Myriad- Daniel Seavey

12.

Group rounds started at 2:00, so we could sleep in.
I woke up at 10:00, and went on my phone for a few minutes to wake myself up.
Daniels instagram had 7k now!
One day hes gonna reach 100k and im gonna be so proud, i thought to myself before putting my phone back on the little bedside table and rolling over in bed to go back to sleep.
i ended up falling asleep until 11:00, and when i awoke, Daniel was up and scrolling on his iphone.
I sat up to go over and tackle him, but something stopped me.
"Oh fuck," i moaned and fell back in bed, clutching my stomach.
"Are you okay?" Daniel asked with his raspy morning voice, a look of concern filling his face.
"I think its my period, im fine," i assured him.
I ran to the bathroom to of course, take care of it, and went back to my comforting bed.
i sat up against the pillows and headboard, and clutched my stomach again.
Daniel, still shirtless may i add, sat down next to me.
He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a hug.
"I will be fine later. its usually worse in the morning for me," i said quietly.
i rested my head on his shoulder and he intertwined his hand with mine.
"Im gonna take a shower," i said after a few minutes.
He kissed my cheek and he got up and went back in his bed.
I gathered up clothes that i would need, so that way i wouldnt need to come back out of the bathroom wearing only a towel.
The hot water flowed comfortingly over my sore body and soothed me.
i sighed contentedly and my stomach clenched again.
"Fuck," i whispered to myself.
After my shower, i got dressed and brushed my teeth.
Since it was a period day, i was just wearing leggings and a hoodie. Nothing special.
I didnt bother with makeup.
My skin was clear, so i didnt need concealer or anything.
i stepped out of the bathroom and went back into our room.
"Daniel, what do you want to do today?" i asked as i walked into our room.
He was on his bed, still on his phone, but didnt give me a reply.
"Daniel?" i asked again.
"What?" he snapped, and i shrank back.
"Um, nevermind." i said shakily.
i brushed out my hair and sat down on my bed.
"What do you want to do today?" i tried again.
"I dont know," he said bluntly.
"Whats your problem?" i asked, annoyed.
"Whats YOUR problem?" Daniel challenged back.
"I fucking didnt do anything!" i yelled at him and left the room.
Anger and frusteration pulsed through my body as i made myself a bowl of cereal.
"What was that about?" Keri asked as i sat down.
"Hes angry at me for no reason," i said truthfully.
Keri looked concerned, "Hes usually always smiling though."
i shrugged and ate my cereal.
i finished and went back to talk to Daniel.
"Why are you mad at me?" i asked him.
"Like you dont know," He replied bluntly.
i was so confused and he looked up at me.
Quietly, he held his phone up to me.
There was a plain black photo posted on my instagram.
I snatched his phone and sat down next to him and read what supposedly "I" posted.
It was a huge paragraph on my instagram saying horrifying things about Daniel.
"I-I didnt," i stuttered as i handed the phone back to him.
"So you were hacked?" he said softly.
"My password was really easy." i muttered and went on my phone to my instagram.
As soon as i opened up the app, it logged me out.
"Shit," i mumbled and tried to log back in.
'Incorrect Password' popped up.
"I was hacked," i said and sent a change- password email.
His eyes widened, "Can you get it back?"
i nodded, "I sent a password email."
"What was your old password?" he asked.
"Aubree123," i answered and giggled.
"Aubree! No wonder you got hacked!" He laughed with me.
a few moments of silence went by before Daniel asked me, "So you didnt say those horrible things about me?"
"No, i would never." i replied and placed my hand on his cheek and hugged him.
"I-I cant believe someone would say those things about me," he said softly.
"And none of it was true," i said and looked at him.
"Youre amazing, i love you so much," i continued and hugged him.
"Im sorry, i was a douche," he apologized.
"Its okay, i understand," i said then kissed him.
His kissed felt so unreal.
Butterflies erupted in my stomach; my hands went around the back of his neck.
His hands went to my waist.
He started to kiss down my jaw, to my collarbone.
He kissed one spot over and over.
I breathed out and squeezed my eyes shut before opening them and telling him to stop.
His blue eyes met my blue ones.
He has the most beautiful eyes.
Our foreheads touched and he whispered to me, "I love you."
"I love you too."
A FEW HOURS LATER//
We were sitting in the room where groups were to be held.
We applauded group after group.
Team Dimples was so impressive!
Daniels group finally was called up.
They explained their group name and was recieved with laughter.
They started singing and my eyes widened.
They were so good!
Although Daniel had a small part, he killed it.
hes so talented.
It was announced that all of LKYCO was through to the next round, and i jumped up and down in excitement.
Afterward, Daniel introduced me to the group.
"Aubree, this is Savion, Trevor, and Qaasim." He introduced me.
They were all really sweet.
Trevor was pretty cute.
Hey, i can still have opinions, even though im taken.
We had moved hotels to the one where everybody stayed in, so later that night, we all hung out.
I met Jaq from Team Dimples, a girl named Adanna, and Lovey.
They are all such nice people.
A nice ending to a nice day.
