I Faked My Death

Can't Sleep

Dani Pov

I sat at my desk watching a movie on my laptop because I can't sleep, I sigh rubbing my face tiredly, I wanna know what Nick is thinking, Its stressing me out just wondering if he'll forgive me or if I'll be the next kicked out of the pack, I stand up an stretch. I turn my laptop off an grab a jacket, I shove on a pair of sneakers and walk out of my room, I walk down stairs and out the front door.

I sit on the front porch as the cold night breeze made my face tingle, I used to come outside and look at the stars when I was little with my Mum, she would make up constellations to try an make me laugh, Dad was always at work so he was never home. I felt a warm hand on my shoulder an a tingling feeling spread throughout me, my heart fluttered "you should be in bed" I murmur as he sits beside me.

"So should you" He says bluntly "if you want me to leave I will" I mutter bitterly "the last thing I want is for you to leave" He says sounding frustrated, I look at him "I'm sorry it took me so long to tell you who I really was, I don't want to be Nicole again, I don't want to be weak anymore" I said teary eyed as I look at him "come here" He sighs wrapping his arm around me.

I lean closer "you were never weak, Dani, even when you were Nicole you always were the one to speak her mind and never take anyone's bullshit, yeah their were times when you let people push you around but I think you just liked the fact that people finely noticed you except you were clueless to the fact that I always noticed you" He says softly as he trails his finger tips up & down my shoulder.

I look at him "if we're being honest here I had one hell of a pathetic crush on you when I was Nicole, Addison knew that the troll" I said huffing an crosse my arms "wait so we could have got together if it wasn't for Addison?" He says sounding annoyed "if it weren't for Addison I'd have never become Dani, I'd never have met the people I did, went through what I did... what a bitch" I said making him chuckle.

"I'm glad you aren't dead but you will be if you stay out here, its freezing even for a wolf so come on" He says standing up an pulling me up with him "Nick" I said stepping away from him "what's wrong?" He asks frowning "I want you to know that while I was gone, even though you rejected me and at the time I didn't know what Addison had done, I still thought about you every single day, I wasn't revengeful and I wasn't even angry or sad, all I thought about was whether you were alright so I came back a few times after I faked my death just to make sure you were doing ok, I could have went to see my Grandma but instead I was always here and I don't know why I even bothered, my Grandma is dead because of me, I wasn't here to look after her" I said croakily as tears stream down my face.

Nick pulls me into his arms "your Grandma's death isn't because of you, don't blame yourself for that" He murmurs and once I had calmed down we went inside and Nick stayed with me in my room until I fell asleep.
