Crashing Down // Daniel Seavey

Crashing Down Chapter 8

*Your POV*

I sat in between Daniel's legs with my head leaning on his warm chest... I can feel the beating of his heart... his arms curled around me and they held me close... I sat here... with a boy wrapped around me, yet... I feel so so alone... I feel as if I was sitting here alone... no one around... I feel sharp chills run through my spine as the feeling of being alone intensified... Daniel's tight grip around me became even tighter and the chills vanished... I felt his head rest down on mine... his sharp jaw hurting, but I didn't care... "everything is okay" he'd say... those words sliced through me like a thousand knives piercing my skin... tearing me apart... no... everything's not okay... my mom is gone... she is dead... and she's never coming back... so, I just sit here in complete silence... the warm tears running down my cold cheeks... as my favorite memories of her in my head like a movie on repeat... I try and hold onto her voice... the beautiful voice my mom has... had... but eventually my memory of her voice will leave... just like her... just like everyone will...

D- "I won't..."

I had no idea I said that aloud... all of a sudden... everything just stopped... all the crying... all memories... all the pain... the feeling of being alone... it was all gone. I felt nothing. I realized I'm not alone. Yes, my mom is gone, but I have Meg... and Daniel. I miss my mom of course. But, all of this is just a storm... the world trying to break me, but I have to stay strong and fight through the storm. I peel my face off Daniel's tear stained shirt and look up at Daniel. He looks down at my red face with tears and snot smeared all over. I looked into his deep ocean eyes and got lost. I could see his sympathy. I could see his worry. I could see he is scared. Just looking into someone's eyes can make you see things... know things that people would not think you could know. They tell a story.

D- "There's those beautiful eyes i love."

He said trying to get me to smile, but it didn't work. He used his warm hands to gently wipe the tears off my rosy cheeks.

D- "Hey... are you okay? Wait sorry stupid question." he said as he shook his head in disbelief.

Y/N- "I-I feel better. I think we should go find my dad. He walked out and I'm worried about him."

D- "Yeah of course let's go."

Daniel gets up and reached out his arm, and I grab it. He pulls me up off the damp floor. I walk over to Meg who is pinned against the wall, probably in shock f what happened. I bend over and pull her into a comforting hug.

Y/N- "Hey... Meg, it's okay... it'll be okay... we'll get through this."

I feel her head nod telling me she understands.

Y/N- "Come on let's go find my dad and go home okay?"

M- "O-o-okay."

I let her body go and grab her hand to pull her up. I pull her up, somewhat struggling. Meg put her arm around me, and I put mine around her. We helped each other stay up as we walked out of the hospital and to Daniel's car. I help Meg into the back and close her door gently. Daniel opens my door for me and I slowly get in. After I finally get in, he closes the door and runs around to the drivers side. He opens his door and hops in. He puts his key in the ignition and turns it. The engine roars and the AC turns on. The car started beeping warning us that we are not yet seat buckled. We all quickly buckle so the annoying sound would go away. After the annoying beeping we all sit there in silence. Daniel has his hands on the wheel looking out at the hospital, not saying a word Meg already asleep in the back seat. And I just sat the with my arms wrapped around my legs, holding them up and my head resting sideways on my knees also looking out at the hospital, but that's not what I saw. I saw the movie my brain made of what just happened, Meg, my parents, and I driving to the concert, Meg and I waiting in the line to meet the boys, the car crash, Dani bringing me backstage, hurrying to the hospital, and seeing my mom's lifeless body lying there, so so still. Everything seemed to happen so fast and so my brain played the horrific scenes through my head over and over. Until, Daniel breaks the silence.

D- "Where do you think he is?" he said turning to me.

I lift my heavy head off my knees and look up at him.

Y/N- "I-I-I don't know... somewhere in town I guess... probably a bar..."

D- "Okay let's go look in the bars for then okay? We'll find him, it's okay."

I nod then slowly turn my head away, and back on my knees, the movie that was paused, played yet again...
