i park my car right behind brian's n i turn off my car. i text mama n baba saying i made it to my friend's house n that mariah n brian are okay. i was about to open the door but daniel stopped me

daniel: wait...!
alex: okay. what's up?
daniel: alex what i said about your singing is true. you're amazing. like imagine being an amazing photographer but also an incredible singer like damn no fair.
alex: stawppppo i'm blushing
daniel: well it's the truth. n what i said earlier about being here for you is completely true. seriously alex i will be here for you no matter what the situation is or what time. anything n everything.
alex: but last time someone said that something horrible happened
daniel: i won't let that happen. between us or wit another person n you.
alex: i don't know...
daniel: n you don't need to know right now. i'm just telling you that i'll beat a bitch's ass for you. you don't need to trust me right away. it'll take time i know.
alex: okay. thank you daniel. this for real feel like dream. when y'all first started as a band i fell in love wit y'all. n knowing that i've known y'all for like 2 days n i've hung out wit y'all 3 times.
daniel: hey i thought i'll never find a girl like you n guess what i did. see we all win
alex: yeah i guess.
daniel: now lets get out n head to the others
alex: yeah smart

we both laugh n head out my car. i lock the car n we head up to the house. we go in seeing everyone on the couches.

jonah: what took y'all that long??
alex: we were talking.
corbyn: ooo about what??
daniel: stuff you don't need to know so shut up
corbyn: okay damn chill

i head to the living room n jump on brian.

brian: owwww what the fuck alex?
alex: oh stop being a baby lil bro
brian: i'll beat your ass alex.
alex: i'll like to see you try
jack: ooooo fight fight fight
alex: i'll beat your ass too jack
zach: i bet you can beat mine
alex: wanna see?

we both stand up. i got ready to pin zach but then daniel stands in between us.

daniel: hey children calm down
mariah: you should move daniel before she tackles you
brian: yeah she'll pin your ass before you can blink
alex: they right.
jonah: everyone just sit back down.
alex: whatever. i'll get y'all next time.

i head over to mariah n sit next her n start cuddling her. everyone just starts talking n mariah starts whispering to me

mariah: what did y'all talk about?
alex: he first asked how many people i dated. n i told him 3 of course.
mariah: did you tell him what happened wit your ex?
alex: no i don't know if i can trust him
mariah: you're actually stupid alex. i know you have trust issues now but like you can see he cares about you. what happened at your work shows that. he came to you first to comfort you. that says a lot
alex: yeah i guess
mariah: okay what else happened?
alex: we jammed out to music n he kinda heard me singing. then he couldn't believe that i can supposedly can sing when i can't
mariah: shut up alex n take a compliment about your singing. you're good
alex: whatever hoe
mariah: what else happened?
alex: when we parked like not even 10 minutes he told he that he's gonna he here for me no matter what n no matter what time. then he said that i can trust him but i told him i don't hand trust out to people like dat but then he said it'll take time but n he's willing to take all the time.
mariah: that's the cutest thing ever
alex; but what if he's gonna be like him ?
mariah: i know he ain't gon do that. you can tell
alex: i thought i could tell wit him but he still did it. i'm just scared i don't if i'm ready yet.
mariah: and that's okay. just try to get close with him n you'll figure out if you can trust him.
alex: okay
mariah: n if you want my opinion, i trust daniel. all i know from you liking em when they first started out as a band to know getting to know em i feel like we can trust em
alex: okay thank you. this helped a lot
mariah: yeah of course. that's why i'm your best friend duh
alex: true
mariah: now stop worrying n let's have fun
alex: okayyyyyyy
daniel: you good alex?
alex: yeah perfect
daniel: okay jus making sure

you keep eye contact wit daniel n y'all just both smile.

he's really nice. wow. ughhhh. i wanna let it out to someone who hadn't heard my story yet but i don't know if i can trust em. if i can trust daniel. i don't hand out trust like that. i just need someone new to talk to. you know? it's so hard talking to the same people about what happened. i feel like mariah or brian had enough of me talking about it but they can't show that be where this is a serious problem. it's just-

brian: hello earth to alex you dumb bitch
alex: oh sorry. i spaced out. whats up?
zach: do you want us to call our managers now?
alex: um it's up to y'all. what are y'all gonna tell him?
jonah: that you're an amazing photographer n that's true n we could use our personal photographer so if y'all can move into the guest house because y'all need a place to stay.
mariah: i think that's good. but alex the question is would you be their photographer?
alex: yeah it's sound like fun. y'all just don't for forget that we have like a few months of school left.
