"Anna Banana, come play with me," Daniel called from downstairs.
"Wait DanDan," I called back.
"But Anna I'm bored"
"WAIT DANIEL," I yelled.
"Okay Annabelle," Daniel said sadly. I hated that sad voice, Daniel never deserved to be sad. I ran downstairs and threw my arms around him.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you. Sorry DanDan"
"It's okay Anna Banana, I'm sorry for bothering you"
"Daniel, you will never bother me. You're my favourite person to hang out with." I smiled at him.
I woke up. I remember that, when he was my favourite person to hang out with. I remember all the memories we had together. I remember all the fun and crazyness we did together. I missed Daniel so much. Why did I push him away? I could have still been his best friend if I hadn't made that stupid mistake. Even if I was in love him, I could have still been his best friend. At least I would hang out with him, not have him hate me like now.
"I miss you Daniel," I said quietly. I miss the Daniel that always made me smile no matter what. I want him back. That's all I want. I want my Daniel back.
But he will never come back..
I know he won't. I blew my chance with him. I wish he loved me, then everything would have been perfect. We would have been dating, and my life would have been complete.
I didn't realize I was crying until I felt tears touch my mouth. I need to stop crying for Daniel. I hated how he had the power to do that to me.
If only Daniel knew that every night I cry for him to come back to me. Everynight I wake up to one of our memories together, and can't control the tears coming down because I know there will be no more. I never want to cry but I can't help it. When he used to look at me, I was the happiest person in the world. His bright energetic smile, brought happy tears to my eyes. Now, when he looks at me, it still being tears to my eyes but that's because of the cold stares he gives me.
And whose fault is that?
I know it's my fault, but I was only twelve. I wasn't thinking.
"Come back Daniel, I promise I will never let you go," I whispered to myself. I cried some more. Why do I still want him? I know he's a rude jerk. But I'm certain that my DanDan is still in there. Deep down, there's the Daniel I know and love.
"Annabelle, what's wrong?" I looked up and found my mom looking worried at my door. I felt bad for waking her up.
"Anna sweety, why are you crying?" She walked to me and enveloped me in a hug.
"Mom"
"Yes sweety?"
"I miss Daniel," I said, and cried again. No one know's this sad and regretful feeling I have. No one understands how I feel.
"Hunny, it's okay, Daniel will be back soon"
"No mom, he hates me," My voice cracked.
"Annabelle, no he doesn't. He is just going through a tough time"
"He is having the time of his life, I'm the one crying night and day. Mom, I just want him back. I know I'm the one who did all this to myself, but mom, I miss him. I just want my DanDan back," I let the waterworks flow. I couldn't hold all the tears in. I looked at my mom and she was tearing a bit too.
"Annabelle, I'm so sorry, but I promise you he will come back." She gave me a kiss, said goodnight then left my room. My mom can sort of understand what I'm going through, she witnessed how happy I am with Daniel and how sad I am now. Shouldn't I be happy I don't have this Daniel as a best friend? But I'm not. Maybe I should just talk to him, tell him how I feel? Yeah right, I can't even look at him without getting butterflies in my stomach, there's no way I can tell him how I feel.
I realized I'm not going back to sleep so I went to the bathroom to freshen up. It's finally friday, I can just hang out with Melenie and forget about my problems. Well I can try to forget about them.
"Good Morning Annabelle," My dad said.
"Good Morning daddy," I replied.
"Have a good sleep?"
"Perfect," I lied.
***
"ANNABELLE." I turned around and Melenie was running towards me.
"Why don't you answer your phone?" She asked angerly.
"Sorry it was off"
"Okay but listen, Linc wants to ask you out," Melenie blurted out.
"What?"
"Linc.Wants.To.Ask.You.Out," She sounded out each syllable.
"He does?" Should I be happy? Maybe he can help me forget about Daniel.
"You're supposed to be happy Belles, he'll help you forget about Daniel, and he's a cutie"
"But Melenie, I still sort of love--"
"I know," She cut me off.
"Mels, are you supposed to be telling me this?"
"No, so when Linc asks you, act surprised" She smiled reassuringly.
"Look who's coming this way" She winked, and walked away.
"Hey Linc" I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him tight. Though, I like Daniel, I always found Linc's hugs comforting.
"Hey Annabelle" He wrapped his arms around my waist tightly, but I didn't mind.
"How are you?" I asked.
"Good, you?"
"Great." I put on a convincing fake smile. I didn't like to be sad around Linc, he was always a happy person.
"Annabelle, I was wondering if you would like to go out?" He asked scratching the back of his neck. Linc was pretty straight forward and got to the point. I noticed he got tanner, he looked hotter like that.
"Like a date? Or boyfriend girlfriend?"
"I'm going to rephrase that sentence"
"Okay" I chuckled.
"Do you want to be my girlfriend Annabelle?"
I thought about it. Do I want to be his girlfriend? He is so cute and sweet, but I feel bad going out with him while I still like Daniel. But maybe this can help me forget about Daniel.
"Sure Linc" I smiled and held his hand.
"Really?"
"Of course" I hope this will help me forget about Daniel. Maybe I can end up loving Linc. Linc wouldn't betray me.
Annabelle, Daniel didn't betray you. You betrayed him.
I shook all thoughts of Daniel out of my head. I'm Linc's girlfriend. As I walked hand in hand with Linc, I saw Daniel from the corner of my eye, and my heart skipped a beat. This isn't supposed to happen. I'm not going to let him hurt me. I tiptoed and gave Linc a kiss on his cheek. That'll show Daniel. I felt bad because I kissed Linc to get back at Daniel. Daniel probably doesn't care, he'll just shrug it off like he does with everything.

"OH MY GOD I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU ANNABELLE," Melenie skrieched.
"Mels, I'm gonna need my hearing"
"Sorry, but you guys are cute together" She sighed.
"Thanks"
"You are happy right?"
"Of course" I smiled, but this time it wasn't fake. Linc's a really good guy, I should feel lucky he's my boyfriend. Who cares about Daniel?
You do.
No I don't.
Yes you do.
Shut up, what do you know?
Everything you do.
I shook out all thoughts of Daniel, and this time I mean all thoughts. I'm supposed to be forgetting him, not arguing about him.
"Hey babe" Luke kissed Melenie. Melenie held the collar of his shirt and brought his face towards her, she kissed him deeply. I didn't really want to watch it, so I turned around, only to bump into a hard chest and fall back. Smooth, I thought to myself. Whoever I bumped into caught me and pulled me back up.
"Sorry..oh" I looked to see Daniel. How come I always seem to bump into him? Literally. I just registered what he just said. Oh? So when he bumps into me, he doesn't have to say sorry.
"Oh?" I questioned.
"I didn't know it was you, though I should have, you seem to be pretty clumsy"
Say a retort Annabelle. Don't let him talk to you like that.
I didn't say anything. I saw Linc walking towards us, so I ran up to him and lunged at him, wrapping my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck.
"Hey" He smiled.
"Hi Linc"
"I see you're excited to see me" He waggled his eyebrows. I rolled my eyes.
"Sure, Linc" I stuck my tongue, but I forgot how close our face were, so I accidently licked him. I expected him to say something like 'ew, gross' but he just chuckled.
"Sorry"
"It's okay Annabelle" He kissed my cheek. I got off him and held his hands.
