Lonely Here (Rodrick Fanfiction)

••Do I Have To••

"DANIELLE" my mom yelled from the bottom of the stairs .
"WHAT?" I yelled back expecting it to be something stupid .
  "THE NEIGHBORS ARE COMING TO VISIT" she yelled immediately making me sit up realizing I would have to talk to people .
   "OKAY, I'LL BE DRESSED SOON" I yelled going to my closet looking at all of my black shirts and ripped jeans along with chokers and small purses .
I chose a Mcr shirt and black jeans and grabbed some gum for moral support .
     After I was dressed and situated I heard my mom say my name downstairs. I had known she was talking about me as I crept towards her voice .
   "She isn't like your average  teenager and I'm worried that she'll be all alone in life ."
That made me flinch as I realized my mom and dad were talking about me .
      But as soon as I heard the doorbell ring I sprinted up the stairs to my room closing the door and putting gum in my mouth to calm me .
      " You can do this." I said grasping the door handle and making my way to the conversation downstairs that had already started .  I noticed a Father, Mother, Baby, preteen, and in the corner of the room a boy in all black about my age .
     "Oh, this is our oldest Dan." my mother said, referring to the nickname she gave me when I was young .
  "Hello, Rodrick is about your age so you guys aren't that different ." The mother said as the oldest looked up to me smirking .
  "Danielle, show him your room" my mom said smiling .
I nodded to him and we went up the stairs .
"So, are you into music?" I asked him as we finished climbing the stairs
    " I mean yeah, I'm in a band "
he said sort of emotionless sitting on the side of my bed looking over my room .
    "That's cool, do you sing?" I said sitting next to him as he slightly scooted closer to me looking to me .
    "I'm the drummer, why are you so interested?" He said smirking again . Was he flirting with me ?
         "I don't know you just seemed like the band type, oh well I'll just stop talking then ." I said sarcastically getting up and sitting on my swivel chair slowly spinning . He just rolled his eyes and layed down on my bed .
       "Not to change the subject but I like you ," he said looking directly at the ceiling,"It's good to know that you have a girl that is pretty and has a good sense of humor ." He said looking to me . I began to blush and just nodded and spun my chair around one last time before finally sitting down next to him again .
     "You wanna go for a walk ." He said looking back to the ceiling, I could notice that his shirt was torn on the bottom probably purposely .
     "Sure" I said standing up with him as we went downstairs to our families talking again .
     "Going for a walk," I said to my mom before Rodrick grabbed his jacket and we left out the door greeted by the sunset.  
     "Do you have a boyfriend?" He asked me as we began walking down the road .
     "Nope," I said popping the p just to be fun .
     "Shocker, you seem great," he said looking to me, again with that smirk !
      "Lets just say that I wasn't the most normal kid at my school," I said remembering every day being bullied and made fun of because I didn't have friends . That's why we'd moved over here .
      "I'm surprised that you weren't swarmed by all the guys ," he said . He couldn't be flirting with me, I was the laughing stock and now I'm a queen that only the best men can have !
     "Who told you to say that ?" I said looking to the ground thinking about how hard my parents tried to make me think I was at a perfectly fine weight and that I was gorgeous .
       "What, no one ." He said obviously shocked by my reply .
   "My parents put you up to this, didn't they ." I said as tears began to form in my eyes .
     "Listen, I have no clue about what you're talking about but your parents never talked to me ." He said getting in front of me and brushing my hair from my face  .
  "Sorry, I can't really trust people that much." I said wiping the tears from my eyes as he grabbed my hand and began looking around. 
     "Hey Danielle, do you know where we are ?" He said making me look around at the familiar street that haunted my dreams . My old Street .
