Hit me baby one more time (Danny Edge Fanfiction)

Chapter 20

GARRETS POV

When we stop at a red light I look over at Macie. She has her head leaned against the window and a melancholy expression plastered across her delicate face. I turn the radio down which draws her attention towards me.

"Are you okay?" I place my hand on her shoulder and she forces a smile.

"I'm fine. Thanks for asking though." She taps my hand with her own and sits up straight. "I'm just gonna miss mom and dad, that's all. I hope they'll be okay." She whispers the last sentence.

"I'm sure they'll be fine. They always are." I assure her, even though hearing her tone makes me worry slightly. The traffic light turns green and I put pressure on the pedal. Neither of us bother to turn the radio back up so we sit in near silence all the way home.

"I think I'm just going to go to bed. I'm not feeling too hot." Macie tells me as we enter the house.

"Okay. Call me if you need anything. I'll be in my room." I smile at her. She returns the gesture and heads upstairs to her room. I sit on the couch and turn on the tv, picking up bits and pieces of shows as I flip through channels.

My mind is swimming so I decide to turn off the television and go on my phone instead. I hope Macie feels better soon. I'm worried about her.

MACIES POV

I shut the door to my room behind me and change back into spandex and Dannys shirt. I brush my teeth, grab my phone and climb into my bed. The cold sheet cause shivers to run through my body. I check my phone to see a text from Danny, and swipe left to answer it.

From: Danny⚓️
Are you okay? Garret said you weren't feeling good.

To: Danny⚓️
I'm okay, don't worry

From: Danny⚓️
Are you sure you don't want me to come over? I'll bring ice cream;)

To: Danny⚓️
I was actually about to go to bed...

From: Danny⚓️
Well change ur plans cuz I'm coming over:)

To: Danny⚓️
Okay:*

I smile and set my phone to charge on the nightstand. I don't know how long I spent mindlessly staring up at the ceiling, but suddenly I feel a tap on my arm and I turn to see Danny's smiling face looking down at me.

"Cookies and cream?" He holds out a spoon and I laugh. He's so cute. I sit up and cross my legs before he slides next to me and pulls me into his lap instead. He holds a spoonful of ice cream in front of my mouth and I open to accept the gesture. "What's wrong?" He asks. I nuzzle my head into the crook of his neck and he sets the carton off to the side. His hand gently runs over my hair, calming me. I love how safe I feel when I'm with Danny.

"I don't know. I'm just worried about my parents." I tell him as he plants a soft kiss on the top of my head.

"Don't be." He whispers and I look up at him. His pure blue eyes stare at me with nothing but kindness and care. I pull my mouth to his and feel my worry melting away with each kiss.

"I love you Danny." I pull away after a few minutes.

"I love you so fucking much Mace." He touches our foreheads together and plays with a piece of my hair. "I can't even tell you how much I love you. I feel like I've known you my entire life, when in reality it's only been a few months."

"Danny..."

"I'm not finished." He silences me playfully by putting his finger over my mouth and laughing his adorable laugh. "The first time I met you, well, when I hit you with my car, I somehow knew that I was going to end up really liking you. Even though we barely talked, I just knew that we were, I don't know... meant to be, I guess. When I saw you at school on the first day, my heart literally jumped out of my chest. You were covered in bandages, but still the most adorable human being I've ever seen. I had the hugest crush on you, even though I kinda acted like a total asshole sometimes. When you went out with that Dylan kid, I was so fucking pissed, but at the same time I just wanted to curl up in a ball and cry. I was texting Garret the entire time and just hoping that the date would go terribly, which I'm glad it did." He smirks and continues, "I was scared that you would think the video I made you was stupid, and I was absolutely terrified of being turned down. I honestly kinda expected you to say no when I asked you to be my girlfriend. I spent hours practicing how to ask you and preparing myself for rejection, so I was actually really surprised when you said yes. I'm so happy that we made this work, because I can't picture my life without you. You're the literal light of my life and I love you so much." I don't know at what part I started crying, but only now am I acknowledging the warm tears falling down my cheeks. His thumb runs gently across my face, collecting the tears. I look up to see his eyes filled with just as much emotion as I'm feeling right now. "Now we should probably eat this ice cream before it melts." He grabs the container and sets it on his knee. We feed each other ice cream until the small container is empty. I curl up into Danny's lap and pull the blanket over myself. He plants a kiss on my cheek and I grab his hand to hold with mine.

"Are you sleeping over?" I ask hopefully.

"If you want me to." He whispers and wraps his other arm around me.

"Yes please." I smile, turning my head to look at him. His eyes twinkle and his kind smile reminds me of summer. Happiness and memories. I pull his mouth down to meet mine, in the same way that Mary Jane did with Spider Man.

Seconds turn into minutes, and minutes turn into hours, until I find myself falling asleep in the arms of the boy that I love more than life itself. My life is become more and more perfect with each day. Almost too perfect.
