Author's note – "Last Chance To Make A Move" is postponed for now as I won't have the time to post/write chapters for 4 different Jessie/Danny stories, but I think you're all going to like the newest one I've got on the go. Here goes, and let me know your thoughts…

22-year-old Jessica Cornish sat in the bedroom of the home she shared with her parents in Essex, watching as The Script performed at Radio 1's Big Weekend. The frontman, Danny O'Donoghue was her best friend, or used to be. They'd not had contact in almost two-and-a-half years. When Danny had moved to London to find fame, music being his one and only passion. He'd moved there when they'd been 18 years old, and the first two years there'd been daily contact, Danny giving Jessie updates of how amazing London was, and Jessie keeping him up-to-date on the gossip from their hometown of Essex, Jessie had even gone to London for the weekend, the weekend making it into one of her top five, but as The Script found fame and were signed, the contact started to die, until it came to as it was now, them not having spoken in two-and-a-half-years…

I remember the day I met Danny. He was a cheeky chap, even at 13 years old. It was our first day of secondary school and we'd been sat next to each other in our form class, and an instant connection forming between us. I'd been thankful that most of our classes were together too. I didn't have any siblings, and as time went on Danny had become like an older brother to me, protecting me from my bullies who picked on me for being different, for my weight and for my height. Every day he'd walk me to and from school, making sure I got in my front door and into school safely…

I remember one of our particular conversations at 15-years-old. We were sat under one of the big apple trees away from the crowds of the rest of the pupils at our school and we saw a couple hand-in-hand, walking, talking and kissing…

"Have you ever been kissed, Jess?" he asked me, breaking the silence between us

I shook my head, turning towards him, signalling no… "Have you?"

"No" he informed me

Going back to looking around the field, I felt Danny shift himself closer to me. I smiled like an idiot as he entwined his hand with mine, running his thumb along my knuckles before two fingers from his free hand dipped under my chin and titled my head to face him again. I watched him as intently as he watched me, and my body froze as he placed a soft kiss on my unsuspecting lips…

"Was that okay?" he questioned as he pulled away

I nodded, not being able to form words. Easing himself closer to me again, his lips pressed softly onto mine again. Allowing myself to mould into the kiss, I brought my free hand up, running it through the back of his hair, sighing as he pulled away a couple of minutes later…

So, what do you think? Let me know honestly please…

Next chapter:

"He did what?" Danny asked, demanding I answered him

"He tried to get me to sleep with him" I whispered, not being able to look him in the eye

"I'm gonna kill him" he proclaimed, marching from the corridor we'd been stood in, going off in search of Aiden, the guy I'd had a date with the night before

"Danny, no" I begged, my voice cracking as I allowed the tears that had been filling my eyes to spill freely. Upon hearing a sob escape my lips he froze and turned to me, engulfing me in his arms…
