The Note ↠ Daniel Seavey

Chapter 50

April 2, 2018

"Where is the Tylenol?" Logan asked, walking out of the bedroom.
"I'll get it for you." I walked over to the medicine cabinet and took out two pills.
"What happened last night?" He asked, rubbing his forehead.
"You got drunk." I handed him the pills and a glass of water.
"How bad?" He took the pills and I handed him his camera.
"Look at the vlog footage. Ayla, Lydia, and Brendan had to call us so we could help them with you. I just stayed here at your house to keep an eye on you."
Logan looked over his vlog footage. "It's not that bad."
"You found a pineapple and proceeded to stab it, screaming 'I know you're in there SpongeBob.'"
"Oh."
"Then, you congratulated a potato for being on Toy Story," I continued.
"Sorry. I just got carried away with the alcohol."
"It's fine. I don't mind. Plus, I didn't have anything to do today anyways."
"I don't have anything eith- DANIELS BIRTHDAY! We have to go get him something!"
"We can go as soon as I change. I know for a fact you are not gonna let me leave without wearing merch."
"Sometimes I wonder if you actually are my little sister."
I went into the merch room and put on a pink maverick hoodie and hat before putting on some Nike leggings and Uggs. "Ready Logan?"
"To the Yeti!"
"To the Yeti!"
-
"Okay, so, what do we get him?" Logan asked as we drove down the road.
"Honestly have no idea."
"See Logang, this is why Kourtney is no use when it comes to shopping," Logan said, talking to his camera.
"Hey, not my fault he never says anything he wants."
"Doesn't he like drones and stuff?"
"Yes! He broke his drone yesterday, perfect!"
"Okay, to Best Buy." Logan turned the Yeti around and he headed to the grove.
"Hey Logan?"
"Yeah?"
"I don't feel like a drone is enough."
"What?"
"He's been my best friend for almost nine years. It's his 19th birthday, I feel like I should get him something else. You give him the drone."
"Okay, well go to the mall after we get the drone."
"Alright."
After we bought Daniels drone we headed to the mall. I ended up getting him some shirts, jeans, and a pair of shoes. I think I can finish something for his present once I get home.
"Are you going back to my house?" Logan asked as I finished paying for the last few things.
"Um, I actually have to get something from my house. Can you drop me off?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Thanks."
-
Logan dropped me off and I went inside. I put Daniel's presents into a bag and went down into our music/filming room. I sat down at my desk and opened my notebook, jotting down some lyrics I had thought of on the way.
"What ya working on?"
"Geez, Brody, you scared me."
"My bad. So, what is it?"
"A song."
He gave me a slightly confused look, like he was trying to put something together.
"It's for Daniel's birthday, that's why I'm not with him."
"That makes more sense. Can I hear it?" He asked.
I hesitated for a moment before taking my guitar off the wall. "You can't tell anyone. Only Daniel was supposed to hear it, but I need some feedback."
"Nobody will know that I ever heard it. My lips are zipped, locked, and the key has been thrown away," he said, doing the 'zip it, lock it, and throw away the key' hand motions.
-
"That was so good. Kourt, he needs to hear this asap."
"Thanks. I still need to adjust some of the words, but I think it will do."
"Nadia said that they are all coming over here at 9 tonight. It's 7:30 now."
"Okay."
I put my guitar up before going up to my room, signaling Brody to follow me. I sat down on my bed and he did the same.
"So, Mr. M.I.A., where have you been? We haven't seen you in ages."
"Family. My grandma passed away a few months ago, and they have been trying to sort out her will. Nadia has been coming over to my place since it had been hard to get out lately."
"I'm sorry."
"Can I tell you something? Nobody can know."
"I trusted you with the song, you can trust me with this."
"In her will, she gave me her wedding ring and band."
"Oh my gosh."
"I'm not proposing! We are way too young."
"I know. I didn't think you were. But keep it away from Nadia just in case she jumps to conclusions."
"Okay. I gotta go, mom needs help."
"Okay. Hey, Brody?"
"Yeah?"
"Why were you here if Nadia wasn't?"
"Don't know. Something in my gut just told me to come. Glad I did, I needed to get that off my chest. Bye Kourtney."
"Bye Brody." I laid down on my bed and decided to take a nap. I set an alarm for 8:30 before closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.
