Just the way you are [COMPLETE]

EXTRA CHAPTER 2: ANOTHER PERSON?!

"So, Jocelyn," Kyleen asked. "When are you and Kaison gonna get married already? Sheesh, you guys need a little-" She wiggled her eyebrows a bit. "-You know?" Jocelyn giggled. "Oh me and Kaison broke up like yesterday." Kyleen sighed. "We need to find you a boyfriend." Gwen ran her hand through the innocent girl's hair. "Maybe she wants to be single, unlike Aprelle." "Hey!" Aprelle said, not in the least offended. "Yeah, why do you always have so many boyfriends?" asked Roxanne.

"Leave me alone. How about you and Gibby?"

Kyleen waved her hand. "We stan," she said, nodding.

They were catching up in that apartment, just lying out on the floor, sitting at the table, etc. as the door opened to the separated boys and girls. "Hey guys, sorry I'm late," a voice said. There was tension between three of them. "Oh hey Bryan," Aprelle said. J-hope held Aprelle's hand, claiming ownership over her. 

"I'm not Bryan, I'm cheese. And you can't ever call my name again."

Aprelle shot a longing look at Daniya. "Can I live with you," she whined. Daniya hugged her. "Su-" she stopped herself as she realized.....

All the noise her and Jimin made the night before.

"Bryan, get out," she said.

"Huh? I just got here, what the f*ck are you talking about?"

"Who invited you?" asked Kyleen.

The man nodded towards Brian, Joshua, and their group, Aaron Pepsi, Gabe John, Izik Walton, Qua'tarious Simsuangco, Kaison McDonalds and Derrick Hartmon.

"Them."

The girls glared at the boys.

"Let's go?" J-hope asked, nodding towards the front door. They joined hands and began to exit, when Bryan gripped onto Aprelle's free hand, squeezing. "C'mon, just stay." Brian looked up, seeing the girl uncomfortable. He began to get up. A hand pulled his hand off her wrist. "Leave me alone. I'm not some stupid teenager anymore." It was her own hand.

Bryan was her ex.... after J-hope. Yeah she was definitely a hoe. Not a doubt. But that was because Bryan asked her out. He was so sweet to her. But little did she know, it would lead to a possessive relationship. Later she broke up with him, and J-hope decided to take care of her, but not as a girlfriend anymore. Just as an older brother.

They left. Bryan shrugged and joined the boys. Brian looked at him awkwardly. Bryan pulled the "other" Brian into a little hug.

Kyleen squinted and sighed. "I think I'm gonna just go check on Aprelle," Daniya said, getting up from the floor. She began walking down the first stair when she saw something she didn't expect to see. Maybe her vision was a bit blurry due to her spinning surroundings, but she could've sworn that she saw J-hope leaning against Aprelle, kissing her against the wall.

She fainted.

"Huh? What was...?" Aprelle hit J-hope's shoulder. "IT'S DANIYA!" They rushed up the stairs together and they picked her up, bringing her inside their new apartment. "HEY GUYS, DANIYA FAINTED!" she yelled. They made room for her unconscious body on the sofa. Joshua watched as she softly took breaths in and out. "Daniya..."

"Oh you know what," Qua'tarious said with a playful smile. "I think Josh got her-" "It's not. We haven't seen each other in over six years. She even got married so..."

"Oh so you found out," Kyleen sighed. "I had hoped that we wouldn't have to keep that secret forever." "Duh, of course. She's wearing her ring." Kyleen rolled her eyes. "Ok?"

"Let me call Jimin. This might be serious," J-hope said, dialing his number. It began to ring.

"Ah Jiminie," J-hope spoke. "Dani fainted. You should come and-" "HUH? WHAT?" Jimin started to yell. "I'LL BE THERE IN UNDER 20!"

Kyleen started to fan her with two pieces of paper.

*15 minutes later*

"DANIYA!" He burst through the front door. No one was home. "What the... where...? I swear to God if-" "What the hell are you doing talking to yourself, baka?" Daniya asked, standing in the doorway. He pulled her into a hug, sealing it with a deep kiss. He sighed. "What happened? I heard you fainted." She slightly laughed. "Well.... I've just been working too hard."

"Huh? What was that wink?"

Everyone else filed into the room. "CONGRATULATIONSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!"

Joshua smiled in the midst of that crowd, even though everything seemed over with the two. Joshua was happy for them. He never exactly was honest with his feelings, but...

he was glad someone else had been. Someone who could take care of Daniya, and love her until the end of time.

He still loved her. But it was ok. Someone loved her more, he thought. 

Life does that. Play tricks on you. It's just a matter of how you handle them, y'know? Life is a whole game, and life is the whole prize.
