Danny Messer draged through the crimed lab. How could he have been so stupid?? First losing Ruben now he was pushing Lindsay away all he could do was tell himself that he was doing it to protect her. Everone he cared for ended up hurt or dead. Turning the corner his heart stopped. In the empty corridor stood Lindsay Monroe, back to the wall looking over what appeared to be trace results.
Hearing the footsteps Lindsay looked up to see Danny Messer shuffeling his feet, unsure what to do. Now was her chance, she wanted answers to why he practically slammed his door in her face the night before.
"Danny Messer, can I talk to you for a second?"
Hearing those familiar words Danny looked up from the ground to face Lindsay.
"OK, I gotta know what is goin' on right now because ever scince Ruben's death you've been acting like I don't exsist and I understand that your greiving but I just wanna know where I stand"
Danny could feel something inside him brake, he thought is was his heart but he wasn't going to let it show, he had to do this, to keep her safe.
"Lindsay look you have to stay away from me ok, you'll just get hurt"
"Is that was this is about? You think I'll get hurt?"
"I don't think, I know, ok. Everyone I care about gets hurt in the end"
Lindsay's eyes were stinging badly now but she refused to let the tears fall until after she was done but before she could talk Danny cut in.
"Let's face it Lindsay, Adam have had the crap kicked out of hime, Flack was blown up, Mac and Stella have been held captive in the past and Louie, Aiden and Ruben are all dead and it's all my fault!"
Lindsay couldn't hold her tear's in any longer. Now it was her turn.
"Don't you think that's how I feel? Every person I every loved has died- My parents, My sister, My friends - all of them, gone. This last year has been hellish for me and your the only thing that has kept me going! Damn it Danny, for the last sixteen year's I've been terrified to love anybody incase they got hurt but I'm not afraid anymore because of you! Because I love you!"
She took a step back. She hadn't ment for it to come out like that.
Danny just stood there in numbness, She loved him.
Taking a deep breath she started to talk again.
"Look Danny, I love you, but if your not the arragont,self-centred, pain-in-the-ass I met at the zoo that day then you not the man I'm in love with. It's up to you now"
And with that she walked away leaving Danny to think of all she had said.
