A/N: For some reason, the site isn't letting me reply to reviews anymore... So...
Thank you to all my reviewers!
"Thanks for bringing me, Danny." Rocky said as she got into his car.
Yes, his car. Perks of
dating a 16-year-old.
"No problem. And I want to make it up to for…" He trailed off, and
gently grabbed her arms, holding them up to look at the damage to her wrists.
They are still ugly. Black
and blue handprints
hidden under her sleeves.
"It's all right. You didn't mean to, and it was my fault, anyway. I shouldn't have been looking at other guys."
Oh yeah, totally
your fault. He says he
loves you, after all.
"That's my girl."
Did you really think
you were imagining that
possesive edge in his voice?
She smiles. Everything is back to normal. And he's bringing her to La Bella Luna, her favorite restaurant. It was so sweet of him too bring her here, even though it was super expensive and hard to get reservations.
A little too sweet,
if you ask me.
She didn't deserve this. She had been a bad girlfriend. And he was being so sweet to her.
You? Bad? He's
the 'bad' one.
"So, how's that friend of yours? Coco, or something like that?"
Red flag. He can't
remember the name
of your best friend.
"You mean Cece? She's great! Still single and everything, but she's happy."
How would you know?
You haven't really talked to
her since you met Danny.
"Oh. I don't want you talking to her. She's a bad influence on you. She's too independent, and rebellious. I don't want you to turn out like her."
Now he's trying to
turn you away from
your best friend!
"But she's my best friend. Since she first moved here, when we were like, 8!"
Would you believe
you were letting Danny
between you and her?
"Are you choosing her over me? Is that it? It's me or Cece, Rocky. It's your choice."
An ultimatum? That's a
second red flag. Choose
Cece, Not Danny!
Her mouth suddenly dry, she doesn't answer. How can she choose between them? "Is it really that hard to decide! Goddamnit! I love you! Why can't you just fucking love me back!" He shouts.
See, he's not who
you think! Leave,
while you can!
She's frozen, "Danny, I can't pick between you two. I love you both!"
Wrong answer, honey
now he's angry.
"What are you, some fuckin' lesbo?"
Wow, you've
gotten yourself into
quite the situation.
"No, I love Cece as a friend."
Well, you're handling
it quite well, I guess.
"Well, I don't give a shit. You can only love me. Got it?"
Guess not…
Wow, possessive much?
"But-" He interrupts her by slapping her across the face., "Listen, I'm not in the mood for games. So stop being such a fucking tease."
You heard him. Stop
playing around. Hurry up
and dump him, already!
She sits silently. What did she do wrong? He hit her, so she must have done something wrong…
It's not your
fault! It's his!
"Look, Rocky. I'm sorry. I'm being an asshole, I overreacted again. It won't happen again, promise."
I can't believe
you believed him
when he said that.
"Actually, Rocks, let's not go dinner. I have somewhere else we could go. Somewhere special."
Danger, danger! That's
the third red flag!
"Oh, where?"
"You'll see. It's a… surprise. Just for you, Rocks."
What are you
doing? Bad idea,
Rocky.
