Disclaimer: When I take over the world, I shall own McFly. But the whole taking-over-the-world plan got delayed, so I don't think i'll own them untill next Tuesday. Shame that. Still, as that song says, the fic must go on. (
I had no idea how I had gotten home last night, just that when I woke up I had a cracking headache. I pulled the covers over my eyes to stop the sunlight streaming in from outside making my head even worse. Still half asleep, I registered that I wasn't in my own bed. This worried me slightly, as couldn't remember half of what happened last night; as I gradually began to wake up I remembered Sophia's offer for me to stay at her house instead, feeling calmer I wasn't lying in some random strangers bed I began to take in my surroundings. That was strange, Sophia never put posters on her walls, and I couldn't remember the last time she left clothes all over the floor. My eyes fell on a guitar sitting in the corner and I knew immediately whose room I was in.
The sound of male laughter from downstairs made me jump as I hurried out of bed and downstairs. I noticed I was wearing someone's boxers and large t-shirt instead of my dress from last night, this morning just got worse and worse. I walked into the kitchen to see him sitting drinking coffee and watching TV.
"Danny, please tell me what the hell I'm doing in your house."
My head throbbed at the sound of the TV and my voice sounded rough.
"Asprin?" He asked, holding out the box to me and pulling out the chair next to him for me to sit down on.
I took them without thanking him, swallowed the tablets and looked him in the eye. God, I hadn't realised how much I'd missed those eyes.
"So? What am I doing here?"
"You don't remember?"
"No, of course I remember Danny, that's why I'm asking you."
"You got really drunk last night and were supposed to go back to Sophia's place, but Doug brought her back here because she was drunk too and I didn't know what to do with you because I don't know where you live so I brought you back here and let you sleep up in my room and I was kind of hoping you would let me talk to you before you go running out?"
He said it all in one breath, very quickly. It was obvious he had already rehearsed this speech. I sat and looked at him, unsure of what to do next. Here I was, sitting in the kitchen of the one person I really didn't want to talk to, with a cracking hangover and no car to get home. Would it really be so bad to just listen to what he has to say? What harm could it do? No, Jenna. Don't give in now, he doesn't deserve a second chance, just ask him for a lift home and you'll never have to see him again. Well, except for the slight dilemma both of your bestfriends are dating… but you can just say you feel ill or something everytime Sophia invites Dougie round. Yeah, because that really won't be blatantly obvious. I sighed. Either way I looked at this I couldn't avoid seeing him again. Danny seemed to be thinking along the same lines.
"Jen, you can't avoid me forever. You say you can't forgive me for not getting in touch, yet you won't listen to me when I try to explain! Honestly, all I ask for is ten minutes, when we can sit and you'll hear me out, but no, because Jenna has been hurt and doesn't want to get off of her high horse – have you ever stopped to think how I feel? Don't you think you were at a fault too, that you could have tried to get in touch with me?"
I stared at him in disbelief from his sudden outburst. Damnit, he was right. We both knew I was being selfish.
"Fine. Okay. Just- just let me get my head together first. Tomorrow maybe? Say ten?"
He seemed shocked that I had actually listened to him and was agreeing with something he had suggested.
"Yeah, great. Your stuff from last night is still in my room, go get it, I'll call a taxi for you. Unless you want to stay any longer?"
"No, I think I'd better go." He looked disheartened for the first time since I had agreed to meet up. "Sorry, I would, but the only thing I want to see is my bed and a headache cure." He shrugged and grinned at me, although it wasn't entirely convincing. I rushed upstairs, gathering my things as quickly as I could and changing back into my dress. It felt stupid putting on a party dress just to head home and I found myself thankful my flatmate was spending the next week at her family's house so she wouldn't see me arrive home. I heard Danny's voice shouting from the hall telling me the taxi had arrived and hurried back downstairs.
It was a brief goodbye, mainly me shyly thanking Danny for the clothes and asprin, but also because Danny seemed off with me again.
I sat in the taxi, wondering what on earth was wrong with him now, I mean, I had agreed to talk to him, hadn't I? My phone rang, bringing a panicked phone call off Sophia, apologising a few times for last night and asking me why the hell I had done what I had done last night.
"Sophia, what? I hardly remember doing anything last night!"
"You kissed Harry and Danny saw."
Great, just as we were starting to patch things up. I must remember to never drink again.
Not my favourite chapter, tbh. Usually I just sit down and write a whole chapter, but this got distracted by me wanting to watch School of Rock and the Olympics.
