Review please :) makes me happy :D

Thanks to my friend Vicky for reading and reviewing! Even if the story isnt GREAT, it means a lot to me :) I MISS YOU BY THE WAY!

Ally's POV

I woke up early on Saturday. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't. I helped Susan to cook lunch and then played with Elizabeth until 5p.m. or so. After playing with a baby for about 4 hours, I realized I needed to do something else. I'd always enjoys walking with my Ipod, so I told Susan I was out for a walk and that I'd come back later. She smiled at me and said goodbye while I left, she never denys me anything.

'Trick To Life', by The Hoosiers [author-note: I love that song] was playing when someone put their hand on my shoulder. Instinctively I grabbed that person from the wrist, inclined a bit and pushed him overhead me, making him fall down to the ground in front of me. Maybe this is not very girly, but it's useful, it's a judo technique. I've been raced to be prepare to be kind of a killing machine, to be able to defend myself in any moment, or to defend those I was order to protect. My father, for example. I was my father's best warrior, his best protection. You still don't understand, I know. This has to do with a kind of secret guard, which is the one I'm running away from, where you can't trust anyone, and when I say anyone, I mean it. My father should have never trusted me, his own daughter.

I put these thoughts away from my mind when I saw it was Danny who I had just attacked.

"Oh, my God, Danny, I'm so sorry!" I said knelt down by his side.

He was lying in the floor, frozen, absolutely stunned and for the look in his face, kind of hurt too.

"What the hell are you doing, are you out of your mind?" he said.

"I'm so sorry, please forgive me, I thought you were… someone else" the idea of that someone else, that person I was terrified of, hunting me gave me a strong feeling of fear, but I pushed it to the back of my mind as I helped Danny to sit in the ground "Are you ok?"

"No, I'm not ok, a girl has just kidded my ass" he said, breathing heavily "How did you do that anyway?"

"I learned it back in my hometown"

"Are you in the army or what? You are so weird, girl"

"Yes, I know"

He bitted his lower lip. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it"

"No, you did, and I know you are right" the fact of being so different had never hurt me before, I had always known it, but listening from someone else really got to my heart, it did hurt this time.

"But… Being a weirdo is not bad" he said and gave me a small smile "Really. You are mysterious, that makes you sexy"

I laughed.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone about this" he said, his masculinity obviously hurt.

"I promise."

"And if someone finds out and laugh at me, will you do it to them?"

"Yes, I will" I laughed again.

He sighed and then laughed a little bit "You really scared the hell out of me"

"Sorry again, but you also scared me too."

I helped him up and then turned off my Ipod.

"What are you doing around here?" he asked me.

"I live around here. What about you?"

"Jazzie lives around here, I thought about visiting them for a while. She called me. Apparently Doug's mum's got a date tonight and he's about to freak out or already has. So she thought maybe I could chill him out a little bit"

I looked at him for some seconds with that same look I used to intimidate people. You get the best of them sometimes when they are intimidated by you.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he said "You don't believe me?"

Oh, yeah, there it is.

"Why shouldn't I? You've only told me why you are going to visit them... Or is there any other reason you are going to Jazzie's house?"

"No" his 'no' doesnt sounded too convinced.

I didn't stop looking at him and he avoid me look as he blushed. I smiled, knowing it had worked, it always worked.

"You like Jazzie" I said.

He stopped walking.

"How did you know? How do you do it? You are starting to scare me, Ally!" he said. Yes, I usually had that effect on people.

"You almost said it to me, Danny. I didn't do anything."

"You promise you won't tell anybody? You can not tell Dougie, he'd kill me!"

"It's none of my business" I simply said.

"Thanks…" he looked down as we went on walking. I had no idea where we were going, I was just following him "What do you think I should do? I'm 6 years older than her and she's my best friend's sister"

"Do you know if she likes you?"

"I have no idea"

"What do you think I should do?"

"If I were you I would do nothing at all unless you feel it's time to do something about it"

He stopped walking again and rush his fingers through his hair, a confuse look in his face.

"That doesn't make sense"

"That's because it's not time to do something about it yet. When the time comes, you will understand it"

We went on walking.

"Everybody sees me as a dumb. I'm not dumb, I just make many jokes" he sighed "And nobody thinks I can be a good, caring boyfriend. I like to party... and drink... and have fun, but that doesn't make me bad"

"Danny, I've never heard anyone talking about you like that"

"You didn't even know us until one day ago, Ally"

"Oh, you are right…"

"Do you think Jazzie would want me? Just as I am?"

I smiled "Everybody wants you, Dan. Just as you are."
