Chapter 39 Part 2: Ben's P.O.V
Cont.
I could either try to make her choose me, or I could just let her
be with Danny. As much as I wanted to be with Aly, and I did,
more than anything; but I couldn’t do that to Danny. I
couldn’t take Aly away from him; if she wanted to be with
me, she could, but I couldn’t just take her away from
Danny; it wasn’t right.
But I couldn’t stand being near her when she kept doing
this to me. I was getting seriously fed up with it. I would
rather just be friends with her than keep going through this
every day, but it’s painful to be friends with her when
she’s so oblivious to the fact that I’m completely in
love with her.
The next day at school she tried to catch up to me in the
hallway, but I just walked faster.
“Ben! Slow down! Why are you avoiding me?” She
called.
“I’m not.” I half-shouted, annoyed as I turned
around to face her. I could see hurt in her eyes, but she tried
to keep her face neutral.
“Okay, well then do you want to maybe grab some coffee
after rehearsal?” She asked hopefully.
“I’m busy.” I said shortly before turning
around and continuing down the hallway.
I didn’t want to talk to her right now; I needed some time
to cool down. But I couldn’t do that when I had to see her
every day for rehearsal.
Val’s P.O.V.
Ben had been angry at me all day, and he was shutting me out
during rehearsal. I just wanted to talk to him! I wanted to tell
him that I didn’t mean anything by the kiss and that we
were just best friends. I wouldn’t mean it, of course, but
I knew that was what he wanted and needed to hear to move past
this.
“Ben, can we talk?” I asked timidly at the end of
rehearsal, hoping he wouldn’t blow up at me again. Everyone
else had left, and it was just Ben and I in the auditorium.
He looked at me and nodded.
“Okay, well I just this that we should maybe talk about
what happened, because you’ve been avoiding me and I think
maybe we should clear some things up becau--”
“Before you finish that,” He cut me off. “I
need to tell you something.”
“Um, alright.” I nodded, gulping. Maybe he really did
feel the same way? Even if he did, I didn’t know what I
would do.
“I’m quitting the play.” Ben said and I gaped
at him.
“WHAT? WHY?” I yelled, astonished.
“I just don’t want to do it anymore.” He said,
averting his eyes.
“Oh no, you better give me a better reason than that, Ben
Jackson! How could you do this with only a week left? It’s
not fair to any of us! No one else knows the part as well as
you!” Why was he doing this?
“Ryan’s my understudy, so I figured he could take the
role.”
“You’re really serious aren’t you?” I
whispered. “Unbelievable.”
“Oh, I’m unbelievable? Whatever, Aly.” He said,
and he started walking off the stage.
“Did all of this really mean nothing to you?!” I
screamed after him, referring to the play. Anger was boiling in
my veins and tears were threatening my eyes. He was going to
jeopardize the play because I screwed up our friendship?
He suddenly spun around and in three long strides he was in front
of me with his arms wrapped tightly around my waist and his lips
pressed firmly to mine.
I didn’t have time to process what was happening before he
pulled back and cupped my face in his hands, his forehead pressed
to mine.
“It’s meant a lot more to me than you think,
Aly.” He said in a low voice that sent shivers down my
spine. With that, he released me and walked away, leaving me
staring after him, speechless.
And that’s when I realized that I was wrong. I was so very
wrong. How did I not realize before? I was so oblivious it was
almost amusing. Thinking back on the past few weeks, I
should’ve realized it. What an idiot. I’m such a
jerk. He must hate me. He must think I’m just messing with
him on purpose. He wasn’t avoiding me because he
didn’t feel the same way; it was just the opposite.
Ben Jackson was in love with me. How did I not realize earlier? I
missed my chance.
