Denis' POV
"Hey, Danny. I'm alright. Y- yeah, I know. I know. I'm sorry. No. Right." I listened to Leda on the phone. I could hear shouting on his end, but couldn't make out any words. I didn't want Danny anywhere near her. He wasn't good for her. But it was his child too, and I wasn't going to take that away from him. I was in no position to. "Yeah I can come over." No you can't?? "Actually, can you come here? I'm tired." No he can't? But he did. I refused to leave them completely alone, so I stayed in the bedroom listening closely to them. It was simple. They mad up. Leda said she loved me. Danny didn't like that. Leda said they could keep in close contact and when the baby was born they would discuss what to do. Cross that bridge when they get to it. Danny agreed. And then he left. As soon as i heard the front door shut, I ran out the living room. Leda was crying.
"What's wrong?" I instantly say down beside her and pulled her into a hug. She sobbed.
"This is fucked. This is all so fucked up. I wish things were different." She wailed.
"I know, Leda. I know." I stroked her hair in an attempt to calm her down.
"I wish I never met him. I hate him. I hate what he did to us."
"It's not his fault, Leda. It's not anyone's fault. I'm sorry. It will be okay." Every time I said that I was less and less sure things would be okay. When we met, all those years ago, I knew things would be okay. When I was texting her. When I met her at her party. When I found out she had s boyfriend. When she came over and I was blind drunk. When she made us go to Eric's house. That whole time I knew things would be okay. I was fucking sure of it. When Danny came back, I lost that confidence. When I locked myself in the hotel room and threw away the key, I was sure things would not be okay. But I got her back. I don't wanna have to complete with Danny for the rest of my life. I don't wanna have to compete with anyone. I just want her to be all mine. I want that baby to be mine. When Leda finally calmed down about everything, I called Ben. I told him briefly that her and Danny talked. But it was mainly to discuss our plans. We had lots more to talk about.
Danny's POV
I won't compete with Denis for the rest of my life. I can't. I knew how much she loved him. When you spoke about him her eyes lit up like she s got butterflies in her stomach after all this time. And I hated it. It was easier when he was mental - when he wasn't in the picture. When I could pretend like I was fueling the light behind her eyes, for just a second. Those seconds both made my day and ruined my life. I wanted a love like that. I wanted her to love me like that. I had never wanted anything more. I had been through addiction. I had been in love before. But I have never loved anyone like I loved Leda. But she didn't ever love me, so it didn't matter.
Sorry this is a short chapter. Rip. Next chapter is the second last. I have an ending to "blow your heads off like a sniper shot" ;)
