-Jason's POV-
Almost everyone had gone back to their tents except for Melissa.
I'd been avoiding and ignoring my feelings for her so I felt this was a good opportunity to confess finally.
Suddenly, she got up and it felt like my plan was failing.
Out of the confusion on how to stop her, I just held her wrist.
Her confused expression made me nervous but I tried my best to regain the courage.
"Just stay here," I pleaded. "Please!"
There was some silence until she spoke up.
"Why?"
My heart started to race and I gulped.
"Please!" I pleaded even more and slightly pulled her wrist.
Ouch, did that pain for her? Um, it must've, oops!
She uninterestedly sat down.
"Um, I kinda had to tell you something," I looked down because I was too nervous.
I could feel drops of sweat dripping down my forehead.
"Yeah? Tell me!"
I didn't respond for some time so there was some silence. Why? Because what I was gonna say next required some strength within me.
"Uh, Melissa! The truth is," I mumbled and our eyes locked. "That I-I'm in love with you." I stuttered and she looked stunned.
There, I finally said it! But wait, what if I get reject-
"Yeah, right!" she scoffed.
Well, I might get rejected, shit!
Honestly, her reaction hurt me but I couldn't blame her. After all, I did hurt her too.
I held her hands
"I'm serious."
"I'm sure this is just one of your dares again. I'm not falling for thi—"
But, it wasn't a dare this time though.
"It's not. It's not a dare. I'm being genuine!"I sighed.
I hope she believes me.
There wasn't any response from her so I understood that I owed her an explanation.
"Look," I paused. "I've made mistakes, many mistakes. And, well, I'm sorry because it broke your heart. But that dare— the kiss dare wasn't actually a dare."
I gulped again and waited for her response.
She raised an eyebrow. "W-What?"
Without hesitating, I continued.
