The One With the Green Eyes

Chapter 9

Danny's P.O.V

        Matt hasn't talked to me since he found out that night. It's killing me inside. I don't know what to say or do when I see him and it's making me go insane. But I managed to sneak out tonight and meet up with Zack.

   "What the fuck did he say to you?" I asked

"He told me he needed time and he probably won;t talk to me or you for a while."

"Zack he is my brother, and he won't talk to me. My mom is starting to act questions andhe says everything is fine but hell it is zack!" I was fuming this was all Zack's fault why didn't he just tell Matt in the first place that's all he needed to do.

"I know he is and he is my best friend so how do you think I feel?'

"Well you should have fucking told him!" I blurted out

Zack was stunned. I never lashed out like that...ever.

"Zack I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that, I am just upset and I jsut want Matt to be the way he was and I'm sorry" I said choking up on my words trying to hold back tears.

"Dan..." He said looking down

"What?" I rubbed a tear away from my face.

        He walked closer to me. He snaked his hand into mine.

"We will figure this out. Matt is just upset because you're his sister and he is super protective of you, you gotta understand that. Yes I should have told him but I was scared because how are you supoose to tell your best friend that you've been in love with his sister sonce the day we met." Than a painc look shot into his eyes than he qucikly looked down at the pavement.

"You loved me ever since you meet me?" I asked.

He sheepishly looked up "y-yes...."trailing off

        I didn't know what to do. He loved me. I knew he said it before but at this moment I could actaully really feel it. So I grabbed his face and pulled it into mine. Our lips crashed into one anothers and it was perfect. All the worries in the world disappeared and I knew in that instant that I loved him exactly how he loved me.

        When we finally broke appart i whispered in his ear "I love you too"

After I snuck back into my room I was completely exhausted. It was almost 4 in the morning and I had to be up early for the band's reheasal. Matt always brings me always. I started to doze off into sleep when I heard my door crack open.

"Danny?" A hushed voice questioned.

        I rolled over and faked my sleepy voice.

"Yes?"

"Can we talk?"

        I opened my eyes to see Matt standing there. I shot up.

"Yeah Matt, come here sit down."

"Danny, I'm sorry I've been ignoring you the past few days...I just....I don't know I just never thought you and Zack would end up with each other. Honestly I never thought you would be okay to date anyone after Liam..." Matt paused.

        My mouth dropped. He promised me he would never bring Liam up ever agian. EVER>

"MATT! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU THINK THAT? PLUS WHY WOULD YOU BRING UP HIS NAME!" I lightly but harshly screamed at him.

"Danny I need to get osmething off my chest."

"What?!?"

"Ever since what Liam did to you  I vowed who ever would step foot in your life agian I would never ever let them hurt you like he did. And that's why I was so angry at finding out you were dating behind my back. I wanted to protect you and save you from what Liam did. I was so full of emotion and rage that I couldn't control my thinking. And I know no on eknows about Liam but please promise me this....tell Zack. or I will." With that he got up kissed my head and went to his room.

        I was stunned. I never would have thought that Matt was so protective of me. Plus I completely eraseded Liam from my mind that it never came across me that's why he was so angry. But I don't wanna go down memory lane...especially that one. But Zack should her it from me and not Matt...oh fuck. What am I going to do.

        I sat there until about 6 a.m debating and releaving my converstation with Matt. Thinking about every last word he said. Than it finally hit me. The guilt. The guilt of never letting Matt know about me and Zack. The guilt of not telling him about Liam. The guilt of letting Liam do what he did to me. It was hitting me so fast. Like waves in the ocean crashing down on me. Guilt. I slowly sat up and grabbed my phone. I texted Zack that we needed to meet.
