Danny´s POV

The first time I fell in love was when I was fifteen. She lived two block away from my house and we used to ride our bikes together. Her name was Lillian. Lily, as I used to call her. We were friends since we were five. By the time I turned fifteen, I realized she was no longer a little girl; she was a woman. Her bright green eyes captivated me; her long black hair drove me crazy. That's how I knew I was in love with her; when I couldn't picture a day without her in it. So I asked her out and she said yes. I was the happiest teenager alive.

Two weeks later she was gone. Her parents decided it was no longer a good neighborhood for them to live in and for Lily to grow up. My heart was broken; once again I was alone. I fell in love many times after that. At least that's what I thought. The truth is, I dated a lot when I was a teenager, but I did it because I was afraid of being alone. I never gave my heart like I did with Lily and I never thought I could even dare to love the way I loved her.

Until I met her.

Montana. My Montana. She was everything I ever wanted; everything I ever dreamed of. She was perfect. Those days we were together were the happiest days of my life, I felt complete for the first time in years. She gave me a reason to live. She gave me a reason to go to work every morning without complaining. Knowing she was there, waiting for me. Then it happened. I fell and she wasn't there to catch me. I pushed her away like a selfish rat. I told her I needed space and she gave it to me. How could I do this to such a wonderful woman? How could I ask her to leave when all I needed was her?

I had no idea what she meant to me until I watched her leave. People say I look like zombie. Flack is trying to get me out of my apartment but I feel as if I'm not strong enough. I can't seem to concentrate in work, either. The lab seems so small and empty to me without her here.

"Go home." I turn around and see Stella in the doorway. She has a sympathetic look on her face. Just like everybody else who talks to me.

"I'm fine," I repeat. It sounds almost robotic. I got used to using that phrase every now and then.

"Danny, you need to get some sleep."

"I can't sleep." I can't, because every time I close my eyes, I see her. But when I wake up, I realize she's not there.

"You should try, you look tired."

"She hasn't called," I snap all of a sudden. I had the words stuck in my throat and I needed them out or I would explode. It seemed odd to me that she hasn't called me and Stella might know why.

"She's fine, Danny." I frown, confused.

"Have you talked to her?" I ask.

She nods.

"She called you but she didn't call me? Why? I'm her-"

I stop and turn around, shaking my head. I forgot.

"-was her boyfriend." I continue.

"She needs time, Danny."

"I know she does. I know I did this to her, I made her leave."

"No, you didn't." She walks closer to me, her green eyes staring at mine. "She needs time to sort things out."

"What kind of things?"

She looks away, as if she was hiding something from me, maybe the real reason why Lindsay suddenly decided to leave.

"You'll know when you're ready." She turns on her heels and walks towards the door.

"Ready for what, Stella?"

She doesn't listen. She just leaves me with a thousands questions burning in my head.
