Hey people, how's life treating you? Good? Wow, thanks for leaving me in the dust! Too much homework for any kid to have to endure! Not to mention Child Mind Torture (tests)! I finally got a chance to update! Also, I'm trying to promote my other story, so if you've read the hunger Games, read my story! So I left off with poor Danny figuring out that Joy used him to make Fabian jealous. Let's do this.
Joy's POV
I leaned against Danny's door, listening to the blaring music coming from inside, which he had turned on to block out all of my attempts to explain myself. He wasn't even giving me a chance!
Oh, what a mess, you got the best of
My heart, it broke
and now it's just a joke
'cause you're moving right along.
I'm still here and you're gone.
Tears spilled down my face. I didn't deserve a chance. I was getting everything that I deserved.
Oh, what a scene
You know I didn't mean
For the winds to change,
Won't ever be the same
'cause the kisses that you blew
Could never, ever move.
"Danny," I said weakly, knowing that he wouldn't answer. Please, please, I can't just let this go, Danny, I can't leave it hanging like this.
I think I need some time by myself
without anybody else
I just need to unwind in my time machine
I need to go far away,
A few years back would be okay
I just need to unwind in my time machine
I heard him sing the words "I need some time by myself", obviously emphasizing the fact that he wanted me to leave him alone. I didn't want to leave it like this, I didn't think it could wait until morning.
Hey you, yeah I'm talking to you
You lost the love in bed
And now it's just dead
'cause it didn't mean a thing
Waiting for a ring.
He was now singing continuously along with the words, trying to get his message through. The song seemed to fit with what had happened. I had betrayed him. I didn't deserve to talk to him.
Hey, it's a game and,
Ain't it a shame
That it's just a show,
I thought that this was love
But I can't be fooled again
I'm crying out but I can't give in
If you would just talk to me, you'd see that it wasn't a show! Or was it? I didn't know. How could I be so stupid? I heard Danny's voice crack on "I thought that this was love". He had thought that, and he hadn't been wrong, thought he felt like he was. I thought back to the day when I decided that I loved Daniel and hated Fabian. Of course, the latter could never be true. I mean, how could anyone hate Fabian? He was just too likeable!
I think you need some time by yourself
Without anybody else
You just need to unwind
in your time machine
you need to go FAR AWAY
a few years back would be okay
you just need to unwind
in your time machine
The emphasis Danny put on far away was enough to start new tears flooding down my face. I started to get up to leave, feeling hopeless that he would be any more willing to talk to me tomorrow than right now. I heard the music stop, liked he knew that I had given up. I saw the door open a tiny crack and he poked his head out.
Daniel's eyes looked dull and red-rimmed, and I could tell that I hurt him a lot because he had obviously been crying.
"I'm sorry, I'll just… go…" I said turning to leave.
"No, stay," Danny said quietly.
I stopped walking and turned in his direction.
He made a small gesture with his head, indicating for me to come into his room. I sat stiffly on the edge of the other bed, the one that wasn't his. He sat down across from me.
"I'm sorry," I said again, "it was stupid of me to do this. I understand if you hate me. I don't know why you wouldn't"
"I don't," he said, "That's what makes it so hard. I can't hate you. I love you too much. It hurts to know that I gave you everything and you still love him, but I can't do anything about it. I can't change the way you feel, and I won't try, just know that if you ever want to come back to me, I'm always there for you, even if only as a friend."
"Don't say that," I said, "I don't want you to leave me." I put a hand on my stomach.
"Our baby needs you. I need you. I just hadn't sorted out my feelings yet and I thought that I still loved him, but I don't and Fabian's not mine anyway. If I let you leave me now, the baby won't have a father and I won't have the man I love."
Danny gave me a weak smile. "I just need some time to think things over." He said.
"Well, maybe this could help persuade you," I said and gave him a long kiss before saying goodnight and walking out the door. My last thought before I went to sleep was I don't deserve to be forgiven. I didn't even deserve that kiss. I'm a awful person.
Conflict! Poor Joy. Poor Danny! The song is Time Machine by The Click Five. I do not own either HoA or CF. I do however, own all the OCs. WEEKEND HERE I COME! FRIDAY I LOVE YOU!
