"Maddie?" Danny asks shaking my from my sleep. i open my eyes. "hmm?" i ask alittle annoyed. "do you hate me?" he asks. "Danny why would i hate you?" i ask. "because im the reason you and Paul broke up." he says. "its my fault Danny, not yours." i say turning over. "bu-" he starts. "no, stop, its not your fault. jst go to sleep ok?" i ask. he sighs. i hear him walk down the hall and into his room. in less than a month i went from in new york with my boyfriend and best friend, to kissing someone else, to break up, to just plain depressed. my mom hadent called. Paul hadent talked to me in 3 days, Danny either. It was just Danny and i alone in this house.
the next morning i walk down stairs, Danny still asleep. i make some food and watch cartoons untill the doorbell rings. i open it. "Paul?" i ask alittle surprised. "hey." he says. "h-hi." i say. "can i come in?" he asks. i step aside silently letting him enter. "im sorry about what happened." he says. "dont be. i made the mistake." i say. "yeah, you did. but i believe in second chances." he says. "do i really deserve a second chance?" i ask. Paul laughs coming closer untill im backed agenst the wall. "hmmm, i dont know. do you?" he whispers. he presses his lips to mine. i kiss back without hesitating. "Paul, i dont want you to give me a second hance, if you just feel bad. if you hate me...you have every right." i say. "i dont, i dont hate you. i understand, your life took a turn, and your confused. now that you've made the mistakes, you wont make them again." Paul says. i nod. "im willing to try again if you will." he says. "okay." i say. he smiles. i hear a small noise from the stairs. Danny stands there. tears in his blue eyes.
