Time skip, six months later...

Danny POV

I took a deep breath as I was sitting in the middle of the meadow, far away from Amity Parks.

Six months of therapy so far really can be exhausting, but with the right people in your life, you'll be able to achieve a new goal. 

After all, it's been stressful and very new the first time I went.

I was so nervous that I didn't even speak to my therapist on the first day, but over time, I talked about my problems.

I talked about my depression, my thoughts, my cuts, and my pain.

He diagnosed me with medicine and told me to enjoy the life I have.

During my therapy era, I wanted to move away from everything and start a new life.

My therapist thought it was best, seeing that it'll help me go to a different path.

Katheren welcomed me with open arms when I arrived at her house, and, together, I slowly started to heal.

I couldn't help but feel pain in the first week, but Katheren was always there for me.

Eventually, I got the courage to forgive everyone and thanked Dan for calling her.

After everything was fixed, Dan woke up a few hours later and knew that she was gone. 

The reason that Dan did call Katheren was because Clockwork was telling him about my situation. And with that, he left.

Had it not been for Katheren, things wouldn't have gone very well...

I shook my head, trying to move from that.

I know that Ruse was real, but she was the only friend that was there for me when I was falling. Falling into a very dark place, that is...

On the plus side, I reconciled with my friends, and we've been contacting each other.

Phantom would visit me more though, but I'm always happy to see him. Even if I did develop a crush on him...

As for my parents, I admit it was difficult forgiving them.

They always neglected and paid more attention to Jazz more.

And because of that, I pretended to be happy just so that they didn't need to care about me.

Big mistake...

As I already said, I eventually forgave them, but they were insisting on helping me more.

I politely decline, saying that I'm much happier with Katheren.

They understood, but we still talked throughout the day.

As for school, I had to go to online classes, and after everyone heard about my story, they were apologetic to me. Even Dash was, which really shocked me the most.

Mr. Lancer understood why I was going through with this and offered his apology for not seeing it sooner. I smiled and told him that it wasn't necessary. After all, no one knew what was happening to me because I wouldn't reach out.

Looking back now, I was slowly becoming a new person little by little.

That verse, "Bravery is not a quality of the body. It is of the soul," still catches my thoughts. 

After all, I wasn't brave to confront my problems, but now, I was.

"Danny, your boyfriend's here!" Katheren jokingly said as she lets Phantom in.

Phantom offered me hello as he took a seat right next to me.

"Hello to you too," I said, looking at him with a smile.

"You've been better," He said, holding to my hand.

I sadly smiled before sighing again. 

"Feeling a little anxious?" He asked, trying to reassure me.

"Yeah, I guess I still have a long way to go before I'm completely healed..." I mumbled, looking away. 

We sat in silence before Phantom cleared his throat and said, "Danny, I'm going to be there for you, you know that, right?"

I nodded and hugged him.

He was taken back but knew that I needed one.

"I'm sorry..." I quietly said, not wanting to be ignored or neglected again.

"Hey, it's not your fault, alright? What happened, happened. It may have not been important, but it is now, Danny," Phantom console.

I only nodded before looking up.

Whenever I see his eyes, they were for comfort, even those lost in the dark.

Phantom stared into my eyes, and we were lost in our worlds.

"Hey, stop googling into each other's eyes and kiss already," Katheren interfere.

We blushed before looking away, knowing that she was giving out a smug look.

"Don't take too long~," She shouts as soon as she leaves, making us blush more.

I didn't notice his hand was on mine until I calmed down and looked at him.

"O-Oh, sorry!" I shouted, moving my hand away.

"I-It's nothing!" He shouts as well.

We didn't look directly at each other, but I sighed and said, "I... I'm sorry."

"No, no, it's fine, Danny."

"I just don't know how to say this, but..." I mumbled before blushing again.

"I think I like you..." I finished my sentence before looking away.

"... What?" He said, after a few moments of silence.

I repeated what I said but with an awkward tone.

This time, it took longer for either of us to speak.

'I think I screw up... Oh well, at least I got that out of my chest- Whoa!' I thought, before feeling Phantom's lips onto mine.

I majorly blushed before kissing him back, with my eyes closing slowly.

I unconsciously wrapped my arms around Phantom as he did the same thing but onto my waist.

He pulled me closer while I never wanted this moment to end.

Sadly, with the lack of air, I pulled away with opening my eyes.

"So, what now?" He asks, pulling me to his chest.

I didn't answer right away, but after a few moments, I did. "Whatever happens, I guess we do it together now..." 

He pulls my face, and we passionately kissed again. 

Now, I know that things are going to be just fine in the future...
