Were the tears a mark of insecurity? No…this can't be happening. I can't let it happen. Was I just afraid that I am in the selection from which I am going astray? Was I afraid that if Maxon finds out that I liked dancing with Daniel then he may start being suspicious of me? Was I afraid that I am going to lose Maxon? No…this was not my fear. Then what was it….

Was I just afraid of Maxon finding about me and Daniel? But…no…we haven't done anything yet. Was it nothing? I mean…the feeling that I have about him. Was it worth nothing? Didn't I feel anything unusual for him that may be not-so-good for me if Maxon finds out? Didn't he have any feelings for me? Or didn't we share the same kind of attachment and feelings for each other?

No…this was really a BLUNDER. I have let it flow out of me.

But, this is illegal…totally illegal.

Am I in love with DANIEL?

What the heck?

"Hey…wait." Daniel spoke touching my shoulder and sending me butterflies all the way down to my belly.

"What now?" I asked.

I was awestruck by what I saw….

Daniel was so much disheartened that his eyes were full of tears. And oh my god…he looked so handsome in this creepy outlook. I just can't stop this giggling feeling in my heart by looking at him.

"I…um…." I spoke hesitantly but he cut me off.

"You didn't even hear what I had to say." He spoke.

I tried to touch his cheek while he was getting down but I didn't have the courage. I couldn't even tell him that I was really sorry for what happened and that what he did on my birthday was nothing bad or wrong. I wanted to tell him that I loved so much dancing along with him and he sent an unusual and rarest of rare feelings in the world to me heart that I wanted to secure with a lock. I wanted him to know how much I liked spending time with him and being close to his warmth and even tasting his breath. Right now I just wanted to pick him up from the ground where his heart was being crushed and he was shattered. I wanted to hug him so tightly that we may never ever fall apart. I wanted to kiss him until the day comes up. I want to stay inside my bed and inside his warmth and explore all his secrets till he aches to find mine. I wanted to lift him up and dance with him till the moon and stars are alive. I wanted to show him that he has not been loved before. I want him to feel with one kiss how I can make love to his soul for eternity. I really wanted to go to the peak and yell in front of the whole world that I LOVED HIM more than anything in the world.

Now he was going towards the garden and I followed him without thinking.

"Hey, wait up for me." I spoke but he didn't even seem to lower his pace.

He sat on a bench and I sat next to him looking hi in the eye.

"My life is not worth happiness." He spoke.

At this point, I wanted to kiss him and tell him that he is worth everything that he wants in the world.

"I thought…you would understand what I feel." He spoke.

I knew he was broken so I decided to listen to him.

"So…tell me." I touched his hand.

"When I am with you, I feel safe from the things that hurt me. There was a lot going inside of me before time but when I found this part of you that energizes me in an instant I kind of started a new life and wanted to explore more of you. But you took that away from me in an instant and that killed my soul." He spoke softly.

"Hey…don't." I spoke and he continued afterwards.

"You were like the person who entered in my life from…nowhere but suddenly meant the world to me. From that time on…I decided to devote my life to you. In my opinion, if I ever did anything right in my life it was when I gave my heart to you." he spoke.

"Daniel…I know you are hurt." I spoke.

"So, what…America. I don't think you give a damn about It." he spoke.

"You know nothing…Daniel. It's not just about us." I spoke a bit louder.

"Then about who?" he shouted.

"You don't remember, I am in the selection and this is where I stand now." I spoke.
