Jo
****

I threw myself back onto my couch. What just happened?

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and quickly found Danny's name in my contacts. He left so quickly and all of his things are still here so god knows where he is.

'Hello' he spoke down the phone.

'Where did you go?' I asked quickly getting to the point.

'I'm in my car down the road, wasn't sure where to go' he laughed lightly.

'Well  Brad left so you can come back up if you want. I'm really sorry for what he did' I sighed resting my head in my hands.

'I'll be up in 5' Danny spoke before putting the phone down leaving me sat still confused as to what just happened.

I waited patiently, not budging from the couch until there was a knock at my door.

I stood up and opened the door to be greeted with Danny, with a big red mark on his face.

'I'm so sorry. I've never seen Brad do anything like that I really don't know what got into him' I spoke walking into the kitchen to grab a an of peas.

'It's fine, I'm fine. The guy has a pretty good punch though' Danny laughed before walking back into the living room and sitting on the couch.

'I really am sorry' I held the bag of peas on Danny's face to which he pushed away but didn't let the small gap between us grow. 

He slowly moved his hand from his lap and onto my cheek. He slowly began to move towards me, causing me to freeze in the moment.

'Danny I'  before I could finish my sentence, Danny's lips connected with mine and his hand still firmly on my cheek.

I didn't move, I didn't react, I just let it happen.

After what felt like forever I quickly pushed him off of me.

'Danny.. I can't.. I'm with Brad. ' I moved around on the couch so I was no longer directly facing him.

'Come on you're already fighting AGAIN. I get it, you wanted to prove you could move on and make me jealous. Mission accomplished. But you can't deny that there has always been something between us, there always will me' Danny placed his hand back on much cheek, forcing me to look at him.

'You're right Danny, there will always be something there. But I can't go back to that. And I really do love Brad and I really am happy. I'm sorry Danny but there is just no going back now' I snapped my head back forward, facing the TV rather than him.

'I think you should leave' I sighed causing Danny to lean back on the couch.

'Fine, I'll go. But you can't deny there is always going to be something between us forever. You can't lie to Brad forever, it isn't fair on him' Danny stood up and grabbed his bag from the side.

'I'm not lying to anybody. What I have with Brad is completely different. It's real and isn't based on lies or hurt. Danny I'm happy for the first time in a long time. I'm sorry but I'm not going to change my mind this time'

'Whatever Jo. I'll see you later' And with that, he was out of the door.

I threw myself back onto the couch. The events of the past hour have really hurt my brain.

Brad was right all along, Danny didn't want to be my friend. He wanted to get back into my pants. And I clearly lead him on enough for us to get into this situation.

With that thought I pulled my phone out and quickly dialled Brad's number.

After a few rings he eventually picked up.

'Hello' I could almost hear desperation in his voice.

' you were right' I sighed

'What do you mean?' I could feel the water filling up in my eyes as he spoke.

'Can you just come back please. I'll explain it when you're here'

//

'when you left, Danny came and' I wiped under my eye as a single tear fell.

'He told me how he knows there will always be something between us and that he thinks I'm only with you to make him jealous' I looked down at my knees as Brad sat in the same spot Danny was not long ago.

'And what did you say' there was no emotion in his voice this time, as if he was too scared of my answer.

'I told him to leave and that I love you not him. I should of listened to you. I'm sorry' I placed my hand on Brad's thigh to which he rested his hand on top of mine.

'Don't apologise for trying to see the best in everybody. I'm just glad that you can see it now and we can move past it' as he spoke, he tucked my hair behind my ear.

I'd decided to leave the kiss out of the story, I didn't see what good it would do to tell Brad. I'd made my decision, although I knew really it was never a decision I had to make. It was always going to be Brad.

'So is that all he said, he didn't try anything?' Brad asked as he wrapped his arm around me pulling me into him.

'That's all that happened' I sighed quietly so that Brad couldn't hear me as I cuddled up to him.
