Remember Me | D.S

-twenty six-

Tuesday July 16th

This day has been hectic. Everything went by so fast. Just in 5 hours I got robbed, found out who it was, learned that my old boyfriend was the one. It's chaotic. After we met Aaron the boys suggested we should go home, I didn't. I won't let his choice mold my life. We walked around the mall and I got my dresses and sunglasses. Daniel and Corbyn never calmed down, they went around looking everywhere, they were scared that someone would attack me.
Luckily no one did.

Since my apartment is ruined and the door isn't fixed yet, I'm sleeping at the WDW house. We just ate dinner. The most awkward dinner ever, everyone was quiet and Daniel didn't move his eyes away from me. He was scared I'd break down in tears or something. Jack is sitting outside of my room, they feel like they have to protect me or something from what Aaron said.

I jump a little as I hear a knock on my door.
"Can I come in?" I hear Daniel ask me through the door.
"Yeah." I answer and he opens the door. He steps inside and closes the door after himself.
"How are you?" He asks me and sits down on the end of my bed. I chuckle and look into his eyes.
"I'm ok, he didn't hurt me. He just stole some stuff." I say. Daniel chuckles and shakes his head. He looks at me with a serious face. I furrow my eyebrows and shrug.

"Just stole some stuff?" He repeats and looks at me again.
"He said they were thinking about raping you! He broke into your house! Watched you sleeping!" He adds. I chuckle and look out of my window.
"There's nothing JUST about that. He's psychotic. How can you be this calm?" He asks me. I just shake my head and he gets up from the bed.
"I don't care. He won't hurt me. He didn't rape me. This whole defense thing isn't even necessary." I say and get up from my bed.

"Maybe it's not. But it makes me calm! Knowing you're ok." He says and takes a step towards me.
"I'm ok! You don't need to be this protective over me. I don't get why you care this much about me! I wouldn't, so you shouldn't either." I say and turn around. I put my hands on the back of my neck and walk toward the bed.
"Why I care so much about you?! Is that really a question?" He asks me and I turn back to him.
"Yeah!" I say and put my hands down. He sighs and takes a few steps towards me.

"Because I freaking love you!" He says and stops right in front of me. I freeze and look into his eyes.
"I already know that. You've said it several times before." I say and take a step back.
"You don't get it do you?" He asks me. I look up at him and shake my head. It's silent until he takes a step towards me. He grabs my face and press his lips onto mine. I close my eyes and he pulls back slowly letting go of my face.
"I love you... as more then a friend." He says. I swallow and he looks into my eyes.

I panic and rush out of the room. Jack shoots up from his chair as I run out of the room. Quickly I rush down the stairs and pick the car keys up from the table. I run out the house and get into the car and start the engine. Daniel comes rushing out the house and stops for a split second until he runs toward the car and I back out and drive away. I did it again... I drove away from him. I look into the rear-view mirror and see him standing on the street ruffling his hair. He throws his hands into the air and it looks like he screams.

Tears start to gather in my eyes as I drive. I wipe them away and take a deep breath. Feeling how my breath shakes I let the tears fall. I drive to a lonely road and stop the car. My head fall down onto the steering wheel and I start crying again. I sit there for a while until I hear a knock on the window. I ignore it and don't look there.

In about 2 minutes it knocks again. I look to my right and see Aaron standing at the window smiling. I start to panic and reach for the keys to turn the engine on again. Before I can react the door opens and Aaron sits down into the passenger seat.
"GET OUT!" I yell at him. He looks scared and looks into my eyes.
"Please Presley! I regret everything I did!" He says and looks at me sadly.
"GET OUT!" I yell another time. He puts his hand over my mouth.
"Please. Be quiet..." He says. I nod as the tears stream down my face. He removes his hand and reaches out for something in his pockets.

He picks up a stack of dollar bills. Slowly he hands me the stack and I grab it.
"It's for the things we stole... I'm sorry..." He says. I look at the money and back at him as my tears still stream down.
"The police is on its way... I'm turning myself in..." he says. I cant get anything out so I just nod my head and look at him. He's looking tired and sad.
"Get out." I manage to get out while struggling to breathe. A tear falls from his eye and he gets out of the car. I don't forgive him, but I can't say I don't feel sorry for him.

I turn the engine on and start to drive. Drive and don't stop driving. I don't know how long I've been driving. The gas runs out and I park the car on the side of the road. I get out of the car and sit down in front of the car and rest my head on the car. Why do I always run away... and why is it always from Daniel...
