daniel was released from the hospital today

i'm so happy that he's ok

i don't know what i'd do if he wasn't, what we'd all do

it's noon and we're just eating lunch on the couch

i haven't really left daniels side since the day it happened

he doesn't act like he doesn't like it, plus i feel better being with him

he just lets me cuddle him and hold his hand and be with him

i just feel so scared that something is gonna happen

i need him to be ok

he got up and i stayed sitting on the couch, letting go of his arm i had a tight grip on

"you coming z?"

i shook my head and looked back at the tv

i feel like i'm being too clingy, he's probably annoyed

he came back from putting his plate away and put his arms out to me, basically telling me to hug him

i got up and he pulled me into his arms, eventually picking me up and holding me

"what are you doing dani?"

"you're coming with me. we're gonna go watch a movie."

i nodded and he carried me upstairs to his room

we watched movies all day until dinner

jonah called us for dinner and we reluctantly got up, feeling lazy and not extremely hungry

"thanks for dinner jo."

he smiled and nodded, setting a plate in front of me

the entire time we ate i couldn't help but worry

what if daniel chokes? what if he stops breathing again? what if-

"you ok zachy?"

i shot out of my thoughts as i felt someone's hand on my back

i calmed down when i realized it was just daniel

"i'm fine dani. just not that hungry."

"you feeling ok bub?"

i nodded and let his hand fall into mine

he kept squeezing my hand slightly throughout dinner, maybe to tell me it's ok, i'm not quite sure but it was comforting

"alright boys, movie night to celebrate daniel coming home. i'll grab snacks you guys choose a movie and no fighting please."

we all agreed and stood up, going into the living room and plopping on the couch

daniel pulled me towards him and let my body snuggle into his

i'm worried about zach

i don't know what's going on but he's been really, i don't know different, since we got home today

just kind of clingy, anxious maybe, i'm not quite sure

maybe he's worried about me, i don't blame him, what happened was traumatic for all of us

i know how much he hates talking about feelings and stuff so i don't want to ask him because if anything it'll make him more upset
