Chapter 5
"Niles what makes you think there is someone else"?
"She treated me awful this morning, she wouldn't even look at me. She has been angry before, but never like this. She was at a bar last night, I bet some man made a move on her, and something happened. I will never forgive her if she crossed that line Frasier. I adore her, but I could never forgive that. I can't believe this is happening, how could she"?
Frasier felt horrible, "Maybe she just talked to someone, they probably didn't do anything wrong"?
"Than why wouldn't she look at me, she is acting guilty"?
"Maybe she just feels bad that she went out, knowing it would upset you"
"Frasier your acting weird too, what is going on"?
"I'm upset for you, I don't know what to say. I just know Daphne is special, she is beautiful, fun, and you should treasure that girl because if you lose her, your a fool"
"I do treasure her, but if she won't talk to me, what should I do than"?
"Keep trying she is probably upset that you didn't take her out. Why didn't you Niles, if you did nothing wrong would have happened"?
"How do you know something happened"?
"I don't I'm just going by what you said"
"Frasier did she tell you something, tell me please"?
"No she didn't will you go now Niles, I have work to do"
"Frasier I trust you promise me your not lying to me. I know I haven't been the best brother to you sometimes. I know you would never hurt me, but if your hiding something from me to protect Daphne tell me now. I need you Frasier your my brother, I would hate for both of you to let me down"
Frasier suddenly felt ill he was going to be sick, but he tried to compose himself. "Niles I would never hurt you, I don't know anything".
Niles walked over, "Thank you Frasier, I knew you were someone I could always depend on". Niles walked to the door, "Bye talk to you later". He left, Frasier ran to the bathroom, and was sick. He came out of the washroom looking in the mirror. He hated looking at himself, how could he do this to his own brother. He couldn't tell Niles because he couldn't hurt Daphne. He walked back to his desk, and sat down, he almost jumped out of his skin when the phone rang.
"Hello"
"Frasier it is Daphne". She was crying which made Frasier feel horrible.
"Daphne you shouldn't be calling here, Niles just left".
"Frasier I can't face him, what am I going to do"?
"You have to he loves you Daphne forget last night. We will never be alone, and I will never tell him"
"What happened last night Frasier"?
"Daphne I have to go, I'm sorry". He hung up, he put his hands over his face, and tried to calm down. Just hearing her voice was making him go crazy. He had feelings for Daphne, he never knew he had, but he knew he had to keep them to himself. He could never act on them again, Daphne was Niles girl, and that was that.
