Trust Issues

Part 4

What was Jaymi talking about? I hadn't changed. He was obviously jealous of my popularity, Jaymi always wanted to be the one with all the friends and going to all the parties but now I'm that one. Everyone wants to be like me, I get all the attention and I'll admit, I love it.

I walked down the corridor, hand in hand with Danny, both laughing. He barged into one of the smart kids and I couldn't help but laugh when the kid fell. Charlene and her little group gave me evils as we walked past. Natasha came running over to us, stopping us in our tracks.

"Luke's having a party tonight Danny" she said, fluttering her eye lashes at him.

"Nice, what do you want me to do"

"I'd be hoping to see you there" She giggled, that horrible, girly giggle.

"Yeah you might"

"I'll see you around then" she said, waving and strutting away.

I saw Danny admiring her arse, he didn't think I noticed but I did, of course I did, who wouldn't. As we walked, Danny babbled on about some teacher that he'd had an argument with but I wasn't really listening, I was thinking, the questions flying around my mind over and over again. Was he going off me? Would he break up with me soon? I couldn't have that, my popularity would go, my status would go, I'd lose everything.

"Are you listening to me?" Danny asked, stopping and looking at me.

"Pardon?"

"You weren't listening were you?"

"I was, I just...I'm sorry I drifted into a little world of my own, what were you saying?"

"I said did you fancy the party at Luke's tonight?"

"Hell Yeah! Of course I do"

He looked at me and smiled, each time he smiled I just wanted to hug him so tightly and never let him go. Why do people always see him as a bad guy, he's not, not at all.

"DAN!" Shouted a voice from over the hallway.

We turned to look across the hallway to see Luke and a bunch of his friends waving Danny over. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and said he'd come for me at seven.

I spent 2 hours getting ready, slipping into my favourite gold dress showing off my tan, my favourite heels and my necklace. I curled my long blonde hair and applied my make up carefully making sure everything was perfect. I could never wear the same outfit again, I'd be criticised for wearing the same thing twice. There was a loud knock on the door and my room mates started to squeal. I opened it up to see Dan stood in his shirt and his chinos. 

"Someone looks very sexy" He said, winking.

"Thankyou baby" I said, kissing him on the cheek.

I grabbed my clutch bag, said goodbye to my room mates and headed down the corridor with Danny. As we walked past the common room, to the exit of the University, I saw Jaymi sat around the sofas with four guys. Two of the guys with their girlfriends, Jaymi sat laughing with another guy and the final one sitting scrolling through his ipod. One of the boys coughed and Jaymi looked up, his eyes meeting mine. He shook his head in disapproval and returned to laughing. I'd lost a friend in him. I turned back to Danny and we walked down the street.

As we got closer to the party, I could hear the music blaring from the house, so loud it was making the street lamps bounce and the ground under me shake. Danny knocked loudly on the door and it opened, Luke and Danny doing their handshake and Luke hugging me, telling me that I look gorgeous. 'Dont You Worry Child' by Swedish House Mafia began to play as we walked around the house. 

"What the hell is she doing here?" Asked Charlene, very loudly.

"Did you Invite her Tasha?" Asked Sophie.

"Nope, I invited Danny, not her"

If they could talk about me so I could hear them then maybe they wanted me to be part of the conversation.

"Well I'm here now, so deal with it" I said, turning my back, walking away in confidence.

In each room there was a different person. In one room there were people getting drunk, holding up their bottles and dancing around with no care in the world. In another room, people making out on the sofa's getting very intimate, maybe something that I didn't really want to see on a night. The thing is though, I've been to so many parties now, I guess I'm used to it. I went into another room and was pulled up on karaoke, singing with a very drunk Alisha. We sang various songs over and over again. I was stood on the karaoke machine and in the karaoke room for hours. There was one person I hadn't seen all night and that was Danny. After my final song, I stepped down and left Alisha to carry on the song on her own, she was so drunk, she wouldn't notice I had gone.  I pushed my way through the crowd and went into each room again. The people still partying and making out on the sofa I wondered where he was. I walked to the bottom of the stairs and heard giggling coming from a room upstairs. I walked up the stairs, quietly so no one would know I was there. 

"You're so hot" said a male voice I recognised.

I pushed open the door to see Danny making out with Natasha, kissing her and holding her like his life depended on it. I stood in the doorway, shocked not knowing what to do. Danny looked at me, our eyes touching and the tears trickling down. I looked at him, shook my head and ran out of the house. I could hear Danny screaming my name from down the street but I didn't stop for him, not for anyone.

The next day, the rumours had got around the school that Danny had cheated on me. Jaymi tried to talk to me about it but I just walked away, taking my books and sitting on the bench around the lake. I began to read some notes but I couldn't concentrate. The only thing I could think about was Danny and his stupid things. I knew why Charlene had been whispering at the party last night, her aim was to split me and Danny up and it was going to work. I was going to lose everything, I was...

"Can I sit here" Said a voice, stopping me in my thoughts.

I turned around to see Danny, looking over me, as upset as I was.

"Do you have too, I mean you've caused enough damage"

He didn't listen and took a seat next to me, the awkward silence between us.

"I'm sorry" he said.

"Sorry doesn't really cut it"

"They put drugs in my drink ok, they made me do stupid things"

"Yeah and I'm going to believe that"

"It's not like Charlene isn't capable of that"

"Yes but..."

"But nothing, the truth is that you're the one I want to be with, the one I've always wanted to be with"

"And..."

"Will you take me back?"

"Danny I...."

"It'll never happen again, I swear, we don't have to go to any parties anymore, I just want to be with you"

His charming words had gripped me once more and I had to accept. I nodded my head and he hugged me so tightly. He'd promised me and I believed him. I really believed him.

We walked back into the University, his arms around me, showing me off like he did before. Jaymi saw me and once again shook his head, knowing that Danny and I were back together. I knew Jaymi wasn't happy, but what could I do? 

"You back with your bird Danny?" Shouted Leon across the hall.

"You bet" Danny said, kissing me on the cheek.

Charlene and her group turned around straight away, their evil stares burning through me. I just turned around and ignored them. Danny promised me nothing like this would ever happen again and that I was his one and only. More fool me.
