~Daniel's P.O.V.~
"Daniel?" Vexion said. I almost broke down to tears at the sound of her voice. "Y-You're... alive!" I said, a bit louder than usual.
"I-I thought I died."
"Well your arm tells some of the story. Ya' know, the story of how you could be dead?"
"Oh n-... please tell me-"
"Oh yes, and I need to know who made you do that again so I can break their neck."
"...I-It... was... a lot.. of.. people." she said as she frowned, looking away.
"Look at me, Vexion." I said, trying to make her talk about it. Honestly that wasn't the best idea..."Please?" I said, in a calmer tone, maybe that would get her to talk.
"Fine..." she said, knowing I wouldn't let up until she looked at me or at least talked. She looked barely over her shoulder, "What is it?" She said, I knew she was tired but I needed to know who keeps making her do this.
"Tell me who. I need to know." I really did need to know, but she was hesitant.
"Y-...You remember meeting my Aunt?"
"How could I forget? She was horrible." She was quiet for a second, and then I understood everything. "Was it-...Was it her?" She didn't say anything after that, except for a quiet "Yeah" before she started crying a bit.
"Vexion, pl-" I almost said. 'What are you doing?! Are you stupid or something?! Why would you tell her to not cry?! What's wrong with you?! You idiot! Let her cry! If she keeps it all inside, god knows what would happen to her.' I thought to Myself. "Vexi...?" I said quietly, almost a whisper.
"Y-Yeah?" She managed to say through sobs. I hugged her, not knowing if I was going to be able to say what I wanted- no, needed to say. I sighed,
"Remember how when we were little you said we'd always be friends? No matter what?" She replied with a quiet "Yeah," yet again.
I sighed again, "Well...I-..." I was almost able to finish my sentence...I kind of choked on the words, though. 'C'mon you dweeb, just three simple words. Say it already!' I thought to myself. "...I love you." I whispered. She sort of stopped crying.
"W-what?" She asked quietly, I swear I felt her stop breathing for a second.
"I-...I love you." I said, a little bit louder.
"You-...?"
