      Daniel's POV
MONDAY 11:19am

   "that'll be $251.99 dollars"

    I hand the lady my credit card and take the box, which has a necklace in it. It's Bethany's birthday tomorrow and I want it to be special. So I got her this beautiful necklace that says "beth" on it in cursive. It's just a little something for her. I know she'll love it.
I take my credit card out of the women's hand and walk out of the store and onto Hollywood boulevard when I receive a text.

*ding*

Beth: Hey, what are you up to?

Daniel: Just grabbed something from the grocery store, headed back to the house now.

Beth: Do you want to meet up later?

Daniel: Sure thing, come over at around 3:00?

Beth: I'll be there, love you.

Daniel: Love you too.
read 11:34am

I shove the box in my pocket and call an Uber back to the house.
*4 minutes away*
Whilst I stand around, I hear my name being called from down the block.
"OMG THATS DANIEL SEAVEY!"
I snap my head and a few girls are coming over here to say hey to me. I always love when I meet fans outside of tour and all that stuff, it makes me feel accomplished.

A girl: Oh my gosh, I love you so much.

Daniel: I love you too.

I embrace the young girl in a hug. Another girl walks up and says:

"Oh hey, you're Bethany's boyfriend"

I look to her.

Daniel: Yes I am.

We take a few pictures until the few fans turn into 10s of fans and I am now standing further away from the road, by a shoe store.
I hear a man yelling at all these people crowding me, and I feel a hand wrap around my arm and yank me inside the store, locking the door behind me.

Daniel: Why'd you do that? I love talking to my fans.

The guy goes silent and slightly points to the people now banging on the window.

The guy: It's not very nice blocking the sidewalk.

He walks over to the counter and takes a seat on top.

The guy: All the screaming girls should be gone soon.

Daniel: Okay, I think my Uber is here.

The guy: Cancel it. You'll probably be in here for a little bit.

Daniel: How long?

The guy: Just until the sidewalk has been cleared.

Daniel: Oh okay.

I look around and begin to entertain myself by looking at the shoes.

The guy: So i'm guessing you're pretty poppin right now.

He chuckles
And I smile back.

Daniel: Yeah I guess so.

I laugh.

The guy: I'm Anthony by the way.

He reaches his hand out in front of him.
I shake it firmly.

Daniel: I'm Daniel, nice to meet you.
