The Note ↠ Daniel Seavey

Chapter 52

May 10, 2018

"Why did you bring me to the library?" Daniel asked, opening the door for me.
"Because, I have one last project to finish before I graduate from online school, and I need to do some research," I said, walking in and finding a table.
"What are we researching?"
"The history of California."
"Well, since I'm here, I'll help."
"Thanks. The history books and files should be in the back corner. I'll be there in a second."
I set my stuff down on a table and glanced up. I noticed a black hoodie. It looked familiar. Whatever, multiple people can have the same hoodie.
"I found these," Daniel said, placing a few files and books in front of me.
"That should be good." I pulled my laptop out of my bag and sat down, Daniel sitting in front of me.

"Thank you for helping," I said, placing my laptop and work into my backpack.
"No problem. I didn't have anything to do today anyways."
We walked out the door and down the street a little. I turned around and noticed the guy walking the other direction.
"Hey, should we call an uber? It's pretty late," I asked, looking at Daniel.
"It's only a ten-minute walk. We'll be fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Are you okay K?" Daniel looked at me with a worried expression.
"Yeah, why?"
"Just making sure."
We walked for about five more minutes until we could see my house in the distance. As we got closer, we noticed a guy standing in the middle of the side walk.
"Hey, Daniel, do you know who that is?" I asked, glancing in front of us.
"No, maybe they're out just smoking or something."
"Yeah." I looked back up and noticed the guy had started walking towards us. Okay, more like running. I looked over at Daniel and saw him tense up before I was knocked to the ground.
"Kourtney, run!"
I heard people punching each other before I finally found the strength to push myself up off the ground. I turned around just in time to see a glint of silver reflect in the street light.
"Daniel, watch out!"
I watched as the person pulled the knife out of Daniel's torso and ran. Daniels body grew pale as he fell to the ground.
"Daniel!" I ran to his body and held his head. This couldn't be happening.
"Daniel, Daniel no. Stay with me, you're gonna be okay."
"Kourtney..."
He slowly closed his eyes. I hadn't noticed the police cars and ambulances that had surrounded us. The paramedics took Daniel out of my arms and put him onto a stretcher. I heard was animalistic screams, and for the first time, I hadn't realised they were my own.

Unknown POV

I did it. She may not be dead, but hurting him did more damage to her than anyone else could. I saw the life drain from her eyes when she saw the knife. I have never felt more joy in my life.
