Tell Me That You Love Me ;;Garrett Nickelsen;;
“Are you tired?” Kennedy asked. “Yes,” I answered, yawning. “Aw, poor Danni,” Garrett said. “I wanna go to sleep,” I said to no one in particular, closing my eyes. “Go ahead,” Kennedy told me.
~Garrett pulled me into a hug. “Danni…I love you,” he said, kissing my cheek and caressing my arms. “I love you, too, Garrett,” I replied, smiling. The door to Garrett’s room flew open and there stood Pat. “Danielle…I can’t…I don’t…understand,” Pat started. “Why would you do this?” “I-I,” I sputtered. “No, Danni. We’re done,” he responded.~
My eyes quickly opened and I jolted upright, looking around me. “What’s wrong?” Kennedy asked, concern written all over his face. “Oh, nothing,” I lied. I stood up and rushed toward the bathroom. “Where are you going?” Pat called after me. “Bathroom,” I shouted.
I heard footsteps behind me and turned around. I became face-to-face with Sierra. “What’s wrong?” she asked, putting her hand on my shoulder. “I’m getting…paranoid,” I told her, grabbing her arm and dragging her into the bathroom.
“About what?” she asked after we were in the one person bathroom. I locked the door and leaned against it. “I keep thinking about Garrett. It’s not even funny. I’m like…obsessed with him,” I told her. “I’m going crazy. I mean, I love Pat and I want him to be my boyfriend, but Garrett is like…—”
She cut me off. “I know what you’re trying to say. You love both Garrett and Pat.”
“I do. And I don’t know what to do. Should I just break up with Pat and just push them out of my life? Or do you think it’s just an infatuation that I’ll get over?”
“One: NO! DO NOT BREAK UP WITH PAT AND DO NOT PUSH THEM AWAY. They’re great guys and you’ll regret it if you just try to forget them. Two: I don’t even know. It may be. Garrett’s charming, so maybe it’s just that little fangirl inside of you who’s making you obsessed with him.”
I bit my lower lip. “Should I tell Pat? Should I tell Garrett?” I paced back and forth.
“Calm down, Danni.” Sierra grabbed my arm and stopped my walking. “Frankly, I think you should tell Pat and Garrett. Both of them should know.”
“But I just want to tell Pat so he could tell me what I should do.”
“I’d think that it would be hard to tell Garrett after you tell Pat.”
“But what if I don’t want to tell Garrett?”
“I’m sorry, honey, but I don’t know what to say. I can’t tell you what to do.”
“You’re right. I’m in control of my life.” I unlocked the door and walked out. “I’m just going to tell Pat and see what his reaction is, so I could get it over with.” I marched toward Pat, Sierra right behind me.
Pat looked at me and raised his eyebrows. “Danni, you alright?” he asked as I abruptly stopped in front of him.
“I need to speak to you,” I told him, pulling him to the side.
