Description: Gina was starting to think that earning the love of Lucas would be impossible.
AN: Sorry if this seems a bit short but hope you like it! I wanted to try writing a short oneshot because it'll get done quicker but it may seem a little rushed, so I apologize. The next one will be longer! This is set when Gina first falls in love with Lucas.
Gina's POV
I never thought that love could be so amazing, yet so painful. I had always taught myself to believe that nothing was impossible but, lately, that belief was starting to dwindle away.
Each time I saw him, my heart would beat a little faster upon seeing his carefree smile as he hung out with his friends. I wished, more than anything, that I could make him smile like that. Unfortunately I wasn't very skilled in the arts of comedy and I seemed to be rendered incapable of speech whenever he got near me.
I wanted to be able to talk to him without tripping over my words, even if it was just a "Hi, Lucas, how are you doing?" I wanted him to see me as the bright, funny, caring girl I was rather than as "Jessica's best friend." That was how everyone saw me; I was too shy to be myself, especially around him.
Every time he walked away, politely making up some excuse, my heart would fill with sorrow and I would question my belief. There was something that was impossible, although it pained me to admit it, and that was love.
I wasn't one to give up and hide myself away, though. I was determined to earn his love, no matter how long it took. I wanted to prove that, maybe, I was wrong and love was possible.
Someday I would have reason to believe again, and he would be there beside me for eternity.
