An Unforgettable Summer

Chapter 38

DANNI'S POV

Ashton sat down on my bed while I just stood there, starring at my closed bedroom door -I'm sure that it looked like I was having a freaking starring contest with the door. I am not prepared to talk to Ashton, nor will I ever be. I snapped out of my daze and turned to Ashton. He was smiling briefly, but it soon faded when he examined my face. He stood up and walked over to me, and wrapped his arms around me. I didn't move a muscle.

He let go of me and starred at me. "Danni, what's wrong?"

I sighed and walked over to my bed and sat down. I patted across from me, gesturing for Ashton to sit down. He kept his feet planted firmly on the ground. "Ash, this is gonna take a while... You might want to sit down" I lightly laughed, lightning the mood.

He finally quit being stubborn and sat down on my bed. "Now Danni, what's wrong"

"You know how we went on that group date and then you asked me out?" I questioned. He nodded. "Well, during the group date... I um, realized something." I stuttered.

"And what's that?" He questioned. I honestly don't want to tell him that I realized that I don't like him in that way anymore, but I have to... here goes nothing...

"I, um, realized that I either don't want an us anymore or I'm confused, really confused" I realized that if I don't like Ashton, then why am I so afraid to hurt him? I guess my feelings are mixed.

"What do you mean?" Ashton looked completely confused.

"On the group date... I didn't feel the feelings that I felt when we originally started dating, if that makes sense" I said.

"It makes sense, but what are you confused about?" Ashton asked.

"Well... So I felt that I lost my feelings for you, but then each time that comes to where I have a chance to talk to you about it, I get to worried that I would hurt your feelings to actually talk to you. It makes me question if I do have feelings for you or not." I looked up at Ashton, who was clearly in the middle of a thought.

"Maybe your feelings were just a caring friend kind of feeling" he said.

I nodded. "That makes more sense..."

"Well, even though we won't date, we can still be friends, right?" Ashton asked.

"Best friends" I corrected him and smiled, which he returned.
