The Note ↠ Daniel Seavey

Chapter 34

January 5, 2018

I woke up feeling productive. It was weird. I changed into a sweater and some black jeans. I curled my hair then went into the "music studio" as Nadia called it.
I set up my filming stuff and my keyboard from a few years ago.
"Hi guys! Welcome back to my channel. Today I am going to be singing Used to Be by AJ Mitchell. You guys requested this song a LOT so I hope you guys enjoy."
I started to play and sing the lyrics. "I keep walking, I keep talking to every cute boy I see. I keep looking, I keep searching for the boy that you used to be," I sang. "Cause before all this, you were loving me, hating me, tell me you're my baby calling me, telling me everything that you have just been through."
"Thank you, guys, so much for watching," I said after I finished signing the song. "Comment which song you guys want me to do next. I love you guys so much. Bye!" I shut the camera off then went into my room.
I edited the video then posted it. The feedback started to come through about five minutes later. The comment section was blowing up

seaveydaniel: dang bff
west_15: baby
beautychickee: slay
nadiahall: I woke up to you recording that and it was amazing
ajmitchell: love it! We'll have to collab sometime
kourtneyofficial_: Yeah, I would love to @ ajmitchell

I decided to text West and see if he wanted to go out for ice cream since we haven't seen each other in over a week.

Kourtney💍: Hey baby. Wanna go get some ice cream or something?
West💙: sorry Kourt. I was gonna come and see you today but mom ended up needing me today. I'll try to come tomorrow. Sorry.
Kourtney💍: it's fine.

He was really pissing me off. I mean, his mom needed him and I don't blame him for putting family before me. But he can't take an hour out of his day to come see me. Wow.

Kourtney💍: Hey Daniel.
Daniel🤓: hey. What's up?
Kourtney💍: West can't come again.
Daniel🤓: sorry K
Kourtney💍: it's fine. Do you wanna go get some ice cream or something.
Daniel🤓: Yeah, I'll go. I'll pick you up at your house in 30.
Kourtney💍: Alright

I scrolled on Instagram for a few more minutes before heading downstairs.
"Hey Kourtney. Doing anything today?" Nadia asked as I reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Me and Daniel are going to get ice cream," I replied.
"What about West?"
"Busy."
"Again? Doing what?"
"He's just busy okay," I snapped, slamming my bottle down on the counter.
Nadia jumped back, startled.
"Sorry. I'm just, really stressed," I apologized.
"It's fine."
"Daniel just got here," I said, checking my phone. "I'll see you later." I went outside and got into the car.
"Hey K," he said, backing out of the driveway.
"Hey D."
-
"Daniel, you are not paying. You pay every time. Besides, I'm the one who wanted to come," I argued, trying to pay for the ice cream.
"I thought we established the fact a long time ago that when it was just me and you, I'm always going to pay," Daniel said, pulling my arm back.
"Daniel."
"Kourtney."
We both handed our cards to the cashier. He only took Daniel's.
I shot the cashier a dirty look and he quickly turned around, making our ice cream.
We got our ice cream and went to sit in the back corner.
"We need to come here more often. This is really good ice cream," I said, taking another bite.
"I know. This is the best ice cream I've ever had," Daniel agreed. "So, where's West?"
"Busy with his mom. Again."
"Are you sure he's really busy? He has been all week."
"His mom is just having a rough patch. It's fine."
"He couldn't take an hour out of his day to bring you to get ice cream. "
"He's just busy okay. Why does everyone doubt that."
"Just look around Kourtney. He's always on his phone when he is with you. He ignores you for weeks at a time."
"He doesn't ignore me, and it's not weeks," I argued. "Besides, he said he was going to try to come tomorrow."
"Yeah, try," Daniel mumbled under his breath.
"He will. He's not Hayden if you haven't noticed."
"I have noticed. Hayden is a lot more attractive."
I punched his arm, a slight smile on my face.
"But seriously, I'm just looking out for you sis," Daniel said.
"I know, I know. I've just been stressed lately. School has just started to pile up and West isn't really helping right now."
"Sorry K."
"You've said 'sorry' like, fifty times today. Lay off of them."
"Sorry."
"Daniel!"
"Okay, I'll quit. Sorry."
We laughed as we finished our ice cream.
After we finished we decided to just hang out for a little while. We played with Snapchat filters and told silly stories.
You see, this is why I asked Daniel to come. Because he always knew how to make me laugh.
