Where am I?
                          
I had a pounding headache. I felt nauseous. I didn't feel like this the last time I went out. 
                          
But I also wasn't heartbroken last time I went out. The lights were dimmed. It took me a couple of seconds to wake up before it dawned on me. 
                          
I'm at the Why Don't We house. 
                          
I sat up quickly. Maybe too quickly. I got super light headed and dizzy. 
                          
I tip toed up the stairs to the main floor. It seemed like everyone was asleep. 
                          
Except Daniel. 
                          
I quickly hid around a corner before Daniel could see me. 
                          
He looked hot. 
                          
But really angry. Why is Daniel angry?
                          
Suddenly I hear Daniel talking really sternly to someone. 
                          
"So here's what's gonna happen. I am going to talk to Joey, tell her that you set this monstrosity of a relationship with Madison up, tell her I never wanted to her hurt her, and get her back. And nothing you say or do is going to stop me. You're my manager, not my-" suddenly I felt super super nauseous. 
                          
I ran to the nearest bathroom and made it just in time. I threw up into their toilet. 
                          
I hated throwing up. I don't think Daniel heard me though. Thank god. 
                          
I flushed the toilet after I was done puking and washed my face. 
                          
Which apparently needed a lot more then just a quick rinse. I had mascara and lipstick all over my face. 
                          
I looked awful. 
                          
I tried my best to wipe it all off. I took the hair tie off my wrist and threw my hair up into a bun. 
                          
"Joey?" I heard someone say. I turned around to see Jonah. "What are you doing here?" He asked. 
                          
"I don't know. The last think I remember is being in a night club with Emily. I have no idea how I ended up here." I said. My voice felt scratchy. 
                          
"Want me to take you home?" He asked. "Yes, please" I smiled. "Okay lets go." He said. 
                          
Jonah grabs his keys and leads me to the garage. 
                          
Right before I turn the corner to the garage, I make brief eye contact with Daniel. My heart ached.

I made small eye contact with Joey before she turned into the garage. 
                          
I knew what I said. I knew I wanted to do it. I'm just scared she won't want me back. That she's happier with that other guy. 
                          
I still loved her. I knew I broke her heart and I had to fix things. 
                          
I walk into the living room and sit down. I put on a movie and just chill. But in reality I was rethinking my entire past and over thinking my future because that's what people with anxiety think about. 
                          
Corbyn and Zach ended up joining me. It was a super chill day. 
                          
I loved days like these. Nothing to do, nowhere to go. 
                          
But it wasn't all that great still. I felt empty and broken and scared. I hated it.

It's been a few days since the hangover. I was hanging out in my apartment. 
                          
Actually feeling pretty good for once in a while. I had some tunes playing in my room, while I was drew some pictures...
                          
I decided I wanted to order a pizza because I was hungry. 
                          
I call a pizza place, order, then go back to my drawing. I brought my speaker out into the open part of my apartment (living room/kitchen) and turned it up a bit more louder while I waited for my pizza. 
                          
I grabbed a glass out of my cupboard and fill it with some water. In which I would drink. 
                          
I rock out to some songs because I was in a fantastic mood for no reason. I guess I just had a good feeling about today. 
                          
I go back into my room and change into shorts and a hoodie. 
                          
While I'm changing I hear I knock on the door. 
                          
That must be my pizza. 
                          
"Come in!" I call just pulling my hoodie on. I hear the door open then close seconds after. 
                          
I grab my wallet and walk out. "Hey so is that-" I stop in the middle of my sentence. 
                          
Coincidentally, All I want by Kodaline comes on. 
                          
Let me tell you, that was not the pizza guy. I froze. 
                          
"Can I talk to you?" Daniel asks nervously. I walk up to him and give him the biggest, tightest hug ever, which he returned. 
                          
"Why don't you hate me?" He asks quietly. "Because I know the truth." I replied. 
                          
"How?" He asked pulling out of the hug and looking at me. "That morning I woke up hungover at your guys' house, I over heard you talking to Tyler. I only heard the first part of what you said before I threw up though." I replied. 
                          
"I see..." Daniel smiles, looking into my eyes. He gave me that look. I kissed him. Kissing him finally felt like a year without rain. 
                          
I felt those butterflies in my stomach that I knew I missed. Only Daniel could give me these type of butterflies though. 
                          
Daniel pulled my in closer by my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck deepening the kiss. 
                          
I couldn't help but smile through the kiss. 
                          
Daniel pulled away a couple centimetres before saying, "I love you Joey." 
                          
"I love you too, sparky." I smiled.
