Part 16

Ok so the picture is a few songs that imagine dragons named that are from Smoke + Mirrors I'm sure there is more songs that they haven't named but anyway back to the story, thank you so much to the beautiful people that haven't left me alone!!! I love you, you are the best!!! This means the world to me when you guys are reading my books!!!

I felt dan poke my side. I turned to him.
"What time is it?"
"7, Wanna go out for dinner?"

"Sure, where are we going?"
"Somewhere special!"
"Are the guys going?"
"No! this is supposed to be romantic!"
"Ok let me change"
"hurry the reservation is for 8"
"Ok" I got up and put on a red long dress with some black heels. I put my hair in a bun and put on a little mascara. I came out and dans jaw dropped.
"Do I look okay?"
"You look more than okay, you look beautiful! not that you didn't before its just now your wow!"
We both blushed. Dan was wearing his usual. a leather jacket, skinny jeans, combat boots, and his v-neck.
"You look handsome!"
"What? this is my usual"
"I know"
"You want me to change?"
"No your fine"
"Ok"
We drove for a while in silence. "can I turn on the radio?"
"Go ahead"
I turned it on to the local station and 'Demons' came on.
"I know you want to listen to this dan"
"I can't believe this is on the radio again! Can you call the guys and tell them?"
"Yeah" I picked up dans phone and called them.
"Thanks"
"No problem"
I told them and they were excited.
"What'd they say?"
"They were excited"
"I can't believe this! this is such an amazing night! I'm going out with the love of my life and my bands song is on the radio again! how much greater can this night get?"
"I don't know but you just passed a red light!"
"Did I really?"
We heard police sirens coming towards us. "shit I did! fuck!"
He pulled over and the police officer came up to the window. "license and registration please"
He gave him what he asked for.
"Wait here"
"Dan are you shaking?"
"Yeah I don't like officers they make me nervous"
"Why?"
"They just do, what do you think will happen?"
"Nothing, I mean you have a record from last time when you were guilty of hitting that girl, but you went to jail and got out early for good behavior so nothing should happen to you"
"I know but what if something happens"
"Nothing's going to happen! I promise! just calm down!"
The officer came back and gave him a ticket.
"Can I go now?"
"Yes have a good night sir"
"I told you!"
"Lets go eat now"
"Ok"
We went to a fancy restaurant. "this is where were eating?"
"Yup!"
"This place is expensive!"
"Yup I know! I have that kind of money!"
"No kidding! you won't have it for long if you spend your money like this"
"I know but your special so I wanted to take you out somewhere special"
We went inside and ate. while we were eating we talked about random things.
"You don't have to get me anything for my birthday"
"I want to!"
"Your so sweet! that's why I love you"
He leaned over the table and kissed me. he turned and saw a camera.
"Excuse me can I have one minute of privacy!"
"I'm sorry I get paid to do this I just want a story on how you two met"
"You want a story?! well here it is! there once a guy who took pictures of a guy named dan reynolds and dan didn't like it so he punched the camera guy!"
"Dan calm down! you don't want to go to"
"To go where?"
"Nowhere! dan lets go!" I pulled him away an we left.
"That was so close to them finding out that you were arrested"
"I know! today's been a good day and a bad one"
"We should get home!"
When we got home it was almost 10.
"You sleeping with me tonight?"
"Can I?"
"Of course!" we went up to the room.
We changed into our pajamas and laid down. I put my head on his cheat and he wrapped his arms around me. I looked into his eyes and kissed him.
"I love you dan, I really do"
"I love you too, I really want you to move in"
"I just can't, maybe if we go slow this time we'll last, goodnight"
"Night"
I woke up at around 8. I slowly got out of bed and went into Wayne's room. he had trouble sleeping at times, and when he does sleep he wakes up early.
He was awake working on some songs.
"Hey"
He looked up at me.
"Hey, I'm sorry about yesterday"
"Don't worry about it, listen dan wants me to move in but I don't want to. when I find an apartment, can you pleeeeease make sure dan doesn't get bad again"
"Why is he going to get bad again if you guys are still going to be a couple?"
"Just incase things don't work out between us. if they don't I won't come back and check up on him so I want you to make sure he doesn't get depressed or do drugs, I'd ask be but he's a drinker so is rather not, me and Daniel.... I don't ever want to talk to him again, and me and Ryan....oh Ryan he's the sweetest guy I've ever met but I think he's scared of dan so I don't want to ask him for this favor, your the only one I can trust with this"
"Don't worry ill take care of him"
"Thanks" I hugged Wayne.
"So..... what are you working on?"
"Just some demos, I've been working on this one for a while, can I play it for you?"
"Go for it!" he played an amazing tune.
"Wow! that's really upbeat! when are you gonna show the guys?"
"It's not finished but ill finish it"
"It's amazing!"
"I was thinking you can have it....for your band"
"Really?"
"Yeah! this doesn't really sound like imagine dragons so I think you should have it, for an EP or something"
"I've been writing a song about dan, and how he makes me feel, you think you can help me with it?"
"Of course! let me see what you've written so far"
"Let me get my book"
I ran downstairs and grabbed my song book.
"Here you go, don't read it out loud!"
I was standing in the corner
when you walked in to come over.
you said come on girl,
join the party,
you look lonely,
and then suddenly I replied I said,
I'm afraid of almost everything
I'm not sure what kind of songs to sing and when I met you,
you made me think,
That I could be almost anything
That I rise above it all endlessly,
and you brought me back to life,
I believe I believe I believe,
that this is your life and it can rule you,
you believe that things are better when left unsaid but your a fool 'cause you don't believe that anything good can happen to the people it should,
but I believe in you,
so get over yourself
Well no one
Had ever spoken
To me like that
Yeah it kinda turned me on,
But I was foolin'
Acting cool and
I was hopeless
Well I'm better off on my own,
But I'm afraid of almost everything,
I'm not sure what kinds of songs to sing,
and when I met you,
you made me think,
That I could be almost anything,
That I could rise above it all endlessly,
And you brought me back to life,
I believe, I believe, I believe,
That this is your life and it can rule you,
you believe that things are better when left unsaid,
but you a fool,
'Cause you don't believe that anything good,
can happen to the people it should,
but I believe in you,
so get over yourself
"This is actually really good! when are you gonna show dan?"
"Well I was hoping to get your help on this one"
"You mean you want me to help you finish this song?"
"Yes, I need help with the music. I can finish the lyrics but I need help with the tune for it, and the one you just showed me is really good"
"Ok ill help you when do you want to start?"
"Whenever is fine just as long as dan doesn't find out about this song were working on, I want it to be a surprise"
"Got it! we'll start tomorrow?"
"That's fine, thank you so much Wayne! your the best!"
"I know! go back with dan or he's going to think we were doing something"
"I'm going to make breakfast what do you want?"
"Pancakes?"
"And bacon?"
"Yeah! Ben'll love you for that"
"I know!"
I went down stairs to make breakfast. Ben came down the stairs.
"Who's touching my bacon!"
"Calm down Ben! I'm making you breakfast!"
"Ooooh thanks Aja"
"Your welcome, anyway here you go"
"Thanks your the best!"
"Where's Ryan?"
"Oh um...um I don't know"
"I know when your lying, tell me"
"Daniels house"
"Why?"
"He wanted to see why he cheated on you"
"Aw he's so sweet I love Ryan! he's the best"
"Do you like him?"
"As a friend yes, as a boyfriend I don't know, he's really sweet but I'm with dan so that's a no no"
"But you like Ryan?"
"I told you, I'm with dan"
"That's not what I'm asking, do you like r-"
"No! I love dan! Ryan's sweet but I love dan! Can't you understand that I love dan! not fucking Ryan! I love dan! god Ben what's your problem today! Last time I ever make you breakfast!"
I dropped the pan and went upstairs. what has gotten into Ben. he's being weird an kind of rude that's not like him.
"Aja? are you okay?"
"I'm fine!"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing! just leave me alone!"
"Aja baby what's wrong! I'm trying to help you!"
"Nothing! dan please I just want to be alone for a little while, if you love me you'll leave me alone"
"I love you" and he walked out.
Dans P.O.V.
I went down to the kitchen.
"Hey Ben! you know what's wrong with Aja?"
"We kinda had an argument right now, she probably thinks I'm a complete jerk now"
"What'd you say to her?"
"I kept on asking her if she liked Ryan and she said she loved you, I kept on asking her but she got mad and left"
"She said she loved me?"
"Yes, why?"
"She really does love me!"
"No kidding! she's cried over you, she's left you, she's cut herself for you, she's been in the hospital for you! she's done everything for you! she's risked her life for you and your only realizing that she loves you now?"
"I knew she loved me but I just wanted her to say it to my face, but if she told you then that's a good thing! You know where Ryan is?"
"Daniels house"
"Why?"
"He went to see why he cheated on Aja"
"You think he'll tell him?"
"Hopefully"
"Why time is he coming back?"
"I don't know! you call him!"
Ben just snapped at me.
"Ben what's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
"Ben! tell me!"
"I love Aja! I want to be with her, but she doesn't love me back! that's what's wrong!"
"Calm down! I know you love Aja but you can't have her! you'll find someone else"
"Whatever I'm going up stairs"
Well that was completely unexpected. why the hell is he getting so mad? he was so understanding the other day now what happened?
Aja's P.O.V.
I woke up an went down stairs.
"Dan!"
"Aja! I'm in here!"
I went into the guest bedroom.
"What are you doing...... Daniel.... um what are you doing here?
"
