Broken (Edited edition)

Saturday with Robbie

We slept in the same bed that night.  One because it was really late when we both went to bed, and two because I wanted to.  I have on some long pajama pants, and a gray sweater I found on the floor.  Mark has both of his arms around me, and has his head on my shoulder.  I hear the front door open, and I hear whistling when I wake up."  Hello!  Anyone home?  It's Danny!"  I hear, but I don't move.  I think Mark's still out cold, and I don't want to wake him.  I hear footsteps come up the stairs, and they go into my bedroom."  Lyca?  Mark?  You guys here?"  He calls out, and then he comes into Mark's room."  Oh shit."  He whispers, and Mark grunts.  He's still asleep, and pulls me closer to him.

Danny walks around behind me, and slowly shakes me.  I look over at him, and he smiles at me."  Hey Angel."  He whispers to me, and kisses my forehead."  Want to help me wake up Mr. Marky?"  He asks, and I nod.  He carefully pulls Mark's off of me, and I stand up next to him.  He picks me up in his arms, and lifts me up over Mark."  Mark.  Mark!"  Danny yells, and Mark groans."  Okay, I tried the easy way."  He says, and drops me onto him.  Mark jolts, and looks up at me."  Hi."  I say, and he smiles at me."  Hey Ms. Lyca."  He says, and hugs me again.  He sits up with me in his lap, and runs his hands through my hair."  What are you doing here Dan, and how did you get in here?"  He asks, and I look up at Danny."  Arin gave me your extra key."  He says, and Mark rolls his eyes."  I told him that was for emergencies only."  He says, putting my hair into a pony tail."  It is an emergency, we are going to mall with Lyca's friend aren't we?"  He asks, and I look over at him."  Wait, are you going also?"  I ask him, and Mark sets me on the ground.

  He helps me get dressed, and pulls my shirt over my head."  Yep, and we'll be very careful not to bother you guys that much."  I pull on a dark blue hoodie, and I go into my room to get jeans.  I pull on a fresh pair, and pull my shoes on."  So...you guys aren't going to ask him about his dating situation?"  I ask, walking back into Mark's room."  No, we promise we won't.  But we want to walk around with you guys."  Danny says, and Mark nods.  Mark pulls on jeans, black hoodie, and his gray sneakers."  We're going to get food right?"  Mark asks Danny, and Danny smiles."  Yep, and I'll be paying."  He says, and Mark smiles.  Robbie texts me, telling me he'll meet me at the mall at around noon.  It's almost ten o'clock."  He says we'll meet at noon."  I tell them, and Mark nods."  Okay, then we have two hours to do....what should we do?"  He asks, and I shrug."  Watch a movie?"  I ask, and he nods."  Yeah lets do that."  Mark says, and we go down to the living room.

Danny picks an action packed movie, and I sit between the two of them.  Mark keeps asking questions on the film, and I roll my eyes."  Mark, shut the hell up and watch the damn film."  Danny says, and I start laughing."  Rude."  Mark says, and I lean into him.  The movie turns out to be actually good, and we sit there watching the credits.  I look at my clock, and see it's eleven thirty."  Should we get going?  I don't want to make Robbie wait."  I say, looking up at Mark."  Okay, if you want to get going right now, that would be okay."  He says, and gets up.  He grabs his keys, and he grabs my coat for me.  I button it up, and see Danny zip up his jacket."  So Robbie, is he nice?"  He asks, and I shrug."  He's nice in his own way.  He can seem mean, but you just have to let him soften a bit.  He's...had a tough time coming out."  I tell him, and Danny shrugs."  It's always tough to show that side of yourself."  He says, and I nod.  

I hold onto Mark's hand as we go down the elevator, and he grips onto my hand.  He seems a little bit on edge today, maybe because this is the first friend I've had.  Plus the only friend who knows about my situation.  I lean my head into his arm, and smile at him."  Everything's going to be okay, we'll just get lunch and walk around the mall for a few hours.  Relax yourself a bit okay?"  I tell him, and he gives me a warm smile."  Okay, I'll try."  We get out of the elevator, and walk out to Danny's car.  I get in the back seat as Mark takes the passenger seat."  So, Robbie's not going to be bothered by us?"  Danny asks as he drives."  No, he should be fine with it.  He knows how protective Mark is."  I tell him, and Mark looks at me."  I'm not even that protective."  He says, and Danny smirks."  Yes you are you damn liar."
