DANNYS POV
We have today off, yet I find myself waking up early anyways. I barely got any sleep last night because I keep thinking about her. The image of her and Drew together has been permanently burned into my mind, haunting me every waking second. I ploddingly rise from my bed and force myself to get dressed. I got my mom to call me in sick yesterday so that I wouldn't have to see her face, but here I was at home, thinking about nothing other than the way her eyes shut when she throws her head back in laughter, the adorable frowns she gives me when I tease her, her perfect features, inside and out, and the way things used to be.
"I'm going for a walk." I shout down the hall as I step outside into the summery air. I plug in my earbuds and stuff my hands in my pockets. I need to clear my mind. I need to stop thinking about her if I'm going to try and get over her. Let's think about other things. I remember last summer Paul and I went to the beach almost every day because there were these really cute girls who continually showed up at the same time as us. We never actually ended up talking to them, but they were nice to observe from afar. The one that I liked has long brown hair, not quite as dark as Macies, a cute smile, but not as cute as Macies, and was overall super pretty. Not as pretty as Macie though. Dammit! I need to stop thinking about her.

MACIES POV
It's not even 10:00am yet, so I assume that Garret and Sam are still asleep in his room. I go to the bathroom and fix myself up, get dressed and text Garret telling him that I'm going for a walk. My black skinny jeans, black sweater and black converse perfectly sum up my feelings. I do my makeup and take my hair out of the braid that it was in to reveal perfect waves, then grab my phone, earbuds and purse and head downstairs. I put my hood up and walk out the front door, loud music blaring into my ears.
I've made so many both good and bad memories here in Maryland, that I'll never forget. I've met so many wonderful people, who mean more to me than anything in the world, just as well as I have met people who I couldn't care less for. Over the past few months I've fallen in love, finally achieved my dream of getting into NYU and felt the pain of true heartache. Although my past is not perfect, it's my own and I wouldn't change a thing. All the things that have happened have helped mold me into this stronger version of myself. Everyday is a fresh start, so I don't see why today can't be mine?
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" I apologize to the person I just ran into and knocked the phone out of their hand. "Did it crack?" They quickly reach down and swoop up the phone, scurrying away without a word. The hood from their sweater concealed part of their face, but the adorableness of their nose is a dead giveaway. "Danny?" I chase after him. He doesn't stop walking until I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Leave me alone." He growls.
"Danny, we need to talk."
"Ya, well I don't want to talk. Just do me a solid and fuck right off." He starts walking again. I almost don't follow him, but cave into my stubborn nature.
"No! I'm not going to fuck off until you tell me what's wrong!" He stops dead in his tracks and speaks in a dark, angry voice, without turning around.
"Go away."
"No!" I walk around to his front. "What did I do? Why are you treating me like this? I'm trying really hard to not cause a scene right now, but I'm so done with all this bullshit and I want you to tell me what's going on!" I stomp my foot. I was trying my best not to cry, but couldn't hold it back anymore after the first sentence.
"You can't be serious right now? You actually don't know that I know?" He speaks harshly and rolls his eyes.
"No! I don't even know what you mean!" I shout, having lost my attempt to control my anger.
"Don't act fucking stupid! I know all about you and your little fuck buddy Drew!" He yells back louder. What? What's he talking about?
"Wait, you think I'm sleeping with Drew?" He stays silent and crosses his arms. "You actually think I've been hooking up with Drew?"
"I know you're fucking him, so please let's just stop talking about it!" He tries to walk away, but I stick out my arm to refrain him from leaving.
"No! First of all, I don't know where you got this whole Drew idea from, but it's absolute bullshit! And even if I was hooking up with someone, which I'm not, it would be none of your fucking business!" I see a pang of hurt in his eyes, but it's quickly masked by fury.
"You guys talk, like all the time! He asks you out every single fucking day!"
"And I say no!"
"I saw you kiss him!" My heart stops for a second.
"What do you mean?" I ask, even though I know perfectly well what he's addressing.
"After school on Wednesday. I waited for you so I could drive you home and I saw you kiss him."
"Danny, I didn't kiss him..."
"Oh really? So what were your lips doing on his then?"
"He kissed me! And I told him off after!"
"Ya, well-"
"Oh my god Danny! Just save it! You know, I called you that night to tell you that I still loved you, but I'm actually glad that you never allowed me to get stuck that far up my own ass! Saying that I love you, or even moderately like you, would be a lie. I fucking hate you Danny Edge."
And just like that, the boy with the anchor sank me.
