Drown Me in the Flames

Jaime drove me back and I sneaked in through the window. He climbed into my room and helped me grab relevant items. We were about to leave when I grabbed all my posters off the wall. I wasn't going to just leave them there! I took out a piece of paper and wrote a note for my mom. It said

Dear 'mom',
You were never a mother to me, you abused me, you never took care of me, you couldn't care less. I had to fend for myself. I'm done with you and whatever this is. I'm leaving. You don't deserve a daughter or a child even for that fact if you're just going to treat it like trash. If I see you abusing Micah, I will take him too.
-Danielle

It may seem a bit harsh, but she's been harsh on me for how many years now? 21?
I crawled out the window and climbed into Jaime's car. We drove until he asked
"Do you have a playlist you want to put on?"
"Uh, sure," I said my voice shaking. I pulled out my phone and put my playlist on. The first song that played was Yeah Boy and Doll Face. "Oh, uh I should probably change it," I said reaching for my phone.
"No, leave it. It's okay,"
"O-okay," I relaxed in my seat.
"The moment that's where I, kill the conversation wrap this up," Jaime sang.
"With a knife that loves to feel. How do you know how deep to go before it's real?" I sang quietly. I looked at my wrists singing at that, thinking of how many times I wanted to cut too deep. I looked at Jaime. He was looking at my wrists and then at me. I looked out the window and turned my wrists down. "I deserve it Jaime," I said my voice shaking.
"No, no you don't!"
"I'm nothing but a waste of space," I said. I could hear my voice cracking.
"No, no you're not. Not at all," Jaime said. I turned to Jaime and smiled. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. "Awwhh, don't cry," Jaime said sympathetically. But I couldn't help it. We pulled into the house and Jaime helped me with my bags. Right away, Vic opened the door and took the bag out of my right hand.
"Thanks," I said. Vic smiled and walked upstairs. He set the bags down and said
"If you need anything, let me know," and walked away. Jaime walked in and set the bags on my bed. I smiled.
"Have you eaten anything yet?"
"No, but I'm not hungry," I lied.
"Come on, I'll take you to that Italian place,"
"Okay," I sighed. We climbed into his car again and I put on my playlist again. The next song was Caraphernelia. "I swear all my Pierce the Veil songs are towards the beginning for some reason even though it's on shuffle,"
Jaime laughed. "It's okay," His dimples were showing. Okay, so he is really cute. But I know better than to fall in love. I don't want to be hurt again. He opened the door for me and I stepped out.
"Thank you,"
He took my hand and we waited for someone to seat us.
"This place is fancy," I said looking around. "And I didn't dress up," I laughed.
"No worries, I didn't either so you're not alone," he said laughing. You're not alone. I've heard that so many times, and every time someone said that, they were lying. I sighed.
"How many?" a waitress finally asked.
"Just two," Jaime said.
"Right this way," she said leading us to a table next to the window.
~after dinner~
Jaime held my hand on the way back to the car. I put his playlist on and the first song that played was Would You Still Be There.
I gasped. "I love this song!"
~Jaime's point of view~
Was I falling for Danielle? She's pretty and sweet and everything but do I want to risk getting hurt? I don't know what I feel. Holding her hand, the hugs, the friendly stuff. But is this going to turn romantic? I don't know.
We pulled into the driveway and I got out and opened the door for her.
"Wait, we have a whole afternoon left, why not do something fun?" she asked. She got back in the car and closed the door. I got in and said
"Where do you want to go?"
"The beach seems nice, but I like anything really,"
"Okay, to the beach!" I said. I drove to the beach with A Love Like War playing. We got there and I held her hand.
"Why are you holding my hand?" she asked. I quickly let go. "No, no haha it's okay I'm just wondering why,"
"Seemed like the thing to do," I said shrugging.
"Oh okay," she said as she sat down on the sand.
~Danielle's point of view~
Okay, it's official, I have a crush on Jaime. Wait no, let me rephrase that. I'm in love with Jaime. Now I believe in love at first sight. I sat down on the sand.
"What do you like about the beach?" Jaime asked.
"Well, I love the sunset color above the water, it's possibly one of the best color combinations ever. I also love the relaxing waves. It seems like they are calm and everything but the deeper you go, the more deadly it gets."
Jaime stared at me. "Am I scaring you? Oh my god, I'm so sorry," I apologized frantically.
"No, not at all! I think it's cool that you're so into the ocean. It's so cool," Jaime said. Oh my god his eyes, and his hair, and his smile, and oh my god. I was falling deeper in love with him. He seemed really goofy in the interviews and videos and stuff, but he knows how to charm.
I soon found myself trying to breathe, it was a little unreal. I couldn't breathe easily. I had to look at the water to breathe at ease. We drove to this amazing Greek restaurant and literally laughed they entire time. He drove home and helped me unpack. After I finished, he went to bed and so did I.
~Jaime's point of view~
I am definitely falling for Danielle.
