets to end up with the person they love most in the world. Maybe someday, in another life, I'll end up with Maui. After all, he gets to live forever while I'm going to die one day.

  

Hoped that you guys liked this one shot! I'm sorry that this is another depressing one. Hopefully I'll get some happier ideas over the next couple of days! :) -Mary
