"who would've thought we'd be back at this amusement park together?" Jack mumbled as he walked, and Daniel couldn't help but agree after what had happened he really never expected to return to this place- at least not with this group of people. He had already been here with Bella, and was planning on going here some time again- not expecting for it to be so soon, and definitely not expecting it to be with his friends, that he had missed dearly. 
                          
Daniel let a smile shine through as he turned around, walking backward while facing the others.
                          
"So, anyone ready for some fun?" He said as they all said yes.  Bring it on he thought to himself, as he turned around again before he embarrassed himself completely by falling over or something. 
                          
"Let's do the spinning things!" Bella yelled excitedly, and Daniel immediately regretted coming here.
                          
"Dear Lord, please have mercy on me," He mumbled which made the others laugh.
                          
"Oh come on minou," Bella said, as she winked at him. Saying the last word, knowing fairly well that Daniel was fluent in French and knew exactly what the word meant. 
                          
"You did not just call me that-" Daniel mumbled staring at her with wide eyes. "That's not a very appropriate thing to call the future king, now is it my dear?" He said, walking over to her and throwing her over his shoulders, as he laughed.
                          
"Put me down, Daniel!" she yelled through her laughs, which only made Daniel laugh more, not letting her go.
                          
"Say sorry! and promise to never call me that again," Daniel stated, as he moved his hands, careful not to touch anywhere that wouldn't be appropriate. 
                          
"I'm sorry!" she said as she laughed more.
                          
"and what about the promise?" 
                          
"I promise to not call you Minou again, just put me down," she said, and while laughing Daniel bowed down just enough for him to place her feet on the ground again, and letting her go.
                          
"Thank you, mon amour," she added the last words as a joke. 
                          
"Soooo- what does minou mean? you guys are hanging out with Spanish students," Zach said with a laugh, as he looked at the two.
                          
"You don't wanna know," was all Daniel said, as he laughed. Finally relaxing a bit more. Seeming more carefree, it wasn't often that Daniel allowed himself to relax and calm down, it wasn't very often he let his guard down and revealed whatever he was feeling. 
                          
"Sooo- the spinning things?" Bella asked quietly. Daniel groaned, he hated that shit.
                          
"If I throw up- I'm gonna throw up on you," Daniel said, readjusting his trendy aesthetic shades, because Daniel is extra as fuck, and decided to wear the trendy slim ones in black, instead of ones who actually covered up his face. 
                          
"Want me to hold your hair back when it happens, baby?" Corbyn joked as he walked up to Daniel. Daniel laughed, throwing one of his arms around him.
                          
"Yes please, honey," Daniel said with a soft voice, adding to the joke. Happy that Corbyn didn't seem to hate him anymore. 
                          
"sucks to be you, because I won't do it, you're on your own," Corbyn said cheekily, sticking his tongue out at Daniel. Daniel just laughed, sticking his tongue out as well. Wrapping his arm around Corbyn tighter. Letting out a soft laugh, that quickly vanished as they came to the spinning teacups. 
                          
"I want to die," was all Daniel said as he stepped onto the thing, that since brought him through hell.

after a few minutes of torture, the ride was finally over.
                          
"If we weren't in public I'd kiss the fuck out of this ground right now," Daniel mumbled, debating on whether or not to worship the ground right now. Daniel had truthfully never been more grateful for the ground he was walking on.
                          
"You're dumb," Corbyn mumbled, with a soft laugh as he looked at the pale Daniel. 
                          
"Am I really though?" Daniel asked, knowing well that everyone remembered the fact that he had the highest GPA.
                          
"you may be book smart, but you're life dumb," Corbyn stated, challenging Daniel.
                          
"Oh really? guess life is gonna suck when I get the crown then, but I'll make up for it with the fact that everyone will take one look at me, and love me even if I was the biggest jerk walking on earth," Daniel said, stepping a step closer to Corbyn. 
                          
"You sure seem confident in your looks, huh daniboy?" Corbyn asked, loving the power that surrounded Daniel.
                          
"I am hot as fuck, and if being hot isn't enough I'll just convince them with my dic-" Daniel was cut off by Bella.
                          
"You better not finish that sentence Daniel James Seavey, or I swear to god I'll cut that thing you're so proud of, off while you're sleeping," She said, and Daniel immediately shut up. He didn't want to admit it, but he was hella scared of Bella, she might be small, but she was indeed a scary young lady. 
                          
"Guys- I think you just blew the cover," Jack mumbled as people with their phones out surrounded them.
                          
"Prince Daniel?" A paparazzi asked, Daniel not sure how the paparazzi were already there. Were they at every place around here permanently? 
                          
"Bella call Claus from my phone, you know the password. We're gonna need bodyguards," Daniel whispered, grabbing the phone from his pockets and sliding it into Bella's hand who just nodded, and quickly sent a message to Claus, as Daniel faced the paparazzi.

AUTHORS NOTE !
                          
thank you for 20k. 
                          
(a small 'debate' about self-harm, don't read if easily triggered by that topic) 
                          
I have a pretty serious topic, that i'd just like to briefly talk about. the other day i read a book about a pretty depressed dude, and one of the comments on the book was something along the lines of "if he's that depressed, why doesn't he do anything hurtful to cope?" you know- such as self-harm. and that made me want to come with my comment on the whole thing- and if you don't agree with me on this, it's 100% fair. but, i have never, and will never write anything self-harm related, because me writing it down, and publishing it- would be me normalizing it, and showing it as one of the many ways to cope, and i don't want to that. because I don't want the people who reads my stories, to think that, it's a "normal" thing to do- or it's something you have to do if you feel bad, or that it's something you can do to feel better. because it shouldn't be. 
                          
i had a friend, who was going through shit, and she read a lot of books on wattpad, and in a lot of those- people self-harmed when they felt bad, and therefore she started doing it- she "taught" herself to self-harm from wattpad. and i can't know if someone like her, is reading my stories, and ends up thinking. "hey, i'm gonna try that and see if it helps." because, yes it might make you feel better temporarily, but not in the long run. <3
                          
if you feel sad, or if you ever get those ideas into your head, just know that there is help, talk to someone, if needed, i know it's scary, and maybe your parents- or people close to you, don't understand. but just know that someone will understand, and there are better days on the way, even if it doesn't feel like it. There is also a lot of different numbers you can call, and a lot of websites online where you can talk to people who dedicate their day to helping others. 
                          
I love you so much, you deserve the whole world❤️
                          
I'm not very good at this kind of stuff, but if you ever need to talk my DMs are open. ❤️
                          
but yes, this is why I don't think that self harm, or other ways of harming yourself should be portrayed as a way to feel better in stories. 
                          
have a wonderful day/night everyone, stay strong and keep fighting ❤️
                          
Btw! This is not shade or made to call anyone out, or "attack" others, I'm simply just asking you to think twice, and put a VERY clear warning when writing stuff like that, and me asking you to mention that self harming shouldn't be normalized- and that there are so many other and better ways to feel better, or get help. ❤️
