Something Better || Daniel Seavey

Chapter 23: Confused

Laurie's POV:

I wake up to someone singing loudly in the kitchen. I groan as I get up and walk like a zombie towards my door.

I arrive at the kitchen and see Alexa happily jumping around the place and singing.

"What a beautiful wedding
What a beautiful wedding, " says a bridesmaid to a waiter
"And, yes, but what a shame
What a shame that the poor groom's bride is a whore." Alexa yells pretending that the wooden spoon as a microphone. I quietly laugh at her silliness and snapchat her.

"I chime in with a
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality
I chime in
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of " I join her yelling at the top of my lungs enjoying the song. We dance and sing until the song ends.

At the end I had to catch my breath after jumping and dancing like a maniac.

I go back to my room to get changed before eating breakfast. Today I'm full of energy after my singing session with Alexa. I go back to my room and look for my phone.

As I search for my phone, the scent of just cooked pancakes tingles my nose. I am starving so I sprint towards the kitchen forgetting about my phone and forgetting to change clothes. Food comes first.

Alexa puts down the pancakes on the table and I push her knocking her down on the floor and quickly eating a pancake.

"Ouch!" Alexa complains getting up. "You should really control yourself when it comes to food. You really look like you haven't eaten in months." She rolls her eyes.

"Sorry I just can't. I mean, it's food. What can I do about it?" I say my mouth full of pancakes.

I continue eating and I then realise. "Wait. You never cook breakfast and you always wake up after me." I say looking at her.

"What? I thought it's might be good to make a change right?" She says avoiding eye contact with me.

"Uh huh." I say raising my eyebrow at her.

"I swear!" She puts her hands up in defense. We look at each other for a few seconds. "Okay okay it's just I feel happy." She grins.

"Dylan huh?" I raise both my eyebrows teasing her. She blushes like crazy. "Okay so tell me everything." I say shifting in my seat to be on a more confortable position.

"This single pringle isn't single anymore!" She points to herself and squeals and I join in.

"Okay so tell me tell me tell me tell meh!!" I squeal harder.

She takes a deep breath. This is going to be long.

"Okay so we-" She starts off until her phone cuts her. She groans and picks it up. I can see that it was Dylan calling.

She gasps and shows me the phone. I nod and giggle at her silliness. "Answer it." I whisper to her. She nods.

"Hello? ... Hey Dyl! ... Of course! ... Nah she'll be fine... Okay... Great then. I'll see you later. Bye love!" She hangs up and smiles widely.

"Lemme guess he invited you over for lunch?" I say looking at my fingernails.

"How do you know?" She looks at me questionly. "Let's just say I'm pretty good at guessing things." I flip my hair.

She keeps looking at me. "Is it fine with you?" She asks worried. "Yeah totally. I was anyways going to eat lunch with Daniel and the boys." I quickly respond.

"Daniel huh?" She states wiggling her eyebrows. I roll my eyes. "I heard you guys became friends again." She says sipping her coffee.

"Yeah. But enough talking about me. So, your date yesterday right?" I say trying to change subjects. I don't know why but I'm kind if scared talking about Daniel. I'm afraid about saying things I would regret. Like my feelings. I'm kind if confused.

"How about we talk about that later? I really need to shower and get ready for lunch. And I want to go to and audition before lunchtime." She says getting up and putting the dishes on the dishwasher.

"Wait. Audition??" I ask surprised. "Yeah. Remember I told you about it a week ago?" "Oh yeah sorry I forgot. You're going to do great!" I jump to hug her.

"I don't know. I mean, I've acted before but I've never auditioned for a big role like this one." She explains.

"Alex, you're going to do great. I know it. I'm sure your going to get the part." I put my hands on her shoulder. "Thank you." She hugs me.

"Now you better get going you have a long day ahead of you." I say trying to exagerate.

"Pff not that long." She says. "I don't care just go get ready I don't want to be the reason you get late to audition." I push her out if the kitchen.

I go back to my room and see I got a missed call from Jonah. I unlock my phone and press on the contact.

It rings twice before he answers.

"Hello?"

He didn't sound like Jonah or any of the boys.

I look up my phone and see I pressed the wrong contact.

"Hey Thomas."
