Hey, look at that! A quick update! Quicker than previous ones, at least.
I realize that this chapter is kinda short. But I didn't know what else to write in it, but I needed to have this chapter. The next update shouldn't be too far into the future. :) I should also mention that Daniel's injuries in this chapter aren't exactly canon.
Please enjoy and review!
Chapter Four
I Wonder Where I Went Wrong
'Finally' Kerri thought as she started entering her neighborhood. As she drove through the familiar streets she though back over the fight that occured earlier that night.
It certianly didn't come out of no where. Kerri remember when the whole thing started.
/Flashback/
"Oh my god, Daniel, what happened to you!" Kerri worriedly rushed him into her house after taking one look at his injuries. His face was bruised and his arm was in a sling. He also walked with a slight limp.
"Fell do..."
"Down the stairs." Kerri finished for him, an irritated smile crossed her face and she nodded. He gave her an aplogetic look. "What exactly do you do in that mountain to get injured all the time. Because, seriously, you're either the klumsiest person I ever met or you're not being completely truthful. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's the latter."
"Kerri, I told you, It's..."
"Classified. I know." she turned and started to walk away from him, but he gently touched her arm and she stopped, but still didn't face him.
"Kerri, I'm sorry. I wish I could tell you more, but I can't."
"I know that. It just gets so hard sometimes, Danny. I see you come in here all injured and bruised with a lame ass cover story. Sorry." she paused. "It scares me." she faced him and looked into his apologetic eyes. He wrapped his good arm around her and took her into a hug.
"I don't mean to scare you. I never want to hurt you. I'm sorry." he kissed the top of her head and rested his chin there. "I feel like all I ever do anymore is apologize to you." he said thoughtfully. Kerri closed her eyes and leaned in closer to Daniel. "I wish I didn't have too."
"Stop doing things that require an apology." Kerri said after a pause. She felt him nod, and he pused her away to look her in the eye.
"I promise I will do my best to never have to apologize to you again." he said, sincerely. Kerri offered him a small smile. "I love you, Kerri. I need you in my life."
"I need you too, Danny. I love you." Kerri leaned up to kiss him.
/End Flashback/
That was only a month ago. Strange how things can unravel so fast.
She only left Daniel two hours ago and already her heart was aching to be held in his strong arms again, to hear his voice reassure her.
Wow, has it been two hours already. Normally this was only a fifteen minute drive, but now it felt as though she was miles away from Daniel.
This was the longest drive ever.
Again, sorry for the shortness. The next one should be much longer, but I felt that this chapter was necessary :)
