Fears: Chapter Twelve
A/N: So, I know that no one has a three week Spring Break, but in order to make my time frame work, this is how it had to be. Enjoy chapter 12.
Danielle's POV:
The next two weeks flew by in a blur. Kitty and Johnny went on a vacation to Vegas and wouldn't be back for a few weeks. Danny; I still wasn't entirely used to calling him Dad yet; would be starting school the next day, as he'd been off for Spring Break when Walker found me.
Danny was trusting me to stay in the lair during the day while he was at school. I wasn't planning on abusing that trust. If I need anything, I was supposed to call him or Sam or Jack and Maddie. I was nearly certain that I would be fine.
The morning of his first day back, he rushed around getting ready, while I sat in the kitchen eating cereal. Finally, with his keys in one hand, he walked into the kitchen. "I'm about to leave," he said. "Call me if you need me and don't go out into the zone unless it's an absolute emergency."
"I know," I said.
"I love you," he told me.
"I love you, too," I said, standing up to hug him.
I was unwilling to let go of him, even as he released me. I finally forced myself to step back and sit back down, "I'll see you this afternoon," he said.
I nodded, unable to say anything over the lump in my throat. Danny left, shutting and locking the door behind him. I tried to ignore the sudden feeling of abandonment that washed over me. I'd been with Danny nearly twenty-four hours a day for the past few weeks and now I was alone in the lair.
I was still in my pajamas and realized that I was still tired. I decided go to lie down in his room for a little bit. At least if I was asleep, I wasn't thinking about the fact that I was alone.
I curled on the bed, pulling the navy blue comforter up around me, and shut my eyes.
A/N: Well, guys, I'm just warning you that this is about to get get a little crazy. Hold on tight and be prepared for some drama.
