Author's Note (Monster): Hello, our lovelies! I believe I will update these stories on Sundays now so for all those waiting, check every Sunday. I might post something on Wednesdays as well (Love Drabbles or Songfics for example). Currently I am working on a new Love Drabble requested by 2 of my loyal reviewers. Anyway, how have you guys been? Replies to reviews below. Enjoy
Danny's POV
Ready to leave, I thought, when my phone buzzed like crazy. Multiple text messages from Funny Man. What the hell was wrong with people sometimes? Texting isn't like Facebook, you know. You're not supposed to type, hit 'send' and type again. You were supposed to type your complete message, check for mistakes and then hit 'send', but who gives a shit?
Funny Man texted me something that I know I shouldn't have read. It felt horrible. It's like seeing a car crash. You can't stop watching as the two cars crash into each other and you're curious to find out if anyone is dead but in the end, you wish you hadn't seen it.
Funny Man: Cancel plan. He knows.
What did he mean he knows? What did he mean cancel plan? Sure, I knew the plan to seduce Charlie was definitely cancelled but did he mean I wasn't invited anymore? I didn't know.
Danny: You mean I'm supposed to stay home now?
Never have I been so confused but the words were slowly sinking in. Did Charlie know about our plan? Couldn't be. If he knew, I'd get a text from him with a shitload because he knew about my feelings. I shuddered. I sure hoped he didn't know about my feelings. He was just a friend I could not lose to rejection.
Funny Man: You can come along if you like but Charlie's coming too. It's not the type of place you want to be talking about it with him.
Danny: What do you mean he knows?
Funny Man: He knows you're in love with him.
Asshole! How could he just tell Charlie that? I thought I could trust him, but no. If he can't have me, I can't have Charlie now, can I? He made me angry and I didn't want to come along anymore. I blew it off.
Danny: I'm not coming. Go fuck yourself, asshole.
How could he have told Charlie I was in love with him? He probably did it to spite me. You know, if I don't love him, I broke his heart. His broken heart caused him to seek vengeance which he found in telling Charlie but how could he act like he was my friend before that? So all of our happiness of before was faked?
Right now I didn't want to see anyone. I'd stay in my own house, eat a bowl of ice cream and watch those cheesy romantic-comedies. Ok, no, I wouldn't go that far, but I wasn't going anywhere tonight and Funny Man could go fuck himself.
Funny Man: Calling me an asshole? You're the prick who falls for someone he barely knows.
Deciding to ignore the text message, I considered my options. I could go, crash and burn. I could not go and watch a ton of horrible horror movies. Don't ask me why, but I prefer the latter option. Ok fine, you don't even need to ask. Anyone would pick horrible horror movies over humiliation. Although I wonder if that is true. Is it an introvert thing to pick movies over talking to your friends? Probably. Everyone always called me an introvert. Am I that shy? No, surely not. I'm just not very fond of oversharing. What were my original thoughts again? Oh right, the plans for tonight. My phone buzzed a couple of times but in my anger I threw it across the living room against the wall. The screen cracked but my screen was still lit. My phone wasn't completely broken. With a deep sigh I picked it up and put it on the table before I ran upstairs to my own room. I took out my old laptop and pushed the power button. Which movies should I watch? Surely I should watch 1408. That shit was creepy as fuck.
Browsing to an illegal site no doubt full of viruses, I quickly found what movie to start and crawled on my bed to watch it. The creepy sphere of the movie dawned as I leaned my head in my hands.
I could not believe Funny Man had told Charlie about my feelings. All of his friendliness was fake. He never meant for me to get together with Charlie. All he wanted, was to crush my heart as I had rejected him. That was my theory. What was this movie about again? I forgot but I could not care less.
My phone wasn't broken. Was it buzzing like crazy downstairs? Or did it stop after two messages? Probably. Dannyboy, you are just not that popular. They could not care less.
Who was I? I was just a stupid new guy. A stupid man with ambitions who fell in love with such a high and mighty rapper. Charlie was infallible. His looks weren't that great and no one would ever say otherwise but his personality compensated for it a lot. He could be hilarious but at the same time very assertive or vicious. Then he could be sweet when necessary. It was like 'being Charlie' was an excuse on its own for his behavior at times. When Charlie was moody, no one would ever take it seriously because everyone knew Charlie was a good guy. He was alright.
Me? Everyone would take it to the heart if I misbehaved because I'm Danny. Being Danny is a reason to hate me. In no way would I ever shun myself as I am going to now but it's time the truth is said. My own stupid feelings get in the way of my success. Why in the world would I go through the trouble of staying their touring and mixing member with such feuds between us? Because I loved Charlie. I loved Charlie with all my heart ever since the first time I laid eyes on him. I just never knew until some time ago.
Now that he knew, I had absolutely no motivation to keep going. They didn't need me. I could just quit. In fact I was quitting. My career with Hollywood Undead was finished and I would tell them tomorrow. Nothing could change my mind on that.
How could I have been so stupid? To think I would make it in a band like Hollywood Undead. I was a nobody. I was the acquaintance of J-Dog when I got introduced. Charlie liked me around him and it felt great to be accepted when I was around him. Deuce, Johnny and Da Kurlzz made me work harder for their approval. I believed Da Kurlzz was never outspoken about me.
He never claimed to hate me or like me. He tolerated me. Deuce made it clear he didn't like me. He had his own ups and downs. Every now and then he liked me. Until I stole Charlie's attention away and became closer to the bandana rapper. Now he hated my guts.
Johnny had always been an odd case when it came to me. He liked to keep his distance but when he was in a good mood, I'd be able to talk to him for hours about small and fun things. Our conversations never really dug deep. We talked for two hours about the stresses of falling off stage mid-sentence. At the end we both had to catch our breath laughing.
Funny Man had liked me from the beginning but I never knew how deep his feelings for me reached. Don't flatter yourself, Danny, he doesn't really love you. Because if he loved me, he wouldn't have told Charlie.
Please review, they're our heavy fuel! Poor Danny, he doesn't know shit about Funny Man. What do you guys think will happen?
Guest: Oh yeah, definitely oh shit
Gabbi: Never had someone declare their love for me in a review but I'll take it as a compliment. Pookie had a stranger way of telling m he loved me.
Aleasha: I used to like Deuce-pairings until I realized he belongs with Gadjet for sure. Danny pairings can't do anything wrong for me but Charlie pairings are the greatest as well. Any pairing with Charlie and Danny is fine to me. I don't like every pairing but when requested, I will write about any pairing just to prove I could do it if I wanted to. Yes, I am that persistent to prove my worth.
Ro: Funny how I updated PTP just last week and then I come across this review. I figured it was time to continue Riddle Me This. Especially because it seems to be a reviewer favorite. Charlie has a very interesting role in this story. I am desperately trying to let him stay in the character of bad ass rapper.
Zev: That's fine. I am exhausted as well. Awoken and I have been redecorating his new appartment, he's moving out soon. My boyfriend's been out of town. It is a bit too hectic for my likings to split my attention between writing, school work, redecorating and calling all at once. Anyway, how are you doing now? I realized my replies are 2 months too late.
HU4LIFEBITCHES: When your crush finds out, you feel your stomach roil. Our Danny is up for a surprise.
Roni 3 Tears: You. I like you. Johnny was not left out in the story. Deuce loves Johnny and Johnny loves Da Kurlzz as Kurlzz was explaining. Yes, that was a reference to 3DG and what a coincidence it happened to play through my speakers before deciding to post this chapter.
