In Love With A Criminal

82

Blue POV
I was coming out of the one class I didn't have with any of the boys and I felt a tap on my shoulder when I was walking through the halls of the building. Turning around it was my boos. " can we talk?" Derrick asked and I nodded shifting my feet. They began to walk to a more secluded area and I sat down and took note that they chose to stand. " so Lionel told us about the crazy dream you had of us adding another female to the group" Danny says and Derrick nods. I flip my curls over my shoulder. " it's nothing, just a dream" I say and Lionel looked at me like he didn't believe me. " it was a dream that caused you to avoid seeing us in person for two days after having it" Danny asks and I sigh. " we're not adding anyone else Blue, we meant it when we said if she ain't our red we don't want it" Danny says having a seat next to me. " I just want you to know I'd go to war with god behind you, I'm not going anywhere" Lionel says. " with the man himself behind you" Derrick added and they made me feel a lot better about the dream and a little more secure in our relationship.

We began to talk a little more when Danny said something that made me make eye contact with him. The eye contact he gave back was intense. I only broke eye contact after somebody came up to us to talk to his LB's that somebody being Mal. " hey B" he gives me a hug and I hug him only to see that Derrick has his eyes on me. I knew what the look meant and I blushed pulling away from Mal a bit and smiled at him. " you guys should give me and my lady a moment" Derrick asks. " I mean so fuck us but sure" Danny playfully asks making me giggle. " so are you really good?" He asked putting his arm around me. " yeah" I say and I stares at me, trying to figure out if I was telling the truth or not, I've learned to throw them off so it was relieving when he decided that I was. " just need a little space" I say and he nodded.

" so it's not good" he chuckles and I look at the wall. " okay space, got it, will we still                                                                                be doing movie night tomorrow?" He asked and I shake my head no. " probably not" I say and he nodded before going back to join the boys and I walked away to my next class. I mean I know they tell me all the time they'd never go after another Red and that they only wanted me, I know that they're nothing like my two cheating ex husbands, just something about that dream felt very real, as if it'll happen in the future. Sitting in my room hooks surrounding me as I distracted myself by studying. Clicking the pen as I hear the door open and when I lifted my head I see Danny. " hey" I say softly and seeing that Bailey let him in. " I'm impartial but your gonna hear them out after they heard you out" Bailey says sitting on the bed.

" this is deeper than Autum isn't it?" He asked softly. It's always been deeper than Autum. My eyes grew teary eyed and he pulls me into a hug as the first tears drop. I couldn't go out like this and so I gathered everything in me to stop the tears and pull away from Danny. I couldn't let my emotions get the best of me.  I just need some time to think and some time away from them and I've kind of already been doing that but not really because I've been texting them back I just haven't seen them in person.                                                               

Danny POV
I watched her pull away and take a few seconds to think about what she was going to do next. " I think, I need a break" her voice soft and full of hurt. " I'll see you two later" Bailey says grabbing her phone and wallet before leaving the room. Turning my attention back to Blue who was sitting on the bed watching me. " Is this because we ganged up on you for not coming to see us?" I asked her and she shakes her head no. " Is this about the Autumn thing?" I wanted to know what caused this so we could work through this with her. She pauses and shrugs a bit with this question. " Kinda" Her response told me she was telling the truth.

That the Autumn girl may be part of the reason, though we've all spoke to Autumn on several different occasions, she was a friend at most, but we most definitely knew she wasn't our Red. " Is this a space thing?" She paused and nodded slowly. " yeah mostly" I realized I was holding her hand when I felt my thumb began to run across the back of it. So it was partly an Autumn thing and mostly a space thing, meaning there was little to nothing me and the boys could do about her wanting a break but it respect her wishes. I know B would never say that if she truly didn't need it or think it, plus she had already  taken a two day break from seeing us in person.

Looking in her eyes I could see she was overwhelmed, I know the wrong question would set the anxiety riddled ticking time bomb she currently is off. " Okay, Can I have a hug?" My chest actually hurt a lot, I was doing my best to keep it together, and I know she would feel even worse if I let my emotions show outwardly in front of her. She smiles opening her arms at the same time I opened mine. She stood up and made her way to me before wrapping her arms around me.

She was warm. " I'll let the boys know" my voice shaky. " Danny, I'm sorry" she whimpers as I said that. " No need to be sorry, this is not a break up, we're just going on a little break, it's okay" I assured her that the way she was feeling form needing this break was very valid. " we're good?" She asked looking up at me and I nodded. " we're good" confirming this with a kiss to her forehead she pouts pulling away. " I'll see you around"  I nod with a smile to her words. " see you around". We began to do our handshake and instead of kissing at the end I pull her into another hug . It lasted for a moment before I felt my eyes watering and I pulled away from her. " enjoy the rest of your day" I nod to her words and wave her goodbye closing the door behind me as I exit her room.  I sniffled as I pulled my phone out to tell the guys the to meet me so I can tell them what happened.
