Jessica POV:
"Why your not at home with your mom?" I questioned Danny.
"Um...ask another question."He said.
"No. Tell me why," I said.
"Because I have another conditions." He said.
"What is it?" I said nervous and scared. It can't be more severe than a broken wrist.
"Henry stabbed me on my left arm." he pauses. "Five times and I need to stay couple of days here in the hospital."
"What really happen, Danny?" By the way Simon, was gone. He said that he was hungry. So he went to cafeteria from this hospital.
"Henry, knocked the door and I opened it. He was there with a knife pointing at me and there he stabbed me. He took me in he kitchen and threw me over the counter and that's how I broke my wrist. By then I blacked out."He explained.
"Danny, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have run away from Henry. Look at you now. All hurt and weak." I hugged me gently. "I don't know what will happen if your not in my life anymore. I'll die for you." I told him.
"Jess, don't say that. I'm alive and I won't leave you. I'll promise that." I sobbed when he said that. Danny is everything, every since my mother died, Danny was there for me. Every hour. Every calls. Every voicemails I made. He even was in the funeral of my mother. I will never find friend like Daniel. He's so especial.
"I love you, Danny!" I kissed his cheeks.
"Love you, too Jess!" he kisses me on my forehead. In the meantime, Danny and I were laughing, talking and I left with Simon for dinner.
Actually, he took me a quiet and expensive restaurant. "Why am I here?"
"Is a restaurant. I'll pay everything." He said biting one piece of bread. "How was your friend 'Danny'?" -
"Fine. But he said that Henry stabbed him more than two times. Henry threw him over the counter and broke his wrist." I explain.
"Don't you think his lying to you?" -
"Excuse me? Danny is my best friend. He will never lie to me. Danny was there when my mother died and he also was there in the funeral. I guess, you don't know what love is." I rolled my eyes at him.
"I know what love is and I think you have feelings for your best friend, 'Danny'." He looked pissed off. Furious. Mad.... Maybe jealous.
"Are you jealous?" -
"Hell no. The word jealous is just a wasted time of saying." he said.
"Really? A wasted time? How you ever fell in love with someone so close to you?" I felt angry with him.
"I did. But it didn't work out." -
"I bet you cheated on her or maybe you lie to her, am I right?"
"She lie to me."
"Oh, sorry." I feel embarrass now.
********
It's Friday and I be all bored inside of the house of Simon's. "Where are you going?" I questioned him.
"Somewhere." -
"Aren't you suppose to take care of me?" I said crossing my arms.
"Ms. Mayberry, I am but someone will take care of you." -
"Who?" I said confuse.
"My friend Leo." He said smiling while fixing his tie. "Anyway, I have a date with someone especial. Maybe I could, ask her to marry me." he takes the keys and winks at me. "Good night, Ms. Mayberry." he leaves. But my guts started to ask me to follow him or go with him to the date. Simon is suppose to take care of me. Not his friend Leo whoever he is.
"Simon! Simon!" I shouted his name. I open the door and then closed he door behind me. "Simon! Simon! Simon! Simon!" he stops me.
"What now?" he said annoyed.
"Let me go with you, please." I gave him my puppy-face.
"Why?" -
"You are suppose to take care of me and no one else suppose to take care of me. O'Leary isn't paying you to seat around or go to parties. Take care of me or else."
"Else why?" -
"You'll be fired." He laughs.
"You are so funny, Jessica." he grabs my wrist gently and in to the car we are. "Don't embarrass me."
"I won't." I said.
