Out Of The Picture

(LIZA)

"W-what?" I stutter. No. No! He is making this really really difficult for me.

"I'm sorry I should just go." He says standing up and pulling his boots on. I'm still frozen in place and I can't think straight. Why? He loves me? But I have Dan. I love Dan. I'm marrying him for cry out loud!

"Hey, babe. You alright?" I hear after the front door slams. I turn to see Dan sitting up on his elbow. His hair is messy, but he's still amazingly gorgeous.

"Y-yeah I'm fine. Go back to sleep hun." I stutter, turning to go back into our room.

"No, come here. Something is wrong." I turn to him, and give him a reassuring smile.

"I'm just fine, Dan. We'll talk in the morning." Soon, he's by my side and hugging me. I try to fight back tears, not wanting him to know about any of this. The last thing I want is to ruin PJ's and Dan's friendship. They are really good mates and I would never want that.

I sniff and he pulls me in even closer.

"Come on," he whispers, pulling me down the hall and into our room. We both sit on the bed and I snuggle up close to him, playing with the ring on my hand.

"Dan, things are kinda... messed up." I mutter vaguely. He pulls me up so my head is tucked into his neck. He softly strokes my hair as a few tears fall down my face.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He coos. I shake my head no and he just holds me closer as I cry. I'm trying, for once, to have a completely happy relationship with Dan and PJ comes and fucks everything up.

"Okay, we don't yet. But we have to eventually. See, look at your left hand. Soon, that will be replaced with a different ring that will show that you are mine forever. And I will keep you safe and happy forever, okay? I never want to see you sad. I'm here for you." I lean back and look into his eyes. A smile is replaced through my tears and I wipe the droplets from my face and eyes.

"That was really cheesy, Dan," I begin, "But thank you." He leans in and gives me a small peck on the nose.

"Always." He says. He holds me in a tight hug but eventually leans back and looks me dead in the eyes.

"So, what's been getting at you." He says softly and I try to hold in my tears. He's strong for me so I have to be strong for him, for once.

"I don't want this to effect, or change, or do anything to your guys' relationship, okay?" I make him promise.

"Who? I can't promise anything if I don't know who or what they did. Wait, what did Phil do this time?" He says with his voice picking up speed, almost like he's panicking. I don't know if I can tell him now. I can't! He's going to go absolutely mental and I can't have that happen.

"No not Phi-" He cuts me off.

"Chris? Ah shit! He's terrible drunk. I bet he did something last night didn't he? Shit I should've stayed sober. I really shouldn't have been so drunk. This is all my fault-"

"Dan, shut up," I half shout to him, remembering that it's only 3 a.m and everyone is sleeping. He looks at me with rage still filling his face. It softens when he sees me slightly cowering. He's kind of scary like this.

"It wasn't Phil and it wasn't Chris. Okay, please don't get mad at him. If anyone you should be mad at, it's me." I sigh and look down at my hands. I don't know if I can do this. It could ruin our relationship and maybe even us getting married! Sam was right. I'm a serious piece of shit. Why did I get myself into this mess? I should've slapped him when he kissed me instead of having Sam take over. I wouldn't be crying, PJ would still be here and god knows where he is right now, Dan wouldn't be freaking out, and I would still have Sam as my best friend.

"Peej, he kinda.. uhhh.." I stutter. His face grows in anger and his fists are clenched to his sides. I stand up and start pacing. I think better when I'm moving. How do I word this?

"He kissed me." I spit out. Okay that's not how I wanted to word it. His face hardens even more and his jaw is clenched. He gets up and heads for the door. I run in front of him and block the door

"Dan, you aren't thinking clearly. You haven't heard the whole of the story, either. You can't make any rash decisions." I quake.

"Oh great! There is more?" He shouts with flames burning in his eyes.

"No.... there isn't.. but it's not like he was drunk and trying to get with me. He was just being friendly. I mean he pulled me away from Corey for crying out loud!" I half shout but still cower because he is kind of terrifying when he is angry.

"So 1. he wasn't drunk. 2. he kissed you anyway. 3. No one is that friendly to and engaged woman! 4. Corey?!?" Oh shit. I didn't tell him any of this, did I? Oops.

"Peej was, yes, staying sober because he wanted to make sure you three didn't get into trouble. Somehow we all ended up in the same club and Sam and I had just got there when we saw Carrie Fletcher about to go off with Corey, so I approached him so he didn't do to her when he did to me. She has Alex after all! Then, things got a little.. heated.. and PJ saw. He pulled Carrie, Sam, and I out and into the bathroom as I passed out. I woke up a bit later and he was sitting next to me. He just ended up kissing me. It's a bit hazy, though. But I know for a fact I didn't not kiss him back. Then, Sam stepped in and kind of threw him against the wall and slapped me....." I say and his face hardens and softens every once in a while.

"I really can't get over the fact that he kissed you when he was completely sober. He also pulled you away from a dangerous guy and that should've been me. I should've saved you! But you were knocked out when I was just a few feet away and I never did anything!" He paces. He really can't know what PJ said just a bit ago. That might completely push him over the edge. He is pacing and muttering to himself about everything. He's pissed, kind of still drunk, sad, disappointed in himself, and most likely a bit hungover.

"Dan this was all a huge mess. Let's just forget about it, yeah? We are getting married in a few weeks. You have nothing to be worried about, Dan. I love you and only you. Come on, lets go to bed. This will all blow over." I hope, I think. I really hope that was just a post-alcohol induced confession. He doesn't love me and the one beer he had must have made him a bit loopy. Okay, that's complete bullshit.

Dan and I head to bed and he pulls me close to him. He lets out a big sigh and pulls me even closer. This really messed him up. Why can't we just be happy again? Why can't it be simple?

"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I'm sorry I'm never there." He says with strain like he's trying not to cry. Please don't cry! I would cry too. I roll over and look into his eyes.

"You are always there when it counts, darling. I love you more than anything and that's why I'm marrying you. Nothing is going to hurt us now." I smirk and kiss him on the lips before turning back over.

(DAN)

I almost lost her. I could still lose her. I know Peej has liked her, but not enough to do that. I never really liked him that much anyway. He's always just been there when I would go to parties. Besides, Phil likes him. I'm not losing her again. Especially not to PJ. I need to show her that I'm better. I also need to get him out of the picture.

(PJ)

I just need to get him out of the picture.
