venus blaney!
two weeks went by and i was getting better but i still felt bad for daniel. he shouldn't love me when i don't love him. it's not that i don't like him. it's that i don't think i like him like that. i just didn't know how to tell him. we have so much fun together and i really like hanging out with him, i don't want to ruin that.
"venussss you've been in your room all day. what's wrong? and don't say nothing because I've learned to know you." zach says as he walks into my room, "zachhh you can't just walk in." he sits on the bed next to me, "just tell me what's wrong." ugh. zach doesn't let things go. "i need to break up with daniel." his eyes go wide in surprise, "wow that was straightforward."
"it's not anything against daniel but i don't love him, i don't think i like him as a boyfriend. i didn't realize it until recently and i feel so bad so please don't make me feel any worse." he puts his hand on my shoulder, "v you're going to hurt him more if you don't tell him. it's daniel he won't be mad at you. wait a minute... is this because of corbyn?"
"partly." i know i shouldn't but i do. i like corbyn and i liked him the first day i met him. i thought it was daniel but it's not. it never was. "i guess i should go talk to daniel. wow." he gives me a reassuring smile before i leave the room. "daniel? can i come in?" i say as i knock lightly on the door, "hey venus. what's wrong?"
"daniel can we talk?" he sits on the small couch in his room, gesturing for me to sit next to him. "daniel i think you're really great and any girl would be lucky to have you bu-" he cuts me off, "you're breaking up with me?" i don't look at him, I'm facing his door. "you're a really good friend and i don't want to lose you but daniel i realized that i don't like you how you like me. and i hate to say this but corbyn is the guy i like and i know i shouldn't. god i feel so bad, I'm sorry that I'm a mess."
"venus... I think I've known for a while that we weren't meant to be but i let my feelings get in the way. of course we'll still be friends and
I'll find a way to get over you when you start dating corbyn." i frown, "no. I'm not going to date corbyn because he doesn't like me like that." and that's something I'm going to have to keep telling myself maybe I'll figure out that it actually is true.
"well if he doesn't then it's his loss now hug me so we can officially break up." he pulls me in for a hug which makes the tears fall. he's such a sweet guy, he doesn't deserve this. "I'm sorry again. you don't deserve this." i leave his room shortly after, heading back to my room to see zach still sitting there this time however he's watching netflix. "zach! what are you doing?"
he doesn't answer me, his eyes are glued to the screen. i grab the remote and shut off the tv making his eyes snap towards me. "what the hell venus!" he's frowning at me. "i broke up with daniel."
"oh wow um sorry? i don't know what to say because you didn't really like him so." he lets out a nervous laugh which makes me pull him in for a hug, "you're a great best friend."
