Lofty's pov
Out of habit i got up early though it was my day off work, Robyn and Max were working though so by the time Danny got up they were gone! He came down to the living room and sat down next to me, he'd been crying:
"Are you alright Danny?"
"Yeah, i'm fine!"
"Did you sleep ok?"
"Yeah best sleep in ages!"
"That's good, have you been crying?"
He nodded:
"What upset you? Were we too loud for you when we got up this morning?"
He shook his head:
"Do you wanna tell me what's up?"
"It's just...you've been so good to me, helping me and i'm still lying to you!"
"Lying? About what?"
"Who i am!"
"What do you mean?"
"My real name isn't Danny smith!"
"I don't understand!"
"My name is Barry!"
"Ok start from the beginning what's going on?"
He sighed:
"I'm Barry Barry from Liverpool, my mum is Carol Barry and my dad Neil is in prison, my little sister Kacey thought she was transgender for a while but is just a girl now, my other sister Dynasty is in the police and i have only been out of prison myself for a few weeks!"
I couldn't believe what i was hearing, sweet little scared Danny was a criminal with a new ID:
"So...erm why were you in prison?"
"I was involved in people trafficking, i was driving a van with people being transported in the back!"
He was starting to cry:
"Hey, come here!"
I held my arms out to hug him:
"You hate me now don't you?"
"Hey enough of that, i don't hate you! You've served your time for what you did!"
"It doesn't bother you that i'm a criminal?"
"A little bit but i've seen what you're like now! Just no more illegal stuff! So if you're like that how come you're terrified of your own shadow now?"
"In jail they hit me, I couldn't cope in there!"
"Didn't your family try to help?"
"They didn't even contact me after i was arrested!"
"Alright, i won't let anyone hurt you, do you want your own name back?"
"Not yet, i need to stay as Danny for a bit, please don't tell them or they won't let me stay!"
"I won't!"
