daniel's pov
maya was really taking jonah cheating hard and i felt really bad. i knew i liked maya when i first met her, i just didn't feel the same way about vanessa anymore after i met her.
i liked vanessa, i love maya but it's really hard for me to tell her that. especially after she's just been cheated on. but she deserves so much better than what happened to her.
i distanced myself from her only because she was going through a rough time. but i wanted to hug her for like ten minutes so bad. she needed all the love she could get. oh there's that word again, love.
it would be wrong of me to tell her i loved her after what happened to her. and after i didn't tell her i had a girlfriend.
"hey maya can we talk?" i said to finally the break the ice
"yeah i guess."
we walked outside the bus and sat on the curb so we could be more private. plus all the guys were sleeping on the bus.
"how have you been doing?"
"to be honest, i've been awful and vanessa still being here is making it worse. i just want to escape everything just so i don't have to see them anymore. but i appreciate you punching jonah in the face, i really do."
"no problem, he shouldn't of done that to you because it's wrong. do you think you loved him?"
"you know daniel, i don't think i did. thank god."
"did you love vanessa?"
"i thought i did, but now that i think hard about it. i really didn't. i have this close friend that's a girl and i think i love her."
"good for you daniel, who is it?"
"it's... um... her... name... is... angi."
i mentally slapped my head, i'm such a fucking idiot. why couldn't i just tell her i loved her, why was it so hard for me to say? i guess maybe that's what love is, when you have genuine love it's so scary to say it for the first time.
"that's nice daniel, i say you should go for it. if she doesn't like you back she's dumb."
with that maya walked back inside the bus and i was left there to think.
"god i'm so stupid!" i yelled to myself and covered my face with my hands
"man you're dumb." i heard a voice say
i looked up to see zach peeking his head out of the window of the bus.
"you're in love with maya, aren't you?" he asked
"yep."
"why didn't you just tell her, i saw the look on her face i know she feels the same."
"it's just hard zach, i don't want to screw it up just like jonah did."
"you need to just be honest, not tell her you love someone else. that just makes everything worse."
"it's now or never bro."
"did you seriously just quote high school musical?"
"maybe i did, maybe i didn't you'll never know." he said and then shut the window
he was right i needed to tell her before it's too late, then she'll see that she is loved unlike whatever crap jonah gave her.
i knew that i could do it, but i couldn't do it here. i have to take her somewhere.
