Oh the Things I'd Do For Her

Different (part 1: Danny)

Maxx sits on her bed reading a book peacefully living out get normal boring Life. Her phone had been constantly buzzing but she refused to answer it. She hears what sounds like rocks being thrown at her window. She hesitantly gets up to check. When she does, she looks down to see her best friend Danny. He immediately wrapped her in a hug one He could see her pale face. He admitted the one glimpse he just got of her as he inhaled then exhaled. Maxx pulled away leaving Danny secretly hurt on the inside. He never wanted to let her go. He had a crush on her for the longest time. All he wanted was to call her, 'mine'.

"Maxx she's gone. I don't think I will ever get her back." Danny spoke through his quiet sobs. Although he had a crush on Maxx he knew it would never happen. Not only did he once have a girlfriend, but Maxx was in a relationship with her girlfriend of two years. He knew he would never have a chance with his best friend only because she was only into girls.

"How about this Danny, I'll take you out tommorrow. Sound good? By tommorrow you won't remember that rat you had loved." Although this deeply hurt Danny, he knew it was the truth.

-Next Day-
Danny woke up to the sound of the soft buzzing of Maxx's phone on the nightstand. He looked over at Maxx's beautiful sleeping face. They had sleep in the same bed but only as friends. Danny knew not to do anything. He didn't want her to hate him.

He picked up her phone to see her girlfriend had messaged her.

Hey babe, I know we haven't physically seen each other in what a month? But I just needed to tell you, I can't be with you anymore. We are going back on tour and being on tour made me realized I never actually loved you. I know and I will tell you, I wanted you only for sex. And that was the one thing you never gave me. So. Goodbye, don't message me back.

Danny nearly stormed out of the house to find Maxx's now ex and talk some sense into her but knew he had to be there for when she saw the text. He then got up, going into the living room.

Once Danny heard the loud sobs coming from upstairs he quickly bolted up the stairs for Maxx. He slammed the door open then ran over to Maxx, engulfing her in a hug. She held into him tight giving him some hope that they might be a thing.

"Talk to me." Was all Danny had to say to get her to talk.

"Sh-she left me." It was hard to hear her words due to the years falling down her face.

"Not only that but you weren't there, Dan..." she started to get lost in her own thoughts. Like how she loved being held by Danny. She never wanted it to end.

"I'll be there always... I promise Maxx." He whispers into her hair as he rubs her back.

-two years later-
Danny couldn't believe it took him this long to get the courage to ask his best friend to be his girlfriend. He was taking a risk, but he knew it would be worth it.

He crept up the stairs to her apartment. Maxx had to sell her house due to done financial problems she was having. She didn't mind it though. It just meant she was a person having problems like the next person.

He found her apartment and knocked. He hasn't seen or had much contact with her since the day after her girlfriend broke up with her. Maxx opened the door to see the one and only Danny Worsnop. She had missed him and he hasn't changed. Other than he had almost ginger hair and a beard. She still loved him no matter what. It was his turn to take in her features. She had people and blue dyed hair and had not grown what so ever still being the short girl he knew and feel in love with.

"Come in Dan." She says in a low voice opening the door. Danny came in only to see a man way older than Maxx sleeping in the couch.

"W-who is that?" Danny asked pointing at the man in his large forties maybe early fifties.

"My dad." He didn't want to remember her dad because of the fact he abused her when she was only a little child. He hated him for that. He regretted not telling anyone about what he did to her.

"Why is he here?" Danny asks trying not wake him for who knows what will happen if he does.

"He needs a place to stay... a-and-"

"Did he do what he did when you when younger?" Danny tried keeping his cool. Even when he earned a nod from Maxx. He gripped her wrist and pulled her down a hall. He then picked her wrapping her legs around his waist and planted his lips onto hers. Once he pulled away from the kiss he rested his forehead against hers. He felt so relieved he did that. But then he again he was terrified.

"You don't realize how long I wanted to do that. I couldn't until now, because you weren't eighteen... but I can now. Right?" Maxx looked up at Danny for a second to look into guys gorgeous eyes.

"I know Danny. I wanted to do that too. But like you said I couldn't and you couldn't."

"Are my girlfriend now?" Danny asks setting her down.

"Of course."
