The Nerd Marcel

Chapter 51

Alex's p.o.v

We all sat around the lunch table as usual. The odd vibe filling the air. For one, we were all pretty much getting along now. Harry and Marcel had mad up, as did Liam and Leeroy, Zayn had convinced Perrie to stop going Barbie girl on us, Louis and Eleanor had no problems to begin with, Harry and I were on great terms, and Niall and Alison were completely head over heels in love. Everything seemed alright, except it felt like something was missing.

Danielle and Liam.

Danielle sat on opposite sides of the table from Liam. He sat talking to Carter while Danielle, looked a little off. Her skin was a little paler from her natural glow, her hair was a little bit distasteful and her overall aura was way off. It's like she hasn't had sleep in days and is completely stressed.

"Danielle" I whispered. She turned from her food to me. Even her eyes were full of sorrow, weariness, and fear?

"Are you ok?"

She stared at me blankly for a few seconds. Seeming a little slow, and piecing the words together in her head before giving me a simple shrug, looking down at the floor. I sighed, watching as she picked up her tray and walked off.

"What's wrong?" Marcel asked from behind me. I turned to him, his eyes full of concern, I sighed.

"Danielle seems way off nowadays, and I can't seem to get through to her"

"Don't worry, knowing you, you'll find a way" he smiled, pecking a small kiss on my cheek making me smile as a response.


Danielle's p.o.v

I walked away with a blazing head ache. My legs shook, my arms revealed constant goose bumps, and my head pounded along with the beat of my heart. I don't know what's wrong with me. Ever since Alex got in such a big accident I can't help but feel unsafe around...everyone. Like a giant wave of anxiety just washed over me, and I'm drowning in it.

Images of that day flashed in my head. 

The red and thick blood stained Alex's clothing and face. Her eyes begining to swell, and wet streak marks covered her cheeks. Liam stood over her staring down panting, with a slight hint of anger and guilt in his eyes. Marcel was a crying mess, his eyes had become red and puffy as Niall held her fragile body. 

I shook the images out of my head and headed for the bathroom. Thankfully it was empty. Walking to the stall I heard the door open then close, followed by footsteps to my stall.

"Dani?" Perrie called out. I closed the toilet seat and sat down on top, my body begining to sweat and my heart beat quickened, along with the pounding in my head. 

"Dani, Liam wants to talk to you" She added. Liam's name made me petrified. He was so violent now, not the sweet boy who would exercise with his mum when he got the chance.

"I don't want to see him" I sighed. My throat was imensly dry and I could taste blood, like when I finish a mile run with no water. 

"Dani please come out here" 

I stood up and felt the world spin completly. My vision went black then faded into color yet again. I opened the stall to a no make up, sweats and Zayn's shirt wearing Perrie. I blinked lazily to her then felt gravity pull me down. I saw her entire body in front of me as I fell in a thud. My eye lids closing and the world going black.

~~~~~~~

My head felt cold. I was taking in slow and easy breaths, and my body felt so un used. I tried to move my hands, but failed unable to control my body. 

"thank you very much" a familiar voice sighed. Liam.

"this is the 5th day in a row Liam, we could always call you once she wakes up" an unknown voice answered.

"I'd rather experience her awakening myself thank you" 

The door closed, then was followed by footsteps, a chair scooting out then silence.

"Dani" He began. The room was silent, then replaced with a sigh.

"Dani please" He pleaded. I tried to move my head, failing of course.

"Dani if you can hear me" He began again. 

"I am so sorry, you don't even know how sorry I am" He sniffled. I didn't have to see him to know that he was crying. 

"I could tell that day, in the cafeteria I mean. How afraid you were of me. It hurt me Dani, It made me realize how much I scared you" He paused to sigh, trying not to let his voice crack.

"I realized that I had lost you, and if I had only talked to you sooner or If I had thought before hurting...hurting Alex"

Another pause.

"Maybe we would have been at a picnic with the rest of the gang, maybe we would have left school together today, in each others arm out into the real world and away from highschool" 

School ended today?

"I remember the first time I laid eyes on you. You were this beautiful new girl, you still are and if I had been told that one day you would be mine I wouldn't beleive it, and once you were finally mine, I blew it by doing the most idiotic thing and" I could hear him begin to sob now. 

"And now you're gone" He ended. His sniffles of pain filled the room for a short period of time. I tried to move my legs, my arms, anything actually so I could tell him it was alright. He was trying so hard to make me forgive him and here he was alone with me and I couldn't do anything. 

"Well, i'll be back tomorrow Dani" He sighed, sniffling. The sound of a chair being scooted filled the room and feet began to walk away. I tried my hardest to move some thing and succeeded, my toes began to wiggle and my hand began to lift.

"Liam" I sighed opening my eyes. I saw him pause at the doorway and stare at me with wide eyes. 

"I forgive you" I smiled at him. His lips spread into a wide smile and he ran up to me, kissing me inocently and sweetly. 

"I am so sorry"

"I know babe, it's fine" 

He smiled wider and pulled me in for another kiss.
