The Letter
It read: My Dearest Danielle, These past few days have been the best days of my life. No one has ever made me feel the way you do. I love you! I seem to cause problems you don't need to deal with right now. You deserve nothing but pure happiness. That is why I don't think we should see each other anymore. I hope you know it breaks my heart to do this. You deserve nothing but pure happiness! I don't want to ever forget that I love you. I knew it when we first touched. I will love you forever. I don't think I could love anyone so much as I do you! Always Yours, Ross P.S. Go on without me!
There was a single teardrop that had smudged the ink on the paper. Danny read and reread trying not to believe it was true. She finally broke down into sobs (for the second time that day). Her heart broke again. She fell on the pavement screaming in agony only no one seemed to hear her. Danielle had never felt such pain in her life. She loosely composed herself and drove recklessly all the way to Mikhaila's house. Kay had just pulled in when Danny pulled in behind her. This was not unusual, since she practically lived there. Danielle stumbled out of the car shaking profusely. Kay immediately knew something was wrong. She walked cautiously over to Danny. Danny burst into tears as she handed Kay the letter. "C'mon inside! You are staying here tonight! We will take care of this tomorrow. I'm so sorry, Danny." Kay said sympathetically. It was around 7 in the morning when Mikhaila woke up Danny. "Get in the car!" she demanded. "Why? What are you going to do? " "I'm going to kill the bastard! Look what he did (to you)! He broke your heart; now, he has to pay!" "You can't hurt him! I love him! Please, Kay, don't! Please don't!" she cried out helplessly closing the door to the car. Kay changed the subject quickly as they headed out of town. "I feel the need to tell you something. It involves Steve and I." "Okay, go on!" said Danny sounding minutely interested.
As they made the long drive to Bloomington, Mikhaila told of her earlier meeting with Steve. "Well," she started, drumming on the steering wheel, "We met on a Friday, so I went up to Muncie with him and got a tour of the campus, seeing how I'll be enrolled next fall." "Yeah, sure." interrupted Danny, "You got a campus tour. More like a tour of his bedroom!" Mikhaila stifled a giggle. "Why on earth would I see his bedroom? We both know he has a girlfriend," she said slyly. "Well, I do now. Who is this mystery woman?" Danny asked, suddenly curious. "That's not important now. You'll have figured it out by the time I'm done with my story." Mikhaila hurriedly said as she made a turn. Danny sighed. "Please continue." "Well, after the tour was over, he took me back to his apartment and we ate dinner." "A romantic candlelight meal for two?" asked Danny. "Not exactly, we ate sandwiches. That's all he had at his place." "Romantic as hell, I'm sure." "Something like that. Anyway, we just kind of spent the weekend there. No big deal." "Well, that certainly was anticlimactic," Danny mused. "Fine, you want the truth? Here goes. I got a tour of his apartment. His bed, the kitchen table, the couch, his roommate's bed, the shower, the washer, while running, and the living room floor. You name it and we had sex on it." Mikhaila said all of this very quickly and was blushing furiously at the end of her story and wouldn't meet Danny's eye. "Oh-ho-ho, look who's kinky now," was all that Danny said. "Yeah, that was really embarrassing." Mikhaila said, still very red. "Yeah, I just hope that you're his girlfriend," Danny said, looking out the window. "Yeah, you can say we're a bit of an item." "Oh, that's just great" Danny replied suddenly remembering her present predicament. Mikhaila looked over at Danny sympathetically. "I wish I could make this all better, Danielle, but I can't! That's your part!" Kay smiled slightly remembering a few short days earlier when Ross and Danny stumbled out of the band locker room trying to hide the fact that they just had sex. Danny led Kay to his apartment/dorm. They nervously walked up to his door. Kay stepped out of the way as the other girl lightly rapped on the door. There was a quick rustling inside the door; then Ross appeared looking unshaven and depressed. His face was sunken in and sullen, and dark circles encompassed his eyes. He looked slowly from the ground upwards and was startled to see Danielle, the love of his life, standing unhappily at his door. They stared deep into one another's eyes for a matter of moments before embracing in a hug that shouldn't have been. "But." he stammered looking astounded. "Shhhhh.no talky! Just this." she replied hugging him closer. Mikhaila slipped around the couple, and let herself into Ross's homing facilities. She was surprised to see Willa strut out of the kitchen with a plate of food. "Who is it?" she asked inquisitively not noticing Kay sitting on the couch. "Uhhmmm." sounded Kay very annoyed at her sight. "Oh.you? What the hell are you doing here?" "None of your damn business, but I bet you'll find out soon enough! Just as she said that (as if planned) the door swung slowly all the way open to reveal the couple kissing. Willa's mouth gaped open. "Catch any flies?" Kay asked sarcastically. "Shut up! I swear; you people suck!" At this, Willa stormed out of the apartment/dorm angrily, but keeping hold of the food. Danny and Ross stood in each other's embrace oblivious to Willa's rampage. Danny stepped back shakily; her smile quickly fading. "Why did you do it?" "I don't know. It was really crazy of I know. I guess I thought it would have been better for you without me." "Are you absolutely nuts? I can't live without you! It broke my heart when I found that letter. Promise me you'll never do that to me again?" "I'm sorry," he said moving closer, "I promise you that I'll never do that again!" A weak smile spread over his face as he caressed Danielle's face. Their bodies pressed together in an embrace again. Meanwhile, Kay sat silently watching the couple make up. She could tell that they both loved each other. That suddenly reminded her of her own significant other, Steve. She quickly reached for her cell phone and dialed Steve's number. "Hey, Steve, hunny. Whatcha doin'?" "Nothin' much, sweetheart." "Will you come and see me? I have something to show you! You'll be amazed at the site." "Tell me now. I can't wait (a little fruity don't ya think?)! Where do ya wanna meet anyway?" "Uhh.how 'bout Chicago's in Greenfield?" "Ok! I better get goin' then. Bye, Kay!" "Bye, sweetie!" She giggled girlishly when she hung up the phone. "Danielle? Ross? Where'd ya go?" "Right here, Kay," Danny said jumping from behind the wall. "Ya guys wanna go to Chicago's?" "Sure, why not!" both of them replied at the same time. "Let's go! I have a surprise for you both! Hold on Ross; I have to talk to you for a sec. Danny you go.giving some friendly advice." "What?" he asked looking puzzled. Kay moved in closer. "One warning and one warning only! Don't ever hurt her, or I'll personally hurt you so bad that you won't be able to look at another girl or man for as long as you live! You really love her. Don't you?" "Yeah, I do! I don't know what I'd do without her." "Well, now that's settled.let's go eat!" Kay skipped out of the apartment happily all the way to her car. Ross followed not far behind. By the time they got there, Steve was sitting in a booth waiting for who he thought was just Kay.
