Sorry it has been so long since my last add. This add is a little short but I am currently writing the next one so it shouldn't be too long until there is a much longer chapter. I hope I still have readers left after such a long wait. If I do thank you so much for reading I really appreciate it! I would love to hear what you think about the story!! Anywho on with show……………..

After our shopping trip we spent the rest of the evening stuffing ourselves with all forms of junk food, and watching cheesy chick flicks while splayed out on the couch. When the credits began rolling on yet another happy ending where the girl got the guy of her dreams, I let out a low sigh and threw a cushion at the TV.

"You know Lols I have never understood why you insist on watching these movies every time you have been screwed over by a guy; it always just makes you feel worse. You have to realise that none of that stuff ever happens in real life" said Danny from the other end of the couch.

"Why not? Why can't stuff like that happen? Is it too much to ask to want someone to love me for me and want to do anything in their power to get me, if my track record is anything to go by apparently it is! God I hate men!!" I growled while shoving my head under a pillow that had previously been propping my head up quite nicely on the side of the couch.

"Come on we're not all bad, you like me? Don't you?" said Danny cheekily. "Yeah Dan I do like you, you're my best friend but you have done some seriously shady things to girls you have been going out with so don't be under the impression that I think you are in anyway an angel"

There was silence after that.

Usually me and Danny brushed over his behaviour with girls, to be honest I let him away with murder at times, when I really shouldn't but it was just easier. I felt Danny move off the couch.

A pang of dread ran through me, please tell me I hadn't alienated Danny now, I needed someone on my side that wasn't going to ditch me for some leggy blonde. I rolled over and removed my head from under the pillow to be greeted by the sight of Dan's knees in front of my face. I looked up; he had a sombre look on his face. "Shove over I want to lie down" he muttered quietly. I rolled over on the couch and placed my back up against the back of the couch. He slowly lay down in my place and somewhat apprehensively went to put his arm around my shoulders. I lay my head on his shoulder and we sat in silence for what felt like an eternity.

"Lolly what do you really think of me?" Danny said quietly after a while. I was a bit taken aback by this and didn't really know how to answer.

"What do you mean?" I asked somewhat nervously, knowing that my answer to his question was going to be greatly analysed. "I mean exactly that Lola, what do you think of me, as a person?" he said quickly. I thought about it for a few moments, knowing that my answer had to be carefully worded but that he wouldn't wait patiently for a reply either. " Danny I think you are a great guy, you are generous, kind, caring and loyal among many other great qualities but you also have slightly arrogant tendencies and you can be somewhat selfish when it comes to your needs over someone that you may not care that much about, even though that person may not be a bad person. Look Danny I love you to pieces and would never not want you around but when it comes to the way you have treated some girls, I haven't been impressed. You have been with girls that you know really like you and would like a long term relationship with you, but even though you're not interested you have strung them along because you like the attention, that's not right Danny and also it goes against how you treat your friends and family or how you would expect other people to treat them. It's not right to be a hypocrite in that way Dan, you're better than that!"

I ended my long winded speech in a loud voice, and then proceeded to lie back down and stare at the ceiling, hoping that I wasn't too harsh but knowing that everything I had said was right and needed to be said. Once again there was a silence that went on for what felt like an age. Danny's breathing was steady but I could feel the tension running through his body as my head lay on his chest. Dan didn't like people analysing him, he wasn't a closed book by any means but the thought of other people analysing his behaviour did perturb him, he never knew quite how to deal with it.

"Lola I never intentionally tried to hurt those girls! please tell me you know that Lolly?" he said desperately "of course I know that Dan but that doesn't mean you didn't hurt them and it could have been avoided, look Dan I'm not against you, I will defend you till the end but I just think that this hypocrisy is below you and that if you thought about stuff a bit more rather than going on your brute instinct, things would have a better outcome." I said while looking into his guilt ridden eyes.

I had called him up on something that I had eternally avoided throughout our friendship and it had hit him hard. He pulled me on top of him and wrapped his arms around me in a strong and desperate hug burying his face in my hair. I didn't really know why but I could feel the tears welling up behind my eyes and there was no way of stopping them. I think Danny felt my body tense and begin to ever so slightly shake as he lifted my head up and looked me in the eye, seeing the tears falling from my eyes. He quickly pulled me back into a hug and soothingly rubbed his hand up and down my back.

"Its ok Lols, I'm here" he said quietly in my ear.
