Remember Me | D.S

-twelve-

     Tuesday July 1st

I wake up on the mattress and look around. Daniel isn't around and I don't hear anyone either. I pick up my phone and start heading downstairs. I see the others sleeping in the couch while Love, Rosie is playing, I bet Jack chose the movie. They're really adorable.

I walk into the kitchen and look at my phone. I see the little notification on my phone and I smile.

alexaiono started following you.

Quickly I get into my phone and follow him back. I like his recent pic. I scroll up and click on "send message". In silence I sit and think of what to write.

"So you stalked me?" I type and send. It doesn't take more then like 20 seconds until it says "seen" under my text. I chuckle to myself and see how the typing bubble pops up.
"I couldn't resist. I love your tattoo by the way. Did that Daniel dude take that photo?" He writes. I chuckle and bite my lip as I type my answer.

"Awh, and I love you! Yeah that Daniel dude took that photo, he's my best friend." I send. His typing bubble pops up and disappears. It pops up again and he sends;
"I thought I was your best friend, or Aria. But I guess I can share you!" I giggle and answer with a heart.
I put my phone down and walk over to the living room and look at the others. Jack and Gabbie are cuddling. Corbyn and Christina are holding hands. Daniel and Jonah are laying really close to each other almost like they're about to kiss. I snatch a photo and get a notification from Alex.

"Would you like to go to this new diner with me? People say they got amazing onion rings?" He asks. I giggle and answer with;
"On my way! Send me the name of the diner!" He gives me the name of the diner and I quickly grab my keys and my jacket. I quickly get into the car and drive to the diner. Alex and I hug and we walk inside.

"What can I get for you?" The waitress says and we smile at her.
"A bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and a vanilla milkshake please." Alex says and she writes it down.
"Make that two!" I say and smile at her. She smiles back and walks away. Alex is looking at me and I look back at him smiling. I grab my phone and notice that it's dead.

"Dang it! My phone is dead!" I say and put it down.
"It's only 5:46 PM so you don't have to worry." Alex answers and I chuckle. He does too. We start talking about what we've been up to the past months without keeping in touch. Alex is dropping his own music and is going on tour soon. I told him about Jonah and Daniel and the Australia trip, and plenty of more. He just laughed. We get our food and start digging in. It doesn't take long until we finished it all.

"God that was delicious" Alex says and falls back taking a sip of his drink.
"Now that six pack of yours is long gone!" I say making him laugh. I laugh with him and we smile at each other. The silence ends when Alex's phone starts ringing. He answers the unknown number and all I hear is mumbling. He looks nervous and confused and hands me the phone.

"Hi?" I say.
"Where the hell are you?!" I hear Daniel yell.
"What are you talking about?" I ask getting a bit angry for him yelling.
"You can't just leave without telling us! It's 8:23 PM! You have to tell us! I worried my ass off!" He yells back. I look at Alex's phone and notice how much the time is.
"Sorry! But it's my life! I can do whatever I want to!" I yell back. I hear Daniel sighing.
"JUST COME HOME!" He yells and ends the call. I sigh and hand Alex his phone. He looks at me with a concerned smile.

"I got to go! This was amazing, we have to do it again someday!" I say and grab my jacket, handing him $20 for my food. He declines it and shakes his head. I kiss his cheek and run out and to the car. I get in the car and start the engine. Alex waves goodbye to me as I drive away.

I arrive at home and see Daniel sitting on the drive way. I get out of the car and walk up to Daniel. He gets up and walks up to me looking mad.
"Where on earth were you!" He asks me still looking angry. I copy his angry face.
"I was eating dinner with Alex!" I say and he rolls his eyes.
"Of course!" He says and throws his hands up in the air.
"What do you mean!" I yell at him. He turns to me and gives me a even angrier face.

"You could at least tell us if you're with Alex" He says and makes a baby voice as he says his name. 
"I got my own life! I'm allowed to go out and meet my friends if I want to, without telling you, mom" I say and see how he raise his eyebrows.
"No you're not! Because you're my responsibility now that you're living here!" He yells at me. I see Corbyn and the others looking at us through the window.
"I'm no ones responsibility! I'm 18! I can take care of myself! And I don't need your constant concern! I was fine without you, I'll survive a day without your constant concern!" I yell back at him.
"You wouldn't survive a day without me, you don't know how to act under panic. You're hopeless sometimes!" He yells and I feel my heart skipping a beat as he says it. He shakes his head and grabs my wrist tightly.

Without thinking my other hand slaps him really hard on his cheek. He lets go of my other hands and I run inside and past the others. I run up to his room and quickly grab my bag, starting to shove everything that's mine into it. I take out Daniels hoodie from my bag and throw it on his bed. Daniel comes running up the stairs and slowly walks up to me.

"Presley-" He says but I cut him off by storming past him and grabbing my makeup bag. I close it up and throw it over my shoulder and start running downstairs again.
"Presley... please" He says and runs after me and outside. I throw my bag into the Jeep and get into the drivers seat. My eyes are filled with tears and Daniel is already crying. He's standing in front of my car and I back out of the parking lot and drive away wiping the tears from under my eyes. Goodbye Daniel.
