Danielle's POV:

The door opening woke me up early the next morning. I squinted as the overhead light was flicked on and sat up slowly. "Hell," I muttered as my eyes focused on the one person I did not want to see.

"Language," Danny said warningly.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, certain that my hair was a matted mess.

"I'm here to get you. Walker called-"

"Ugh!" I moan. The eighteen year old looked at me carefully.

"Danielle," he started, "I'm sorry. How many times do I have to apologize?"

"I don't want your apology," I snapped.

"Then what do you want?"

"To be left alone! You- you haven't left me along since..." I trailed off.

"I know," he groaned. "I made a horrible mistake and I am so sorry."

I turned away from him. "Get a life."

"Danielle, I'm taking you home and that's final."

I glared at him, "You can't make me."

"You wanna bet?" he countered.

"Danny, I am not going anywhere with you!" I said. I stood up, realizing just how short I was compared to him. He'd grown a lot in the past four years; I hadn't. But more on that later.

"You are coming with me, whether you like it or not."

"I am not!" I said, stomping my foot.

"Yes. You. Are." He narrowed his eyes and they flashed dangerously. Great, he was on the verge of a temper tantrum.

"I hate you," I said, copying the exact words he'd said to me three and a half years ago.
