3.2 - happier

[JACK AVERY]

Daniel hasn't been acting like his normal goofy self. He's a lot more quiet and yet moody.

I know something happened between him and Joey. I just don't know what, and he won't talk about it.

He's been like this for a few weeks.

I first noticed at the Concert of the Summer show.

I feel kinda sorry for him. But didn't he cheat on Joey? But if he chose to cheat, why is he so upset? Maybe it wasn't his decision...

"Jack, babe" Zach says coming to lay down with me. "Hey heroine." I say kissing the top of his head. "Hey!" He laughed hitting me lightly.

"Sowwy" I joke and kiss him. He pulls away after a couple seconds and looks at me. "Jack..." He says sitting up. "Hm?" I hum softly, also sitting up.

"I think I'm in love with you..." Zach says faintly. "Yeah?" I ask feeling a million butterflies in my stomach. "Yeah." He confirmed.

"Well...I think the feeling is mutual." I reply softly. "I love you, Jack." Zach says centimetres from my face. Zach made me feel things I never thought I could feel.

"I love you too." I grin, leaning in to kiss him.

Our lips collide and sends a tingly sensation through my body.

I felt like nothing could get to me, ever. Like the world just froze.

I cupped his face deepening the kiss. Zach is so special to me. When I met Zach I wasn't happy at all.

I felt myself breaking more and more everyday. But then I realized that Zach is the person I've been searching for this whole time.

And Zach makes me so happy. It's like whenever I'm with him, I forget about yesterday and dream of tomorrow.

I really do love Zach. It's unbelievable how much love I have for him.

[DANIEL SEAVEY]

I saw Joey and some guy at the beach. But she didn't notice me. The guy was really attractive too.

She could go out with him. Be seen in public with him.

She looked so much more happy with him. I was by myself there too.

They held hands walking down the shoreline. I sat at a picnic table pretending to be on my phone.

He made her laugh.

My heart ached. My eyes filled with tears. I blinked them away.

I still adored and admired her. How could you not love a girl like Joey? Why did I let her go?

But what kills me is that I know, if Joey wanted to stay with me, she would have.

And she didn't. But I mean I should be happy for her, right?

[JOEY STANFORD]

Maybe he was funny and good looking. But he wasn't Daniel.

His name was Kian. Kian Lawley. He was so sweet and caring and funny. I guess I was only "with" Kian to attempt to get my mind off of Daniel.

All he did was remind me of Daniel. Things we used to do together. And that we don't have that anymore.

I felt bad for Kian. He really was into me. But I didn't feel the same way.

Kian was such a great guy. Maybe I liked him a bit. And maybe I should say that's a good thing.

But I don't.

I missed Daniel so much. I missed our late night talks, our cute little dates, the way Daniel and I would cuddle, the way Daniel looked at me right before he would kiss me...

I was still heartbroken. But Daniel just let me go. If he wanted to keep me, why didn't he try to explain himself, try and win my heart over?

Daniel didn't want me. Maybe I should just get over him. But I know I couldn't if I tried.
