Connor's POV
After what had happened at the beach the day before I was so confused. I texted Daniella over and over again just to see if she was okay and everything but she didn't care. She was just pushing me away, and I needed to fix that.
The next morning I got up from my bed and went to go get dressed. When I opened my closet door I realized I didn't have lots of summer clothes to wear. I decided to go to the mall to get some new clothes.
After searching through my closet I found a tank top. Once I slipped it on I saw that it was a little tight but for now it would do. I rummaged through my drawers to find some shorts. Finally when I was done getting dressed I headed to the bathroom to style my hair in the usual quiff.
Once I finished styling my hair I put on my favorite black sun glasses. A couple of minutes later I was out the door and heading to the mall.
••Driving••
Finally I had reached the mall. I found a parking spot and parked my car. Once I got out and shut the door I turned my key in the lock and secured my car.
Walking away from my car I twirled my keys with my fingers. I tried to whistle while doing this but failed. I really can't whistle.
I opened the door and walked right inside. I tried to think about which stores I should go first.
Randomly I saw Hollister. I shrugged and decided that I could just pick a up a couple shirts.
••Shopping in Hollister••
Surprisingly I found more than I thought I would. I actually found most of what I needed. I got a couple shorts and tank tops. I even found a pair of flip flops to match with an outfit I picked out.
Walking out of the Hollister I saw Urban Outfitters. I started to walk over there when I noticed some commotion towards the food court. Instead of going into another store I went to check out what was going on.
Halfway there I saw that there was someone stumbling around coming my way. I increased my pace and kept watching the girl. Her head was facing down and she held her stomach. She looked as if she was in some sort of pain.
I got closer and closer. She tripped on her feet and fell to her knees. I was a couple feet away now. I was close enough to help her up. Without looking up she pushed me away. I stood back as she hoisted herself up.
She swayed as she tried to steady herself. Others tried to help her like I did but she again pushed them away. Even so she did that I stayed as close as I could.
She took a couple more steps and stopped. I tried to speak and ask her what was wrong but I stopped myself. She stood uneasily and breathed very heavily. She looked as if she was going to be sick.
She lifted her head slightly and I gasped when I recognized her. It was Daniella.
I realized her skin tone was getting paler by the second. Now it all added up. Her stumbling must of meant she was lightheaded and her paleness meant she was about to pass out.
I positioned my self in front her. She stopped once again and without warning began to fall forward on to her knees.
I threw my one bag of clothes down. I ran to her and caught her before she hit the ground completely. I held her in my arms and rested her head on my chest. I listened to her now calm and light breathing. She seemed so peaceful even so a second ago she was scrambling frantically for who knows what.
The people surrounding us were silent. One spoke up and asked me a question.
"Is she okay?"
I was about to speak when the woman followed her first question with another.
"Do you know her?"
"Yes and yes. She's going to fine." I said looking at the woman then smiling.
"Alright," she smiled. "I'll take your word for it."
Once that woman left several followed. Than others stood to the side and watched casually as I attempted to pick Daniella up. One guy helped me stand her straight and I thanked him before he walked away.
I began to walk carrying Daniella with one of her arms over my shoulder. I also had to worry about my bag of clothes. That of which was in my other hand. It was not easy but I managed to get her to the food court and sit her in a chair. I set my bag on the table.
I sat in the chair opposite to Daniella. I slid mine side to side with hers and took out my phone. I started to text my mom and say I wouldn't be home for a bit.
Once I had sent my text I clicked the off button on my phone and set it down on the table beside me. I tapped my foot and looked around me.
Rebecca's POV
After I ordered Daniella and I's Subways I seated myself towards the entrance of the food court. I waited impatiently for her to return.
Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed. Frustrated I stood without grabbing any of my things except my phone. I walked to the beginning of which the food court starts. I looked out and saw no one familiar.
I grunted and turned around. Unlocking my phone I dialed Daniella's phone number. I crossed my arms as I held my phone to my ear.
"Come on, come on, come on." I muttered tapping my foot on the floor.
"Hi,"
"Daniella!? Where are yo--"
"You've reached Daniella leave a message after the beep!" the voice mail finished.
I hung up the phone and eagerly dialed her phone again.
Once again I was put through to we voicemail. I dialed her number one last time.
Ringing, ringing, until..silence
"Rebecca?" a voice said.
"Daniella! Thank The Lord!" I exclaimed.
"Daniella? No it's me Connor!" the voice replied.
Confused I took my phone away from my ear and looked at my screen. Turns out I must of accidentally hung up. Still confused I looked away from my screen to find none other than Connor Franta.
"Connor?! Why are you here? Talking to me?" I asked confused and a little angry.
"Well you see, your best friend, Daniella,"
"Did you do something to her?! Where is she!?" I asked frantically getting angrier by the second.
"Calm down! Geez give a guy a second to talk will you?!" he laughs awkwardly.
"Alright." I gave in.
"I was about the to walk into Urban Outfitters when I saw a crowd." he began.
"I walked over and saw a girl stumbling around."
"Okay, get to the point." I said moving my hand in circular motion.
"Alright alright! The girl was Daniella and she was fainting but I didn't know why. All I knew is that I needed to catch her and help her, so....Here I am." he smiled his cheekiest and most annoying smile and I groaned.
"Wait, she passed out?" I asked realizing why.
"Yep, out cold." he said popping the 'p'.
I put my hands to my head and paced in a small circle.
"Um you okay there?" he questioned.
I threw my hands down to my hips and said,"No Connor, for your information I'm not okay. I'm not fine, I'm not okay, and I'm not good. Want to know why? I let Daniella run back to Pink alone,"
"I--" he started.
"Let me finish...I let her go back to get her phone, when if I hadn't spent all my money already she wouldn't of put her phone down. Oh and here's the best part, I knew she passes out and I knew she was hungry." I panicked.
"I'm not really seeing the big deal." he replied making air quotes with his fingers when he said big.
"How dumb are you." I groaned with a straight face.
"This is what I get for trying to help you. Should've known." he scoffs.
"Excuse me, what is that supposed to mean?!" I shout feeling my face burn.
"Yeah and I'm the dumb one. Forget this I'm leaving." he snapped.
I watched him walk back to a table. And there was Daniella! I rushed over to the table just as he left. I watched as he stormed out of the door and didn't look back. What is with him, I mean if he really wanted to be friends with Daniella why is he so stupid and gets in fights with me, her best friend. I mean that's a one way ticket straight to my un-friend list. I just hope Daniella thinks so too.
