Danielle and I left the café after hours of bonding. We decided to take the longest way back to the hotel because we were having such a great time. She felt like a best friend, one I had always dreamed of without even knowing.
As we walked my arm rested on her shoulders and her's around my waist. It was beginning to get dark, but our laughter went on. We turned on the street the hotel was on.
"This was really fun." Danielle said with her smile. We stopped at the corner, we were having such a good time and it was going to end. Neither of us wanted this day to end so we just stood there.
In a flash, a car much like mine came towards us. My immediate instinct was to move Danielle out of the way and I did. The car's front tires were now on the curb inches away from us.
I brought Danielle behind me so no harm would be done to her. A fimilar face appeared storming out of the car. Darla.
"You fucking back way from my fiancée, dirty tramp." Danielle and I stood suprised of what was unraveling in front of us. Darla came towards us, strongly pointing at Danielle.
"Just because you're in that shit of a band, you guys think you can fuck anyone you please?" Rage rose through my whole body, the words were directed towards Danielle but I took them completely offended.
"Darla, calm down. It's not what you.."
Darla instantly got a hold of Danielle's coat. "What the hell is your problem?" I grabbed Darla's wrist forcefully until she released her.
"Five years with me and you're defending this slut?" Darla didnt keep her eyes off Danielle, ready to attack any minute.
"What are you trying to accomplish? Quit it with the names. She didn't do anything. This is between you and I. We could go somewhere and talk." This was not the girl I proposed to. "You look so pathetic right now."
Darla took her eyes off Danielle and locked them with mine. She reached into her pocket searching for something desperately. A pocket knife appeared, one that I had hidden from her so she wouldn't harm herself.
She had it towards Danielle's direction. Danielle wore the most frightened expression, I could tell she saw her life flash by her. Everything slowed down, I could hear my own heartbeat as it sped up.
Darla pulled the knife back before jabbing it in front of her. I reacted at once, with my back to Darla I shoved Danielle to the floor. I turned back feeling vaxation and weakness.
Darla's hands covered her mouth, the weapon was no where in sight. I saw Danielle still on the ground, her eyes were wide with suprise. My body gave out, in an instant I fell to the concrete sidewalk.
Every sound faded, I couldn't comprehend what was happening. Danielle came in closer, I think, shouting but I didnt hear a sound leave her mouth. All I could think about was how I couldn't help Danielle, how beautiful her eyes were. Then pitch black.
