I helped Olivia put on her swimsuit before heading downstairs, of course I didn't put on a bikini because. Well one, I don't have the money to afford a new one and since 16 my figure has changed. Let's say I look more like an hourglass now then I did when I was 16. And 2, because of the hideous bruise on my face hidden behind makeup.
"Oh, are you not coming swimming?" Asked a sad daniel. He along with the boys and Gabbie all had swim wear on. Guess that I will be alone whilst they swim in their own pool.
Wish I could even afford the water for the pool. In my dreams..
"No, sorry," I replied. His frown being clear to everyone.
"You can stay on the couch kenzie or come outside if you like," said jonah " there's loads of sweets and food in the kitchen your welcome to have.
"Don't eat the jolly ranchers though ," spoke jack with a warning voice and humour in it. Gabbie giggled at him and I laughed nodding.
"Um I think I will just crash the sofa and get some sweets - but not jolly ranchers" I said laughing and all the boys plus Gabbie and Olivia nodded.
Daniel took olivias hand and headed outside to the pool. If only he knew the hand he was holding belonged to his daughter...

After watching a few rick and Morty episodes, I heard footsteps heading my way so I lifted the bag of butterscotch popcorn off of my knee and turned.
It was daniel, I smiled. Behind him, the racket of everyone splashing in the outside pool bellowed before daniel shut the door.
"Hey," we both said simultaneously before both blushing and laughing slightly.
"Um, I uh got bored of swimming, so I came into see you," Daniel spoke as he walked over to me. His classic tooth gap smile was showing.
"Sorry, but I doubt being with me is less boring then swimming," I laughed but he just rolled his eyes shaking his head.
He sat down right next to me and I could feel him shivering. Coming out of swimming pools did tend to make me cold too.
"Oh wow you obsessed with Rick and morty," he laughed at me.
"It's a good show, but to be honest with you, this episode that's on now I have watched over 50 times. I don't want to get sick of it by watching it again," I giggled.
I scooted over to daniel a bit more so we were touching and pushed some of the blanket that was on me onto him. I lifted it up so it covered his whole body and mine too barely.
"Aw thanks," he smiled looking down at me. He was still shivering but it was less.
"Here, you can put on a movie" I said handing him a remote. He took it and put on the random picker on Netflix (( imagine that's a thing)) and on came a new movie I had never seen before named after.
On came the film and yes, of course it was a romance. I was watching a romance next to the father of my child. Next to the one who I lived and honestly, still do.
I leant back against the cushions and started to watch the film.

Of course the film was unbelievably cute. We were up to the scene of the lake and Hardin was helping her into it, so carefully.
I turned slightly to look up to Daniel kind of wishing that it was us in this situation. But it couldn't be. He has a girlfriend.
I must of been staring a while as Daniel turned around to smile at me " you know there's a lake near here that we could go to, it's similar to this one," he spoke, almost reading my thoughts.
" we could go there together sometime," he smiled, " if you would like". I nodded in response before feeling his arm slowly curl around my shoulder, pulling me slightly closer to him so my head was resting on his chest.
Slowly, after listening to his heartbeat, I began to feel myself slowly going to sleep..
