The Best Friend (Danny O'Donoghue)

Chapter 4: What Is Love?

Kathy

I had no idea what to do about my friendship with Danny. Yes I felt something for him. Was it just friendship? Have I lost my mind to fall in love with Danny all over again. Last time it didn't ended well, it wasn't a bad ending, but it ended. And everyone remembers the end of their first love.

Anna and Glen went out the next night. Apparently they had a good time the other day. Danny came to visit me. This time we stayed at home.

I fixed us some tea. I knew he was big on tea. I remembered that from when we were little.

'Here you go', I said with a smile. 'Thanks', Danny said and he was blowing for the heat. 'Last night when you and Glen were gone Anna asked about how we met and how we started dating', I said with a smile. 'Did you tell her?', Danny asked. 'Of course, I can't keep a secret from my best friend', I said.

'Oh speaking about friends, Rina mentioned that she wanted to see you really bad, Mark was quoting that to me and he urged me to quote it back to you', Danny said. 'So Mark and Rina are married now?', I said. 'Yes, and they have kids, beautiful kids who call me 'uncle Danny', Danny said with a grin.

'Aaaw they were so great together, I feel sorry that I lost touch with her, I can't explain exactly why', I sighted. 'You both grew up, apart from each other, it's not anyone's fault', Danny said and he sipped his tea.

'Always a gentleman Dan, did you know that back in the day... I kind a fell for you the moment I looked at your pretty brown chocolate eyes', I said still smiling at him. 'Really, when I was that little boy from 15 that came living next to you', Danny said. 'Yes, I loved that little boy', I sighted. 'Good times right', Danny said.

I went to lean against him. It felt nice. 'You grew up real nice Dan, no wonder you have so many girls screaming for you', I said. 'Those are not the girls I want', Danny said. 'I know... but they are a part of you, weather you like it or not Dan', I said. 'I know that too, when I am with you I seem to forget all of that for a bit and I can be myself, it's like we've never been apart', Danny said. I gave him a kiss on his cheek.

I had to know better. It was like my lips got burned in the second and my stomach was on fire. From a bloody kiss that was meant in a friendly kind a way. Not a romance kind a way.

I saw Danny biting his lip. He used to do that when he was about to kiss me. But I wouldn't let him this time. No I wouldn't let him break my heart again. I don't want to lose this friendship we just picked up.

I think Danny saw the fear in my eyes because he let his hand slide into mine and our fingers intertwined. He put the other hand on my stomach and he kissed my hair. 'I won't hurt you again, I promise', Danny whispered. 'Don't make promises you might not be able to keep', I whispered back.

The next morning Danny and I woke up like this. His arms around my stomach and my head in his lab.

'Shit!', I said getting up real fast. Danny woke up not so peaceful. 'Whazzup', he said sleepy. 'Work... ever heard of that', I said and I jumped under the shower and got on different cloths.

'Danny?', I asked surprised when he had his jacket on. 'Let me come with you, I am a good excuse to come late at work', Danny said with a grin. 'Sure, why not, I am only an agent, a second agent, the work sucks and I work 4 hours a day. I even get to choose weather I stay home or go there. This time I have to go there, I stayed home for 4 weeks now', I said. 'Sounds like a dream job', Danny said. 'I guess when your on the road that much it is, but I on the other hand, would love a change', I said.

We arrived at my work when the first agent, who is NOT my friend, named Melody. She was only first agent because the band liked her because of her huge boobs and big ass blond hair and blue eyes. She never missed me when I was working at home and I never missed her. But every once in a while I just had to come to actually see the band (The Streets).

I saw Danny looking at her like she had a disease or something. I was kind a glad. Melody's jaw dropped, but she recovered fast.

'Decided to finally show up here right... work isn't her strongest suit', Melody said more to Danny then to me. 'Thought I mike check out how the band is doing, were are they?', I asked. 'Doing their soundcheck, you better not in...', Melody started but me and Danny were already on our way to the soundproof studio.

I barged in with Danny. They greeted me like they just smoked some pot. Who cares anyway.

The leadsinger of The Streets was Andy. 'Hey Andy, how are things', I asked. 'Good my very hot second agent, what the hell does he do with you', Andy said. 'Chill out dude, this is my first love from high school, my best friend Danny O'Donoghue from the band The Script, you might know it if your smart', I said.

'Of course I recognize him', Andy said and he shook Danny's hand. 'Nice to meet you man, The Script is awesome, love the lyrics and music, dude arena tours, one day...', Andy said.

I shook my head. It was always 'one day', but Andy's love for pot and other drugs took the best of him. When I looked at Danny I wasn't even sure I wanted to work here anymore. I was sure I didn't wanted to work here. How did I ever managed to let myself sink so low. I am better then a second agent. I won't let my boss call me 'very hot second agent'. This was a low blow few years, even for me. Let boob job over there fix the job. I find myself another job. They almost killed me by last year.

'I am here because I wanted to say a few words before I go for good', I said. 'For good, girl I don't follow', Andy said slapping my ass. 'Get your hands of her', Danny said angry.

'Chill dude', Andy said. The drummer Max came standing here. 'What, can't handle us on your own, hitting a woman, real classy', Danny said.

'I came her to tell you I quit Andy, I am going to do something else, and it's not working for you, this is the worst job I had in my entire life, hell you almost killed me last year with your stupid drugs. I tried to help you off of it, but you only want more. It's not worth it anymore Andy', I said.

'So your a quitter, brave of you, I thought you were always to brave Kathy O'Brien, your just a coward', Andy said and he slapped me in the face. 'This is going to get you a law suit', Danny said standing in front of me pushing Andy away.

'Stop it', Melody commanded. 'Please here you go Melody, you got yourself a real man her, let him fuck you until you drop dead, have a great life everyone', I said angry. My cheek was still burning.

Danny and I left the building in a rush and we walked in silence until Danny reached out to my cheek. 'It's not very red, are you okay?', Danny said. 'I am now, thank you for showing up just in time to safe my life Danny', I said.

'So what was that with the drugs they almost killed you with?', Danny asked. 'It wasn't really meant for you to hear it, but since you are my friend, I suppose I can tell you', I said. 'Trust me Kathy', Danny said.

'About a year ago they slipped GHB into my drink. They were stupid and had no idea how to use it. I had no idea they put something in my drink. They did too much in my drink without them knowing it. My heart stopped beating for a good 2.5 minutes. I woke up in the hospital and had no memory of it all', I said. 'Jesus fuck, why didn't you left the job back then, you are so much better then all of them', Danny said. 'I had no were else to go Danny, I am a sad case, I don't have the looks like Melody has, I don't have the guts to start something new Danny', I said tears streaming down my face.

'Hey sssh, it's okay, you are beautiful and a powerful woman, things with you are going to be just fine, besides, now I am here to take care of you', Danny said. 'You promise?', I asked sobbing. 'I promise', Danny said and he hugged me.

Aaaaw ain't their friendship not cute :) Hope you liked this chapter. The Streets was a name I made up myself. I know it isn't very original maybe, but I had to do something that was a small band name. How about that drug problem they had and they almost killed Kathy with it. Please don't forget to vote and comment when your done. The Script liked another picture of min on IG! Whoop. Missed Periscope live stream sadly :( Night. x
