Disclaimer: I own NOT Danny Jones. I wish someone could tell me otherwise.
A/N: I actually wrote this for my English essay! Yes, I write fanfictions for my final exams. But, hey, sue me.
"Talk to me, darling."
Danny's voice rang in my ears, clear as day and crisp as dried leaves. Then my mind takes a reel into the week before.
"About what?" I asked.
Danny gave me a hard scowl. If it had been any other day, i would have laughed at his face. The way his perfectly-arched eyebrows knitted together, the way his forehead creased, and of course, the way his lips twitched in annoyance. It was all just very…Danny.
"You know what," he said. Curt and short.
I sighed, knowing all too well just what he meant. "Well, what do you want me to say?"
"The truth, darling! The truth!" he exclaimed, exasperated.
I winced at the tone he was using. It was a tone he always uses when he's upset. And I hate seeing him upset. "I don't know what to say," I mumbled, lowering my gaze to avoid his.
Danny huffed. And I could almost picture him running a hand through his pomade-covered hair. Silence filled the gap between us as I tried to focus on anything but the man in front of me.
But it proved to be impossible, and all the more because I felt his hand reaching for mine, grasping it gently. And his soothing voice - much calmer than the one before - came. "Look me in the eye and tell me that you are not in love with me."
At that exact moment, I swear I could feel my heart dropping to my knees, shattering into million pieces. My stomach clenched and I could taste the bile in the back of my throat, threatening to come out along as the tears pricking my eyes. But I didn't show any of it all. I put on a brave façade and stared straight into his clear blue pools of irises. "I am not in love with you."
I lied. And now, I can't help but wonder how much things would have changed if I had actually told him the truth. He probably wouldn't have been standing there on the altar, kissing his newly-wedded bride.
Honesty. I should have.
You know the drill! R&R, lovelies 3
