Honesty

"Hey sleepy we're at your house."
"Hey."
He pulls her hair to the back of your ear
"Can you stay over?"
"I'll try okay I just really don't want my parents to find out I've been sneaking out."
"I get it if something happens let me know."
"I will."
"I love you thanks for the ride."
Daniel kisses her."
"I love you."
Alexis heads to her room to shower
"Hey, Mom Daniel brought me home."
"That's good tell his parents I said hi."
"I will."
Alexis goes ahead and takes a bath
An hour later Daniel calls her
"Hey, you changed your mind?"
"Yeah I'm on my way I showered and brought a bag and everything I'll see you in five minutes."
Daniel gets a call from his mom.
"Hey Mom what's up."
"Where are you?"
"I'm out driving to Josh's house why?"
"How come you're never home you're always out with friends or your girlfriend.."
"Mom you and Dad are always working I'm trying to finish high school and live my life I'll call you later Mom bye."
Daniel arrives at Alexis' house he knocks on the window
"Hey, you're back."
"Did you ever eat the food I gave you?"
"I did tell your brother it was really good."
"I will."
"Hey, is everything okay?"
"Yeah, my mom is kind of suspecting I'm not home all the time and she says that I'm spending too much time with you and my friends..."
Alexis gently touches his face
"Hey, you shouldn't worry so much about what your mom thinks she should let you live your life she's probably worried you don't spend time enough with her or your dad or something."
"You're probably right but I also think because since Hunter left for school they look at me and wonder hey why don't do this like Hunter why don't you like the same things as Hunter they've always compared me to him and since I'm there last kid and always ask me what I want to do with my life or follow in their footsteps I just feel like there's so much pressure put upon me and I feel like I don't know who to be or how to live up to there expectations."
Alexis hugs Daniel
"What's this for?"
"You seem like you need it."
"Thank you for being here I've never told anyone that."
"I will always be here for you."
"I love you so much I will do the same for you forever and always."
"So you admit?"
"Admit what?"
"You like me."
"I will tackle you again."
"No, you're crazy."
"Okay."
Daniel tackles her again
"Dan you're freaking insane."
"I know I am and you're so right because I'm completely in love with you I'm going to miss you so much."
"I will too can you please get off me."
"Okay I'm sorry but I'm serious I'll be so miserable without you."
"I will miss every day too Howard."
Daniel smiles at Alexis.
"Say it again."
"I will miss you, Howard."
He kisses her
"You blushed because I called you by your last name?"
"How'd you know?"
"I like it I gave you a nickname so you give me one."
"You do?"
"I do."
Daniel gets a phone call from his mom.
"What the hell."
"Is everything okay?"
"I'm sorry I have to take this."
"Go ahead."
"Mom, what's up?"
