Truth or dare - Season 1

Part 5

I sat in the car and watched the two of them talk for what seemed like forever. Voices were raised but as the conversation went on, Corbyn got less tense. Suddenly they hugged each other and then Daniel turned and walked back towards the car. I felt relieved. I had hope that maybe he would forgive me.

"He wants to talk to you" Daniel said as he got back in the car.

"Alright" I said and stepped out of the car. Just when I stepped out I caught Corbyn's eyes and for a few seconds we just stared at each other before he looked to the ground. I took a deep breath and walked up the path towards him. It was in the middle of January and I was wearing a skirt a bit shorter than knee length so I was pretty damn cold. The stone path felt miles long as I thought of what to say to him. I mean what was I supposed to say? There was really no explanation for what I did. Finally I reached the door:

"Hi" I said quietly.

"Come in" he said and stepped aside for me to walk in first. He closed the door behind us and lead me to the living room where he sat down in a chair and I sat down on the sofa. For a few minutes we just sat there. No one said anything and we didn't look at each other. I guess neither of us knew how to start but I felt like I was the one who had to start the conversation.

"I'm sorry Corbyn," I said. He stayed quiet for a few seconds before looking at me.

"You're sorry? That's all you have to say?". Fuck, he was getting angry, but I really didn't know what else to say.

"You made out with my best friend and all you have to say is sorry?" he raised his voice.

"What else can I say Corbyn?" I felt tears pressuring already and I bit my lip to try and hold them back. He sighed.

"I don't know"

"So was he better than me?" he asked. If I'm being honest he sort of was, but there was no way in hell I was going to tell Corbyn that.

"No" I said firmly and stood up from the couch.

"Look Corbyn. Yes I did enjoy it I can't run from that. But trust me, the only one I want to kiss is you". He smiled slightly to himself.

"I don't know (Y/N)" he said as he sighed softly "I need time to think".

"Okay". I couldn't hold it back anymore. The tears were pressuring and I couldn't stop it. Tears streamed down my face as I ran out of Corbyn's house back to the car. I got in the car, still sobbing.

"What happened?"

"Just take me home" I demanded. Daniel started the car drove away from Corbyn's house.

When we arrived at my house I had stopped crying but my eyes were still red and my face was still puffy.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Daniel asked.

"Not really" I said and looked at him, "would you mind coming in with me? My mom is gone all weekend and I really don't want to be alone right now". He nodded and turned off the engine.
