The Note ↠ Daniel Seavey

79

November 8, 2018

I woke up to an arm securely wrapped around my waist. I rolled over and my face met Daniels. I ran my hair, brushing it out of his face. I started at him, taking in his features for a moment before he opened his eyes.
"It's not nice to stare."
"I can't help it."
Daniels arm loosened around my waist and I got up, tripping over a body.
"Ow," Jonah groaned.
"Sorry." I looked around my room and saw everyone sleeping, sprawled out everywhere. I just shook my head and went over to my dresser, pulling out an outfit. "I'm getting in the shower, I'll be out in fifteen."
-
I got out of the shower and dried off. I put on my outfit: A Nirvana shirt and some jean shorts. I ringed any access water out of my hair, deciding to just let it air dry. I quickly did my makeup before going back out to my room.
Everyone was up by now. They had all changed and were sitting down, on their phones. I grabbed my phone and went to my messages with the author.

theauthor: be there at 9
kourtneyofficial_: Okay, I'll see you there

I smiled to myself. Today was the day.
"What are you smiling about?" Daniel asked. He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Today is the day." Daniel gave me a slightly confused look. "I'm finally meeting him."
"And you're sure he isn't an axe murder."
"I'm positive."
"Okay." Daniel gave me a kiss on my cheek. "Come on, food is downstairs." He grabbed my hand and I followed him.
-
"I'll be back later guys," I said as I grabbed my bag.
"Where are you going?" Zach asked.
"To meet someone."
"Is it that author guy?" Corbyn questioned.
"Yes, it's that author guy. I'll be back later, bye." I walked out and shut the door. I went to my car and got in, driving to the café me and Daniel went to all the time.
Once I got there I looked up, and for the first time looked at the name of the café. It was a wooden sign with the Eiffel Tower on it, and the letters beside it spelled out "Eiffel's Café."
I opened the doors and walked in, taking in the scent of fresh bread and coffee. I walked up to the desk. "Hi, may I please speak to the owner?"
"Yeah, I'll go get them for you."
"Thanks."
The worker went to the back while I stood at the counter. A tall older man came out from the back. "Hi, how can I help you."
"Um, I'm Kourtney. I was told you would take me somewhere. I'm meeting someone," I explained.
"Oh, yes. Right this way." He led me behind the counter and to the back. He opened a door which revealed some steep steps. "Go on up. The person you're meeting should be here soon."
"Thank you." I went up the steps and opened the door that was at the end. It led me out to the roof. I stepped out and went over to the edge. I sat down and put my hands behind my back, propping myself up. I tilted my head back and looked up at the stars.
-
After about fifteen minutes I heard a door open, followed my footsteps approaching me. I looked over and saw Daniel. "Hey D, what are you doing here?"
Daniel didn’t say anything and just sat beside me. He handed me a piece of paper that was folded. I took the paper and opened it.

Well, here we are. I guess my secret is finally out. Hi, I'm Daniel Seavey, and I'm your author. I didn’t know how to say this. I put it off so many times. But I can't do it anymore. I didn’t know how I was supposed to approach you when these notes started. We were already best friends, but I felt like I needed to be closer to you, and be someone who you can tell absolutely anything to, even if it was about me. So, I started putting notes in your locker. Sorry for keeping this up for so long, I just wasn’t sure how to tell you. Forgive me? Xoxo, D

I looked over at Daniel. He had his head down. I lifted his chin with my finger, making him look at me, and kissed him. "How could I ever be mad at you. I didn’t care who the author was, all I cared about was that I had someone to talk to anything and everything about. I didn't care who it was, I didn’t need a face to go with the name, because I had someone to confide in. You were always there for me, that’s all I care about. Of course I forgive you."
Daniel smiled and pulled me into another kiss. "Good. I don’t think I could stand having you mad at me."
I rested my head on his shoulder and we sat there, looking up at the stars.
After a few minutes I broke the silence. "I knew it was you."
"What."
"I knew it was you."
"How?"
"You think I didn’t notice how the author texted me while you were in a different room. And that note you had after you got out of the hospital, that you wouldn't let me read. I read it once you went to sleep."
Daniel looked at me, obviously shocked. "Yet you still told me everything you did after that?"
"Yeah, of course. Like I said earlier, I didn’t care that it was you. All I cared about was that I could trust you, and I could."
Daniel kissed the top of my head and smiled. "I love you."
"I love you too."
