my head has just been all over the place the past month or so. i haven't wanted to talk to anyone, not even the guys, i just always felt the need to be alone. all the guys have tried to talk to me about the breakup, but i shut them out every time. i know i can't keep going like this until i get it all out, or i'll never fully get over her.

y/n has been really nice to me, even though i've been a complete jerk towards her from the moment we met. if i'm being honest the second i saw her my heart dropped, she was absolutely beautiful... but i was broken. i knew in the state i was currently in, i'd only end up hurting myself. i didn't want to just like y/n to take my pain away or distract myself from taylor. y/n didn't deserve that and neither did i.

so i had to let my heart heal, it's not completely there... but it's getting there. ever since that one night where y/n and i were outside alone, i've come out here hoping she'd be out here too. it was the only time we've truly been alone without all the others around, and i really enjoyed it... even though i was still hurting. i don't come out here to 'think' every night, no... i come hoping y/n's here too.... and she finally is.

-y/n's pov-
"you wanna know what happened... with my ex?" daniel asked "only if you want to talk about it" i replied "i do... i need to" he said and then took a deep breath. "her name was taylor... we dated for about a year. we were so happy... or atleast that's what i thought. i was so in love with her, she was my everything... but i wasn't hers." he said looking down at his hands.

"she was using me, but i couldn't see it. people told me she was using me, but i didn't listen. it was clearly very obvious to everyone but me. she would always make sure i tagged her in things, or made sure people knew we were dating. she'd always make it a point to people that i was 'in a band'. and she had been cheating on me for atleast 5 months of our relationship." he said and i could hear the pain in his words.

"it wasn't until i seen her cheating with my own eyes that i believed it all. when i seen her with another guy, it broke me. i had never believed the guys telling me how awful she was until i seen it myself, and then i knew i couldn't deny it anymore. so i ended things. she tried to play the victim but i knew the truth, so i ended it." he let out a big sigh, as if a weight had been lifted off his chest. "oh daniel, i'm sorry that happened to you... i've been cheated on before, it's the worst feeling ever." i said and pulled him in for a hug.

it was dark but i could tell he had tears falling from his eyes, i felt so bad for him. we pulled away from the hug and our faces were inches apart. it felt like he wanted to kiss me, and i honestly don't know if i wanted to kiss him, but he was just vulnerable and emotional. i pulled away before anything could happen and he shyly smiled at me. "thank you y/n, it feels good to actually talk about all of this." he said "i'm always here for you daniel, know that" i said smiling back at him.

"and i'm sorry for being so cold towards you since the moment we met, i was just so broken, it wasn't like me" he finally said. "oh you don't have to apologize, now i understand why you were so rude... you were just hurting." i replied and we both smiled at eachother. "i think i'm gonna head to bed now, see you tomorrow?" i said "yeah, i'll see you tomorrow. "goodnight y/n" he said with one last smile "goodnight daniel" i said before heading to bed.
