Darry, Jason, and CeCe had tried to comfort her. Danny's mom gave up a while ago, though. They had visited Danny at the hospital with her, and sometimes alone.

Ms. Charity visited once to give Danny a get well card, but she was busy most of the time, so she couldn't do much.

The doctor had told them that it was more severe than they had thought, and Danny was in a coma.

Kailee was on the brink, and it seemed that tipped her over the edge.

"God dammit!!" Kailee screamed.

Everyone in the waiting room jumped, including doctors. They stared at her wide eyed as she scowled and barged her way out of the doors.

Kailee kept the inhuman snarl on her face as she stomped her way down the sidewalk.

She was looking down the whole time, so when she collided with someone, she was sent straight onto her butt.

She was already depressed and mad. This just seemed to piss her off more. "Watch it!" She snarled.

When Kailee looked up, her anger escalated and her eyes widened.

"You!" She screeched.

Who she was staring at was no other than the truck driver that had hit Danny.

"You're the girlfriend of that boy I hit!" He exclaimed.

"Yeah, I am! Danny's in a coma because of your carelessness!" Kailee blamed.

"Now, kid," he said as he got off of the ground. Kailee followed his lead.

"I didn't mean to hit your boyfriend. It was pure accident. I'm sorry, I really am. I couldn't hit the brakes in time." He tried to calm her.

"Bull! If you were sorry, you would have visited him! You would have at least called his family to say that you were sorry!" Kailee accused.

Kailee knew she was overreacting and that this was not the man's fault, but she was depressed, guilty and overall, mad. He was the perfect human to take it out on.

He sighed. "I'm sorry I can't negotiate with you. I know that you're not a bad person. I know you're probably a very nice girl, and you're just angry. I am sorry." He started to walk off, but Kailee wasn't having it.

She grabbed the collar of his coat and pulled him back. "I don't think so."

Despite him being older and bigger, Kailee threw him to the ground easily.

She stood over him as the man had a scared look on his face. "You're going to know what it feels like to be hit by a truck after I'm finished with you."

She was just about to kick him in the stomach when she was pulled back. "Kailee!" The voice said. "Stop!" She realized it was Jason and Darry.

"I'm going to make him pay! He hit Danny!" She screamed.

"Stop Kailee! Danny wouldn't like this!" Darry said.

Kailee stopped struggling as she watched the man get up and scurry off.

"What's wrong with me?" She sobbed as she went limp. "What's wrong with me?" She repeated before passing out in exhaustion.

Darry picked her up and carried her back to the hospital, Jason following.

Kailee woke up a few hours later in Danny's room.

Kailee blinked and checked the clock.

11:00 PM.

Kailee blinked then groaned. She couldn't believe she had done that. Her head fell limply into her hands as she buried her head into her arms.

She had lost control. She hadn't changed. Not at all.

She cried herself back to sleep.

Kailee woke up to a loud groan.

She turned her head to see Danny awake. She gasped and shot up.

"Danny! How do you feel?" Kailee asked quickly.

"I'm fine Angel. A little sore everywhere, and a small headache, but otherwise, fine." Danny assured her, using her nickname. He had started to call her it again after he was sure she was okay with it.

Kailee sighed in relief. "What happened anyway?" He asked.

Kailee face turned guilty and angry. "You were hit by a truck. And I wasn't there to save you."

Danny laughed painfully. "Angel, you're not always going to be there to save me. I was feeling guilty when I couldn't save you, too. When there was nothing I could do."

Kailee raised a brow. "There was never a situation when you had to save me."

"May I remind you about the roller coaster incident? And when you went all 'depressed'. I couldn't save you then and I felt horrible. But I realized I wouldn't always be able to save you. Besides, I'm the boy here. Aren't I supposed to be saving you?" He teased.

"Don't be such a sexist." Kailee rolled her eyes.

He laughed. "I was teasing, Angel."

"More like mental torture," Kailee muttered playfully.

"Mental torture, my butt." He laughed. "If you want torture," he grinned slyly and darkly. "I'll give you torture."

Kailee shivered, but in a good way, at the tone. "I don't really think you're in shape to torture me right now." She smirked, but her face was red.

"However right you are, doesn't mean I can't do anything after I'm healed." Danny remarked.

Kailee's face lit up like a Christmas tree. "You're perverted."

"But you like it." Danny quipped.

Kailee put her face in her hands to hide her face that now looked like a cherry.

It was 1:00 in the morning before either went back to sleep.

They talked and Kailee caught Danny up on stuff he had missed. She had told him what she almost did to the truck driver that hit him.

"I didn't mean to. It seems ever since I found out I was a demon, I've become more and more...evil." She sighed.

"You're not becoming evil, Angel. You're still the same. If you were still an Angel, you would have done the same thing. It's your emotions. Anger, guilt, sadness. Even if you were still the innocent, oblivious girl that you once were, I would still like you all the same and you would still act the same. Nothing's changed except for the fact that we know your true heritage." Danny explained.

"I just don't know what gotten into me." Kailee said.

"Grief. He was the one who hurt me, accident or not, and you reacted. It's perfectly normal."

"Thanks. I needed that." Kailee thanked him.

"Do you need a kiss? Because I need one." Danny smiled.

Kailee laughed. "I guess I do."

Both leaned forward and lips collided.

The same fireworks exploded between them as they did every time.

Few more chapters! So close to being done!! So excited! Bye my doggies!
