DANIELS POV

It was 1 am. Zach had just told me he found a video of Kat with a guy. I didn't know what was going on.
"Kat, you just told me a couple hours ago that you and your boyfriend broke up 6 months ago. This video is from a month ago."
I handed her my phone so she could watch the video. I saw a tear stream down her face. In the video you can clearly see Kat and a guy doing some "dancing"
"Dani". She said looking up at me, a tear or two streaming down her face. I knew she was about to say something, but then, she hugged me. I could tell that she was crying a little. I hugged her back.
"I promise, I wasn't lying to you, my ex did breakup with me 6 months ago. But, the same night that this video was taken, I had gotten a text from my ex."
She looked so sad. Was this really effecting her this much?
"I don't really remember exactly what the text said because I don't remember a lot from this night, but it was something about telling me to go to hell, and that he's found someone better. I decided to go to a friends party to forget about the text. I had gotten extremely drunk that night. And as you can assume, pretty much every drunk girl finds a boy to dance with."
She looked up at me. A sad expression planted on her face.
"The thing was, this video was taken by another girl who didn't like me. She showed all my friends. And I had lost at least 5 of my greatest friends that day."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, Kat seems like she would never drink. I wrapped my arms around her and squeezed her tight.
"You wanna know the worst part?" She asked. I looked down at her.
"Me and that kid I was dancing with went back to my house later that night."
"Did you have sex?" I asked her.
She nodded her head.
"I promise I'm not like this Dani. I really don't know what I was thinking that night." She looked up at me shaking her head. Then it hit me Why she was so sad about this. She didn't want to be like her mother, who was quite obviously a alcoholic.
"I don't mean to be mean by this Kat, but is the reason your sad because you got drunk and don't want to be like your mom?"
She nodded her head.

KATALINAS POV

There was something I hadn't told Dani that I knew I had to.
"Daniel. I used to drink. Like a lot. I always saw it as a way to escape everything in my life. I regret it so so much, but, it happened, and now I can't take that part of my life back."
Secret number 4 was now out.
Daniel hugged me. I don't know why he did because he looked like he was mad at me. After a few minutes of hugging me he laid down.  He allowed me to snuggle into his chest.  He wrapped one  arm around my waist and went to bed.  Me on the other hand, couldn't fall asleep.  I laid there trying to get the memories of that part of my life out of my head, But I couldn't.  All I could do is lay there and remember every last detail I could remember about my life.
