~Caspian's P.O.V~

"Stop fussing over me!" I yelled at my Aunt and Mom.

"No!" They both yelled back and continued to do my hair.

They were curling it and then straightening it and I couldn't take it anymore.

"Just leave it curled!"

"Are you sure?" My Aunt said.

"Yes!"

"Karen, do you think it should be up and curled, or down and curled?" My Aunt asked my mom, bringing my hair up and then dropping it down.

I groaned.

"Down." She said.

"Well, I want it up!" My Aunt said to her.

They continued arguing and I swatted their hands away and did the half up/ half down hairstyle.

"There! It's both now!"

"I like it!" They both said and I pushed them out of my room.

I sighed in relief.

"I think it needs to be braided half up!" My Mom said, barging in and taking the part that was half up and braiding it.

"Oh my god, get out!" I said, pushing her out, again.

I took out the braided part and let it be.

I put on my dress I got the other day (up top) and put on very light makeup.

I looked at myself in the mirror.

"Not to bad.." I whispered.

I then slipped on my simple white heels with the strap on the top and walked out of my room, my mom and Aunt waiting in the kitchen.

"Wow!" They both said.

~Daniel's P.O.V~

I walked through the sworm of people and saw Caspian's Aunt and mom.

"Hello!" I said to them.

"Daniel!" Kate said, hugging me.

"Hi, Daniel!" Her mom said.

"Ummm....Caspian's hiding in the car, I'll be back!" Kate said.

"It's so nice to meet you.....Miss Karen." I said to her.

"Just call me Karen, please!" She said and smiled.

I nodded.

"It's so cute, you and Caspian.."

"Oh...yeah it was weird she was trying to text you and she texted me instead."

"Your welcome." She said and I laughed.

"Yeah, actually, thank you so much. She's changed my life."

"Do you like her?"

I grinned and felt my face heat up.

"I don't know...she's my best friend."

"She definitely likes you, but she dodges the question..."

"Oh."

"Shhh...I didn't say anything!" She said and I heard Kate yelling.

"I got her!" She yelled.

"I've changed my mind! I don't wanna be here!" I heard Caspian yell.

I saw Kate and.....Caspian?

"Is that her?" I asked Kate.

"Yeah. She cleans up nice, doesn't she?" She answered. Kate and Karen walked away.

I saw Caspian standing there, looking around at all the people.

"Last time I was at a party, I threw a vodka bottle at Valia Hanks....." She said and I laughed.

"Did I say that out loud?" She asked, looking mortified.

"Why!"

"She's a bitch!"

"That's no reason to throw a vodka bottle at her!"

"She was dunk, she doesn't remember!"

"So?"

"It was fun!"

"Your evil!"

"I know!"

We laughed and then Jonah came barreling towards us.

He picked her up and hugged her.

"Jonah!" She squealed in surprise.

I sighed and saw people come up to me, asking for pictures.

I took the pictures and then I felt someone tap my shoulder.

"Yes?" I asked and turned and saw Caspian.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine!"

"Your jealous!" She laughed.

"No, I'm not!" Oh, I totally was!

"Daniellllllll!"

"I'm gonna get something to drink...." I said and walked inside the house, where it was quiet.

~Caspian's P.O.V~

I followed him and when he stopped moving, I hugged him.

"You have nothing to be jealous of!"

"I'm sorry, I'm just tired."

"It's okay, do you wanna come with me?"

"Where?"

"I don't know, my house?"

He nodded.

I threw another piece of fire wood in the fire pit outside and coughed when smoke got near me.

"So, I'm sorry if you don't wanna talk about it, but, what type of cancer did you have?" Daniel asked and I sat down next to him on the ground near the fire.

"It's fine, I had Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma." I said, poking the fire with the sharp tool.

"Oh."

"Yeah, I'm just so glad I got better." I said.

I pulled out my phone and showed him my background, which was me with my best friend, Kelly, in the hospital, I was bald and she was sitting on my hospital bed with me and we were smiling.

"This is when I knew I was starting to get better."

"Who's that?"

"Kelly."

"She looks nice."

"She's the best."

I smiled at Daniel and showed him my lock screen picture, which was a collage of him.

"I told you it was my background."

He pulled out his phone and I saw his home screen background was me with Watermelon.

I was holding her up and kissing her nose.

"I love that picture."

"I do too."

We just talked the rest of the night.

I think feel asleep on his knee.
