"Are you re-" I begin to ask but when I look over Danielle is crying.
~~~~~
The only thing I can think of doing is to try and just make her feel better. I buckle my seat belt quickly and turn to face her and begin rubbing her back.
"It's okay." I say but she begins to sob more. "Dani." I haven't called her that yet but maybe it'll help her feel more comfortable with me. "Hey. Look at me." She finally lifts her head and turns to face me. Her tears still streaming down her face. "Dani, what's wrong?"
"It's... it's" she begins to sob more. "I'll never be good enough."
"What are you talking about? That's ridiculous." I say not entirely.sure what she's talking about.
"I'll... I'll" she sniffs. "I'll never be good enough for him. I'll never be pretty enough for him. Or fit enough for him. Or I won't be interesting enough for him." She sobs loudly. The music is unheard.
"Who? Liam?" She does nothing but nod her head. "Dani. Listen to me. You are you and that's the best thing you can ever be. You are beautiful and smart. Any guy would be lucky to date you and I'm not just saying that." "I haven't had a boyfriend in years. I broke up with my boyfriend so I could spend more time with Liam so maybe we could be something more than just friends then he met her."
"Liam met Sophia?"
"Yeah... I've loved him for 3 and a half years now."
"Look, I haven't known you for very long, but if Liam is too idiotic not to realise what he had right in front of him for that long, then it's his loss. You are an amazing girl and he's stupid for not noticing that."
"I just wish he would."
"Maybe there is someone else it there for you Dani. Have you ever thought of that?"
"I've always thought of me and Liam together."
"Try thinking outside of that box. Maybe try to forget him and meet new people."
"Yeah...maybe that's what I need to do." She says sniffling and wiping her tears. "That's what I'm going to do." She lifts her head up higher. "Thank you." She says while hugging me.
"Anytime." She lets go. "Are you feeling alright now?"
"I'm fine. Lets go get some food now." She says buckling up and I do the same. She pulls out of the driveway and we make our way out of the neighborhood. She pulls into a Krispy Kreme parking lot and we buckle our seat belts. I haven't had a Krispy Kreme donut since before my mother was diagnosed. We used to go every Friday before school. I miss her so much. I start to tear up.
"Hey um... do you mind if I stay in the car? I have to fix something." I say. I don't want to walk in about to cry.
"Yeah. Just lock the doors once you come out if you are."
"Thanks." She nods and smiles then closes the door and makes her way to the entrance. "Okay. Just don't think about mom too much. She's gone and there's nothing you can do. All you can do is forget." I say to myself. "I don't want to forget." I counter argue. "Then remember the good things." I nod my head and open the car door and lock it before shutting it. "You can do this." I straighten my body and walk in to meet Danielle.
"Everything okay?" She asks.
"Yeah."
"I wasn't sure which donut you wanted."
"Oh. I can order it myself." I reach into my pocket to grab money and I left it in my other pants at Danielle's house. "Maybe not."
"Its fine. I ordering two dozen anyway. Two for the each of us then the rest I'll bring to your house for your little sister and brother."
"Oh okay. I'll treat you sometime okay?"
"It's a donut." She says.
"I know but it'll make me feel better." She nods and I look at the various flavors. Oreo sounds really good... then I see the plain regular glazed donuts and I think of my mom. That's what we always got. That and she'd get hot chocolate because she didn't like coffee. I can't help but to smile a the memory of our donut days. "I'll just get two regular glazed ones please." She nods and writes it down on a sheet of paper. We order our dozen donuts and head back to the car and make our way to Starbucks. I've never been too fond of spending $4 on a cup of coffee but I don't want to bother her to go elsewhere.
"What do you want to drink?"
"Hot chocolate please." I say thinking about my mom.
"Okay. White, milk, or dark chocolate?"
"Um... milk?" I didn't know there were so many. She nods and tells the cashier along with the other 8 coffees and teas. We finally get our drinks and make it way back home. I grab the two boxes of donuts along with my hot chapter as Danielle grabs the two trays of drinks. We walk back to the door and she kicks the door as to knock. Perrier greets us at the door and grabs a drink tray from Danielle and we make our way to the kitchen. Harry is awake and standing near the counter and he walks towards me.
"Let me help." He says grabbing both boxes of donuts with one hand. I never realised how big of hands he had.
"Thank you."
"No problem love." He sets it on the counter and switches places both boxes beside each other and opens them. Louis grabs plates from the cabinets and sets them down.
"I got the usual for everyone." Danielle says instructing everyone. They all say their thanks in unison.
"It's a good thing you got extra donuts. Niall's coming over." Liam says. There's that name again. Where have I heard it?
"Since when?" Danielle asks. She doesn't look as upset talking to Liam.
"He text me this morning surprisingly considering its almost 11. He's bring Stephanie along as well."
"Fun." Danielle says. Her phone starts ringing. "Good morning Veronica! Oh... the poor little baby. Yeah she's right here." Danielle says then hands me the phone. "It's for you." I take the phone from her.
"Hello?"
"Hey Christina it's Veronica. I was going to call you but I never for your number. Are you going to stay with Danielle today?"
"I wasn't sure. Why?"
"I'm at the hospital right now with your father and Sophia. Your grandparents are at home sleeping still."
"The hospital? Why are you at the hospital? What happened?"
"Stephen cracked his head. He was running around with Sophia and he tripped and hit his head on the corner of the wall and he started to bleed. He is getting stitches soon hopefully."
"Poor thing. I hope he isn't too bad"
"It's not too bad maybe about an inch. If you want to stay with Danielle and the girls it's fine so you aren't stuck over here or at home with your grandmother." I can't help but to laugh.
"I can go to the hospital. I want to make sure he's okay."
"No you don't have to."
"I want to."
"If you insist. May I speak to Danielle please?"
"Yeah. Sure."
"Alright thank you. I'll see you soon."
"Hello. Yeah I can take her. I want to make sure the little munchkin is okay too. Yeah we can leave now. Okay see you soon. Bye." Danielle hangs up and she grabs her keys. "Ready?" I nod.
"Mind if I come along?" Harry asks. "I want to see Sophia."
"Yeah. Are you ready to go now?"
"Just let me grab my jacket and take a wee." As he does that I pack up our donuts and grab our drinks. We say our farewells and we make our way into the car. Harry sits in the back as I sit next to Danielle in the front and we make our way to the hospital.
