Colossal Damage

29 . Gain an unexpected allie

"You know he likes you right ?" Kalem states as I ignored his first question .

"Yah , I know ; he told me ." I tickle under Nova's feet .

"So ..."

"I haven't said anything to him yet . But I like your brother ." I blush as I finally say the words out loud .

"His become my rock this past month . His got this naughtiness to him that I like because it's exciting . I would to describe him as you know that red button they tell you not to push but you push anyway. That is Carter . Then his got this other side to him where it's just gentle , kind and soft . " I smile to myself at the memory of the way he held me while I cried .

"His git this security about him . He makes me feel so safe ." I hug a cooing Nova to my chest .

"There is so much to say about him . His such a gorgeous person ." I look at Kalem to find him smirking at me .

"Damn she is just as whipped as you are ." He smiles smuggly at me then at his brother . Carter is looking at me . His eyes are full of wonder , and I think I see a tint of red in his cheeks . Kalem winks at me and punches his brother's arm making the two bowls of cereal in his hands wobble .

"Novaa !" I hear Sandra call her baby whose head pops up at the sound of her mother's voice .

"Mama !" She slides off my lap and I smile as I watch her waddle herself towards the kitchen . Her hair is all messy just like how her brother's was .

"Here ." He hands me a bowl of Milo cereal . I smile and mutter a small thank you . His leg brushes against mine and I flush looking at the bowl of cereal . We crunch in a comfortable silence glancing up at each other every know and again . I'm taken back to the evening in the soccer field and then finally to the question Carter had asked me afterwards . He heard that whole conversation I had with his brother so he knows I feel the same way ; he needs to hear it coming from me to him though .

I take his bowl and my own and head off to the kitchen .

"Thank you for breakfast ." I smile at Sandra who is feeding Nova in her high chair .

"No problem sweety . Have a good day at school ." Carter and I are out the door and on our way to school . I suddenly get nervous . Everyone saw my little outburst yesterday . Carter must have sensed my distress because he places a hand on my thigh .

"We'll walk in together ," I nod and step out of the car . Carter meets me in front of the car and he wraps his lether clad arm around my shoulder . The lether is slightly cool agaisnt my skin .

"I have French first ." He tells me .

"I have Geo. "He walks me to my locker and then to my class . We surprisingly made it an extra ten minutes earlier today . He pecks my cheek and walks to his class .

"Hi ." Danny waves in my direction . I shyly wave back and when she motions for me to come sit with her I think twice .

"I won't bite ." I nod and walk towards her .

Screech ! I move the chair to take a seat and wince at the noise .

Danny clears her throat .

"Umm... thank you for yesterday ." She sweetly smiles at me and shrugs .

"I used to suffer from them too when I was younger . It used to feel like the world is closing in on you and someone is crushing your lungs ." She shudders at the memory . I nod at her understanding the feeling .

"I am sorry for tormenting you all these years . I was so cruel to you . Me and your sister . Please forgive me . "She looks at me apologetically and sincerely .

"That's okay you had your reasons ." I brush it off .

I stiffen when she wraps her arms around me but quickly relax when I realize she is just hugging me .

"Thank you ." We say simultaniously making us both giggle .

"You're not so bad Paris Miller ." She nudges me .

"Neither are you Danny ..." I relax besides her .

AN: to those who hated Danny from their firsf glance at her ! Heheheeheheehehehehehe
