Something Better || Daniel Seavey

Chapter 7: Time has passed by

Time Skip

Laurie's POV:

It's been months since I last saw Daniel. It's been a lot of time since we talked. After finishing American Idol, he is finally coming back to his hometown.

I don't know how I should feel about this. I definitely kept being friends with Daniel (or that's what I think) but things have changed and we became distant towards each other.

Flashback

It was a few weeks since Daniel went to San Francisco and they accepted his audition. I was really happy for him. Those past weeks we kept in touch a lot but some days we couldn't talk because he was busy with music and stuff.

I made new friends at school and they are pretty nice. I spend my time with Alexa and Thomas. I became really close to them I could consider them as my best friends but Daniel still has the first spot.

They know about my feelings towards him and apparently they ship us hardcore. The past few days, weeks, I didn't have any news coming from Daniel. Of course I watched the show and supported him but it was weird that he hasn't texted me or anything.

It was lunch period and I was sat with Alexa and Thomas. I checked my phone several times in the past minutes so Alexa snatched it from my hands.

"Hey I know you're waiting for Daniel to tell you something or anything but girl just get him out of your head. He must be busy and stuff just relax it will be fine." I sighed, took my phone and kept it in my bag.

Since then I was waiting everyday for him to text me or call or even to have a sign that he is still 'alive' even though I know he is.

Some days I would be pissed because he promised me to always keep in touch and that he would text. But apparently he hasn't kept his promise. Eventually I just gave up and continued with my life.

One day, he called me and I was surprised he did. I quickly answered.

"Hey Dimples." I took a deep breath. "Hey." "Is everything alright?" He asked concerned. "I guess." I responded rolling my eyes.

"You guess? I know something is wrong. Tell me." I sighed. "You want me to tell you something you already know?" I say getting a little angry. "Did I do something wrong?" He asked getting worried.

"Oh no you didn't do anything. That's the point. You promised we would always keep in touch even if we only talk once a week but we haven't talked in like for several weeks now. But it's fine you know? I'm really fine with that." I took it all out. There was a moment of silence.

"Really Laurie? It's because of that? Are you serious?" I started to boil inside. "Laurie I've been really busy with American Idol and music and plus school. I'm overwhelmed. If you can't understand that well I don't know if you're really my best friend." I was shook.

"Oh so you think I don't care? That I don't understand?" There was silence.

"Well you know Dani-boy, I've been constantly waiting every single day for you to at least send me a text saying that you are fine or whatever. I've been waiting for news about you. You promised me to always keep in touch. You promised. I never pushed you to do that. You were willing to do it. And if I remember well, before you left you told me that I was one of the people that most meant to you in the world. But I don't think you treat someone you love that way." I paused. I didn't hear nothing on the other side of the line.

"So before I end this call, I wanted to tell you that I truly loved you. Truly. And not only as a friend but more than that." I stopped and realised what I just said. I just shook my head and continued.

"I wish you luck in the rest of the competition Dani. Hope your dreams will come true. And please don't come back at me because you need a friend or someone to talk to. Don't make things worse please." I ended the call.

I stared at the phone screen and then processed everything I said. I started to cry.

I then realized, I have just lost my best friend.

End of Flashback
