Danny looked down at his hands as the song drew to a close just trying to gather his thoughts. The look of shock on her face had most definitely mirrored his own but he didn't know what to do or even say. He knew deep down that the lyrics had touched them both and made him realise the depth of feeling that he had for her. He could see the thoughts rush through her mind as he looked deep into her brown eyes. He felt like he was drowning and that he'd never stop, he knew that he had to tell her how he felt but it was how and where. When Danny looked up again after finally forming a plan in his mind she'd disappeared.
"Stella were did Lindsay go?"
"She mumbled something about needing to lie down, I think she's gone home." she replied giving him a hard look
"What! What did I do?"
"She was stood there waiting for you to say something and you just looked away, that's what." she said forcefully
"You basically looked like you were giving her the brush off." Flack added
"I didn't mean to, I just had some thoughts that I needed to sort through."
"What thoughts?" Stella asked still sounding angry
"Well the fact that I LOVE HER." Danny shouted feeling like her was being interrogated
"Finally." Flack said
"It's about time." Stella said with a smile on her face
"What?"
"Well we've been wondering when you'd figure it out." Stella replied with the smile only growing wider with the look of shock on Danny's face.
"You all knew?"
"Yep, why do think we looked you in the store room together?" Flack asked
"Ok. So how do I sort out this mess then O wise ones?"
Stella and Flack smiled at each other.
"Easy Lindsay told me awhile ago that she always wanted a song requested for her by someone who really likes her." Stella said
"Ok any particular song?"
"Nope."
"Great so I'm gonna have to think of one."
"Hey Danny what about that song you really like that I know you listen to all the time, that reminds you of her." Flack said with a grin on his face
Danny just nodded looking a little embarrassed that his friend knew that. He now had a new plan formed in his mind.
Lindsay sighed as she walked into her apartment. She couldn't believe she had been so stupid as to think that Danny Messer would ever like her. Her minds eye replayed the events of the day. The shock that she had felt but the elation in the pit of her stomach when she realised that they had, had the same dream and now that she'd heard the song in full she loved it. But it was all gone when she lost contact with those blue eyes, she probably shouldn't have taken it so hard but what else could she have done. She knew that her emotions could always be seen in her eyes, an old friend had told her years ago. She'd laid herself out bare for him to see and he'd just looked away like her was embarrassed that he could never feel the same. Sure there had been the lustful looks but now all that meant to her was that he wanted to get into her pants. She sighed again and walked into her kitchen trying to decide whether to get drunk or just have a bottle of water and get some sleep. In the end water and sleep won out. She grabbed a bottle out of her fridge and walked towards her bedroom debating whether to call Stella to talk things out. She looked at the time and decided against it as she was still at work.
She put the radio on hoping to chase away some of the quiet from her room and music has always helped her before when she was feeling like this. She wasn't paying attention until a familiar word was uttered.
"Ok this next song had been requested for Montana and I've been told to say this is how the cowboy feels. God people in New York are crazy."
Lindsay listens intently with a smile on her face. She's never heard the song before but she loves it. Unfortunately a thought crosses her mind so she picks up her phone.
"Bonasera."
"Hi Stel erm did you just do that radio thing again?"
"No it was all him Linds and he meant it."
"Ok. Oh my god what am I gonna do?"
"Ok first calm down then I know you'll come up with a good way to tell him how you feel."
"Ok I think I can do that, oh by the way do you know what the song's called?"
"Yeah I do and get this it was on the vic's I pod as well."
"Really!"
"Yeah. It's Hanging By A Moment by Lifehouse."
"Thanks Stel you're the best."
"No problem see you tomorrow Linds."
Lindsay sat down on her bed trying to think of something and by the time she crawled into bed she had a plan of action.
HANGING BY A MOMENT
desperate for changing
starving for truth
closer to where I started
chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
forgetting all I'm lacking
completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
you take all of me now
I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
and I don't know what I'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you
there's nothing else to lose
there's nothing else to find
there's nothing in the world
that could change my mind
there is nothing else
there is nothing else
there is nothing else
desperate for changing
starving for truth
closer to where I started
chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
and I don't know what I'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you
just hanging by a moment
hanging by a moment
hanging by a moment
hanging by a moment here with you
