Chapter 8 – The Right Thing
*Danny’s POV*
I slowly feel myself being dragged from sleep into the bright light of morning. God that must have been a hell of a party! Hold on, no…It wasn’t a party; it was…it was…ugh something I can’t remember. Damn my bloody memory! My head is pounding like crazy and my eyes are being stubborn and refusing the focus properly. I slowly haul myself from the sofa and soon find my balance is also not working properly. I take a few staggering steps before tripping and tumbling to the floor. I hear a wearily groan from behind me and then my name.
“Danny!” Cat cries before I feel arms around me pulling me up and back to the sofa.
“What happen?” I groan as I cover my face with my hands.
“What, don’t you remember?” She asks and I try and think but it hurts.
“Those people, they were going to kill me. Then…that’s it.” I say.
“Ok, well we fought them off but you hit your head. You got concussion and have a small gash but it should be ok.” Cat says and I try to remember it all.
“Right….” I murmur as I watch her between my fingers as she pulls out her phone and her fingers begin to tap away as she texts.
“Mark and Glen are coming over, they said they have something to discuss with you.” She says heading over to the kitchen. That’s when I spot the lock of auburn hair against the whiteness of the door and realise Autumn is peering around it, watching me.
“Hey sweetheart, come here.” I say softly and ever so slowly she edges into the room. “Autumn, who were those people?” I say and she looks at me with larges eyes.
“My brother and his friends.” Autumn whispers.
“What did they want?” I ask.
“That’s what I was going to show you, they want it.” She whispers.
“But what is it?” I ask but she doesn’t reply. Suddenly I remember something, did she call one of them Dan? “Autumn? Are you scared of me?” I take the look on her face as a yes. “Because I have your brother’s name?” I ask and she nods. I think about this for a moment, I guess I understand why. There was a boy at my school when I was young called Fred and I hated him. He would bully me and do whatever he could to hurt me. Then, years later I met another guy called Fred and at first I found it hard to trust him, he turn out to be a really nice guy but I guess I stereotyped him because for his name. “Autumn, do you think I am like your brother?” I ask and she considers this for a moment. “Do you think I will hurt you?” Finally she shakes her head. “Good, because you know I won’t. I would never dream of it. So, will you trust me?” I ask and slowly she nods and I smile. “Good, now why don’t you go and see if Cat has made breakfast?” I say and she gives me the smallest of smiles before heading to the kitchen.
*Cat’s POV*
Autumn sits and watches me make breakfast, her eyes studying my every move. That dog, what did Glen say she called it? Cassidy…ha, hop along Cassidy…but anyway, ‘Cassidy’ is sat by Autumn’s side wagging her long furry tail like a mad thing. I give Autumn some breakfast and then I find some cheese and give Cassidy it. (Dogs like cheese, I would give her some bacon or something but I know it’s dangerous or something so I don’t…I never thought having a sister as a vet would come in handy.) Then I take Danny a plate and an ice pack for his head.
“Thanks.” He says with a smile as I place the plate on his lap before sitting down to take another look at his head.
“It’s alright I think, not serious, you should be completely fine in a day or two.” I say before pressing the ice pack against his head as he begins eating. I can the feel the movement of his jaw coming through the pack and up my arm slightly and I begin to become strangely fascinated by it. Suddenly I hear something and snap out of my daydream to see Danny watching me. “Sorry what?” I ask and Danny smiles.
“I said thank you; for looking after me and…being here.” He says and I smile.
“Well where else would I be?” I say as I pick is plate up.
“I don’t know, out living your life.” My mind is screaming ‘but you are my life’ but I can’t say it, of course I can’t. “Were you here all night?” He asks and I just nod. “Because I think I heard someone.” Shit! No, god no! Please don’t do this to me! I swear I will believe in you or whatever if you just please don’t let him remember! “I can’t remember what you were saying, probably what an idiot I am. But thanks for being there.” He says and I have to try hard to stop myself from sighing in relief. He can’t know, it would ruin our friendship and I couldn’t cope with that.
“That’s ok Dan, really.” I say and he smiles. “Oh, Mark and Glen will be here any minute.” I say and before he can reply the doorbell rings.
“Speaking of the devils.” Danny says with a smile as I go to open the door.
*Mark’s POV*
Cat directs us to the sofa warning us to be ‘quiet and not to tired Danny out’…right…of course…or I could just not bother trying to remember it…yeh…I like that idea. Anyway so we enter the room and Danny is laying there looking rather pleased to see us.
“Hey Dan, how you doing?” I ask taking a seat and resting my foot on my knee casually.
“Ok yeh.” He says.
“Good, good.” I mutter looking at Glen who smiles and turns to Cat.
“Cat, what is that smell?” Glen asks and Cat looks around her for a moment.
“What?” She asks.
“You know I think it must be Cassidy, why don’t you and Autumn go and give her a bath.” Glen suggests and Cat gives him a strange questioning look.
“Ok…” She says and I grin at the confused look on both Cat’s and Danny’s faces as to why Glen seems so keen to get Cat out of the room. We wait until the bathroom door is shut and the sound of running water comes from behind it before we lean forwards and start talking in quick hushed voices.
“Right ok so we have planned this party for Cat as, well yesterday wasn’t much of a birthday. We have booked a place and sent invites, got the food and drink and everything for Saturday night and basically sorted everything for once! It’s going to be amazing!” I say in about 10 seconds flat so Glen repeats it so Danny can understand. I watch the smile creep over Danny’s face
“Seriously, what would I do without you!?” He beams and I know we have done the right thing.
