Danny's POV

"I don't know how long I can handle this mom." I tell my mom. Riley and Ben's relationship has been going for almost 4 months and I can't stand to see Ben with her.

"Danny sweetie maybe you and Riley weren't meant to be"

"That's not how it feels like. Every time I look at her my heart starts to race and I sweat. I can't stop thinking about her."

"Oh Danny" Mom hugs me  "If you're sure that if  you belong with Riley then one day you will be with her."

Bonnie's POV

I look into Danny's eyes, all I can see is sadness. Whenever any of my boys are sad so am I. I can't stand seeing my son like this, he doesn't deserve it. If only Riley got her head out of her ass, she would realize that Danny loves her.

"Mom, what should I do." Danny looks at me with his sad eyes and I swear to god I was about to cry.

"Well, you tried to move on and that didn't really work out, so maybe you could try telling Riley how you feel."

"She's with Ben now, if I tell her how I feel Ben will get pissed at me and I might end their relationship"

"Isn't that what we're going for?"

"MOM!"

"Fine! Honestly honey I don't know what you should do, you tried everything and they all ended in failure"

 To be honest, I really wasn't routing for Ben and Riley.  I know Ben is my son, but I really think their relationship will go downhill at some point. I just hope that everything works out for both my babies.

Danny's POV

 I go to the bar and for once Ben isn't there. Thankfully he is having a play date with Emma. I order a beer.  Why the hell do I need to have feelings, why can't I be one of the guys who have zero emotions, my life would be so much easier that way. Maybe I should just move on... again. There are so many girls that would want to go out with me. That's what I'll do, I will move on.

I get pulled out of my thoughts when my phone starts to ring. It's Riley.

"Hello."

"Danny thank god you answered." I can tell she was crying.

"What's wrong! Are you ok??"

"I need you." she breaks down and starts to sob. I run out of the bar and towards Riley's apartment.

I knock on the door at Riley's apartment. She doesn't answer. I knock again.

"Riley, it's me, Danny."

Riley finally opens the door. Her eyes are red and puffy from crying too much. Whoever did this to her will be getting the worst beating in their life.  I walk into the apartment and close the door.

"Riley tell me what happened."

"Ben... Ben, he broke up with me." I am going to kill Ben for making Riley cry. I told him not to hurt her, but he never listens. I hugged her.

Riley started to cry into my shoulder, but I didn't mind. She stopped crying a few minutes later, but she didn't move, neither did I.

"Riley what about we order some pizza and watch some of our favourite movies."

"Sure, that would be great." A small smile appeared on her face.

Riley's POV

After eating 3 boxes of pizza and watching The Princess Bride I looked over to Danny who kept glancing at me during the movie. He had his arm around me and my head was nestled on his shoulders. 

"Riley why did Ben break up with you?" Danny took his arm off my shoulders and looked at me. There was pain and concern in his eyes and something else I couldn't quite  place.  

"Ben, he... he thinks that there is more going on between us. He thinks I have feelings for you."

____________________________________________________________________________

Danny's POV

Ben's right. There is something more between Riley and I. I have loved Riley my entire life and everyone knows that except for Riley. How could she have not noticed. I need to know if she feels the same as I do, this might be the only time for me to ask. If I don't ask now I will probably never ask again.

"Do you?"

"Do I what?"

"Riley, do you have feeling for me?"

Riley's POV

I look away from Danny's eyes. Do I like Danny? I think I do, but for my entire life I have been focusing on getting Ben to like me that I never noticed the other people who love me, and by other people  I mean Danny. I was too busy falling in love with Ben or thinking that I was that  I never realized that Danny was something more than a best friend. So do I like Danny? I think so. Danny was always there for me when I was at me weakest, he made me laugh when no one else could. He did so many things for me just to make sure I was happy while he was falling in love with me and I never knew it.

I look up at Danny who is still staring at me, waiting for me to answer his question.
