Always Out of Reach

Memories

"Daniel! What the hell are you doing?" We had just arrived at school.

"Trust me." He said putting his hands over my eyes so I couldn't see.

"Urgh fine." I gave up begging him to tell me what was going on and let him guide me through the school. After a while I lost track of where we were.

"Are we there yet?" I asked getting tired of being blindfolded.

"Nearly." Daniel laughed. He was loving this. "Right, open." He removed his hands from my face.

We were in the school changing rooms. I looked at Daniel confused.

"What are we doing in some smelly changing rooms?" I laughed.

"Oi, a lot of effort went into this. Just wait." Daniel pretended to be offended. "Joey, I don't know if you remember, but this was where I first started to...flirt? With you." He laughed.

"Of course I remember, you idiot. I almost died with embarrassment when you caught me staring at you." I blushed at the thought. "You were Mr. Popular....i was just Joey."

"It's amazing. ...after all this time I can still make you blush." He grinned at me.

"Shut up!" I smacked him on the arm.

"Anyway....look under the bench." I did as he asked and found an envelope.

Go to the place you told me everything.

I knew exactly what he meant. I went straight out of the changing rooms and made my way to the main corridor. This was the place I told Daniel everything. All about my dad, all about James. Everything. It was bitter sweet memories. Sad because of the nature of it, happy because it was the first time I opened up to anyone.

Memories came flooding back. I still can't get over how Daniel had a go at the teacher.

Sure enough, I found another envelope stuck to the wall.

To where I chose you

Again...I knew exactly what he meant. I made my way further up the corridor. Images flashed through my mind of Hunter and his gang beating me up. Daniel defending me....choosing me over them. On the envelope two words were written.

Final envelope.

Authors note:

The next chapter is the last. Then I was thinking of doing a Scomiche fanfic.🤔 Let me know what you think.
