Chapter 13:

Denver was absolutely in the worst mood of her life. She was down in the locker room, basically crying her eyes out. She was crying so loud, that she failed to realize the door open, and she felt someone sit down next to her.

"Izzy told me what happened," Adam spoke up, wrapping his arm around her. "God, I'm so sorry Denver. Danny made the biggest mistake of his life, how could he do this to you. I already know Izzy is pissed at him."

"She's a good friend, and so are you," she rested her head on his shoulder, and started crying again.

"Den, Danny is not worth your tears, if he really loved you he would have not thought someone else would even compare up to you. He'll realize he made a damn fool out of himself. You deserve someone better."

"I deserve to be alone, I always get hurt or end up hurting someone. You wanted me to succeed in life and told me to go to Philly for the job, I felt like you didn't want to be with me anymore. Then Hunter, me and him had a great thing going, but then I bailed on him when I started falling for him. Now Danny dumps me because he fell for another woman."

"Hunter, as in Hunter Bentley?" Adam asked, a little surprised. "I didn't know you dated him."

"We didn't date, we had another kind of an arrangement, because I was still in love with you. I'm better off not loving anybody. A physical relationship was a whole lot better than a real relationship until feelings got involved. I've changed since we were in college, I think it's best if me and you just stay friends Adam. I can't deal with heartbreak again."

Adam frowned, rubbing her thigh, "I'm still in love with you Denver. I can't handle you being upset. I'll treat you right, and you know that," he kissed her cheek. "Come on Den, I want us to be happy again."

She shook her head, "I can't."

"Fine, but just to let you know, I'll be here for whenever you need me," he kissed the top of her head before leaving the locker room.

Denver groaned, leaning her head against the set of lockers, "He's better off without me, every guy is."

"Danny, Izzy told me I should talk to you, what the hell is that all about?"

"Ever since I found out you weren't pregnant, I had to do some thinking of how I should tell you."

"Tell me what?"

Danny ran a hand through his sandy hair, "I've met someone else, a while ago."

"You've been cheating on me, for how long?"

"No, I couldn't cheat on you, this is why I have to break up with you, I've fallen for someone else."

"And you thought you would wait until after you found out if I was pregnant or not? You should have told me when you started feeling this way for her, instead of dragging me around for who the hell knows how long."

"Denver, I'm sorry."

"No, I'm sorry I fell for you, I should have known I would just get hurt. And you know what, I actually was in love with you, and you just threw this all away for someone else. And to think I actually respected you, you ungrateful ass," Denver balled her fist, wanting to hit him so bad, but she just got up and walked away.

Denver was so glad she didn't have to stay the rest of the day, Mac said she looked distracted and sent her home. Sadly her being home alone wasn't helping at all.


Isabella Pacino was defeated. She gave Danny a piece of her mind, but somehow it backfired on her. She was glad when her shift was over.

Izzy went to go buy some Chinese take-out for her and Denver to eat for some sort of comfort food.

"Daniel Messer, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"What are you talking about Izzy?"

"Don't play innocent with me, rumor has it that you broke up with Denver because she turned out not to be pregnant."

"You think I'm stupid enough to do that. I broke up with her because I'm in love with someone else."

"Like that makes anything better," she frowned, crossing her arms. "How long have you been having these feelings for someone else?"

"What does that matter, I didn't want to dump Denver just in case she was pregnant. I wouldn't have gotten up and left if she was. The fact is that she's not pregnant, so why should I still be with her, if I see a future with someone else. You are the one who introduced me to Lindsay."

"You're in love with Lindsay?" Izzy frowned. "I only took you to see her once."

"Well I kept in touch with her, she held my attention."

"And that just happened while you were dating my best friend, you shouldn't have just dragged Denver along all this time. Why the hell did you even try to get Denver to forgive you when you thought Denver was with Adam?"

"I didn't love Lindsay at the time, and aren't you the one who left me to go screw around with Denver's brother?"

"Well, that doesn't mean that you should've carried on like you did! I left you because I wasn't feeling the same thing you were. I loved Hayden and so I went with him."

"Then you can't get mad at me for making myself happy."

Izzy looked at Danny and frowned, "...Dammit."

Once Izzy opened the door to her apartment, a frown was brought upon her face. Denver was passed out on the couch, a bottle of beer in her hand, a few on the table, and two on the floor. She picked up the empty bottles and put them on the kitchen counter before going back to her passed out friend.

Izzy shook her, not so gently, making Denver groan and open her eyes.

"What time is it?" Denver rubbed at her tired eyes.

"About seven o' clock, what the hell Den, Danny is not worth all this shit."

"I loved him, what do you expect me to do?"

"Forget about him, he isn't worth it, you need to move on."

"To who I'm just gonna end up bein' disappointed, as always."

"Adam, he didn't do anything to hurt you, he's a good guy Den."

Denver frowned at hearing the name Adam, "I fucked that up, okay? You should have seen the look on his face when I told him we could only be friends. He hates me."

"He doesn't hate you Den, is that why you're drinking?"

"What do you think Iz? I broke his heart, the only heart I haven't broken is yours. I wish I could just erase today, I don't deserve to be loved."

"Don't start with that crap Denver, it pisses me off when you talk like that. I am not going to pity you Den, and you should know that."

Denver looked at her friend with a upset look, "I do know that. Why the hell do you put up with me?"

"The same reason you put up with me. I love you Denver, and always will," Izzy took Denver's hand in hers.

"At least when you say it I know you mean it. Why couldn't you be a damn guy?" Denver pouts.

The petite woman shrugged, "Because you aren't that damn lucky," she smirked.

"Don Flack is a very lucky man, if he's out of the picture then you should just date me."

Izzy laughed at Denver, shaking her head, "I think you drank a little too much Dennykins."

"What? You're attractive as hell, you know you can't blame me."

"Of course I can't blame you," she smirked, and then there was silence. "I brought us some comfort food, and you better eat it. I didn't cancel my date with Don for nothing."

"How did this week get so complicated?" Denver sighed. "I get dumped, broke Adam's heart, turn out not to be pregnant, and I'm getting nowhere with Hunter."

Izzy smirked, "I told you, you had a thing for Hunter. Now that you're single you can move onto better, sexier things."

"How can I 'hook-up' with Hunter, if he doesn't even talk to me?"

"I kind of told him that he should talk to you, and it would make you happier."

"Izzy, why'd you do that for?" Denver hit her friend in the arm, while blushing.

"Because Dennykins, I'm a kick ass best friend, and you don't know what you'd do without me."

Denver draped an arm around Izzy's shoulders, "Hopefully I'll never have to experience that."
