The first shards of light doused Lily's room in gold as the sun rose the next morning. She had had no sleep and her eyes were circled with dark shadows. A few tears fell from her eyes as she replayed what had happened and how she had broken up with the man she thought she loved. Tears fell more rapidly and soon enough, her whole body was shaking as she sobbed into her pillow. Warm arms circled around her waist, soothing Lily immediately. Danny had been woken up by small whimpers coming from the bedroom opposite his so he got up to comfort his friend. He kissed Lily on the back of her her head and she turned around to look at him.
"I'm sorry for waking you up." She croaked.
"It's okay Lilypop." Danny reassured and placed a stray hair behind her ear. "Don't waste your tears on that guy Lily, he slapped you and broke up with you for something that wasn't your fault."
"Thanks for punching him."
"Don't mention it, he deservered it." A small smile appeared on Lily's lips at this and Danny beamed, happy he had gotten her to smile. "Let's get up, I'll make some coffee and we can watch a film to take your mind off of things." Danny suggested and Lily nodded in agreement. The pair got up and Danny wrapped her up in one of his jumpers before getting one for himself. They both trekked downstairs and Danny padded to the kitchen, switching the kettle on, putting instant coffee into two mugs and getting the milk out the fridge, whistling as he did so. Meanwhile, in the living room, Lily was trying to choose a film for the two of them to watch.
"Danny! What do you want to watch?" She shouted and Danny stopped mid-whistle to reply.
"Don't care, rom-com? Comedy? Make sure it's light hearted!" He suggested and Lily knew exactly what to put on. Danny came through with two steaming cups of coffee and Lily pressed play, letting Bridget Jones 2 start. After handing her one of the mugs, Danny got on the sofa next to Lily and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. After they both finished the coffee, Lily lay down with her head in Danny's lap and he started to gently play with her hair.
The credits rolled onto the screen and Lily sat up. "Danny?"
"Yes Lilypop?" He replied.
"Will you get me a whiskey?" She asked and batted her eyelashes. Smiling, Danny got up and got two tumblers from the glasses cupboard and got the bottle of whiskey from the worktop. Once he was back in the living room, he poured them both a drink and gave Lily one of the glasses. She downed it and poured herself some more.
"Lil' I don't think that you should be drinking so much." Danny put a hand over the top of the glass.
"But Daaaaanny! I like it. I like alcohol!" She was already drunk Danny thought. Lily couldn't even have a little bit of alcohol before getting a tiny bit tipsy. Guiness was alright but wine or liquor was a no-no for Lily, so she always avoided it. She was the funniest person to be around when she was drunk, she was an extremely happy drunk and on more than one occasion had started to belt Gloria Gaynor, I Will Survive. The funniest thing though was when Danny and Mark had taken her to the local pub. After a few hours, she stood up on the table and sang Talk You Down. "It takes my mind off of things!" Lily interrupted Danny's thoughts.
"It helps me to take my mind off Hugh and my broken heart. It helps me take my mind off the fact that everytime I see you, I want to kiss you. And I cherish the moments when you hug me or kiss me on the head or even call me Lilypop because that, Mr O'Donoghue," She poked Danny in the chest as her words began to slur together. "That was very clever. Lilypop. Like a lollypop but with my name inside it. Anyway," She waved her hand dissmissively."That's beside the point. I like you and I miss you when you go on tour because I really really like you and you don't know that. And you never will and it makes me sad because I am just your friend and you have models and pretty girls falling at your feet. And I bought a car with you! And I decorated your room and I like all the stuff you like and everyone thinks I like Glen but shhhhhh! Don't tell him that you are my favourite! Because I want you to ask me out and it hurts me because I listen to all your songs and-and-and-"
Suddenly Lily's eyes shut and she fell onto Danny, fast asleep. Startled, Danny carried her upstairs and laid her on her bed. For what was left of the morning, Danny couldn't get to sleep because Lily's words were flying around his had at 100 miles an hour.
After lying on his bed for 4 hours, he heard the doorbell ring. Checking the time, Danny saw it was 10 o'clock and Mark was due to arrive at this time. Shit! Danny cursed and ran down the stairs to answer the door.
"Rough night?" Mark asked and barged through the door. "Where's Lily?" He asked and set his suitcase down in the hall before Dan led him to the kitchen to get a cup of tea.
"She got drunk last night." Danny started and Mark began to chuckle.
"What was it this time, Man Who Can't Be Moved?" He joked before he saw the serious look on Danny's face. "Man, what happened?"
"She went into this rant saying that she really liked me and she savoured every time I kissed her on the head or hugged her." Danny ran a hand through his flat hair.
"Well that's a first for drunk Lily. Then what happened?" Mark asked concerned.
"She was just saying that it hurt her because I had models falling at my feet and then she fell asleep so I carried her up to bed. But Mark- I- I think I'm in love with her!" Dan said desperately.

Lily woke up with a pain in her head the size of Russia. She sat up and looked around in confusion, she didn't rememeber going back to bed after she had whiskey--oh. She got drunk. That would explain the pain but she couldn't rememeber anything about the night before so she got out of bed and hobbled downthe stairs to get aspirin and a glass of water. She turned the corner to get to the kitchen but she was stopped by voices.
"-But Mark- I-I think I'm in love with her!" Danny's voice was desperate and he sounded pained.
"In love with who?" Lily asked as she walked intot he kitchen. Mark looked up and smiled at me but Danny looked like a deer caught in headlights.
