MADNESS: A LOKI FAN FICTION

❤ CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: DANIEL ❤

DANIEL'S POV

Dinner was ready when mum came back down."is your sister back yet?" She asked lazily as she sat down next to Sheryl who was playing games on my phone.i shook my head in response."What's taking her so long?" She wondered out loud.

"Girl chat is never short." Sheryl said as she proudly flipped her hair back.

Mum and I started laughing.Sherly was just the cutest.And ever the entertaining one. She was taking up after Annie and Megan.They were the ones who obsessed over their hair and makeup and dresses.And just as Sheryl said, their chats were never short. I hated it when they had their sleepovers at our place.I never got any sleep between their screaming over some cute guy and freaking out over some pimple. They act like its a bomb about to explode on their faces.

Sigh..girls!

When I finally settled down to eat,I took my phone from Sheryl and put it aside.We said grace and began eating."Now tell me,why did you go through your sister's diary?" Asked Mum. I took a sigh and began explaining what happened.

"...then I read that she has feelings for Harry!" I finished dramatically."What the heck am I supposed to do with that kind of information?!"

"Nothing." She answered simply,as if there was nothing to it. She flipped her hair (and i realized Annie and Sheryl got that from her. They did that a lot) and forked down her food.

"What do you mean nothing?" I complained."Annie and Harry together?! That's weird!"

She looked up at me and shrugged."Why? Is Harry a bad guy? Does he behave a certain way with girls that should be a source of concern for you and me?"

"No,Harry is great,but--"

"Then what is it?"

"Its just that..its--its weird!" I said."He's my best friend!"

Mum chewed and swallowed before answering,"And so what? My advice for you is,don't meddle. There is nothing wrong with them loving each other.If it doesn't work out,well too bad.If they're happy,just support them and share in their joy. Let the chips fall where they may.People learn and grow from their experiences." She took a mouthful of food and smiled at me. I noticed how much she looked like Sheryl with her face full like that. I let out a sigh and shook my head.

"OK." I said with a shrug.

Just then we heard the front door open and close. A moment later Annie appeared."Hello family." She said tiredly and joined us at the table.

"Where have you been,Missy?" Asked mum sternly."What do I always say about coming home late?"

"I'm sorry mother.I was at Megan's and I was helping her out with a little problem." She explained.

"What sort of problem?"

"She hurt her leg really bad,and I couldn't just leave her alone."

"Is she OK?" I asked worriedly.

Annie nodded "yes" at me.Megan was a drama queen,and she complained way too much in my opinion,but I was quite fond of her and I cared a lot about her. I realized it had been a while since I last saw her,and I told myself I would make a point of visiting her and Adam and Lizzie sometime soon.

I was getting ready for bed when I heard a knock on my door."its open." I called out as I threw my tired body on my bed. The door swung open and Annie walked in already dressed in her barbie onesie pyjama."Hey," she waved at me as she closed the door behind her.Annie rarely came into my room.She only did so when she had something serious she needed to talk to me about,and immediately I suspected that she wanted to talk to me about her crush on Harry. I sat up in bed and moved over to make space for her. She made herself comfortable next to me,hugging one of my pillows and all.

"What's up?" I asked.

She looked up at me with fearful eyes,and let out a sigh."I..I need to tell you something important..but I..I..I don't know how--"

"Is this about Harry?" I cut her off.

Her head snapped up at me and she looked at me with eyes full of suspicion now.

"How did you know?" She asked incredulously.

"I've always known." I answered calmly."You love him,don't you?"

Her eyes momentarily widened with guilt,then she lowered them,shielding herself from my piercing gaze."I..I didn't know how you would take the news.."she paused then let out a sigh."if you're not cool with us being together,I will totally understand. I wouldn't want to upset you in--"

"Annie." I cut her off mid-sentence,and she glanced up at me with fearful eyes."its okay."I told her. Her eyes widened again,but this time they were filled with joy."Really?" She said almost in a whisper.

I nodded at her.

The next thing I knew she had me wrapped in her arms,tackling me into a hug and covering my face with kisses."Thank you!Thank you! Thank you!" She squealed every so often between kisses.I laughed shakily as I pushed her away from me."OK,get away from me. No need to be gross!"

She finally let go of me and went back to hugging my pillow instead. She watched with an amused expression as I wiped the lipstick off my face with my bed covers."Why do you even have make up on at night?" I complained."I thought that was like a crime in make-up world."

"A crime in make-up world?" She laughed.

"Yeah,"I nodded,"like,no make up when you go to bed?"

"I always wipe it off and wash my face before bed time.Don't worry." She smiled.I nodded in response as I rubbed off the last smudges off my cheeks."So," she sighed dramatically,"has Harry told you already?"

"Told me what?" I asked absent-mindedly.Then a thought struck me and I frowned at her."You guys aren't getting married,are you?" I gasped.

She burst out laughing again."No! No! No!" She giggled."I'm talking about the text." She said.

I frowned again."What text?" I asked,now filled with confusion.

She squeaked with excitement then leaned forward to spill the latest update on her love life."I was with him today.Before I went to Megan's that is,and we kinda kissed,and tonight we were talking;we were texting before I came here,and we want to take things to the next level.We want to date,go out for a little while,see how things are going to work out..And that is why I came here in the first place,to tell you,but I see you were way ahead of us."

"Oh.." Was all I could say.

They actually kissed? Ew! I cringed,visualising the two of them sucking at each others faces. It was really gross,but if that's what made them happy.."best of luck to you guys then." I added.Annie smiled and wrapped her arms around my neck,pulled my head closer to hers and planted a kiss on my temple.

"Thanks bro.Have a good night." She ruffled my hair and jumped out of my bed,then finally exited my room.
