I've always been a child at heart — that's one of the biggest complements someone has ever given me. People have told me that my heart is still filled with innocence and incredibly trusting. It's Ali who has always had an old soul. With that heart, I also grow to be naive. I wasn't going to let myself become naive with him again — not anymore.

I rather keep him in my life as a friend than allow him to leave again as a relationship.

Not again.

"Back to normal — sort of," I giggled bandaging his last cut.

I didn't realize I went overboard on the bandages until his face reached the mirror meeting a shocked expression.

"Sienna, it should be you I'm taking care of — not me," he told grabbing my hand.

"Are you kidding me? You got into a fight!" I complained.

"You got into a car crash," he defended.

"Daniel—"

"No! I can't calm down! You almost died, and I can't lose you again — not forever. Not you. Please, not you," he spoke sadness draining his words.

"I'm here Dani — you can't get rid of me that easily," I joked as the incoming smile slapped his face.

"Good."

My eyes rolled washing my hands as he hoped off the table bumping me on purpose getting out of the bathroom making me groan. A smirk was held onto his busted face as I held a shocked expression bumping him back. He raised an eyebrow mimicking our playful fight.

I could tell by his little gesture he was just trying to lift the mood — in the only way he can: by frustrating me.

"Dani!" I gigged grabbing a wet cloth throwing at him splattering all over his shirt.

"That's how you want to play it? Okay," he nodded heading towards the kitchen with me peaking behind him.

"Dani," I warned smiley.

No reply. Instead, he simple drifted into the kitchen inspecting some ingredients in the fridge as I knew those baby blues would call for revenge. My face lifted an effortless smile as I quickly grabbed some soap from the sink before a liquid spilled down my back.

My mouth widened in utter shock before my body turned seeing the giggly Seavey boy with ketchup in his hand. HIs eyes held a sinister glance of redundancy as my smile shifted into a subtle smirk.

"You're dead, Seavey," I muttered.

The once relaxed state of the apartment turned into a hijack of giggles and loud footsteps across each room as we each tried to seek revenge. I wasn't sure why we started blasting each other with different food condiments or bottles of soap, but we did.

And, this is why I missed him so dearly.

I didn't realize I would miss these moments so much. Our snickers echoed through the walls as the snarky boy was now chasing me with a bottle of steak sauce. Round and round, we ended up back in the kitchen as the sauce met my jeans.

"Hey! These were new!" I complained.

"Oops," he smirked.

My unamused looks were enough for me to head towards the pantry trying to find something to cure my incoming and temporary hatred towards the stupidly cute boy. My lip hit my teeth trying to find something to cure my sorrows for revenge as my hand drifted towards the flour. I turned around at his expression drifted from calm to chaos.

"You wouldn't —" he choked up.

"You shouldn't doubt me," I smiled with innocence peaking in my eyes grabbing a handful of the dry substance trying to chase him once more.
