Bad Timing ~ A Daniel Seavey Fanfiction

Chapter 22

So I'm writing this chapter at 1am , if it's a lil messy I sincerely apologise . I love u guys, thank u for 10k ❤️

Bella's POV

I woke up to a loud ringing sound in which immediately jolted my body awake as I observed my surroundings, quickly remembering where I was and the events that went down last night. I didn't recall setting an alarm but was surprised to see that it was Daniel ringing , I smiled. Surely the sound of his voice would soothe my anxieties that had overcome me in my sleep. I had dreamt of my mother continuously kicking and punching me, shouting abusive and cruel words at me as I collapsed onto the ground. My dad was yelling at me to run, to be free. I shook the nightmare out of my head and focused on Daniels call, I never wanted to think about it again .

Nightmares had been a reoccurring thing for me lately . After Conner had tried to assault me they had begun , most of them were about Conner , putting his slimy hands all over me, in places that made me feel vulnerable and scared . They had only really stopped when I had been staying with Daniel.... which I was grateful for as him waking up at 3am to the sound of me screaming definitely did not make me look good at all.

Swiping the phone call to accept I placed the phone up to my ear and lay back down in bed , smiling slightly . "Daniel" - I whispered , wanting to hear his voice

"Bella , hi, are you okay? "- he sounded concerned which made my heart leap . He continuously got me feeling some type of way whenever we spoke

"I'm fine Daniel , you don't need to worry about me , I can handle myself"- I chuckled lightly knowing how quickly Daniel began overthinking things , I thought it was cute

"I can't just NOT worry about you Bella, my main priority is to make you happy , you shouldn't have to handle yourself all the time , you should let me be able to worry about you and be there for you. You just relax- Daniel spoke so softly and sincerely and sometimes I really wondered how he seemed to always find the right thing to say

I didn't want to disagree with him because in all honesty I knew that he wouldn't let me feel stressed or lonely without giving me some type of comfort and I knew that now. I knew he wouldn't leave me, he wasn't like my parents . But I also knew that I couldn't just relax , I didn't know how

I sighed

"Okay"- I replied and I could hear him smile on his end of the line

"Thank you"- he spoke sweetly, his voice soft , warm, and welcoming

Accepting

Respectful

Sincere

It made me feel empowered , like my life was somewhat in control , that even though the fate of my future was all in my hands, somehow that wasn't scary to me, because I knew Daniel would be with me and he was my motivation

"Bella, would you mind telling me what motel your staying at?"- Daniel asked with curiosity

Why would he be asking where I was staying ? I mean I didn't mind telling him at all but it's not like it mattered

I shrugged it off and replied

"The one in mayvilles. I don't know the exact name but it's the only one in this area so it's bound to be on the internet if you would want to look it up" - I replied

Daniels POV

I was relieved when Bella didn't question why I was asking her what motel she was staying in. I mean I could easily make up some reason but I didn't want to lie to her , even though she would find out soon enough why I actually wanted to know , something felt off about not telling her the truth
