Broken inside

Chapter 3

Lizzy POV
      I wake up next to Daniel, who's sound asleep. I look at him, wanting to wake him up to say thank you. But I won't, he's looks to peaceful. I slowly get out of bed, trying not to wake Daniel. I look back at him and that's when I realized, he's shirtless. I mean he's my best friend, but wow. His toned body is almost see-through through the sheets.
Since he's not awake, I might as well get dressed. I go to my closet and see what I have to wear. I grab my darkish green crop top and my leggings. I take off my clothes from last night and start to put on my new clothes. Once I got those on I go back to my closet and get my camo jacket, it's my favorite jacket. I wear it all the time. I remember that Daniel got this for me, for my birthday. It was my favorite gift I got that year. Even Tyler's gift didn't out match that. The thing about that jacket was I've always wanted one since I was a kid, but I never got one. Tyler gave me a bracelet, but it was crappy. The crystals fell off it in a week. I threw it out, it was terrible. But the jacket stayed in perfect shape.
      I look back at Daniel who is still asleep. I need to wake him up, we will be late for school. I go over to him and I'm about to shake him, but he looks so peaceful. So I decide not to, he'll wake up eventually. Besides I don't want to go to school. I turn around and I feel something grab my waist and pull me backwards onto the bed. I yelp and I hear laughing, Daniel.
      "Oh look who's finally awake," I say. He grips me tighter. "Who said I wasn't awake, maybe I was faking," he smirks. "Wait you mean, you saw me change," I say blushing. My face becomes red hot as I look at Daniel. He just grins and says, "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. We'll never know." And cross my arms and Daniel laughs. "Ok you can let go of me now. We need to get to school," I say squirming. "Ugh do we have to. Why. Can't we just stay here, it's cozy," says Daniel. "We can't skip school," I say. "But Lizzy...," Daniel groans. I laugh and squirm again, he tightens his grip. He starts to stand up, still holding me.
     The sheets lift off him, reveling his six pack. My face gets red again and I cover it. "Ha you like what you see? Come on you've seen me shirtless before. What's the big deal," says Daniel. "What! Oh um nothing...no I don't care that your shirtless," I say stumbling with my words.
    "Mm mh, that's what hey all say," says Daniel. "Ok now can you put me down," I say pleading. "Not until you say the magic words," he says grinning deviously. We made up magic words as kids if something like this ever happens. "Ugh ok...Daniel is the best, he's better than they rest. He's the only guy for me, and everyone can see," I say. "That's better. And you know that's true," says Daniel. He puts me down and I brush off myself. Daniel pulls out his drawer, yes he has his own drawer at my place. We like having sleepovers, it's not weird for us. Sure we aren't the same gender, but that fine.
   He puts on jeans and a t-shirt. "Okay, let's go," he says. We grab our bags. Just before we walk out the door I say, "Thanks again, for staying with me." "Anytime princess. I'm always here for you. I'm your man, and your best friend," says Daniel with a smile. We walk out the door. 
     Next stop, school.
