It's complicated

Chapter 52

* Daniella's dress is pictured to the side.*

Daniella's POV

I glare at Seth as he sits across from me in his hotel room. I've been stuck having to be by Seth's side for five days. Of course I've tried sneaking off with AJ when we see each other but he always seems to find me. Right now for example, I attempted to hide in the cleaning lady's cart when she was cleaning up. Turns out she saw me and ran to get Seth since I was "snooping through his hotel room". The two of us exchange glares as we try to settle this.

"So, tell me again why you tried sneaking away from the cleaning lady's cart." Seth says leaning forward. I groan as I put my head in my hands. His laugh echoes through the room as I slowly look up at him. Seth's eyes are closed and his head is thrown back. Aggravation runs through me as I stand up from the seat. Seth finally notices I'm out of the seat and he watches as I go to my suitcase.

"Where do you think you're going Daniella? Seth asks standing up to face me.

"I am going out with AJ tonight." I said pulling out a short purple dress. Seth yanks it out of my grasp and throws it on the ground. I continue looking through my suitcase with Seth looking on. I see nothing to wear until I found it. A simple one-shouldered black dress that goes to my mid thigh. Before Seth could grab it, I rush to the bathroom and lock the door behind me. I sigh as I look at the material in my hands. Here goes nothing.

Seth's POV

Daniella has been in the bathroom for fifteen minutes. I pace around the hotel room until she steps out. Daniella walks out in that dress with her hair in curls. She makes her way over to her shoes and grab her black high heels. Daniella must've noticed I'm watching because she looks at me with a confused face.

"Why are you looking at me like that Seth?" Daniella asks as she sits down on the couch. I clear my vice and scratch the back of my neck. She tilts her head to the side waiting for my answer. I shake my head in response as she continues to get ready. Daniella sits in front of the mirror and starts putting on eyeshadow and lipstick.

"So where are you and AJ going tonight?" I asked curiously. She just shrugged her shoulders in response as she grabbed her small purse. She looks in the mirror one more time before grabbing her phone and car keys and is out the door. I look around the hotel room and all I feel is emptiness. Daniella's presence still lingers here but I can't find the source of it. I just pray she doesn't get in trouble.

Daniella's POV

I finally pull into the driveway of a smell house and can hear music coming from the back. I walk inside and immediately hit with the smell of alcohol and smoke. My eyes scan the room for AJ until I spot her with Phil's arm wrapped around her waist. My body squeezes through a large group of people that stand in the middle of the room and ignore the whistles I receive from guys.

"Hey you guys." I say as I finally stand next to them. AJ pulls me into a tight hug before I say a quick hello to Phil. The three of us look around the room before we decide to head outside. Outside is much different from the inside. There is still alcohol out here as well as cigarettes but not as much to where you feel sick just by smelling the air.

A couple of guys tried talking to me, but Punk was quick to have them leave. I sat alone as AJ and Phil danced with a couple of other couples at this house party I guess. Part of me wanted to drive back to the hotel and just talk to Seth but I just can't. That will make it seem like I want to give him another chance. If I could leave that hotel room, I would. But we all know what would happen if Hunter and Stephanie would do to me if they found out I left that hotel room without Seth knowing.
