Laura's POV

I walked out of the bed room, fighting back a smile. I took a deep breath, walked down stairs. Why did that feel so good? I would have let him keep going.

Danny came out of the bathroom and ran up to me. He came up to me and gave me a huge hug.

"I'm sorry Laura. I never ment to hurt you."

"I forgive you, really it's okay."

"No, its really not. I treated you like shit."

Wow, he really did fall apart around Drew.

"Danny, I understand this is hard for you. I'm not mad, hurt, and upset with you."

"It's not an excuse to treat you badly."

"Danny. It's. Okay. You're strong, and brave, and I'm so proud of you."

Then Drew came down and hugged Danny. Then told him, "Laura's right. You are strong, you are brave, and everyone is so so so proud of you. Come on let's go sit on the couch and calm down."

We all went to the living room and sat down. Danny sat between Drew and I, Drew had his arm around Danny's waist, I was holding Danny's hand, and rubbing over it with my thumb.

Drew and I exchanged a look. I had to bite my cheek to keep from smiling. Danny's phone made a dinging sound and he pulled it out. He opened the notification and slapped his hand to his mouth. He passed the phone to Drew and Drew began to read it out loud.

"Hi Danny, I wanted to take a second to thank you for saving my life. About a year and a half ago, My Grandma, 2 of my uncles, and my dog, passed away. I became really depressed, I began self-harming, and I made a suicide attempt. My parents thought I did it for attention and constantly yelled at me. Months passed and I continued this path. I finally snapped one day and I made my plans to end it all once again. That night I did the things I enjoyed for the last time, one of the things was watching YouTube. I opened the trending page and saw your video. The small amount of enjoyment helped me decided against suicide that night. I finally got help from my friend. He said, "I'm so glad I didn't give up, with out you I would have given up." So thank you, you saved my life and my friends and I can't be happier you did."

I had tears in my eyes obviously being on social media had impacts on people. But he saved a life, by being him self.

"Danny you saved a life, you are  important. You saved that friend from a world of pain," Drew said.

I spoke up as well, "I think I can speak for Drew too when I say we love you so much, and without you I'm sure we would both give up."

Drew nodded, "We love you so much."

Danny's POV
