25.
Me and Danny were lying cuddled up in the couch before the tv. He still had a fever but it wasn't that high anymore and he wasn't that tired anymore either. I was lying in his arms and he softly went up and down my arm with his fingertips when he suddenly stopped.
'What's this?' he asked when he felt an unevenness under my arm.
'It's just a scar' I said and looked at it.
'How did you get it?' he asked
'Some kids thought it was funny to put out a cigarette on my arm' I said raising my shoulders.
'When was this?'
'2 years ago maybe'
'Scumbag' he mumbled 'Would have kicked their asses'
'My hero' I said laughing
'I like superman' he said smiling
'I like batman'
'Oh Catwoman!' He said excited and we both laughed. Suddenly the couch vibrated and Danny sighed while taking his phone out of his pocket. I had finally given back his phone to him.
'Why can't people leave me alone for 2 minutes?'
'Who is it from?' I asked, curious as I am.
'Harry' He said and read the text while a concerned look appeared on his face.
'What is it?' I asked
'He needs some cheering up, is it ok for him and Tom to come over?'
'Yeah, of course!' I said but inside I was hoping it wouldn't be too much for him. Granted, he is feeling a little better but taking on too much might punish him tomorrow. He's still having a fever and looking pretty pale but if he feels up for it I'm not going to stand in his way to meet his best friends.
Danny texted back and threw his phone on the coffee table and took me in his arms again. Half an hour later Tom and Harry showed up at our doorstep. Harry was pretty quiet when he came in but Danny made sure he was back in a good mood. Tom was a little insecure in the beginning but when he noticed Danny couldn't stay mad he was back to his old self. It was really cozy and fun except that Tom didn't say anything to me unless really needed but hey, better than fighting right?
'Oh Harry, just remembered, I've got something for you' Danny said suddenly. 'Will you come with me?'
'Sure' Harry said, stood up and followed Danny to his room leaving Tom and me in the living room.
'So how's school?' I asked, trying to make a conversation.
'it's ok, not the same without out little joker' he said referring to Danny.
'Yeah' I said believing that school was way more boring than usual without his jokes.
Meanwhile Danny and Harry came back and Harry looked like a kid who just saw Santa Claus.
'Look what he got me!' he said excited to us and let us show 2 drumsticks with special printing. 'I searched everywhere for them! It's the best present ever!'
Danny sat down back into the couch, next to me and looked at Harry with a huge grin and sparkling eyes. He was really glad that Harry was so stoked with his present.
'You play the drum?' I asked
'Yeah, only for 2 years though' Harry answered
'And he's already a professional' Danny said smiling.
'Stop! You're making me blush' Harry said and we all laughed. 'No seriously, thank you so so so much!'
'My pleasure' Danny answered proud.
'Does anyone want some more drinks?' I asked.
'Yeah, a coke please' Harry said. Tom shook his head and Danny asked for a water. I went to the kitchen to get the drinks when something just shot into my mind.
It's Sunday.. it's almost a week since I know that Danny's sick. A week less from the little time he has left. Time goes way too fast. I don't want just weeks with him, I want a lifetime with him!
