Chelsea's POV
Chelsea was on a plane to America. She didn't know how she had gotten here, but she knew that she couldn't pursue a relationship with Matt unless she knew that she and Daniel were completely over. She wasn't even sure that she loved Daniel anymore, but she needed to lay this relationship to rest.
Landing a few hours later, she drove six hours to Daniel's address. He was living in a little apartment near Yale. She parked and ran up several flights of steps, knocking on Daniel's door.
"Chelsea?" Daniel's shocked voice answered her.
"Daniel. I just need to know if you love me. Do you even feel anything for me?" Chelsea asked, tears rolling down her face.
"Chels, I'm sorry. I just don't have time to fit you into my life right now." Daniel said quietly. Chelsea shook her head up and down with an air of resignation.
"Fine. That's all I needed to know." She turned and ran down the stairs.
Daniel's POV
Standing there, Daniel felt so stupid. Why had he told her that? He still loved her. He was so stupid. Realizing this, he grabbed his coat and raced to the nearest airport. Running up to the desk of the flight that Chelsea was on, he panted trying to catch his breath.
"Ma'am? The plane?" He questioned.
"Sorry sir. It left ten minutes ago." She said, smiling at him.
"Okay, thank you." Daniel said. And at that moment, he knew he had lost her.
Chelsea's POV
Stepping off the plane in England, Chelsea drove straight to Matt's house. Knocking on the door, she waited in the rain.
"Chelsea?" Matt's surprised voice greeted her. He saw her tears and pulled her into his strong arms, closing the door behind her. Walking into the apartment, he sat her down on the couch, and the whole story came tumbling out. Chelsea sat there crying, and Matt held her.
"I love you Matt," Chelsea whispered. Matt looked down at her in disbelief.
"What?" He asked.
"I love you." She repeated. He leaned down then and kissed her. When she finally broke the kiss, she leaned onto his chest.
"Matt, I want to take things a little slower. I'm having a bit of a hard time with fears of rejection. It's not really you, it's just pent up feelings. I'm working on it, but you need to be patient with me." She sighed.
"Chels, I will never, ever, leave you. I promise." He held her tightly as they both sat there, thinking of their own hurts.
The next morning Chelsea ran down the steps leading up to her apartment. Today was job hunting day. She needed a job. She called up her best friend there, Danielle. She and Danielle had met in the mall, about three weeks before. Even though they hadn't known each other for that long, shockingly enough, they clicked immediately, and Chelsea was amazed at how well they got along. She told Danielle everything, and Danielle was always there to listen.
"Hey Dani?" Chelsea used her nickname for Danielle.
"Hey Chels! What's up?" Danielle's cheerful voice came over the line.
"I need a job, and I really don't want to go around applying everywhere by myself. Can you come with me?" Chelsea inquired.
"Sure, but only on one condition." Danielle's laughter was a welcome tonic.
"What's that?" Chelsea asked
"We include shopping in this day out." Danielle replied.
"Oh my gosh girl! Do you think there will ever be a day when you can go out without shopping?" Chelsea giggled. "You have at least twelve pairs of black heels alone!" Chelsea said teasingly.
"Well, a girl can never have enough!" Danielle retorted.
"I guess! Meet you at the café in twenty?" Chelsea said.
"Sure! See ya!"
Okay, well, I know it wasn't that long, but it's still an update!! Please review!!
