Danny's P.O.V
"Danny's a coward. We don't have the option to run away and let an altar deal with the pain. We have to do it ourselves."
I could hear everything they'd been saying about me. My heart was completely broken now.
Those were my best friends. How could I allow Daniel to be free and do whatever he pleased with my family? How..because I was so broken.
The urge to end my life had grown worse. And it didn't seem to be getting any better. I missed Ben. Missed him more than I ever thought possible. He was my everything.
I never knew what real pain was until he took his final breath on this earth and took his first on the other side.
I know I'd promised him I'd be okay. I promised him I would go on and live my life and eventually fall in love again, but I just couldn't do it. I couldn't bare to live without Ben.
I know you're probably wondering what it's like letting an altar out. Right? Well, it's like you're in a big room, and there's this big screen tv in front of you. What's playing on the screen is your life. It's as if someone else is living your life, and in a lot of ways, they are.
I don't want to come back. I don't think I ever will.
Daniels P.O.V
I have to admit, I was a little bummed when Cameron agreed to go with the others. Part of me hoped he'd stay. Something about having him there made things very comforting. He made things okay.
I guess I understood, though. It was a lot to process in just a short amount of time. I knew he cared for me, but I also knew he cared for James and Sam too.
I sighed as Dr. Owens got up and put his notebook on the desk. He shook his head and walked toward the window. I hadn't seen him like this before. It was a bit, odd.
"Everything okay, doc?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
"No, everything's not okay Daniel. I had high hopes for this meeting, but it didn't go as I'd planned."
"I tried to warn you.." My voice trailed off. Get a hold of yourself, Daniel. You don't need to let your feelings for Cameron get in the way. Not like he'd ever be with you anyway. You tried to kill James. You just ruined any chance you ever had with him.
"You can go back to your room now. I'll see you tomorrow." Dr. Owens said.
I nodded and headed for my room. Along the way, several of the nurses, even the one I'd slept with to get out of here said hey to me and were trying to ask if I was okay. But I ignored them. I couldn't get Cameron's expression out of my head.
I shook my head as I pushed open my door, shutting it behind me. I slipped off my shoes and climbed into bed, pulling the covers up and over my head.
Cameron's P.O.V.
Why couldn't I get what Daniel said out of my head? He was in love with me. Me.
I couldn't lie, I was a little flattered. I mean I'd had a crush on Danny for years. But this wasn't Danny. This was Daniel. The same guy who tried to kill James. How could I just forget that?
The ride home and been in complete silence. I think we were all still trying to process what had been said. Emotions were running high, and no one knew what to say.
We finally got back to the house and I followed them inside. Right as you enter the house there's a picture of us. All of us. On Danny and Ben's wedding day. I sighed and headed for my room.
