Breaking Old Habits

chapter 7: I love you too

"I love you? What? He loves me?"

I just kept running these words through my head over and over with curiousity as to how he loved me. I don't even love me. I thought it was commonly known that in order for someone to be loved they had to love themselves? That definitley is not the case for me.

*****Kians POV*****

Okay, I know it was crazy of me to just blantly tell Maggie I love her but I do. It's not some joke or silly imagination thing it's real. The way she was so quick to jump to see if I was okay after the accident and like how she is so down to earth and chill unlike a lot of girls is just so unique. It's hard to find a girl like her, about a one in a million chance, and I refuse to let her slip away from me.

I'm aware that Maggie has personal battles within herself about maybe her weight, or how she looks, though she doesnt know I know, I can just tell, but to me she's beautiful and I want to help her to love herself. I will love her until she learns to love herself and contine to love her even past that.

I dont know if she feels the same way but I sure hope so becuase that would genuinely suck if she didn't.

*****Maggies POV*****

I don't know, what if I do love him? I mean after all I have been tossing the idea around in my head for a while theefore it could be real. I've considered the fact that I could love him and now I know he loves me so maybe it's my turn. I'll just go see him and we can figure it out together.

*****************

I didn't tell him I was coming but now that I'm here I'm quite nervous actually. I walked up to the front door, reevaluated myself, crossed my fingers and knocked on the door.

**door creaks open**

"Oh... Maggie.. Hey." He said unaware of my arrival.

Can I just point out how cute he looked in his sweats despite the fact he was on crutches.

"Yeah. Hey, sorry to just show up so unexpected, I just really wanted to talk." I replied.

*Kians thoughts- "Oh God, this sounds like a bad start, should I be worried? I don't know but i already am. My stomach is sort of twisting and butterflies arising in my gut."*

Kian was just kind of standing their non responsive as if he was unsure whether or not he could take what I was going to say, as if it were potentially awful or something, "Can I come in?" I asked.

Snapping back into reality from his daze he replied, "Oh yeah sure come in." He welcomed me as he opened the door wider so I could enter.

"You can take a seat on the couch if you'd like," He offered, "Can I get you anything? Water, soda?"

"No thank you I'm fine, but I would love it if you came and sat by me?" I told him before he offered me anything else.

"Oh yeah sorry I can do that." He replied while wobbing over on his cruches.

He sat down and once he was comfortable I jumped to my chance and just kissed him on the cheek and said it,

"I love you too."

Just to put out there I want to say how sad I am that O2L has decided to end their journey and go their seperate ways. I am proud of them because that had to be really hard but it hurts a lot to see them go. I love, respect, and support them so much.
