Her best friend likes her. Her ex has a plan to ruin her life. Her boyfriend turns out to be just like the last. She has a secret author who insists their identity stays a secret, she must wait to find out. But eventually it all takes a turn for the...
"You guys leave tomorrow."
"I know. I'm not sure how I'm gonna go without seeing you for six months."
"You'll live," I said, propping my feet up on Daniel's lap.
"Will I though?"
"Yes."
"Sure. You won't be able to live without me, though," Daniel said, pretending to flip his hair.
"Oh, yeah. Totally."
"Remember when I told you a few weeks ago that we would film a cover before me and the boys left for tour?" Daniel asked, moving my feet off his lap.
"Yeah, why?"
Daniel stood up off the couch and pulled me up. "Well, it's the day before we leave, so we might want to film that."
We went into the music room. Daniel picked up the ukulele I had bought a few weeks ago.
"What are ya doing there?"
"Playing the song were going to do a cover to."
"And what song would that be?"
"You know the words, trust me. Set up the camera while I practice," Daniel said.
He started to strum the guitar and I immediately knew what song it was.
-
"Okay, everything is set up. You ready?" I asked, standing behind the camera.
"Yeah." He looked at me before saying, "Just sing. I'll take care of the rest."
I pressed record on the camera before sitting down on the stool next to Daniel. We didn't even do an intro and went straight to the song.
"Wise men say, only fool rush in. But I can't help, falling in love with you." I felt Daniel's eyes on my so I looked over at him.
"Shall I stay? Would it be a sin, if I can't help, falling in love with you."

"Have you read the comments on your recent cover?" Nadia asked.
"No, why?"
"Every single one is 'Kaniel,'" Nadia said, raising her eyebrow at me.
"Why does this matter? There's always a few."
"Number one, this is more than a few. This is your whole comment section. Number two, have you listened to the song. Number three, HAVE YOU WATCHED THE DANG VIDEO WOMAN?! YOU TWO LOOK LIKE A COUPLE THAT'S MADLY IN LOVE!" Nadia threw a pillow at my face before chucking my phone at me.
"What was that for?!"
"Because you are acting like a clueless piece of shit. Watch the video."
"I have, I did when I edited it, like, fifty times," I said, tossing the pillow back two her.
"Watch it again."
"I'm busy."
"Doing what, exactly?"
"Planning. I leave in three months to join the boys on tour. I'm releasing my first so next week and surprising the fans. I have a lot to do."
"You can take five minutes to at least go through the comments."
"Fine."
Nadia went downstairs and I went on YouTube. Of course, Nadia was right, and every comment was 'kaniel.' While I was on my phone, I decided to just go ahead and post something on Instagram.

I set my phone down and grabbed my journal. I started to jot down song ideas. I went downstairs to grab my guitar.
I was about to head back upstairs when there was a knock at the door. I set my guitar down before opening it, revealing Logan.
"Hey Logan."
"Hey."
"May I ask why you are standing at my door at-" I checked my phone before continuing, "seven o'clock at night?"
"I got bored and I needed vlog content," Logan said.
I stepped to the side and let him in. "Not sure how you're gonna get vlog content here, I'm not doing much," I said, grabbing my guitar and heading back upstairs, Logan following.
"Well, what are you doing?"
"Working on some songs."
"Perfect! I have an idea," Logan said, pointing his finger to his head.
"Logan, your ideas are never good, but what is it?"
"Well, we are going to play a game."
"And what would this game be?"
"I'm going to give you a phrase, and you have to turn it into a song. I can just tweet something and the Logang can give me phrases." Logan pulled his phone out of his pocket and posted something on twitter.
"Alright, fine. We can set your camera up in my room," I said, opening the door to my room.
Logan set his camera up and I sat on my bed. Logan explained what we would be doing before he started to read some tweets. We did a few funny ones before he said one that I liked.
"Ocean eyes."
I picked up my guitar and started to play something.
"I've been watching you, for some time. Can't stop staring at those ocean eyes. Burning cities and, napalm skies. Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes. Your ocean eyes. No fair. You really know how to make me cry when you gimme those ocean eyes. I'm scared, I've never fallen from quite this high, Falling into your ocean eyes. Those ocean eyes, your ocean eyes."
I looked over at Logan and saw him staring at me. "What?"
"Did you have that prepared or something?" Logan asked, looking at me then the camera.
"Nope, just kinda came to me." Then I got an idea. "Can you hand me that journal?" I asked, pointing to my journal on my nightstand.
"Yeah, here."
"Thanks."
I jotted down the words 'ocean eyes' before setting my journal beside me.
"Okay, let's continue this game."
