i hooked my necklace around my neck and stared into my mirror, trying to even my breathing.
it was my high school reunion.
i'm 24 now and i've been living in los angeles, working as a reporter and journalist for the los angeles times. my life has been smooth. i've been making money, living in a very nice apartment with my dog.
i have everything i could ever want. except one thing.
daniel seavey.
we met in kindergarten and were infatuated with each other since the second we met. we were best friends through elementary school and began dating when we were in seventh grade. we were so in love. daniel was the best boyfriend in the world.
when we graduated, i went to college and daniel joined a band. our paths were so different, so we broke it off. which was the dumbest decision ever. we haven't talked to each other since the day we broke up. about a year ago, i went to one of his concerts, but i had to leave early as i broke down in tears. even just seeing him made me burst into tears.
daniel was going to be there tonight. i didn't have a doubt in my mind that he was going to be there. i know daniel probably better than he knows himself. he might be rich and famous, but i know he would never miss a high school reunion.
i slipped my heels on and pulled my leather jacket on, grabbing my keys and leaving my parents house. i drove to my old high school, forced myself out of my car, and into my old gym.
i found a few of my old friends and joined their conversation, laughing at old memories as we had a drink together.
suddenly, my friend pulled me to the side.
"hey, look," she said, pointing her finger.
i followed her finger to see my ex boyfriend, the one and only daniel standing in the doorway. tears sprung to my eyes, he looked gorgeous. his hair was blond now and he was a lot taller and way more fit. his eyes were still a piercing blue and he still had his adorable little tooth gap.
"oh my god," i breathed, wanting nothing more than to hide at the moment.
"go talk to him," my friend encouraged.
"i-i can't. i have to go," i said, running away to the bathroom.
i rushed into the girls bathroom, locking myself in a stall and trying to get myself together.
he was the love of my life, he still is. seeing him brought back all the memories and it was so overwhelming.
all of a sudden, i heard the bathroom door open and i tensed up, not really wanting to be found by my friends right now.
fear shot through me as i saw men's dress shoes walking in the tile.
it wasn't one of my friends.
it was a dude.
"c'mon, i know you're in the stall. you used to hide in here when you were upset about something, don't think i forgot about that."
i froze.
daniel really just walked into the girls bathroom.
"i'll wait outside, you can't stay in there forever," daniel said.
i could hear his smirk and i wanted to scream. i shakily unlocked the stall and slowly opened the door, revealing the man i though i would spend the rest of my life with.
"hey there," he said softly, clearly concerned as he saw tears rolling down my face.
he didn't hesitate to pull me into his chest, comforting me like he used to. it still felt the same as it did in high school. he was still my sweet dani.
"don't cry. you're going to ruin all your makeup. you look too beautiful to be crying right now," he said sweetly.
i pulled away and glanced down at his hand, seeing a wedding band around his left ring finger.
"o-oh," i stuttered, backing away.
my tears fell even faster as i realized that he truly belonged to another woman.
"what?" he asked, sensing how i was even more upset.
"y-you're married!" i cried, trying to put on a fake smile.
he looked down at his finger and then began laughing hysterically.
"why are you laughing at me?" i asked defensively.
"no, no, honey, i'm not laughing at you. i...this isn't a wedding ring, it's just a random ring that i like to wear. i'm not married," he said, pulling me back into his arms.
"oh," i said, clinging to him once again.
"why would i marry someone that isn't you?" he suddenly asked, making my heart beat a mile a minute.
"why did we ever break up, daniel? we were so dumb! we graduated high school like seven years ago and i've missed you every second of every day for the past seven years!" i started crying again, just so overwhelmed with emotion.
"hey, hey, stop. stop crying, shh," he whispered, wiping my tears while keeping his arms secured around my waist.
"i mean, this wasn't anything like how i imagined it. growing up, i always thought we'd be married by now. i just miss you so much," i said.
"well, then you're lucky because im not going anywhere. you live in LA don't you?" he asked.
"yeah. i did it, by the way. i work for the LA times. i told you i could do it," i said, referring to the way i used to tell him my dreams when we were kids.
"i never doubted you for a second. but hey, you live in LA, i live in LA and i'm pretty sure we have a lot of unfinished business," he said, giving me the eyes i know all too well.
"no, no, no, we just met up again and our entire high school alumni is out there right no-"
"can you just shut up so we can make out," he said, his lips already grazing mine.
i smashed my lips onto his, my hands running through his hair and scratching his scalp gently. his hands roamed, but i didn't mind, i trusted him more than anyone.
he broke the kiss and rested his forehead against mine, kissing my cheek lovingly.
"i kinda wanna fuck you right now," he whispered, pulling me closer if that was even possible.
"well, there's always the old spot," i smirked, referring to our hookup spot from when we were in high school.
he kissed me again and then grabbed my hand, pulling me with him.

i stood in the kitchen, preparing a huge feast with daniel's bandmate's wives.
the boys were coming home from tour today and we all wanted to surprise them with a nice dinner, so we've been cooking and baking all day long.
jack's daughter and my daughter were running around in the backyard, playing.
yes, my daughter.
let's just say daniel didn't have a condom on him that day we hooked up at our high school reunion four years ago.
corbyn's wife and i set the table when all of a sudden, we heard the front door opening and loud footsteps.
it didn't take long for all of us to run to our husbands, jumping into their arms and kissing them.
"baby, it smells good in here. what did you make?" daniel asked as he hugged me tight.
"we all made a bunch of good for you guys to welcome you home. but your daughter is in the backyard, so i think you should go say hi to her," i smiled, watching as he dropped his bag and ran to the backyard.
i stood on the patio outback as i watched our daughter scream in joy and run to daniel, squealing as he lifted her up.
"daddy! it's about time you're home," she smiled, holding onto daniel tightly.
"i know, i know. your mom and your aunts made us a bunch of food, so i think we should go get some dinner," he smiled, brushing hair out of our daughters face.
she nodded and let daniel carry inside. she instantly jumped out of daniel's arms, running to her uncles once she saw them standing in the kitchen.

it was now nighttime and we were all cuddled up around a fire. i sat in daniel's lap, watching as jonah taught the kids how to roast marshmallows.
i leaned back and kissed daniel's forehead, just glad to have him home. he smiled and pulled me down, kissing my lips.
all of a sudden, something was thrown at us, causing us to break the kiss.
there were marshmallows all over us, zach and jack holding back a laugh.
"did you just throw that at us?" i asked, causing them to laugh.
"you two are children," i sighed, watching as daniel slowly grabbed a box of gram crackers.
he heaved the box at zach and we all started laughing as zach fell backwards into the grass.
"daniel! that hurt you son of a bitch!" zach whined, picking grass out of his hair.
"uncle zach said a bad word!" jacks daughter screeched, all of us laughing again.
i leaned down again and kissed daniel, finishing what i had started.
"i love you," i whispered.
"do you love me enough to let me make you scream my name? baby number two isn't such a bad idea," he whispered.
"you just got home, how are you already horny? you got issues," i giggled.
"c'mon, don't you want to make another baby with me?"
"daniel james, i could break your nose if i wanted to," i warned.
"fine, fine, but you owe me extra kisses," he said.
i shook my head and rested back against his chest.
as i looked around, i silent thanked god that we met up at our high school reunion. i wouldn't be here if we didn't.
i closed my eyes and enjoyed the peaceful moment, daniel rubbing my shoulder softly.
that was until we heard our daughter and jacks daughter erupt into loud laughter.
"mommy! uncle corbyn got marshmallow everywhere!" our daughter shrieked, pointing to corbyn who was covered in marshmallow.
"seriously, daniel. i'm not kidding, your bandmates are children."
"yeah, but i love them. and i love you."
"i love you too."
