The Saviour (Daniel Atlas)

Chapter 12

"Danny I'm sorry!" I cried as he left the room, leaving me alone and a mess. As the front door closed, I fell to the floor and sobbed. I can't believe it. He walked out, he left me. All because I thought I was doing something to help someone.
Did you miss what happened? Well, let me explain.
-
"Danny, there's something I need to tell you."

"Okay, how about we talk at the apartment?" He suggested.

"Sure." I leaned into him with my head on his chest and enjoyed it, before I couldn't anymore. The calm before the storm.
-
We got to the apartment, and Merritt, Henley and Jack decided to go get food. We were offered to go too, but Daniel and I needed to talk. I closed the front door and went to sit on the bed beside Danny.

"There's something I need to say, but I don't know how you'll take it." I explained making him raise an eyebrow. Now or never. I took a deep breath and told him everything.

"Last night, Sky got a call from Thaddeus Bradley. Danny, he knew she was apart of robbing Tressler. She called me and told me, and so I told her where she could find us. And so she's coming to meet us." I stopped talking and looked at him. No emotions were on visible on his face.

"Please say something."

"You told her to come here. Where the FBI will be tomorrow morning? Where she could be in danger!" He started softly and ended it by yelling.

"Danny if Thaddeus knew, how long would it be before the FBI found out! How long would it be until he told them!"

"Phoebe! It wasn't your call to make! She's my family, it's my call! Now you've put her in danger!"

"Danny, I'm sorry, I only meant to help."

"Yeah, well spoiler alert, you didn't." He said before walking out. The first tear rolled down my cheek, and I knew it was the first of many. More and more tears fell down my cheeks, and my legs went numb. I crumpled to my knees and into a sitting position. In a sad attempt to muffle my sobs, I put my hand over my mouth and my head in my lap. I doubt it did anything though.
-
That's how I ended up here, on the floor with dried tears on my face. I heard the door open, and then shut.

"Danny?" I called out softy, there was no response. I started rising from the ground and the footsteps got closer, then the door opened.

"Phoebe! Oh my god! What's wrong!" Sky said as she rushed over to me.

"I told him that you were coming. I told him and he left." I said as fresh tears fell.

"Oh honey, I'm so sorry. He'll get over it, he's just a little upset, you know how he wants to take charge of everything." She soothed and helped me off the floor. "How about we watch a movie and have some ice cream?" I gave her a half smile and walked to the living room. "Chocolate or cookie dough?"

"Cookie dough!" I shouted and curled up on the couch with a fluffy blanket. As Sky entered the living room, the front door opened and in came Henley, Merritt and Jack. They stopped in their tracks when the saw me with tear soaked cheeks.

"What happened?" Jack said coming over to me.

"Where's Daniel?" Merritt asked.

"It's a long story but, boys could you go out and look for Danny and bring him back? Henley, we need you here to cheer out number one girl up!" Sky gave orders and surprisingly they were followed. Control freak like Danny? Must run in the family. My friends looked at the girl before them with confused faces.

"Sky? I thought you were leaving?" Jack said, still confused.

"That is also a long, long story. A story that I'll explain later. Now go find Daniel." Sky said impatiently, and motioning to her wrist as if there was a watch. "Chop, chop." She called as the front door shut. Henley sat down beside me and pulled me closer to her.
