Sorry, this took so long. I just couldn't find the time to write and re read.

This story is coming close to a close so…enjoy.

School probably would of become unbearable if it wasn't for Martin's presence, and finals. Most of the students were focused on getting a good enough grade to not have to repeat a year, than what had happened the other day. It did leave Danny worried about would happen next year when there was little to no work load, and no Martin to intimidate anyone who looked like they were thinking of messing with him.

It wasn't that he couldn't take care of himself. He'd been in his fair share of fights and knew how to handle that kind of a situation. The problem was that the school was developing a like mob mentality. Danny knew he could take on three or four guys in a given situation, but groups of ten to fifteen were starting to form against him. It didn't help that Tobias was instigating by not letting anyone forget about the whole ordeal.

The only benefit was that Tobias did sound funny with a casted nose. Danny was actually curious as to why he chose to stay in school with the injury. Tobias could care less about school or going to the next grade. One would think that he would use the excuse to stay home.

Ruben was seething. Anyone could tell from the look on his face. The anger radiating off of him was even scaring Gloria. He would sit in class just glaring at Danny's back. Whenever they passed each other in the hallway he always had something negative to say. Ruben didn't push his luck though. It was like he knew better than to get too close.

Danny did his best to keep a distance from the people he used to hang out with. Not that it was easy. They were in almost all of his classes, so the best he could do was sit on the opposite of the room.

On a lighter note, he no longer had to be as distance as he used to be with Martin. Almost the whole school knew what was going on, and it didn't make much sense to try and hide it. What he paid more attention to, rather than his other classmates snide comments and side glares, was Martin's antsy-ness. He was a lot more on edge than he normally was, but whenever Danny asked Martin said it was nothing.

By the time the last bell rang Martin was ready to jet out of the school.

"I have to get a book out of my locker first." Danny said when he realized that Martin was going straight for the exit.

Martin glanced at his watch, "Okay," it looked like he wanted to say more but he held his tongue.

Danny could tell that the pace of his movements was aggravating the other teen, for some reason. He knew better than the try and go faster, because doing so would only cause him to forget things.

"Hey Danny!" they both turned to see Tobias making his way towards them.

"Of all the days," Danny swore he heard Martin mumble under his breath.

"You guys seem to be off in a bit of a hurry?" Gloria was right beside him.

Danny had finally finished putting his books in his bag and was ready to go. Martin chose to just ignore them and keep walking. As he instructed this he glanced at his watch again. His brow furrowed when he saw what the time was. He urged Danny to move just a bit faster so they could make it out within the next two minutes; which, by the way, was nearly impossible from where they were in the building.

He was too focused on Martin's sudden determination to even pay attention to Tobias taunts. There was soon enough room between the two pairs for there to be a sizable time gap. By the time they made it outside three or four black SUV's had started to pull up.

"What the…" Danny started.

"Drug bust," Martin said simply.

"Why are they doing it so late in the day? Normally they would do it while everyone was in school instead of letting some people have the chance to get out."

"I really can't say much besides that fact that drugs are involved," Martin said, "Come on there really isn't a point to just standing and watching."

"You knew this was going to happen?" Danny followed after Martin, who had already started to walk.

"Somewhat. My dad told me to be out by a certain time. He wanted to pick me up, but he didn't want to raise any red flags by taking me out early."

"How would that raise any red flags?"

"Again, I can't really tell you much about it. Where do you want to go today?" Martin asked to change the subject.

"I take it you're tired of the same old scenery,"

"No, this is probably our last week together. The summit is coming to a close and they're most likely about to get what they really came here for."

"I forgot you were only here for that," Danny's mood dropped.

"Come on," Martin smiled up at him, "We can at least enjoy the time we still have together."

"You're right," Danny sighed.

By now the looks that the other people in the hotel gave him were so frequent he stopped caring. They spotted Gavin with his parents, meaning he wouldn't be able to bother him today. Finally they made it to the room. Normally Danny would still be expecting someone to be there despite the fact that Martin said no one was home.

So it would make since that the one time he expected no one to be there, Martin's mom was passed out on the couch. It was odd because he never met the women before, but even in the state she was in, you could see the resemblance between her and her son.

Martin didn't seem too fazed when he spotted his mom. If anything he looked annoyed.

"Guess we'll be hanging out in my room today," he sighed.

"You're just going to leave her there."

"Yeah, she's too heavy for me to move." It was the worst lie Danny had ever heard. He let it go through. He knew there were many times when he left Rafi the way he found him, because he didn't feel like dealing with him.

Martin did at least have the thought to put a blanket over the women before he raided the cabinets for something to take to his room.

Not much talking was being done. They were both just happy to be in the others presence.

"What are you your grades looking like," Martin asked out of nowhere.

"A's and B's why?"

"The school I go to back home has a scholarship program. If you submit an application they'll probably take you. It's a boarding school, so room and board would be coved in the scholarship."

"I'm not sure. Rafi might not be too happy about it."

"Still," Martin booted up his computer and pulled up the application pressing print. "I'm not saying you have to but it's something to consider. Colleges look at these kinds of school with a bit more of an open mind." He handed Danny the papers.

"Thanks," he wasn't really what to say to this. He didn't want to separate from Martin so quickly, but he never trusted these kinds of schools. They always had some sort of hidden fee to keep you in debt.

Yet, Martin looked so hopeful.

"We could end up on the same floor, or even roommates," the smaller teen grinned.

Before he could respond he heard the door opening to the suite again. Martin didn't seem too concerned about it, so it was most likely Mr. Fitzgerald. As soon as that thought crossed his mind the man he had just been thinking of appeared in the doorway.

"When did your mom get in?" He asked.

Martin shrugged, "She was here when I got home."

Victor sighed, "Hi Danny," he greeted the other boy, and then turned back to Martin, "After I put your mom to bed, do you want to go out or order out."

"Order, I don't feel like bumping into someone from your office."

Victor shook his head, "You've have grown a lot since the last time they saw you."

"You're starting to sound just like them."

"Sorry, sorry," his dad apologized sarcastically, "What do you want."

"Anything," Martin's stomach growled despite the fact he'd just eaten.

"Danny what do you want," Victor turned towards there guest.

"Pizza I guess," he really wasn't that hungry but he didn't to say that.

"Is that okay with you Martin," Victor asked tiredly, like this happened too often.

"As long as it's going to get here soon. Do you think if we guarantee a big tip they'll get here faster?"

"Cheese sound good with you guys?" Victor ignored Martin.

"Meet lovers," Martin begged as if expecting the answer was going to be no.

"You'll give yourself a heart attack at sixteen."

"Cheese is fine with me," Danny shrugged.

"At least get one with pepperoni," Martin looked like he was about to have a conniption.

"Fine one half pepperoni and cheese, and the other is just cheese."

"Only half?" Martin looked scared for some reason.

"We agreed on no more take out. The only reason you're even getting away with this is because we're away from home. Once we get back to Washington you won't be seeing junk food for a very long time. You should be great full for what you're getting now."

"If this is going to be the last time then you could at least humor me and get the meat lovers, one last time."

Victor sighed, "Fine."

"Yes," Martin cheered.

"Don't get too happy about it. It's the last time Martin, I mean it."

Once Victor left to place the order Martin turned to smirk at Danny, "He says that every time."

~.~.~.~.~

"A boarding school in Washington?" Rafi sounded surprised. Today he came home sober enough to read over the forms Martin had given him. Danny had decided to base his decision on whether or not he was going to go off of Rafi's reaction.

If he said no, then that was that.

"Martin thinks I would be able to get there on a full scholarship if because of my grades."

"Do you want to go?"

"Yes," the word tumbled from his mouth before he could stop it.

"You can apply to see what kind of coverage you get and see what we can do from there."

"Really?"

"Yeah, you can fill out the forms yourself and just give me the parts you need me to sign."

He may be going to this school after all.

The next chapter won't take as long. I'm going to be on vacation in a few weeks so posting should go a little quicker.
