ADDY

i saw the hurt in his eyes.

"Daniel.."

"No." his words were harsh, and they stung.

he put down the roses he had given me. i picked them up and read the note that was attached.

i like you, adalyn.
and i hope you'll give me a chance.
because you deserve the world.
xo, dani.

what did i just do?

Ethan looked at me. I looked at Daniel. they both wanted me. but i didn't know what i wanted.

what did i want?

then it hit me.

i want happiness.

and i know who makes me happy.

i looked at Ethan. he knew what i wanted.

because when i looked at him, he quietly whispered: go.

and i did.

when i went outside, i saw Daniel sitting in his car.

and i wasn't him, but i knew what he was thinking about: what he did wrong.

he didn't do anything wrong, of course. but just seeing me kissing my ex must've hit a nerve.

i quietly tapped on the window, and he unlocked the door. i climbed in, and let the silence fill the air.

it was quiet until he asked the question i didn't know the answer to: why?

why had i done it? i don't know.
maybe i was scared of losing him. losing the first person in my life i had loved.

but, i very subtly answered: "it wasn't your fault. you did nothing wrong." i sighed and cleared my throat. i faced him and grabbed my hand. "it's you."

he looked at me with hurt in his eyes, "what?"

i smiled. "i needed to think about what i wanted for a second. it's happiness. and you, Daniel Seavey, make me happy."

he grabbed me by my waist and flipped me over so i was sitting on his lap in the driver seat.

i pulled him by his face and attached my lips to his.

that night is the night ill never forget.

the night i realizes i loved daniel seavey.
