44. the weakest people

Oh, baby, you gotta stop, I see that you're calling
I told you that I ain't picking up
I know that you wanna start
'Cause we got our problems
I love you, but I just need a night off

Lou's POV

I made the stupid mistake of telling Porter that I was sick yesterday. His reply was short and sweet...

porter
i'll send over my best men to help with that :3

Little did I know he was actually going to send people over. Let alone the worst ones.

"Wake the fuck up you lazy ass bitch!" Nick and Logan scream at the same time, jumping up and down on my bed.

"You need to gulp this soup down farther than Logan's dick can go in any girl's mouth!" Nick sets a tray down on my nightstand as Logan slaps him on his arm.

"I mean I'm not wrong am I Lou?" Nick smirks at me and my mouth falls open.

"Logan and I have never!" I smack Nick in the face with my pillow as it then goes all the way across the room.

"You better watch your mouth!" Logan points his finger at Nick as I sit up against the backboard of my bed, Logan grabbing the tray and laying it down on my lap.

"Could you get me some Advil?" I ask Logan, "My head is throbbing." He obliges and heads out of my room as Nick snuggles up at the end of my feet, throwing his phone down on the bed beside him.

"You know after this you should take a lukewarm bath," he pauses, "I read it on google and-

"NO!" I shout, calming myself down, "No," I clear my throat, "I am not taking a bath." I shake my head as Logan comes back in with a glass of water and a pack of Advil.

"Oh my gosh, Nick you dickhead what did you do now?" Logan groans telling me it's okay before helping me down my pill because he knows I have issues with swallowing them.

"Nothing! Besides if anyone's a dickhead it's you-

"You two need a nap." I flat out tell them and they both looking at me with concerned and confused faces. Nick pointing his finger to his chest as if I was talking about the imaginary person behind him.

"Here," I slide over and make room for Logan to lay down under the covers with me while Nick grabs a blanket and throws it over himself at the very end of the bed. I turn on the tv and begin to eat my soup and all of a sudden Nick speaks.

"Louuuu can you make us cookies?" He asks me like a little toddler with puppy eyes. I tell him after I eat my soup I can make them. Besides, I've been in bed all day and my thoughts of Daniel have been interrupted by these two knuckleheads.

I can't believe I kissed him yesterday. I promise myself not to make any mistakes with him. I need to move on with my life and not think about him anymore. Why is that so difficult? It's not like I'm obsessed with him...or anything. He just pops up in my brain when I zone out and-

I'm doing it right now, aren't I? I smack myself in the head before getting up and putting my bowl in the sink. Thankfully we have the cookie dough that is already cut in squares to make it easier. I set them all out on a pan as I preheat the oven and wait for it to warm up.

After making cookies I find my way into my phone as I take the pan out and wait for them to cool down when a name flashes over my screen.

daniel

"Hello?" I ask, cringing at my quirkiness while clearing my throat. Basically sounding like a dying cat. My voice is killing me and sounds rushed.

"Can we talk?" His voice is tight and a little confused. A long sigh comes out from my mouth as I peek into my room noticing both Logan and Nick are asleep.

"Yes we can," I pause, "So what is it-

"No like I wanna talk to you in person. Can we do that? Maybe for coffee tomorrow or something if you don't wanna talk now? Kayla has that thanksgiving party soon and I want to do it before then." He reminds me of the small get together that Kayla is hosting at her mom's house for thanksgiving. Apparently, her parents are out of town and she wanted us all to stay and have thanksgiving with her and friends.

"Daniel...I kissed you because I didn't know what I was doing...From letting you take me home, buy me food, and let me take a bath I had no idea whatsoever," I sigh, "I don't wanna keep making mistakes like that with you. Promise me you won't let that happen?" I ask sincerely thumping my impatient foot on the ground beneath me.

Third POV

"..." Daniel gulped knowing that was not the way he wanted things to play out. "I won't let it happen. I'll see you on thanksgiving then." He hangs up quickly shoving his phone in his pocket.

Standing in front of her door, a red rose in his leather jacket that was once out and held by his hand. His head dropped down, his eyes staring at his feet.

Daniel was sad. He was in pain. A deep torturing hurt in his heart. Where he could barely hold onto anymore. He needed motivation. And Lou was his...

With those words he busted his fist down on the door, trying to bring himself to composure but not being able to hold it in this time.

Lou rushed to the door opening it and seeing Daniel who looked as if he were crying for at least twelve hours.

"I needed to see you." He wrapped his arms around her body, crying into her shoulder as she touched his back. Hugging him back after seconds of being confused.

From Lou's right ear she could hear his cries and sobs against her shirt, and out of the corner of her left eye, she spotted Nick and Logan poking their heads out.

"No." She shook her head and mouthed to them as they both walked into the room like they saw nothing.

"Daniel," she sighs, "This is exactly what I mean by a mistake. Look at me." She urges and Daniel slowly raises his head from her shoulder.

"You need to get over me. I'm here to let you meet the person that will be even better for you. She will be gorgeous and beautiful and-

"...but I want you," he chokes out.

"Daniel, I'm here for you but I need to figure myself out right now. I think we both need time don't you think? To become better versions of ourselves for ourselves. You can come to me if you need anything but I'm not stepping into another relationship at the moment you hear me? We need to take care of ourselves, Daniel. You can't keep running back to people when a relationship ends because it shows that you are weak. That you need someone to help you find your worth and that you can't handle life alone. Well Daniel Seavey I need you to show me how damn independent you can really be!"

Prove.

Me.

Wrong.
