Part of the Pack (Daniel Sharman)

She's Not Afraid

*A/N- Okay, hey guys! So I decided to put a song with this chapter because it's perfect for Tessa and Daniel. It's by One Direction because they're amazing and I love them with all my heart lol. So anyway, here it is:

Yeah!
One
Two
Three
Four!
Sneaks out in the middle of the night, yeah, tight dress with the top cut low, she's addicted to the feeling, never letting go, let it go

She walks in and the room just lights up,
But she don't want anyone to know,
That I'm the only one that gets to take her home, take her home

But every time I tell her that I want more,
She closes the door

She's not afraid of all the attention
She's not afraid of running wild
How come she's so afraid of falling in lo-o-ove?

She's not afraid of scary movies
She likes the way we kiss in the dark
But she's so afraid of f-f-falling in love

Maybe she's just trying to test me,
Wanna see how hard I'm gonna work
Wanna see if I can really tell how much she's worth

Maybe all her friends all tell her "don't get closer hell just break your heart"

But either way she sees in me and its just so hard, so hard

And every time I tell her how I feel,
She says it's not real

She's not afraid of all the attention
She's not afraid of running wild
How come she's so afraid of falling in lo-o-ove?

She's not afraid of scary movies
She likes the way we kiss in the dark
But she's so afraid of f-f-falling in love

What about all the things we say,
Talking on the phone so late

I can't let er get away from meeeee

When I say that I cant do it no more,
She's back at me door

She's not afraid of all the attention
She's not afraid of running wild
How come she's so afraid of falling in lo-o-ove?

She's not afraid of scary movies
She likes the way we kiss in the dark
But she's so afraid of f-f-falling in love

She's not afraid (x2)

I woke with a start, opening my eyes to see Danny pacing the room, his hands running furiously through his brown curls. Those beautiful brown curls, those gorgeous blue eyes that were so dull right now. That perfectly chiseled face, and that jaw line that could cut anything in a five mile radius. That jaw line that was clenched tightly right now, clenched for me. Only me.

Stop it! I yelled at myself. He lied to you! He might've still loved Nina when she left him. Now what?

You love him, go after him. Talk it out. Get an explanation. Don't let him go.

My mind raced with possibilities and scenarios. One half of me wanted to ignore him and not talk to him at all. Period.

But my other side wanted to listen, to try to believe him. To forgive and forget. To stay with the boy I love. To realize this was all a misunderstanding.

But when does that ever happen?

I quickly climbed out of bed and snuggled against the sweatshirt that had been placed over me. I immediately knew it was Dylan's. It was too big on me and it smelled like his cologne and soap.

Definitely Dylan.

My legs were bare and cold, forcing me to shiver.

Danny swiveled around and his eyes widened. "Tessa! You're up! Can we-"

I didn't let him finish. I walked right out of the room and turned to run down the hallway, but I smacked right into Dylan's chest.

He steadied me by my elbow and just looked at me, his expression telling me to go back. Go, he mouthed.

Dylan's face was hard and I knew he wasn't giving in. So I let him redirect me into the room, his soft hands clamped over my arms.

"Danny," he started, "you will talk to Tessa. Say whatever you wish to say. Tessa," he looked at me sternly, whispering right in my ear. "You will listen."

His breath tickled my ear, his lisp even more present with his strictness.

"Please, Dylan," I turned to him, burying my face in his chest. "Don't make me do this. Please don't make me talk to him. I don't want to!"

Dylan looked sullenly at Danny, who nodded and walked out of the room.

"Tessa," Dylan said into my hair, "look at me."

I didn't move.

"Tessa look at me!"

I picked my head up to look into his big brown eyes. "Dylan, please-"

He didn't respond right away. He pressed his body to mine, giving me a huge hug, tucking my head under his chin.

"So what are you-"

Dylan shook his head. "You'll thank me later."

And then, he tossed me onto his bed and ran out the door. Danny came bursting in, a shove from Dylan. Dylan locked the door behind him and screamed through, "Daniel, talk, Tessa, listen!"

And then there was only Danny and me.
