Something Better || Daniel Seavey

Chapter 30: Please Leave

Laurie's POV:

I wake up to someone singing and playing with my hair.

"You look so beautiful,
You walk down as a dream
I never felt this way before
Your eyes are all I need
To make forever feel like
Just a little while
I swear I'd walk, I'd run
I'd even learn to fly
Just to see you smile." I hear Daniel singing softly.

Just as he finishes his part, I smile my eyes still closed. I realise I am snuggled in his chest, his arms wrapped around me.

I hear him chuckle. He kisses my forehead and I slowly open my eyes.

"Goodmorning sunshine." He sings.

I smile and then yawn.

"Morning Seavey." I reply.

"How are you feeling today?" He asks me, tightening his grip around me, keeping me safe.

I now remember what happened. Yesterday I went on a walk with Thomas and it didn't turn out very well, he insulted my friends and brought out Josh. He blamed me for what he did.
I remember walking away from him and crossing paths on my way (don't worry I'm on my way.) home with the Why Don't We boys who stayed with me the rest if the day making me feel better because I was a big mess.
I remember the boys leave except for Daniel who stayed for the night.
I remember Alexa arriving home and Daniel explaining to her that something happened with Thomas but he didn't really know what happened.
I remember sleeping in the arms of Daniel tired from all the crying.

I feel tears stinging in my eyes. "Better." I respond to him. "You wanna talk about it?" He asks hesitantely.

I nod. I lean my head on his shoulder and hug him tighter.

I tell him everything with details, from when he dragged me out of the house until I met the boys going back home. Alexa is standing by my door listening.

As I finish, I can feel Daniel tense up and Alexa stomp out with anger.

"Dani it's fine I'm better now okay?" I reassure him.

"Well that's what you say but I know you're not okay. You've been hurt, treated like you don't deserve it. You are one of the most genuine girls I've ever met in my life and I know that what happened is not okay for you. I don't know how but you still keep that beautiful smile on your face. Laurie, all I want for you is to be happy, to have what you deserve. I don't want anyone hurting you a slight bit and I regret hurting you. Whatever happens I'm always going to be by your side and I wont let anyone treat you the way Thomas did." He finishes. I feel tears drip down my cheeks.

I hug him tight. Then I hear my door burst open.

Thomas' POV:

I messed up. Big time. I don't know what happened to me. God I regret everything I told her. That wasn't what I planed.

I'm going up the elevator waiting for it to stop. Once I arrive, I quickly walk to the right door. I knock twice.

I wait a couple of seconds and the door slightly opens revealing Alexa. I sigh internally. I know what's coming.

"What are you doing here?" She asks mad.

"Um I came to see Laurie." I answer hesitately.

"Well she is kinda busy right now maybe you can come back later. Or never. You can leave you're not welcome." She says quickly closing the door but I block it putting my foot.

"Look I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to do anything that happened yesterday I swear I came here to appologise." I plead her.

She looks at me sternly. "I said leave." She says raising her voice.

"Dangit Alexa I'm your best friend let me in!" Anger starts growing inside me.

"Correction: was*. You don't treat best friends that way. And who the fuck gave you the right to say those awful thing to MY bestfriend that didn't deserve anything that happened to her?! You better get the fuck out of here before I murder you." She yells.

"Screw you." I say under my breath trying to open the door more so that I can get inside.

I fling it open making Alexa fly and fall on the floor like she usually does being the clumsy girl she is.

I walk to Laurie's room and hear two people talking.

"Whatever happens I'm always going to be by your side and I wont let anyone treat you the way Thomas did." I hear Daniel say. My anger gets stronger as I get jealous.

I burst the door open and see Laurie and Daniel hugging. I can literally feel the smoke coming out from me.

Daniel gets up and I walk towards him. I punch him hard on the face near his eye making him stumble backwards and fall on the bed.

I walk forward ready to give him another punch and I feel my left cheek being slapped. Laurie.

I look at her and calm down trying not to hurt her instead.

She takes a step closer to me and she backslaps me on my right cheek.

I look at her angry.

"Get the hell out of my house." She quietly says looking straight into my eyes. I don't move.

"Thomas get the hell out of my house before I kill you." She says sternly her eyes burning in anger. I back off a little but still stand firmly not wanting to give up.

"I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT!" She yells at my face making me stumble back.

I look at Daniel sitting on her bed placing his hand over where I punched him. I start making my way out but stop to steal a last glance at Laurie.

"Please. Leave." She says tears in her eyes.

I finally leave her room and turn to see Alexa.

She hits me with her knee on the forbidden place and I scream out a cry.

"Oh come on! You deserve it. Leave before I kick your balls that you don't have again." She points out the front door and I crawl out.

Once I make it out, I hear the door slam behind me.
