Unconditional(Nate Maloley)

Chapter 1

"Ana? It's like 10?" Danny's deep, Canadian accent rings through my ears. "I know babe and I'm sorry" I said. "It's okay. What's up?" He said almost in a yawn. I could tell. "Well I uh, I need to tell you something and I really don't know how to or how you'll react. Can I come over?" I said. "Sure, I'm home alone tonight. Sister is out with Adam and parents are out for business. I'll unlock the front door" he said. "Okay. Thank you. See you in a few. Love you"

I slipped into a hoodie and running shorts. "Where are you going so late?" My mom said. "Out?" I said. "Prostitution at its finest" she mumbled. "Yep, thanks bye" I sighed walking out. He only lived down the street. I ran myself there and walked in. "Danny? Babe?" I called. "In the living room" he said. I walked in and slid out of my shoes. He pulled me into his arms in a tight hug. "Are you okay?" He asked. "Not really?" I sighed. "Come on, let's go and talk" he kissed my cheek, bringing me up to his room. I layed on his bed next to him.

"So?" He said. "You know how I've been abused, right?" I started, watching him nod. "It's gotten worse now. My brother doesn't talk to me anymore, he's under my moms control," I sighed. "That's shitty." He rubbed my cheek. "Yeah I know. Anyways I kinda have been thinking of um moving somewhere." He sat up. "Like where?" I sighed. "Omaha..." He got up. "Baby. I-I don't know what I'm gonna do" I nodded. "I was afraid of this, Dan" I cried. "I mean, I'm not mad. It's just.. Just you'll be leaving me behind" I held out my arms. "You can always visit, you know." I cradled his head in my arms while laying down. "Yeah true. It won't be the same though" I nodded. "But you'd be okay wit my choice?" I asked. He nodded. "I'd be upset the first few days but I'd know you'll be out of the pain" I smiled. "I love you. A lot" he smiled. " love you more"

I woke up and looked around. I fell asleep and smiled because I was with Danny. "Good morning" he smiled. "Hi" I smiled. "Your smile is contagious" he smirked. "Yours is contagiouser" I said, trying to be cute. "That isn't even a word" he laughed. "Okay smarty pants I was trying to be cute" I laughed. I grabbed my phone that was by my side. I had a call. Mom. "Yes?" I said, slightly annoyed that she ruined a cute moment. "Where are you and why haven't you come home?!" She yelled. "Well, I'm with Danny and he was making me feel better" I said. "Not a surprise. Get in your pants did he?" I sighed again. "Thanks mom. No, he didn't actually. But since you think im a slut." She groaned. "Get home. Now." She said. "Oh, I'll be home. To pack my shit and get the hell away" I said. I hung up. "Good?" Dan asked. "Great" I said. "Wanna go eat at Applebee's?" He smiled. "Sure" I smiled back. We got into his car and arrived at Applebee's. "Table for 2 please." He said. "Follow me." The girl said.

We say at a booth in the corner and I sighed in relief. "Hey guys, my name is Jess and I'll be serving y'all today. What can I get you guys to drink?" A girl said. "I'll have water" I said. "An ill have iced tea" Danny said. She wrote it down and walked off. "Dan can I say something?" I said nervously. "Of course" he smiled holding my hand. "I want to apologize. I wanted to apologize for my parents since they won't do it. I'm sorry they treated my boyfriend like shit. You don't deserve it" I said. "And thank you for your family caring for me. You guys were more of a family then mine ever was" I added. "Babygirl it's okay. Don't apologize for them. I could care less as long as I have you. And honestly, my family loves you to death and will do anything for you. It's nothing really." He said as Jess came with our drinks. "Here you are. What can I get you guys to eat?" She smiled at me. "I'll just have chicken tenders" I said. "Fries too? Or salad" she said. "Fries please" she nodded, "and you?" Danny looked up "ill have the cheeseburger, no pickles. Fries too please" he said. "Great I'll be right back with that!" She smiled and walked off again. "Gimme" I said pointing to his tea. He slid it over and let me take a sip. I smiled in delight and gave it back.

Our food arrived and we thanked her and began eating. "These are so good. Lemme marry these right quick." I said talking about the chicken. I said a few vows. "Yours such a dork" Danny chuckled. "Mr chicken, you may kiss your bride" Danny said, and ate it. "Damn, that poor groom had a short wedding and a super short life." He laughed. "I love you. Your MY dork" he smirked and ate more. When we finished, he payed and we left for home. He drove to my house.
