Chapter Twenty Three

Joey's P.O.V.

I needed some time last night to calm down and Daniel really wasn't giving it to me. I can't believe he said those things about me. No, he probably didn't mean it. But for some reason deep down inside I feel like he is playing me. Now that might just be the uptight part of me talking, but I don't think so.

When I wake up I hear sobbing, Daniel. I guess I kinda have to see if he is okay. I feel kinda bad for making him sleep on the floor.

I walk over to him and sure enough, he is laying there crying in his sleep. I can faintly make out what he is saying. It is just a string of please Joey. Forgive me. Joey I really care about you. Please don't do this to me. Don't take my one purpose away from me... please. And after he sobbed for another few seconds I sat down next to his chest facing him. I ran my hands through his hair and he jolted awake.

"Are you okay?" I say when his eyes are as big as an elephant, staring at me. He doesn't reply. He just sits uo and hugs me, tightly. He must really care about me after all.
"I am sorry I am such an ass to you. Just please, for the love of god, don't leave me," Daniel says with a slight sob into my shoulder.
"You aren't an ass. You're just insensitive sometimes. I won't leave you. I just needed some time to calm down and you weren't giving it to me last night," I say rubbing his back to try to calm him down.

Daniel pulls away from the hug and looks me in the eyes.
"What?" I say as I stare into his sleepy, puffy eyes.
"Why?" Daniel says just looking at me extremely confused.
"Why what?" I say with a little chuckle slipping from between my lips.
"Joey you could have any guy in the world. You could do anything in the world. But you chose to be with me. And I just want to know, Why?" Daniel says with shaky breaths. Is he nervous?
"You're right. I could have anything I want. I could be anything I want," I say harsh just to scare Daniel. He looks down into his lap. I put my fingers under his chin and make him look me in the eyes, "but I want to sleep next to you. I want to come home with you. And I want to hold hands with you. Daniel, I want to get close to you. And I would rather fuel my fantasys with you than deal with them with anyone else," I say running my thumb over his cheek bone.
"You're amazing. You know that don't you?" Daniel says grabbing the wrist of my hand that is stroking his cheek.
"So i've heard," I say with a smirk plastered all over my face.

Daniel leans in to kiss me when we hear a knock at the door. I scurry away from him and get to my bed as I hear someone unlocking it. I grab my phone and act like I am looking at it and I can see Daniel down there fake sleeping.
"Boys, it is time for breakfast," Daniel's dad says to us as he looks at me with suspicion.
"Okay. We will be down in a minute," I say as he shuts the door.

As I am getting up to go downstairs I think of everything I want with Daniel in my life.

I wanna come home to you. But home is just a room full of my safest sounds.
