In Deep (rewriting?? )

I stayed there shocked. He liked me. What do I say? Do I do anything? Should I say that I like him too? Do I kiss him? I just sat there. Like an idiot. All my dreams were coming true and I was just staying here speechless. Way to go.

Although Jason took my silence as a cue to leave. He swiftly got up and walked away angrily. Once I realized what had happened, Jason has taken my silence as that I didn't like him back. I ran after him though he was long gone. I ran the path of the resort. Many people looked at me oddly as I frantically searched for the boy I dare say, I loved.

Turning into a corner, I slowed my last bit to avoid running into anyone. I instantly regretted my decision when I saw Jason sucking face with the blonde who was flirting with him when we were playing volleyball. He would never be mine. My pants turned into heaves as I surcharge to fill my lungs with air.

My gasps caused Jason to face me, his eyes widening when I slowly started to back away. I quickly turned on my heels and ran the other direction. He never called for me, never even ran after me. I ran outside needing the fresh air. Finding a tree to lean on, Iwiped my tears and caught my breath.

Will I never be enough? He confessed that he liked me but wasn't willing to hear me out. Maybe he was looking for something to take up his time. I was nothing. I collected myself and silently make my way down to my room. I pressed the elevator button and stared at my reflection in the metal doors. I was clearly a mess. Sweat dripping down my forehead, hair was a mess, and eyes were puffy and red from all the running and crying I did.

"Sara?" I heard someone called from behind me. I faced Jason with my puffy red eyes and I instantly regretted even looking at him. "What's wrong? I was with the girl because you don't like me back. Why are you sad when I should be the one sad," he told me. I sniffled. "You think my silence meant I didn't like you back? You're a fool," I told him angered.

He raised his perfect eyebrows in question. "Jason I was silent because I was shocked. Shocked that my crush from grade 9 till now actually liked me back. The boy I have been obsessing over ever since I was 14 years old likes me. I didn't know what to say." I screamed, frustrated. "I still don't."

"When I saw you with that girl I jus-" my rant was suddenly cut off with Jason's lips on mine. I didn't care though. I forgot I was even mad at him in the first place. I felt the gentle caress of his finger wiping away my tears. The kiss was broken and he wrapped his arms around me, resting his chin on my head.

"I never meant to hurt you. I was just so sad that you didn't like me back. I have liked you since grade 9 too you know. The silly girl in front of the math class. How could I ever miss you, you were the prettiest girl in the grade," I went stiff in his arms as he told me this information.

I shift my head to look into his eyes. "Really?" I asked, amused and giddy. He nodded and kissed the top of my head. "It makes me so happy to know you liked me as well. You make me happy," he said and kissed me again.
