All My Trials

All My Trials: Part 10

By the end of the day, I'm exhausted. Daniel leads me out to his car and helps me in. I hear him get in on the other side, but he doesn't start the engine. I look in what I think his direction is.
"Daniel?" I ask.
"Yes?" He replies.
"Why haven't you started the car?"
"I wanted to talk to you."
Ohmysweetgoodness is he breaking up with me?
"Uhhhhmmmm okay." I say trying to keep my voice steady.
"I wanted to let you know how much I love you." He takes my hand. "I KNOW that it's been a rough day, but no matter what, know that I will be here for you and plan to for the rest of your life." I tear up.
"Daniel--"
"No. Don't say anything. Just let me kiss you." I blush.
"Okay." I choke out. His fingers touch my chin and he move his mouth to mine. When we pull back I smile in his general direction. I feel his car start up, and he makes his way to my house.
I feel him pull into my drive and he helps me out. We make our way up the steps and into the house. He takes off my backpack and helps me bring it into my room.
"Do you need help with homework?" He asks me.
"Yeah." I say. "Uuuuhhmmm... yeah. You might need to, uh, read me the answers and write down my questions." I think for a minute. "Wait I mean--"
"I got it." He says. He leads me to my bed and I scoot until I'm laying against the wall. I hear him settle down beside me. "Okay... so chemistry first?" he asks.
"Sure." I say. I hear the front door open and someone walk in.
"It's mom!" my mom shouts.
"Daniel and I are in my bedroom!" I shout.
"Okay!" my mom shouts. "Is the door open?"
I blush like crazy.
"Yes, mom!" I shout. "The door is open, Daniel, right?" I whisper to him.
"Yes it is." He whispers.
For some reason this makes me blush harder. "M'kay." I whisper.
We struggle through my homework. The time comes for Daniel to leave and he leads me to the door.
"I love you, Danny." I say.
"I love you too, Cosie." He replies, taking my chin and pecking me lightly on the nose. I smile and hug him. "Goodbye, Cosie." He whispers. I feel him walk away and hear him drive away. I use my cane to make my way to the kitchen.
"What do you want for dinner, Cosie?" Mom asks me.
"I think I'm just going to throw my pajamas on and go to bed." I say after a moment's hesitation.
"Okayyyy..." My mom says. I make my way back to my bedroom and struggle through getting my clothes on. Everything is a struggle these days.
I open my door and make my way to my bed. I through myself into it and fall asleep almost immediately.
