Hooked-why don't we

28

*Daniel's POV*

"Hey" she says as soon as I have opened the door, a small smile on her face.

"Hey" I say back as I pull her straight into a hug. She immediately hugs me back and sighs.

"God, I have needed this" She says as I rest my head on top of hers.

"Do you want to talk about it or do you want to cuddle, watch movies and eat candy in my room?" I ask and she laughs, looking up at me.

"The second option sounds way better" she says, with a smile. We then walk up to my room and immediately put on the TV trying to chose what to watch. After between five and ten minutes we decide to watch 'bad moms'.

*Lexi's POV*

I rest my head on his chest, while we watch the movie and he immediately wraps his arms around my waist and I can't help but smile. I know that this must sound weird but this just feels so right. It feels so right to be laying here, in Daniel's arms. I feel like when I am with him I don't have to be someone that I am not. I haven't even known him for that long but I trust him more than people that I have known my whole life.

"Are you sure that you are okay?" He asks and he pauses the movie and looks down at me.

"I-" I say before a tear rolls down my face. What the hell is wrong with me? I don't even care about what Jake said to me. I don't care what Jake did to me. Because that was so long ago and I got over it so long ago.

I don't know why this is affecting me so much. 

Daniel doesn't say anything, he just gently pulls me up, so that I am laying on top of him and he just  wraps his arms around me; I find myself crying into his chest and he keeps one arm wrapped around me but with the other he gently strokes my hair, calming me slightly.

"Whatever it is you can talk to me, I don't care if it is the biggest problem in the world or if it is the smallest, I don't care, whatever it is I will be here to help you through it." He says after about five minutes.

"Thank you" I say, with a small smile as he smiles back at me. "I don't even know what is upsetting me so much. I mean, earlier today, I saw Jake, my ex and it just reminded me of everything that happened. It reminded me how the only reason that he ever dated me was because he got dared to." I sigh and look down. "I guess the only reason that this is affecting me so much is because I am scared that the same thing. I am scared that the  reason that anyone ever talks to me or becomes friends with me is because they lost a bet or because they got dared to. I guess I am scared that the people that I am closest to and the people that I trust with my life will just leave me at the drop of a hat." More tears start rolling down my face I sigh again, still looking down, until Daniel puts a hand under my chin and tilts my head up so that I am looking at him.

"I promise you that no matter what happens, I will never leave you and I will never do anything to hurt you. I am so sorry for what happened to you and I want you to know that if you ever, ever need anything or even just to talk then just come around or call me." He says and I smile as he wipes the tears from my eyes.

God I love him...
