Over Again

<Chloe>
I wake up and fall off my bed. What a way to wake up. I reach my hand out to grab my phone and my phone falls on the ground. Wow this day just keeps getting better and better! Note the sarcasm. I got up off the ground and grabbed my phone. I looked down to see that it had a crack. Great. I put my phone on my bed and go to the bathroom to do my morning routine. Then I went back to my room and changed into some workout clothes. I didn't workout yesterday so I'm just gonna workout twice as hard. I grab my phone and do my hair in the bathroom. I decide to just do a high ponytail and put on a hat (Outfit above). I then walk downstairs and go into the kitchen.
"Hey ma." I say hugging her.
"Good morning Chloe." She says smiling.
"Whatcha doing?" I asked.
"Making breakfast! Where are you going?" She asked.
"I'm gonna go work out at the gym. I didn't work out yesterday." I said grabbing my water bottle.
"Okay then have fun!" She said.
"Maybe not fun but I will be in pain!" I said laughing and walking out the door.
I locked the door and rode my penny board to the gym. It was like a few blocks away. I was riding down the sidewalk and suddenly i hear someone coming and stop. I trip and fall down.
"Oh my gosh! Are you okay?" I heard someone say.
"Oh, uh, yeah. I think I'm fine." I said getting up and seeing Daniel. "Oh, hey Daniel!"
"Hey Chloe! Where you headed to?" He asked smiling.
"I'm gonna go workout. How about you?" I asked.
"I'm gonna workout too. I didn't want to but the guys were doing nothing and so I wanted to try something different." He said smirking.
"Oh wow okay." I said giggling. "Well wanna come with me?" I asked.
"Sure!" He said smiling. " I don't have a penny board tho. But I do have a skateboard! Lemme go get it." He said walking back inside his house.
I waited outside and looked around. These guys have a real nice view in their backyard. I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard Daniel call me.
"Chloe, wanna come inside and wait? It's really hot out." He said smiling.
"Um, sure!" I said back and walked inside.
I walked in to see Jonah and Jack playing 2k and Corbyn and Zach in the kitchen playing Daniel's guitar. They all looked up at me.
"Ayeee!" They all said at the same time.
"Ayeee!" I said back laughing.
They all got up and hugged me. Really tight.
"G-guyss. C-can't bre-eath." I said.
"Oh right sorry." They all said and let go except for Zach.
"Zach. Zach? Zach!" Jack said.
"What oh God sorry!" He said letting go.
I laughed and saw Daniel come down the stairs.
"Alright Chloe ready?" He said walking up to the door.
"Uh yea!" I said.
"Bye Chloee!" The guys all said at the same time.
"Byee guysss!" I said and walked out with Daniel.
We put our boards down and started riding to the gym. It was completely silent until Daniel finally spoke.
"So do you like work out everyday?" Daniel asked.
"Yeah. I'm just trying to loose some weight." I said looking down.
"What weight? Gurrrlll you're a stick! If you loose anything else you'll be all bones!" He said sassy.
I laughed and blushed looking down. I saw through the corner of my eye that Daniel was looking at me with a frown. He's so sweet. I stopped and hoped off my penny board and Daniel hoped off his skate board. Before I walked inside Daniel put his fingers under my chin lifting it up.
"Hey. You're not fat, you're not ugly, you're not anything like that. What you are is beautiful. No matter what anyone says or does, never ever think otherwise. Okay? Don't put yourself down. You are beautiful. Never forget that." Daniel said smiling.
I smiled and blushed. Really hard. We shared eye contact for a few seconds and then he let go of my chin. He gave me a hug and then we walked inside. We put our boards down on the floor and started working out.

  ~~~~~~~~Skip to after workout~~~~~~

We were all sweaty after the workout and we were super hungry.
"Hey Danny, wanna go eat something?" I asked grabbing my board.
"Sure! Are you down for Chipotle?" He asked grabbing his board.
"Hell yeah!" I said.
We both laughed and headed out the door to chipotle. When we got there we got in line, ordered, and sat down. We were in the middle of eating and I decided to start a conversation.
"Daniel?" I said looking down.
"Yeah?" He said eating.
"Did you really mean what you said? Like before we got to the gym? If you didn't I totally get it because-" I said getting cutoff.
"Chloe, of course I meant it! Have you seen yourself? You're gorgeous! Any guy would want you! You have nothing to be ashamed of." He said smiling.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yes." He said.
"Thanks. It really means a lot to me that someone actually cares about me." I said.
"Chloe, lots of people care about you. I mean your boyfriends probably care about you. As in like your exes." He said.
I looked down. I don't think Jonah told him about Wesley. I really didn't wanna bring it up. But of course like anyone else, he asked.
"Why do you look down?" He asked worried.
"Um, well you see, my ex did not care about me whatsoever. He didn't even hear me when I told him things. He was very abusive and acted like I didn't even exist. The only time he liked me was when he felt horny or he just wanted me." I said tearing up.
"Oh, damn. What was his name?" He asked.
"Wesley." I said.
"Wesley? Tucker?"
"Yeah."
"He's Jonah's best friend! He's abusive? I would've never thought that." He said looking sad.
"Yeah Jonah told me." I said wiping my tears away.
"Well maybe I can get Jonah to-"
"No! Um, I mean, uh, no please. Don't tell him anything. Don't tell him anything at all about me. No even that I live here. Don't even bring me up if you do talk to him." I said.
"Oh, okay then. We won't." He said.
We both got up, threw our stuff away and then walked out the door. We decided to walk the rest of the way home. I didn't talk most of the way home and I'm guessing Daniel noticed because he wrapped his arm around me.
"Are you still sad? About him?" He asked.
"Kind of. It just hurts me every time I think of him. I really liked him." I said tearing up again.
"It's okay. Just know that I'm always gonna be here for you. No matter what. You can always count on me." He said smiling and hugging me.
Daniel was the sweetest. He really comforts me. I really needed this. I'm so glad I moved here.
