A STEP FURTHER

Episode 23

     There was a knock on the door, and then sounds of the door opening. "Hello?" A man called for me. I ran out into the kitchen. "He- DANIEL!" 
     "Y/N?" He put the two boxes he was holding down and wrapped his arms around me. "How have you been?"
     "Great. What about you?"
     "Just fine."
     "Do you need help?"
     "No, I got it there is only 4 more boxes."
     "What about with decorating?"
     "Okay, yeah sure." After all the boxes were upstairs I began my mission. After we were done, it turned out amazing.

     I went back into my room and grabbed my box of pads and tampons and stuff. Now that I'm living with a guy, this will be harder than I thought. I mean, we are friends, and I'm not the type of person to get embarrassed easily, but still. I put the box by the toilet and walked out.
     I walked back into my room, finding Daniel looking around. "Hey what are you doing?"
     "Just looking. You did great."
      "Thanks. Do you want to watch a movie in here?" I have a bigger TV in here than you do."
     "Ugh, but yeah." We flopped down on my bed and turned on the TV. A few minutes into the movie, he turned to me. "I think we need to talk about what we've obviously been avoiding." I began to get uncomfortable. "Ja-"
     "My tampo-" we were obviously not on the same path. We both awkwardly laughed. "Jack. Right."
     "Yeah. What happened between you guys."
     "I just knew I was going to loose him in college. I knew he was probably going to get into a big place and I won't. So I drifted. I really did like him. I sometimes wish I would have stayed."

3 DaYs LaTeR

     I had been out all night with my friend, Layla. She works at the Coffee shop I like, and we ended up becoming best friends in a extremely short amount of time. We had a sleepover, but it was time for me to go back home.
When I walked in, there was no sign of Daniel. All of his clothes were missing and his instruments and trophies. I gave up and went to my room. There was a note on my bed.

Y/N,
I left.
I'm sorry.
You're getting a new roommate.

That note was SoOoO explanatory. I sighed and went to my kitchen. As I poured myself some cereal, there was a knock at the door. I walked over to the door and opened I-
"Jack."
"Dammit Daniel." He whispered underneath his breath.
