It's me again! So to make up for what I thought were pretty short chapters, I'm going to make this one even longer. But I could really use some reviews please! So if you read this, please, please, PLEASE review. I'll also try to remember to give shout outs at the end of my chapters to all my reviewers that review the previously updated chapters.

Anyways, back to the story you've been waiting for.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Baby Daddy or anything else in this story.

Previously on In Love With Someone In Love:

I guess I had cowardly sunk back after she demanded she be the one that makes dinner instead of me, just like I had cowardly sunk back into the friendzone. The friendzone is dark and scary. I don't like it. I was almost out, almost free. Finally, for once in my life, I saw a little bit of light. That was enough to give me hope. To try again. Try again, someday.

Chapter Three: The Journal

"They accepted my offer? Really?" I asked into my cell phone. I was talking to Mom's now ex-boyfriend, Brad 'The Pad'. He's a realtor and agreed on helping me find a new place so I could move out of the apartment I shared with Ben and Tucker.

"Yep! How soon can you be over here to sign the lease?" He responded. I mentally tried to go through what I had going on this week. Nothing came to mind.

"Well-," I began before I cut myself short. I stared at Riley's apartment door. I had just stepped outside to take Brad's call. Do I really have to move now? Ben and Riley aren't together anymore, and I'd really miss Ben, Tucker and sweet little Emma. But wouldn't it be nice to have my own place? Whenever Riley came over, it would just be the two of us without my roommates busting in.

"I'm actually swamped this week. Think they'll let me schedule sometime next week?" I lied. I really needed time to think about this. This was a big decision. I'm considering moving into my own place, not what color of boxers to wear. I heard Brad chatting with people on the other end. After a few minutes, he answered.

"They said that'll work. They'll give you all the time you need." I pulled my phone away from my ear and stared at it in shock. How did he know I was hesitant?

"How did you-?" I began before he cut me off. Everyone seems to be doing that today!

"I'm a realtor, Mr. Wheeler. This isn't my first rodeo. I can tell when someone's hesitant on buying a place of their own." He said, as if he could read my mind. I nodded, even though he couldn't see me.

"Oh, okay. Great! Thanks, Brad." I replied before hanging up. A week. I have a week to decide whether to live with the people I love, or have the ability to have some alone time with the person I love. As if life wasn't complicated enough.

I shut the door to my bedroom and sprawled out on my bed, digging out my old journal from my side table drawer. I flipped through it with my thumb until I came across every page I had written about Riley, or as my code name for her back then was, Girl X.

Dear Journal,

I realized something today. I'll always remember my Spring Break during freshman year of high school. It's the day I realized that I love Girl X. I've had a crush on her since the day she climbed into my tree house, but it wasn't until what happened earlier that I realized I was in love.

Today, we went down by the resevoir. It was Ben, Girl X, a few friends and I. We had spent almost all day down there. The sun was starting to set and it looked beautiful on the water. That's when I looked over and saw her. Girl X. The most beautiful and amazing girl I've ever known in my life. She even beats Mom! She was wearing a blue dress and the sun was setting around her, making it look like as if she had a halo.

Like an angel. My Angel. I'll never forget that moment for the rest of my life. I swear that I, Daniel Wheeler Jr., will one day capture Girl X's heart. One day...

Sincerely, Danny

I smiled as I finished the entry. It sounds kind of girly, but it really was a magical 'Disney' moment for me. Something I'll never forget. Something that I never want to forget, even if we don't end up together. I had even spilled this secret to her once, luckily she thought I was making up a story for Ben to use while they were pretending to be married way back when so Ben could get a promotion. Long story.

Dear Journal,

I saw her again today. Girl X. It's kind of pathetic how often I check her out during field hockey practice. Sometimes, I'll sit on the bleachers and cheer her on or I'll stand around a crowd of girls who and steal glances at her while pretending to be listening to them. Sometimes, I even hide somewhere just to stare at her in awe without seeming creepy.

She's so good. At first glance, you wouldn't guess that she's as athletic as she is. Sometimes people call her a rude nickname. It doesn't seem to bother her, but it bother's me. Nobody should be talking about Girl X like that. She's special. I've known her for forever.

No girl will ever top her. She's so amazing, that sometimes it leaves me speechless just thinking about her. I think Mom's catching onto my love for her, but I really hope she doesn't say anything to Ben, or especially Girl X. I can never get her out of my head. Why does she have to love my tool of a brother? He's so rude to her! I can't see how she's so head-over-heels for a guy that doesn't even deserve her.

But if one day, by some unlucky chance, they do get together, Ben better treat her right. He may be my brother, but I will hunt him down and beat the living crap out of him if I have to. Any guy she's ever with needs to treat her right, or they've got another thing coming. Watch your backs!

Sincerely, Danny

That one kind of hurt to read. My heart stung at my words. But if one day, by some unlucky chance, they do get together, Ben better treat her right. When I had written it, I really didn't think it would happen. Maybe I jinxed it. Stupid younger, high school me.

Dear Journal,

Well, today was supposed to be amazing and magical, but it turned out to be disastrous It was Girl X's birthday and I had just planned the best surprise party for her. I decorated our basement, invited her friends and even made her a huge cake! My only mistake was inviting Ben. I knew I shouldn't have invited him! I knew I he would do something stupid to mess up her big day, but my soft side had convinced me to let him be there to share her Sweet 16 with her.

The first thing that went wrong happened right after we came downstairs. I had told Mom to video tape the whole thing so Girl X could watch it later on in her life to remember her totally awesome Sweet 16. Well, I forgot about that. So when I guided her downstairs and untied her blindfold, she was so excited that she hugged me! I, of course, was so excited that she was hugging me so tight, that I forgot Mom was filming us.

So I maybe, kind of smelled her hair...AND MOM CAUGHT IT ON CAMERA! After I saw what the camera had witnessed, I pulled away and smiled at her so she could go talk to the rest of the party guests. The second thing that went wrong was when Mom yelled at Ben to go wish Girl X a happy birthday.

After putting up a fight, setting down his video game and stomping over to Girl X, he gave her a big birthday hug. When she turned around, I noticed her had put a big sign on her back that read 'RIGANTOR'. Oops! I forgot part of her name was in it...pretend that's not there. She was a little heavy and people sometimes called her that, along with 'Fat Pants'. I, of course, never participated.

But, yet again, Mom caught it on video. So whenever Girl X were to watch it later on, she would see that he had taped a sign to her back. I, being the gentleman I am, ripped the sign off with out her noticing and shoved Ben back to the couch he had been sitting on recently. She looked so happy. And I could tell that I really had done a good job.

The third thing that went wrong was when she spotted the cake. Now, it wouldn't normally been a bad thing...if Ben hadn't put one of his stupid pranks inside of it. Right as we started to sing 'Happy Birthday', the cake exploded! There was frosting and pieces of cake all over Girl X and I. People began laughing hysterically, along with Ben.

I screamed at him and chased him up the stairs, ready to give him the beating of a lifetime. Too bad by the time I had got to him, Mom was there to stop me from doing too much damage. When I went back to the party, most of the guests were gone. Including Girl X. After I cleaned up the cake mess, I watched the video and painfully witnessed the part when she had run up the stairs, crying because of Ben's idiotic prank.

I can't believe he would really do this! He ruined her Sweet 16! I really hope she doesn't shut down all her birthdays anymore because of this. She doesn't deserve it. Instead of giving her the tape as a birthday present, I kept it. There was no way she was ever going to see this. Hair sniffing and all.

I also kept it to show Ben when day. The day where he would actually care that he ruined her birthday, if that day ever came. I guess the only plus side is that he got grounded. Girl X doesn't know it was him, at least I don't think she does. She could have just figured, but none of us told her. I hope one day I can make it up to her. Be her birthday knight in shining armor. For her, I would.

Sincerely, Danny

Another entry that stung my heart. Turns out, Ben really had ruined all her birthdays for the years to come. All up until the last birthday she had. He had finally kissed her after I told him she was in love with me. I really don't think I should of, but my now ex-girlfriend, Amy, had convinced me to. Claiming that I wasn't telling him because I was in love with Riley. Which is true.

I thumbed past all my high school memories until I came across entries that I had actually written earlier this year. I had finally stopped calling her Girl X. Which I didn't even think about anymore, I just started writing her name. And it felt pretty good.

Dear Journal,

I guess this thing isn't just for high school days, huh? Anyways, earlier I was asked to give a speech about hockey in front of my team, which I was really nervous about. I've never been a good public speakers. Mom and Ben like to say that I always make this face in front of the camera that reminds them of a deer in the headlights. Which is actually pretty accurate...

Luckily, Riley offered to help me out. She was good at the whole public speaking thing. We then went down the bar and started practicing. When we were doing some breathing exercises, she rested her hand on my diaphragm much to my liking. After she asked me if I grated cheese on my six pack, I couldn't help but smirk.

She then put my hands on her waist so I could feel how she was breathing. Again, much to my liking. She closed her eyes and started breathing. I couldn't help but stare at her. I had lost control of myself and the next thing I knew, I was leaning down for a kiss. Either unfortunately or luckily, she opened her eyes and pulled back, saying I was getting all slack jawed and that I needed to stay awake.

That's not even the best part.

She and Ben came into the team room where my speech would be given and Ben was going off on how Tucker was so interested in some new girl that he and Ben had just met. When I asked Ben if he invited Tucker to my speech like I asked him to, he admitted to not inviting him. Can you believe him?! The nerve of that guy!

Out of rage, I yelled at Ben for being so selfish and that he and Tucker were a team. And how you don't abandon your team. I then somehow worded it into a hockey analogy and BAM! My speech was over. Everyone applauded and Riley was telling me how good of a job I had done.

I'm not sure if it was the rush of giving my speech or how beautiful she looked in her blue dress, but I lost control of myself, grabbed her face and kissed her! When I pulled apart and realized what I had done, someone luckily saved my butt and called me over, which I happily did.

My first kiss with Riley. I had officially kissed Riley. Don't know why I did and I really don't know how, but somehow I did. And I loved it. Every second of it. It felt like fireworks had exploded all around us. I always knew Riley was the one. And that kissed cemented it. At least for me, anyways.

Sincerely, Danny

We never talked about the kiss, and I think she's forgotten about it. But I never will. I know that for a fact. I never will.

Dear Journal,

Well, today was sure an adventure. It's a long story, so let me just tell you the quick version. Basically, Mom and Ben had been arguing about what endorsements I should advertise, being a New York Rangers hockey player and all. Long story short, I ended up being taken to the hospital with a concussion.

Which hospital you might ask? The very hospital that Tucker and Riley had been volunteering lately. Yes, that very hospital. I, being unconscious don't remember the whole story. But I do remember what woke me up.

Apparently, Tucker, Riley and I were stuck in the elevator Tucker couldn't hear my heartbeat, even though it was obviously there. So, Riley being the amazing candy-striper and friend that she is, began CPR. I just remember everything being black until fireworks exploded behind my closed eyes. There was only one person that I've ever kissed that made me feel like that.

Riley.

I remember murmuring her name, then going along with this weird dream I was having and kind of made out with her. It wasn't until she pulled away and said my name that I realized that what had just happened,...was real life. I really had just made out with Riley a little in the elevator.

If Tucker didn't know about my little crush, I'd be dead meat. Well just my luck, I totally freaked when I realized what had just happened and sat up to quickly, causing me to butt heads with Riley. She then proceeded to fall off me and onto the floor, unconscious.

As I picked up Riley, Tucker explained to me what had happened, and boy, was I embarrassed When the elevator doors finally opened, I stood there, with Riley in my arms. Mom snapped a picture for good publicity, but I didn't care. I was just worried about Riley. We got her on a stretcher, and luckily she was alright.

I don't think she remembers what happened. If she did, wouldn't she want to talk about it? Then again, maybe she just doesn't want to ruin our friendship or doesn't want to remember it? All I know is, I half-knowingly made out with Riley Perrin in an elevator. And it was good. Real good.

-Sincerely, Danny

I smiled at that entry. At first, I was really upset that it wasn't a dream, but now, I'm pretty glad it actually happened. I flipped to another entry that instantly brought a smile to my face.

Dear Journal,

I wouldn't normally ruin the ending by saying what happened before I tell the story, but I'm way to excited in this case. Well, here goes: RILEY PERRIN KISSED ME! KISSED ME.

What had happened was, I had accidently proposed to my Russian, Supermodel girlfriend, who I was meaning to break up with. What? It happens! After talking to Riley about what I should do, she gave me some really good advice about needing to be honest with her and tell her that I didn't think we were right for each other.

But when the time came to break it off, the words got caught in my throat. I really didn't want to hurt her feelings. I mean she's a nice girl and is really great, but I just couldn't marry someone I didn't love.

Riley stood watching, and when she saw that I couldn't get out the words, she did the only thing that can clear a guys mind and get him to open up. She kissed me. SHE TOTALLY KISSED ME. ON THE LIPS. After she did, I spilled my guts about how I wasn't really proposing and that I had just pulled it out from under the couch and how I didn't think we were right for each other.

The point of the story is, I'm single again and Riley kissed me. That second part's my favorite though. And I think this could be the start of something great.

-Sincerely, Danny

This kiss we actually did talk about. We went out on the fire escape and talked. She apologized for dropping that 'kiss bomb' on me, but I told her to never apologize for saving my life...or kissing me. Flirty and gooey, I know. But hey, she's worth it.

I continued to flip through pages until I got to my last entry. I closed the notebook and stared at it in my hands. Here in my hands, I held all my deepest, darkest secrets. Secrets no one will ever know of. Except for Mom and Tucker, of course. But other than them, no one will ever know.

I traced my thumb over the words 'POSSIBLE HOCKEY PLAYS' that I had carelessly scribbled across the front. It was a good disguise. No one wants to read an old journal about old, possible hockey plays.

With that, I hid the book under a few stacks of copies of my old high school newspapers and closed it tight. I then layed back and clasped my hands behind my head, looking up at the ceiling. This whole time I've been in love with Riley. And she still doesn't know. Maybe, if one day we do end up together, I'd give her my journal.

That'd be sweet, right? Or would that be creepy? Eh, I'll cross that bridge when I get there. If I get there. But whatever happens, I'll always know this: My first love was, and always will be, Riley Perrin a.k.a, Girl X.

So I know Danny kept a journal and I just wrote about some stuff that I hoped he would have written about just to give it more Diley fluff. Plus, I figured a diary would be too girly. I really hope you guys enjoyed it! Please review! More reviews will give me more motivation to update more and write longer chapters! Please give me some good feedback, and I'll repay ya with shout outs and good chapters!

Thanks for reading guys!
