Naomi's POV

Daniel and I left out of my house and walked towards his car. He opened my door and let me in, closing it behind me.

"Thanks for being there with me Daniel, it meant a lot." I told him with a small smile when he got in and brought the engine to life.

"Yeah no problem, anytime Nae." He slowly and carefully backed out of the driveway and onto the road. After about 10 minutes, I spoke "You have an aux cord on you?" I asked.

Daniel pointed to the middle console. "It should be in here." I opened up the console and grabbed it out hooking it up and turned on my music.

"Don't play any of that weak stuff in my car though Nae." He joked. "Boy hush my music be turnt."

I scrolled down my music and put on 'Sorry' by Beyonće. "Aye, this my song, don't judge just listen." Daniel nodded his head. "Okay, I won't judge." He said with his hands up. We were at a stop light.

The light turned green and we began driving again and soon we were drive down a long dirt road listening to Bey.

"Um..Daniel where's the road? Like the regular road, with street lights, and stop signs? This is great and all but-" He cut me off.

"Naomi chill I'm not taking you into the forest to kill you, you'll see in about 5 minutes."

I decided to just watch the scenery, stare at the grass, and examine the clouds while the music faded out.

It was actually really pretty out here now that we've been driving for a while. At first you wouldn't have thought so but it's really nice.

"Here hook up my phone, play some of my music, it's pretty lit." He handed me his phone. "Are you calling my music taste horrible?" I held my chest.
"How rude?"

"You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna cry, because you're hurting my feelings." I told him. I started to make my lip quiver and I then put my hands over my face and fake sobbed.

"Woooow ok, really Naomi, fine but I get the aux on the way back." He said.

"Boo Yah! I won..nevermind, no I didn't because we're here." I said defeated.

"Awww it's ok, don't be sad because I won. Come on let's go, it's nice out here." He parked the car and unbuckled his seat belt. "Ok, fine." I took off my seat belt as well and opened my door.

Daniel locked the car and grabbed my hand dragging me to where ever it was he wanted to show me. "Be careful is kind of rocky." He continued pulling me along and soon stopped causing my to crash into his back.

"Oh well that's great." I laughed. "You good? Your face okay?" He chuckled turning around examining it. " Yes it's fine and you smell good. "

He popped his imaginary collar. "You know I gotta stay fresh for the ladies."
I laughed. "Boy where?"

He shook his head. "Come on, hop up on this rock, the view looks better." I climbed up after him needing some help due to my lack of upper body strength.

"Woah..Daniel, this is gorgeous. How did you find this place?" I gawked.

"I was just driving one day, took the wrong turn and ended up here. I was gonna turn around but, I kept on going." He told me sitting down. I sat beside him

"It helps me clear my mind, you know and to think. And sometimes when I feel like no one is listening to me or I feel damaged or insecure, I come here and I just scream and let it all out. And other times I just wanna be alone, but this is the spot." He explained.

"Well I like it, you might even catch me here now." I nudged him. It became silent for a while, just us enjoying the scenery and thinking to ourselves.

Having this boy as a friend is so..crazy, mindblowing people. He hasn't switched up on me or anything. He's there when I need him to be and he doesn't care what other people think. And to think he's only been my friend for about 4 weeks now along with his family. This is a blesssing.

"You okay?" He asked me. I turned to see him looking at me with concerned filled eyes. "Yes, I'm fine. Just thinking." "What about?"

"Why haven't you swirched up on me? Why are you my friend? Why does your family love me? Why do you wan to continue to be my friend? Why do you care so much? Why do you look out for me like you do?" I ranted.

"Because,I know what it feels like to have someone say that they'll be your friend forever and then they go and stab you in the back. Because everyone needs someone they can depend on. Because you're different and I know that you wouldn't do me like how anyone has ever done you. Because everyone needs at least one person to care. Because that's part of my job as your bestfriend." He stated answering every one of my questions.

"Thanks Dan." I hugged him. "I say thank you a lot but its only beacause I mean it, but thank you for being someoe to call on and someone to lean on, honestly." He hugged me back and was silent.

"Look the sun is setting." He pointed.

We sat and watched for a few before checking the time. "My place and pizza?" I asked. " Yeah sure, don't want you to get in trouble for not being back at a decent hour." We jumped off the rock, which wasn't that far from the ground and walked back to Daniel's car.

He opened my door and then got in on his side. He plugged in the aux cord to his phone and I buckled my seat belt. Daniel then did his and brought the engine to life.

We started driving and he pressed play on his music. It was Drake. 'With You' played through the speakers and the sun began to fully set. It was about 7 now and we were almost out of 'the spot'. Daniel made a few turns as we got closer to my house and rapped and sung along with the track.

"It's about us right now, girl, where you going? I'm with you." I sung. "Aye ok ok I hear you, with them vocals." We laughed and continued with the song until it turned off and the next one played. (A/N: VIEWS 🔥)

We pulled up to my house and Daniel killed the engine, undid his seat belt, and came around the other side to help me out. "Thank you my faithful stooge." I patted his head.

"Really Nae? I see how it is." He laughed and walked with me to my door so that I could unlock it and followed me in. My mom and dad were on the couch watching movies and turned to greet us.

"Hey you two, did you have fun?" My mom asked all perky. I laughed. "Yes momma, we had fun. But I- well we were- well I was-" I repeatedly cut myself off not knowing how to word my sentence. "Sorry, I meant to say could Daniel stay here and watch movies with me and we order pizza until like 9?" I asked.

My dad looked at me, and then Dan. "Um.. I don't see why not just, don't try anything, you hear me?" My face turned red. "Dad, really? We aren't like that, he's my bestfriend but yes sir I understand."

Daniel nodded. "As do I, I wouldn't want to disrespect anyone's home, because, my old man is crazy." He chuckled slightly but my father knew he understood.

"Well go on ahead youngins." My mom shooed us away. "My card is in my room on the dresser if you need it Nae-Bear." Daniel objected. "I got it Momma G." That was Daniel's nickname for her. "You sure son?". I swear they loved embarrassing me.

"Yes ma'am, I'm positive." He nodded.
We then continued upstairs and into my room to pick out movies. "Let the movie marathon in Nae's room being." I joked. Daniel laughed at my corny joke and I went over to the shelf to began looking for a movie while he ordered pizza from the nearest pizza place.
