Walls

Chapter 21 part1

Jayson faced me and looked straight to my eyes.

I looked at him confused.

What's the sudden seriousness in his eyes?

"Dani.." He called. "We've been friends for so long. You've known me better than any of my friends had. You've seen good in me than any of my family ever seen. You've tried and believed in me better than even my own mother."

He looked at me with all sincerity.

"You've known my intentions even before I even open up to you. You've been my friend far better and more real than any of the ones I've considered as. You made me believe in myself. You've have done a lot for me."

"And just when I was realizing everything, just when i was making my mind up, you suddenly left." A hint of pain was evident on his voice.

"But instead of returning back to my old self, I decided to become better. It was a difficult way, it was never instant. I made countless mistakes before I straighten up."

"But something is constant. You were still my constant and when I met you again at the church, it made me realize its now or never."

I became confuse.

Jays held my right hand.

"I love you Dani. I've always love you. Now, stronger than before. I've fallen for the girl who had always cared and seen good in me even when all around me was disaster. Please Dani, let me love you." He spilled.

I didn't caught what was happening until Jays squeezed my hand.

He said he love me.

"Jays love me?"

"But.."

I withdraw my hand.

Jayson looked at me, asking.

I avoided his eyes.

I don't know.

I'm not sure.

Yes, I love him but as a friend.

Yes, he wasn't easy to love beyond that but..

Then suddenly I hear someone barge in.

I hear people gasping.

I heard a voice call my name in a very familiar way. The voice was familiar.

"Danielle." He called.

I looked up at the owner of such voice. I will never forget that voice no matter how long it has been since I last heard it.

"Jace.." I whispered when our eyes met.
