Song for this chapter: You Make It Real by James Morrison.

I rubbed at my arms to stop the goose bumps that were rising from the brisk night air as I waited for Daniel to come his slow ass on. He was taking forever to find a park. I checked my phone for the time out of boredom, because honestly I had no where else to be. Deciding that he was grown enough to walk in on his own I entered the resteraunt to get out of the cold. It was so not a good idea to wear a dress in the middle of fall. Although I would have been fine if Daniel wouldn't have rushed me and I didn't forget my jacket.

The heat was blowing full force in this place and my skin buzzed in happiness, a chill running up my spine as the coldness left my bones. A young girl who looked about seventeen with a blonde bun on her head and an apron around her waist, stood at a podeium greeting the line of guest in front of me to have them seated.The place wasn't too busy for New York, it was a good group of people and a warm cozy atmosphere, one of my favorites actually. I tipped over in my heels, wishing I would have brought extra shoes and not stumbled back upon these foot killers.

Finally making my way to the front of the line The waitress seated me and I let her know another person would be joining me. She took my drink order as D finally arrived giving her his order as well.

She left to get our drinks as we settled in looking over the menu. Well I looked over the menu, Daniel thought I was more interesting. I let out a dramatic sigh to let him know his constant staring was annoying me. My heart beat at a fast pace and my palms were clamy, I was sitting here trying to concentrate on what I wanted to eat, meanwhile my stomach was in knots. Why did I even agree to this ? I always give these long speeches about how I hate the fact that Daniel keeps dragging me along, and then I give in again. If I don't take me seriously, why would he? Making a decision I dropped the menu and started to get up. Daniel watched me confused, "Where are you going?"

I sighed not really knowing, but wanting to get out of here. " I shouldn't have come." I looked at him and it was his time to sigh now, "Shy please just sit down, lets talk about this."

My heart was having an arguement with my mind, this is a second chance it said, and my mind fussed that he's already had too many of those. "Look Daniel, I know I agreed and I even came this far." I gestured around the resteraunt, blinking to myself because I too didnt understand. " I can't keep doing this." He made a face still confused. Elaborating I continued, "I give you all I've got when were arguing, and then I just let you tell me what I want to hear and we act like nothing ever happened."

Raising his eyebrows Daniel tucked in his bottom lip thinking things over. He stood up folding his arms, " Shyla, we argue like were a couple, but were not. Your my best-friend and you have to stop treating me like im suppose to be perfect." Taken aback, I put my hair behind my ear knowing anything else that was coming out of his mouth was going to be something to hear. " I screw up just like any other man, the difference is to you I'm D, the boy you had a crush on back in highschool, the boy who snuck into your bedroom window and messed around with you, but you told your deepest secrets to." I blushed at this.

"You keep playing with my emotions and your going to lose me." His face was stone cold serious as my mouth dropped.

Is this real life? Me playing with--" Daniel, when have I ever played with your emotions? You've sent me on more  loops than a roller coaster." He had to be out of his mind, he sighed and I gave him a pointed look, " And news Flash, I already lost you."

He shook his head and gave a humorless laugh, "You've never lost me Shyla, I lost you." Okay, he really is losing me. He must have seen how confused I was because he continued, "Everytime you turn your back on me and walk away, I lose you."
