It was nearly 6:00 in the evening. Nico was getting worried because he had texted and tried calling Dani for almost two hours now and still no answer. Then, he thought, maybe she is just tired and still sleeping or maybe she is just ignoring me because she knows I want to talk about us. He shook that last thought out of his head and decided to just go by there anyways, but he knew she wouldn't have eaten anything so he decided to run by and pick up pizzas and a few movies to surprise her. Dani was in so much pain. She knew she had to get up those stairs and get ahold of Nico. Dani managed to crawl up the stairs only to make her pain so much worse. She couldn't even get up to get on the bed, so she reached up and was barely able to grab her phone off of her night stand. She saw all the missed calls and texts from Nico including the texts about getting pizzas and movies. She dialed his number hoping he would answer, but he didn't. Dani didn't know what to do and she was still so shaken. Nico pulled into Dani's driveway when he noticed the missed call from her. He was so caught up in suprising her, that he was slightly angry with himself for missing her call. He grabbed the pizzas and movies and headed up to the door. He knocked and called her name several times, but no answer. He was getting really worried so he just decided to try the doorknob. He was very surprised that it was unlocked. He walked in and called her name, but no answer. He went to her office first and no Dani. He called her name again and this time he heard her cry his name out in a loud whisper. He went and sat all the stuff in the kitchen and ran upstairs. He went straight to her room and what he saw, he didn't expect. He saw her laying there, on the floor, really still and was crying. He knew something was bad wrong and he immediately had a suspicion of what could have happened, but wasn't going to jump to conclusions. He ran to Dani and kneeled down beside her. She was so upset and shaking so badly and that's when he saw the bruises on her arm and when Dani turned and face him, he saw the huge knot below her right eye that was brusing very badly. Dani couldn't move, but Nico hadn't realized that part until he tried to pull her in his lap and she let out a cry, so he decided to pick her up real easy and put her on the bed. He held her like she was a small child. He held her like she was the most precious thing to him on this earth. Dani was crying so heavily. Nico needed and wanted to know what happened badly and where all she was hurt, but first, he just wanted her to calm down and for her to know that he was here now. "It's okay Dani. I've got you. I'm here. I will never let you go. Dani, I need you to calm down so you can tell me what happened, sweet heart." Dani was calming down a little because she wasn't shaking as bad or crying as much.. She loved Nico holding her like this and being in his arms. She knew would no longer deniy the fact that she was in love with this man.
