The Documentary

Chapter 8

Daniels POV

i've been in my room the past few hours. i have a desire to do something with myself but my body won't move, i'm heartbroken. i don't really know what to think. i get up from my desk and over to my check of drawers again, i reach in and shuffle through all my clothes. i look under an old scrap book and i see a few envelopes that i haven't touched in a few months. i open the sealed up pieces of paper and i see many letters to bethany, that begin to tell her how i feel. as i read the meaningful words i once wrote, tears begin to stream down my face.

*knock knock*

i quickly shove the letters in my pockets and wipe the tears from my face and put on a fake smile.

me: come in.

jack: bethany is starting to pack her stuff up, do something about this bro. i heard you guys talking. you care about her a lot.
he says as he sits down on my bed looking up at me.

me: she doesn't want me.

jack: you don't know that, she may have been speechless when you said all the meaningful things you said a few hours ago. but speechless and rejection are two different things.

i pull the papers out of my pocket again and drop them on the floor. i quickly walk out the door and upstairs. as i begin to get closer and closer to bethany i feel a sigh of relief. i double my pace and knock on her door.

*knock knock*

bethany: come in.

i walk in slowly. and i see her standing by the window just looking out.

me: are you okay?

bethany turns around with tears running down her face. i can tell she has something to say.

bethany: i...i

i walk over to her and try and comfort her. i grab her waist and pull her in a tight hug. she hugs me back.

bethany: i'm sorry
she says all choked up

me: it's okay
i whisper back.

bethany: daniel, i can't even describe the feelings i have towards you.

i feel a tear drip onto my shoulder and i begin to shed some too.
i slowly let go of her body and we stand face to face, tears still dripping down.
i pull her closer until our lips almost touch. we remain like that for a few moments and i know she wants to kiss me.
i lean in further and i put her lips on mine, kissing her passionately and she kisses me back.
