"i'm sorry"// daniel seavey

part thirty two

zach is running towards me. i get out my car n zach gets behind me.

alex: zach are you okay
zach: THEY ARE GOING TO KILL ME
alex: who?
zach: THEY ARE-

before zach can say anything else you see the rest of the boys coming out the house looking pissed or annoyed or mad. zach screams. my arms are around him. protecting him.

daniel: alex move. i need to beat zach's ass.
alex: no. i'm protecting his stupid ass. what did he even do?
corbyn: he keep farting in our rooms. 

i look back at zach n i'm dying of laughter

alex: nice one herron
zach: hey thanks.
jack: did you just say "nice one herron"?
alex: yeah...?
jonah: okay you're weird
alex: what i used to do that on brian when we were little.
daniel: uh okay.
corbyn: you know what never mind. imma go back n eat chips
jack: same. i'm done wit zach
jonah: aren't we all
zach: hey i'm right here.
daniel: yeah whatever.

they all go back inside. i let go of zach. n then he hugs me.

zach: thank you alex. you're a lifesaver
alex: of course. now next time don't get caught
zach: okay fine.

he heads back inside. i lock my car n go to our house. i go upstairs to see that mariah isn't in her room. maybe she's in their house. i open my door n throw my bag. i open my closet to put my shoes away. the mariah comes barging out. scaring me.

alex: fuck you you fucking piece of shit
mariah: damn. didn't know you would get that scared.
alex: i thought you left
mariah: why? i have nothing to do
alex: like i thought you went to the guys place
mariah: nah i was sleeping the whole day. then i heard zach yelling so i went to check it out n he was hiding behind you so i wanted to scare you
alex: oh well thanks for giving me a heart attack
mariah: always my pleasure

mariah: nothing happened yet. we're just flirting wit each other 24/7. well he is most of the part. n he keeps texting me when we're both up in the middle of the night.
alex: instead of texting he can meet you in our backyard or his. i feel like ours would be a better option. 
mariah: that's true. smart.
alex: i know i am.
mariah: anyway what happened between you n daniel? anything new?
alex: we keep hugging n i get butterflies in my stomach when we touch.
mariah: ahhh sounds like a teenage love story.
alex: i'm not a teenager n so ain't he.
mariah: i know i'm not stupid.
alex: you sure bout that?
mariah: shut up
alex: anyway n we keep flirting n he gets like horny a lot. when i say "make me" he like goes crazy.
mariah: i thought that was like a myth about boys
alex: me too haha
mariah; well i'm just proud of you for not thinking about him
alex: me too. after almost a year i can finally do it.
mariah: well let's go to the guys.
alex: bet

i grab my phone n we head out to theirs. we barge in to see all of em in the living room arguing. again.

alex: woahhhhh what's all of this?
zach: they're being mean again
mariah: how?
zach: they're calling me names
daniel: can you blame us?
corbyn: it's so easy
alex: just because he's young doesn't mean you can make fun of him...
zach: thank y-
