Danny Walker's girl.

chapter 11

**BRIDGERTON QUOTES AHEAD**

NARRATORS POV:

The Pearl Harbour attack literally rocked America. Many deaths happened on the 7th december 1941, may broken hearted families were informed that their loved ones never even made it out. But some family's got the lucky. When you are one of the lucky ones, you never want to feel the despair of not knowing whether the person you loved has even made it out alive, so you'd do everything you could to stop them from getting in danger again, sometimes though, danger is needed, sometimes danger is a sign of life. Danger is good and bad. Good that everyone needs a bit of danger in their life to show they have lived. The bad kind of danger is what worries us all, sometimes the bad kind of danger can lead in injuries and sometimes death. But danger is danger, no matter what you do, you will never be able to escape it. 

ELLIE SAMUELS POV:

Hearing that news, ripped another part from my heart. After the attack on the Pearl Harbour we have all been alert, we hear planes flying by and all become observant and aware. I managed to save 10 people from the bombings. I do wish I could have saved more but there were some serious injuries. The Pearl Harbour we all once knew is no longer. for days and days on end you could hear people screaming out in agony, in exhaustion. But that is to happen when a disaster like this happens. Luck works in odd ways, some of us are lucky enough to have seen our loves again, then some of us... some of them... they weren't so lucky.

I got back home for sleep after working for 48 hours straight, there was simply no time for rest, too many casualties. As I did I saw Rafe and Danny standing outside the front door with a cigar between either of their teeth. As they spot me getting closer they stand up expecting me. "boys?". Rafe bows his head a bit. I look at them concerned and confused. I squeeze past them to unlock the door, they follow me through to the dining room. Danny walks behind me, pulling me into the front of him, placing soft and sensual kisses to the top of my head, finding solace in him I lean into his arms. Rafe takes a seat, "anyone going to explain why you are both acting odd?" I wonder...

They look at eachother, and I am instantly filled with dread. "We have good and bad news. What would you like to hear first?". I begin to overload with anxiety and unease... "bad" I state. Danny takes a breath then looks at me as he says... "America wants payback. We are being sent on a secret mission. We aren't quite sure what yet but whatever it is could either end well or terribly." I come down with this need to barf. "The good news..." Rafe goes to say..... "the good news is that we won't be leaving for 4 weeks". Are they shitting me. The only good news they have after that shocking trepidation is that they aren't leaving too soon?! 

"Do you have to go?" I ask, Rafe nods.

So for a bit of revenge I could lose my best friend and soulmate. Real great. "I won't see either of you often, I've got work remember!. So it doesn't matter how long you have off, well barely see one another anyway." I begin to storm off when I hear my name being called, Rafe. "Ellie. You'll see us every evening". 2 hours every evening, well let's get started 2 hours a day for the next 4 weeks will completely fill the void of possibly not ever seeing them again. That's when betty, red and evelyn walk in. Rafe catches my eye when evelyn walks in, she seems uncomfortable, so does Rafe. That's when I look up at Danny and see him staring at Evelyn, "seriously?!" I mutter loud enough for both of the boys to hear. 

I depart from that room, running into my room. Why after yesterday do they still feel the need to stare at each other will googly eyes. Am I overreacting? 

I don't think so. 

A knock makes itself known at my door, pulling me out of my head. The door opens and in walks Danny. "Ellie" he sits himself down on the end of my bed, watching me. "Danny. Answer me this simple question." He nods. "Do you love her?", he looks.... hesitant. I feel my heart race then crack. He's taking too long to answer. Goddammit Danny!.  

Eventually I get an answer, "I don't know. I don't know what I feel for her", "it's a simple yes or no answer Danny". 

A minute goes by...

"I think so", that's when I feel my heart sting, ache. I'm filled with grief for the loss of his love for me. "Then what are you still doing with me?" I ask exhausted and mentally drained, "because I still love you more Ellie!", he says that with such certainty that I almost believe him, but knowing that not all of his love is to be spoilt on me but some other women as well... you can't get over something like that. Melancholy. That's how I'd explain my feelings right this second. "That's not how this works Danny. You can't just pick and choose which women you're going to love one day then chose the other the next. It doesn't matter that you love me more, it's the fact that you love someone else also. How could you let this happen?" "I don't know how it happened, it's just she seemed to be the only one feeling the same grief I was when we were under the imprssion that Rafe was dead, one thing led to another". "She's the only one that felt grief!!? I felt grief for Rafe as well. For fuck sake why does no one understand that. Whilst you were off with Evelyn, WHO DID I HAVE FOR COMFORT!? FUCKING NO ONE DANNY".

"Let's go back to that actually, Rafe was the one that told me about you and Evelyn, so that leads to my next question. Were you never going to tell me? were you going to keep leading me on, making me believe that I was the only women you ever loved?" I start to feel my hands begin to shake, "of course I was going to tell you", "really when? this was going o for what 10-11 months and you didn't once think that maybe it was the right time to tell me, maybe if you told me sooner, I wouldn't have continued falling deeper and deeper in love with you". "I love you Ellie and I will always love you. I can live without Evelyn, but I cannot live without you, you are the bane of my existence. Without you im nothing. Without you I couldn't cope. Please don't give us up", his eyes well up, I watch as the salty liquid falls from his eyes. Does he mean it?

Could I forgive him for getting with one of my friends? and not just getting with, falling in love with?

"Ok. Ok Danny but I swear if I even get the oddest feeling that something is up between the 2 of you I will simply crumble. Danny I have loved you since that very first moment I met you, and when the attack on Pearl Harbour happened, and I wasn't sure if I'd ever see you again something inside of me disappeared, I never ever wish to experience that kind of anguish and torment again. You hear me?" he nods, pulling me into his arms, holding me tight, his shoulders' relax. 

I find tranquil being held in his arms.
