The Note ↠ Daniel Seavey

Chapter 23

December 7, 2017
I laid down on my bed and sighed. I was so bored. Nadia left to go do something with Brody, again. The boys were all in the studio recording a song. West was at his mom's house, helping her around.
His mom was the sweetest thing, but she was wheelchair bound from a car crash she had a few years back. Sometimes she just has a rough couple of weeks and needs help with everything, some she is perfectly fine in her own. Whenever I went over to his mom's house, we always baked. Last time, it was some chocolate chip cookies.
I looked at my phone. It was only 11:45, what am I supposed to do all day. I went on to Instagram and DMed the author account

kourtneyofficial_ : I feel like we haven't talked in forever, even though the last note was only a few days ago.
theauthor: yeah, I've been busy so I haven't got the chance to talk to you.
kourtneyofficial_: so, what are you up to today?
theauthor: just hanging with some friends.
kourtneyofficial_: who are these friends? Maybe I know them. Maybe they can help me find out who you are.
theauthor: nice try. I'm not telling you. What are you doing?
kourtneyofficial_: lying in bed wondering what to do with my life as all my friends are busy.
theauthor: wow. You are just that lonely aren't you.
kourtneyofficial_ : hey! Rude much?! Jk, jk
theauthor: haha, sorry. I wish I could come over and hang out with you.
kourtneyofficial_ : then why don't you?
theauthor: I'm just not ready to show or tell you who I am yet.
kourtneyofficial_: You know I won't be mad or anything if you are someone I already know and am close to, right
theauthor: yeah, I just, want to wait till the right time to tell you
kourtneyofficial_ : That's fine. Just know I'm always here if you need to talk
theauthor: yeah, thanks. So where are all of your friends? Don't you have like, 50?
kourtneyofficial_ : LMAO. not 50, def not that many. Nadia is out with Brody, the guys are all recording for their new EP, and West is helping his mom.
theauthor: helping his mom?
kourtneyofficial_ : his mom is wheelchair bound. She got into a bad car crash a few years ago and it left her paralyzed. She can manage by herself most of the time, but every now and then there is a week where she can't do anything by herself. This is one of those weeks.
theauthor: oh. That's nice of him

The Authors POV

'Something was off. I mean, I knew West's mom was wheelchair bound, and she did need help sometimes, but this never happened before. Never has she had a week in which she needed him to help her. Someone would have mentioned it by now. And he had been spending quite a bit of time away from the group lately. Maybe he was... no, no, no. West was a good guy. He wouldn't do something like that. Especially not after he knew that was how Kourtney got her heart crushed last time she was in a relationship. He would never. Not only did Kourt trust him, but so did I. He would never...' my thoughts were interrupted by a ding on my phone. I looked down and read the message.

kourtneyofficial_ : yeah, it is. Can you at least give me your number? It's easier to text that way.

I couldn't give here my number. She may say she doesn't have a lot of friends, but she has everyone's number, including mine. I couldn't give it to her. It would ruin he secret.

theauthor: nope. And don’t ask why cause you won't be getting an answer
kourtneyofficial_: ugh, fine. You better just be glad I can stand you.
theauthor: ha ha. Yeah, I guess I am glad you can stand me💕
kourtneyofficial_: well I have to go. Ttyl💕
theauthor: no one uses that anymore, lmao. Bye💕

I turned my phone off as one of my friends started to tell me something.
"Come on bro. We don't have all day. We have to go somewhere later," One of my friends said.
"Yeah, hurry up."
"I'm coming, I'm coming." I shoved my phone into my pocket and grabbed my jacket, running out the door.

Kourtney's POV

I shut my phone off and went downstairs. I decided to catch up on Criminal Minds, since I haven't watched it in a while. I ordered some pizza and sat down on the couch, turning on the TV and continuing the episode I left off on.
I was woke up by the front door shutting. Nadia and Brody came into the living room and sat on the couch.
"Hey Kourt," Nadia said, walking into the living room.
"Hey Nads. Where were y'all?" I asked. I sat up on the couch and stretched.
"We just went out to eat, then she came over to my house for a little while," Brody informed.
"So, what did you do all day?" Nadia asked, sitting on the couch beside me.
"Talked to the author, watched Criminal Minds, and apparently took a nap. What time is it?" I asked, looking for my phone.
"5:45." Brody passed me my phone and I smiled at him.
"Ima go to my room and change." Nadia stood up and started to walk upstairs.
"Alright, I have to head back to my house. See you later."
Nadia gave Brody a kiss before heading upstairs.
Brody looked at me before speaking. "I ordered that ring. I have a plan set up for when I give it to her, but I will need your help."
"Yeah, we can meet up tomorrow and talk about it."
"Alright. Where?"
"Library? I know Nadia won't be anywhere near there."
"Alright. I'll meet you there at 2:30."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
