*sophia's POV*

Danny took my hand. I waved goodbye to Austin and Alexa and walked with him.

"What's up Danny?" I asked.

"I can't just hold my girlfriend's hand?" He said.

I looked at him. "The only time you do is when you did something bad."

He shrugged. "Well this time it's just for fun."

We walked for awhile, not saying anything. After awhile I cleared my throat.

"I'm sorry I've been such a bitch lately. I'm trying to quit drinking and its fucking with my mind."

He squeezed my hand and stopped walking. I turned to him.

"Why do you wanna quit drinking?" He asked.

"I make stupid decisions. I'm sick of being sick all the time and hungover to the point I sleep the day away. I'm blacking out all the time and wake up in random places. It's just not fun anymore." I said. I looked at him. He wasn't paying attention to me. "Not like your listening anyway." I mumbled.

He looked at me. "We should go out with Ben and James tonight." He smiled.

"Babe, I know you're not deaf." I said. I pulled my hand away and crossed my arms.

Danny pouted. "You're no fun when your sober."

I rolled my eyes.

Danny wrapped his arms around me. "C'mon, baby. One more night of partying."

"I promised I wouldn't drink for the next week." I said.

"Promises are made to be broken." He grinned.

I pushed him away. "Danny, stop."

He frowned and reached for me again. I pushed him. "I'm serious, Danny."

He took my hands. "I'm sorry, Soph. You wanna get sober, and I respect that." He kissed me.

I smiled and pulled away. "So you'll stay home with me tonight?"

Danny shook his head. "I'll stay with you tomorrow."

I frowned. "Okay."

He kissed me again. "Cheer up, love."

I tried smiling. "I just really wish we could spend the night together." I pouted.

He patted my hand. "Okay, baby. I'll stay with you tonight." He smiled.

*later that night*

*Sophia's POV*

Everyone had gone out. I was setting up the back room for my movie night with Danny. I layed out blankets and got into my pajamas. Shorts and my favorite Of Mice & Men shirt. I heard a knock and Danny walk in.

"Back here, baby." I called.

Danny came back and smiled at me. I could tell he had been drinking.

I patted the cushion next to me and smiled weakly up at him. "Come here, babe."

He kicked his boots off and crawled onto the couch. He layed his head in my lap and ran his finger along my gypsy tattoo. I sat back and stroked his hair. He reeked like whiskey and it killed me. I closed my eyes and fought the urge to drink.

"Sophie?" Danny mumbled.

"Hmm."

"I love you, baby." He said. He rolled onto his back to look up at me, his head still in my lap.

I looked down at him. "I love you, too."

"Remember the first time we said it?" Danny said.

I smiled. "Of course. It was our first night together."

Danny smiled. "Your hair was all bleached out then." He twirled the pink of my hair around his finger.

"You remember that?" I asked.

He nodded. "I remember everything about that night."

I looked at him and smiled.

"Don't look so surprised." He said.

"Tell me about that night." I said.

Danny kept playing with my hair. "We were at my house because you asked for a night in. You wanted me to cook for you."

I smiled. "You bought Chinese food."

He laughed. "You were wearing a low cut, knee length, cheetah print dress, black tights, and combat boots."

"You were wearing a white button up shirt, jeans, and your snake skin boots." I said.

He nodded. "We were eating dinner, and talking about movies. You took a sip of your wine and you looked up at me with those big carmel brown eyes." He smiled at me. "You said that you were so glad you ran into me the night we met."

I nodded and smiled. I caressed his cheek.

He continued, "You put your wine down and I reached over and took your hand. You blushed. Then I told you I loved you."

"And I said that I loved you too. And you stood up and kissed me. I kissed back and before I knew it your hands were all over me." I said. I put my hand on his chest and put his hands over mine.

"You're still as beautiful as you were the first day I met you." He said. "Hell, you're more beautiful."

I kissed him. "Danny, I have to ask you something."

"Anything." He said.

"Are you going to leave me when I get sober?"

He looked up at me. "Why do you ask that?"

"Because drinking is all we have in common. And I feel like when I get sober, you'll get bored of me."

Danny kissed my hand. "Don't worry about that stuff, Soph."

I kissed him and he pulled the blanket over him. He sat up and pulled one over my lap and layed back down.

I stroked his hair until he fell asleep. Once he was asleep I slipped away from him. I tiptoed to my bunk and pulled the bottle of Jack out from under my pillow. I stared at it. Then I pulled the top off and took a long swig.
