Sorry for not disclaiming in the first one, I'm kind of new. Lol. Any ways this is chapter two. Please feel free to review so I can know if I should continue the story. Thanks so much for reading!!
I do not own any of the characters in this story, maybe one or two in the future, but for now I don't own any one.
Rafe POV.
Danny stared at me in shock, the same way he did the day he got shot. It was like five bullets pierced through his skin again.
"Danny, are you alright?" I asked
He slowly put his hands over his face as if he was going to start crying.
"Danny, say something."
"What am I supposed to say Rafe?" I could tell this was not exactly good news.
"I'm going to bed" he said pulling the blankets over him.
"Danny, what is wrong with you? I just told you your having a baby and this is how you react." I didn't get it, if he loved Evelyn so much he should be happy they are both bringing life into the world. I'll kill to be the one sharing a baby with Evelyn.
"I am acting this way because I now know why she wanted to stay with me, why she claims she loves me." I could tell he was hurt; I never thought about it that way.
"I knew it, Rafe, she doesn't love me." Tears came down his eyes slowly. I know Danny had told me he never felt this way about a girl before, but I didn't realize it until now. All our years together Danny has never acted this way over any of his girlfriends. It just so happens that the one girl he's deeply in love with is the girl I can't live without.
"You have to be with her Danny, she's having your kid." I said even though it ripped my heart to say it. He stared into the darkness of the tent for a minute.
"I am going to be a terrible father." He said with an awkward smile.
Danny and I have always had our differences and there were certain things I could see Danny mess up on, but being a father was definitely not one of them.
"No you're not. You'll be great." I promised.
Danny lay on his back and put the Blanket over his head and said good night, I laid on my side facing the opposite way and I began to stare at the darkness. I loved her so much it hurt to think about her. I know Danny is trying to be a good friend by backing down, but Evelyn is his life now, they are going to raise a child together whether he married her or not. I didn't realize when tears came out of my eyes; I had started crying at the thought of Evelyn and Danny together forever. "Why not just take Danny's offer and feel better." I thought, But that would be horrible of me, I can see how bad Danny's hurting from this, I'll be the worst brother if I did that. What am I going to do? I can't live like this.
"Rafe" I heard Danny call.
I cleared my thought so he wouldn't know I was crying.
"Yeah."
"I think Everlyn should choose who she wants to be with."
I turned to face him.
"She has a choice, I realized she's not some kind of puppy that we choose who she lives with, you know."
I nod in agreement.
"I can always be in the baby's life without coming between the two of you. I'm sure I could get over it."
He said goodnight again before Turning the other way and I just put my head back on my pillow.
Why was he so sure she'll pick me? What if I'm the one who has to get over it and.....Move on?
