He'd always been the one who loved life, who lived to the fullest, smiled through every situation, and made his friends smile when they were down. But one day the truth was told and everything changed.
It was a Thursday when Danny told his friends that he was gay. Tom, Harry and Dougie had been accepting, and for that he was thankful. Then he got Tom on his own and confessed to having feelings for him. Tom was polite about the news and accepted the fact that one of his best friends had fallen in love with him. Both he and Danny knew they couldn't be together. Tom had Giovanna, and he loved her. But amongst the talk Tom let Danny know that they were still friends, by telling him that he loved him. That was when it started. Gio had arrived and Harry and Dougie told her about Danny. She was polite as well, happy that he was able to tell people about his sexuality and not have a problem with it. Then she stopped in the wrong place at the wrong time and heard Tom say,
"I love you too Danny, you know that," Everything went downhill from there. A fight was on the verge of happening anyway and this flicked the switch and Tom and Gio began fighting.
So Danny blamed himself. He convinced himself that he caused the fight, blamed himself for the tears that Tom and Gio shed, told himself that he caused them the pain they were feeling. He was convinced he had caused the trouble because he was in love with Tom. He knew he couldn't stop loving Tom unless...And he made a plan.
