But On the Inside.

Sunday Part 2

Sam's P.O.V

     After 2 hours worth of traffic and Sam Smith's 'The Lonely Hour' on repeat twice I got to Danny's house. I really wanted it to be like it used to be with me and Danny. Sure I only knew him for a month but so what! He was charming and funny and sweet and why did Kay have to come into this pretty picture that was becoming a great... friendship. Gosh, life is so confusing! I approached the door. Before I knocked I thought about telling Danny how I feel. Maybe he felt the same way. Who am I kidding? I knocked and he quickly opened the door."Sam?" he said really surprised."Hey, just came to get the rest of my stuff," I said with a smile. But I wasn't happy with him. It was completely fake."You okay?" he asked letting me in."I'm fine," I said taking a big gulp. I quickly made my way upstairs. He just stood there completely confused. I needed to get this off my chest. I got my book off the nightstand and made my way back downstairs."Danny, I need to talk to you." And we both made our way to the couch. He looked very concerned and I started,"We weren't like this! You and Julian were the best of friends and I feel like I got you guys in this disagreement. Julian told me about Kay making you a prick. And I honestly believe him. Just think about how things are changing. Does she care about you? Honestly?" I asked coming to the end of my rant. He let out a heavy breath."Look Sam about Julian and me he isn't Kay's number one fan but I think you noticed that. You didn't cause anything. He's watching out for me and I owe him an apology. And now that you mentioned her caring about me I have something to tell you. The only reason I've started dating Kay was because I'm crazy about you. When you went out with Derek my heart shattered into broken glass. As dramatic as it sounds that's what it felt like," and he stopped there. I didn't know if I was shocked or glad he felt the same way."Danny, that's what I came here to tell you," I said with a giggle,"I'm crazy about you too. I accidentally called Derek Danny how do you think he felt about that?" I said laughing. He laughed too but then he looked me in the eye."Seriously Sam, once I get things cleared up with Kay I want a chance. How's that sounds?" he asked."Of course! But I have a few rules. My parents lived by the saying 'You have her but that doesn't mean you stop trying. You do your best to keep her.' and I take that seriously," but when I was done he had a look of pure confusion."So, you are telling me that we aren't going to immediately date. I have to win you over?" he said with a smirk. I laughed and gave him a playful shove. Danny smiled and leaned in. A million emotions came drowned my thoughts and I stopped him."Danny, I promised myself that I wouldn't cheat or help a guy cheat," and he withdrew."I forgot I should probably give her a call. Are you going to the game today?" he asked."Of course, do you think a die hard fan would turn down that opportunity?" I said pulling out my phone."Pickle why are you a big Pats fan? Aren't you from California?" "I am but my dad was from up north and my momma was from Boston," I smiled looking down thinking of my mother's amazing personality and how my dad told me I was growing up to be just like her."Is that why you are doing this? Because you may be fooling your family but I can see this isn't what you want. What really is your dream career?" I was in complete shock. He really did believe in the deeper inside."I always wanted to be a photographer. You know be booked at weddings. But when I told my dad that he laughed in my face and said I couldn't fool him. He thought I was completely joking. I just couldn't let him down you know? Plus I felt like I was closer to my mom living here." Before Danny could respond which it didn't really seem like he was going to, my phone rang."Dad?" "Hey honey, I figured if you weren't up yet something was wrong. Just checking in. So you're going to that game?" "Yeah, are you guys sure you don't want to go?" I asked. It was weird for them to say no because were else do you think I get my football obsession from? "Yeah, were going back to your house to get our stuff and we'll meet you at the stadium since the airport is by there." "Okay, Dad. I love you marine." I had a flash back to when my dad came back from Iraq. After mom passed away he left to Iraq because he couldn't take the pain. I wouldn't blame him. He got home and I was so pissed that he didn't call on my birthday a week before. When he surprised me at school I called him Marine Henderson."I love you SJ," and he hung up. I looked over and Danny was staring at me funny."Marine?" he asked. And I explained the story.

     12 pm came around and I decided I'd get there a bit early."What do you mean? Your aren't going with me?" Danny asked. I laughed at his sad face but got to the point,"Danny boy you still have to apologize to Bubba. You also are still dating Kay at this moment. Until you get your act together and explain yourself you are on your own." I got up and patted his knee. He quickly grabbed my hand and I soon noticed this wasn't the right time for a relationship for Danny."Daniel, don't do this to yourself. Think about how you feel, really. Talk to Kay about the truth. Get better and practice hard this last week. Don't do this to yourself, Danny. Don't mess up your path with a boulder in it. This isn't the time but don't worry I'll wait. I promise." "That's what the outside is saying but on the inside..." "It's the same thing. Later D," and I made my way out to my car. As soon as I reached it a tear slipped but that was the right thing for him now.

Danny's P.O.V

     As soon as Sam stepped out I let out a much-needed scream. Then I grabbed my phone and dialed Kay's number. It was now or never. Sam said to think things over but I did hundreds of times and all I want is her."Hello?" Kay said as she answered."Babe, it's Danny." "Oh hey, what's up?" "Well, we need to talk about something. It's about us." "Okay, what is it?" "The only reason I called you up again was to get my mind off Sam but it turns out she likes me back. I was thinking you wouldn't take it that hard. I want to break up. No hard feelings?" I was terrified to break her heart."Thank god. Danny, I wasn't really feeling it either. Well, I gotta get back to work. Glad we worked this out. Later." And she hung up. Well, that was almost too easy. Now I have to wait until after  the game to talk to Julian. And Sam thinks I'm not ready to get into a relationship. Maybe she was right.
