Just another love story [BeforeYou Exit Fan Fic]

From a Best friend, for a Bestfriend

We sat there talking for quite a long time, almost forgetting about any events that happened prior to us kissing. Honestly, I'm glad she kissed me. I try to be as cool as possible around girls, but it often comes out as awkward and shy. But that's just how I am I guess.

This was my chance to start over. Fresh. No excuses, no drama, and nothing but having a great time getting to know each other more. What I really like about Adri is that she doesn't try too hard to impress anyone. She is naturally beautiful and has her own Tom-boyish flare that gives her an edge, and sets her apart from any other girl I've met.

Personality wise, she is nothing at all like Tayler. Which is good in most ways. She is really down-to-earth and nice; she even has her own sense if cute awkwardness. Lets face it: awkward people end up with other awkward people! And I am not complaining at all. I'm really glad that her and I are gonna try to take things slow. Even though we've recently gotten to know each other and kissed a matter of minutes ago. Other than that, I feel like things between us have the potential to grow into a lasting and happy bond. Even if by some chance, we end up just as friends.

We continued talking about music and other bands that we were crazy about. Turns out that we have about the same taste in music, of course with minor differences, but we decided to make a playlist for each other on our all time favorite songs. It was our own his and hers playlist and I was already thinking of songs to bundle up. This was certainly going to be a fun project and I couldn't wait to hear what music she would conjure up.

"Alright, so don't judge me but...you may find a Jonas Brothers song or two on your playlist..." She smiled shyly and I chuckled a bit.

"No judgement. Promise!" I held up my left hand while my right hand was planted on my chest, as if I was making an oath not to judge. Besides, she had already informed me of her love for the Jonas Brothers, no shame in that. At least she was being honest!

"Okay. Good!" Her face lit up as I accepted her hint. I might even add one of their songs just for her... Maybe. I'll sleep on it.

She continued to look around the room curiously, "is everything okay?" I asked.

"I'm just wondering where Dani is... I don't think Connor found her yet. I wonder what happened." I was wondering the same thing. And where was Riley?! I remembered that I had to ask him about the mics, he did't do so well of a job at labeling them and his 2 looked more like a 3 and we ended up with each others mics. It's like you ask him to do one simple thing but he finds a way to mess up. But I guess we all make dumb mistakes, so I wasn't too upset about it.

"Well things seemed to be okay with them earlier. I wonder what went wrong..." I didn't want to think that there was already issues surfacing, but surely it was a possibility. I noticed Adri nodding in agreement and she bit her lip thinking the same as I was.

Connor made his way back towards us and began questioning is again about Dani's whereabouts. I asked him about what happened and he finally fessed up and told us everything that happened.

"Are you seriously that stupid?!" Adri let out in frustration.

"What?! She's the one that offered to just be friends anyways!" Connor shot back.

"Because you made it seem like you just wanted her to be there for you physically and not emotionally. Basically, your booty call! And I am letting you know right now that she doesn't deserve that and you don't deserve her! There's way more to her than a pretty face, and way more than you will ever know! She is practically my sister and you just screwed up big time. No girl actually wants to just be friends with a guy that she suddenly meets and ends up having feelings for him. Not only did you screw her over with that 'open relationship' crap, but you screwed yourself by letting the most amazing girl go. This is all on you. And I'm sure there's someone out there that would do a much better job of taking care of her, emotionally. Unlike you. You have no idea what she had been through and now you may never know," this side of Adri was very defensive and protective and I certainly did not want to get on get bad side or even think about intervening now, "there are plenty of guys that are into her. But she wanted you, but now it's too late." She got up and stormed off without even letting Connor react.

He just stood there; numb and emotionless. He knew that everything Adri just said was true, no matter how much it hurt. He simply walked off without saying a word to me, in an effort to find her. Continuing his search aimlessly and emotionless.

Okay, maybe I should have said something, but what would I have said to make anything better?! "Oh hey man, sorry you're such an idiot for doing what you did. You'll be okay!"? Ummm... No. He just needed his space. And I don't blame him.

I just hope that he really will be okay. No matter what the outcome is.
