Daniels POV:

I race down the highway, passing cars that are honking at us.

"Daniel slow down. You're going to kill someone!" Zach yells. I'm at least going 15 over the speed limit. Millions of possibilities are rushing through my head. What is it? What could Logan have found? I shake these thoughts out of my head. I need to focus on the road.

"Daniel, do you want to get to Logan's house safely?!" Jack shouts from the backseat. I grip onto the steering wheel tightly, not answering the question.

"Daniel!" Corbyn screams, which scares me. I jerk the wheel, causing me to almost hit someone. They blare their horn at me.

"Pull over. Right. Now." Jonah demands. He's always been the dad of the group. The responsible one. I've seen him mad before, but this wasn't like all the other times. His eyes were teary, and his gaze shot at me like he was disappointed at how stupid I've become.

I follow his commands and pull off to the side. Jonah gets out and walks over to the drivers side. I sigh, unbuckle my seatbelt, and go to the passengers. We ride in a tense silence until I realize how idiotic I was.

"I'm sorr-"

"You could've killed us." Jonah says calmly.

"I know, and I see that now. I was just in my thoughts a-and-"

"That's no excuse!" He raises his voice.

"J-Jonah."

"No! How would you have felt If you killed us?! You would have nothing but a lot of regret and sadness! God Daniel, we know you're upset, we all are! But being a reckless, selfish asshole isn't going to bring her back! Nothing will!" There's a few seconds of silence until he continues, "She'd be disappointed in you. Of how you turned out. You're not the man she fell in love with." Jonah finishes.

"You have no right to say that to me." I say.

"You're only pissed off because it's true!" He yells. And he's right. It is true. She would be disappointed in me. I'm not myself, the guy who was always smiling. Who had a perfect life. A perfect family, perfect friends, perfect girlfriend. I'm throwing all of that away because of my anger. Yes, I'm sad. But I'm also furious. At myself. I let her go to Europe with me. I let her backstage. I let her into my life even though I knew it was dangerous. I knew the risks. Love gets in the way of common sense. I just...She was my oxygen. I can't live without her in my life. I feel like everything I've worked for, everything I've ever done, is just crumbling down. I can't see what's in my future anymore because my future was Emma.

"We loved her just as much as you did." Jack adds, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, but you didn't love her to the point where she was all you could think about. Where all the time you were apart, you longed for her touch. And just wanted to smell her scent as she walked past you. When she talked to you, most of the time you couldn't listen because you're so God damned in love that all you can see is her beauty, shining through. You didn't plan on growing up and getting married. Or having children that you guys could raise together and make a family. Then your kids would grow up and you'd grow old together. Because I did. That's all I thought about! Emma was my world. And now she's gone. And if you want to sit here and say that I'm a selfish asshole for mourning the loss of my everything, go ahead. But you're the selfish ones for not seeing that everything I ever had is now gone. And I can't do a single fucking thing about it."

"Daniel.-"

"And yeah, I'm pissed. I'm pissed that I was the reason she died. I'm furious that she relied on me to protect her and I couldn't even do that. I'm so beyond mad because the one person that I could open up to about my deepest secrets, is gone and never coming back. I know I have to accept the fact that she's dead, but how can I just move on? This sadness and anger is risen up inside of me and I feel like I'm going to explode. There isn't a minute since she died that goes by that I don't think about putting a gun against my head and pulling the trigger." I cry.
