Chapter 50

Bethany's POV

"Morgan greets me in a hug, followed by Zach. With Daniel still standing on the opposite side of the room."

  We make random eye contact a few times and I hold back the sadness and fake a smile around Morgan. I know if she knew I was sad she'd slap me... and Daniel.

Morgan: So hows your head?

Beth: Its better. Where is Logan?

Morgan: Oh yuh--

Jonah interupted her.

Jonah: He got a call that Jake pranked him and had to go home for the vlog content.... he's a vlogger...

We giggle and I glance over at Daniel and see him admiring the flowers infront of the window, he leans more towards the window and the city lights shine on the top half of his body. Hes glowing.

Zach: We'll leave you two alone.

Zach whispers to me.

I nod as they leave.

Daniel slowly turns around a few moments later to a room with just him and me. He looks a little baffled and shocked at the sight of me sitting down admiring him.

He looks at me, not saying anything and I can feel the heartbreak ache off of his body. I finally break the awkward silence with a simple hey.

Beth: Hey, I'm surprised you came.

My voice is low and quiet at this point.

Daniel: Well yeah... when Jonah called I didnt really think twice but to come and make sure you were okay.

Beth: Thats nice to hear.

He stops walking around and sits down in a chair on the far wall, next to the window.

Daniel: Me being here doesn't mean we're okay.

Beth: Does it mean we're better?

I begin to let the sadness out a little bit. My voice starts to tremble.

Daniel: Maybe.

He hunches over with his elbows on his knees, he look straight at the ground.

Beth: Are you okay though?

Daniel: Lets not worry about me okay? You just passed out, I dont want to make you anymore stressed then you already are.

Beth: Its stressing me out more not knowing.

The room becomes hushed with silence as I wait for a responce.

...

...

...

Beth: Daniel?

Daniel: I...I'm not okay. 

I can hear the wavery in his voice, like he is having a hard time to speak.

He puts his head down again, ashamed of his answer.

I get up slowly and walk over to him, standing infront of him until he notices I am standing.

Daniel: Beth! You probably shouldnt be standing.

Daniel wipes the tears from his cheeks and stands up, putting his hands under my arms, guiding me back to the bed. He sits next to me as I slouch with my back against the pillows.

Beth: I am not okay either...

He looks up at me, his eyes twinkling. 

Daniel: You will be.

Beth: I am sorry for everything. 

The tears begin to flow...

I lean into his shoulder and he pulls me closer... not saying anything at all, just hugging me.

He releases after a few minutes.

Daniel: Beth... I love you..

...

Daniel: I don't know if I can let this whole Anthony thing go...

I look at him and his eyes look red. I am sure mine do too.

Beth: I...

Nothing comes out.

Daniel: I brought you these, and I hope you get better.

He points to the flowers on the windowsill. They're white tulips that glisen in the sun.

The moment I look away from the flowers Daniel was gone... And I find myself crying once again...

A/N: YAH YEEEEET. What do you think wil happen next?
