House of Gold 2.0

Part 1

*Danny's POV*

I was waiting by my window. My best friend Drew was coming to live with me. It had been a couple of months since both our wives had died in a horrible accident. I was getting over it alright. I knew being sad wasn't what Laura would want from me. But Drew wasn't taking everything to well. He was becoming very depressed. I thought he might feel better if he came to live with me. 

Drew pulled into the driveway and then walked over and opened the door.

"Hey silly get it!"

I was happy to see that he actually came over, and that he didn't seem as upset as before. But then Drew hugged me.

"Thanks for inviting me over, I needed something to get my mind off of Amanda."

"I understand, I know she loved you. You have to be brave for her."

"Okay... i'll try."

"Anyway let's get you settled in."

I then take the bags Drew was holding and started walking towards my room to get his stuff put away.

"I'm sorry but this is a one bedroom house. You'll have to sleep with me, or you could sleep on the couch."

"Alright, so it'll be like a sleepover."

"Yeah, totally!" 

After Drew got settled in there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it."

"Wait, I'll go with you!"

We then both go over to the door. I opens the door to see...

"Jackie!"

"Oh hey Danny."

"What are you doing here Jackie?"

"Um... Danny, who is she?"

I almost forgot that Drew was there, and that he didn't know who Jackie was.

"Oh yeah sorry. I'm your neighbor Jackie, I live right next door. I'm really good friends with Danny and came over to see what was happening. I saw you come over with bags and thought Danny was moving out or something."

"Oh no Jackie, this is Drew my best friend. He came over to live with me. You see both our wives have been in a little accident, and-"

"No it's okay, it's probably a touchy subject for you two. You don't need to explain it all." 

"Alright Jackie."

"Well I guess I'll leave now, you can come over anytime if you need anything."

"Okay, bye Jackie."

I wave goodbye and Jackie leaves.

"Danny, why have you never told me about her?"

"Oh, sorry, I didn't think it was important."

"No it's okay, you don't need to worry about it. Besides, she was kinda cute though."

I don't know why but it kinda hurt on the inside. I mean Drew was my best friend, he could like who ever he wanted. The thought of having him live with me and date my neighbour was abit weird. But I still didn't understand why I felt so different hearing him say that. It was almost like a pain inside my chest.

But then Drew gave a small smile. And I felt okay again.
