Rori’s PoV

“Baby, I don’t want to go out there if you’re not. Please be my lucky mascot! Or otherwise I’ll forget all my words!” He said in a silly voice. I giggle at him, smiling myself silly. He called me babe! Danny O’Donoghue just called me his babe!

A little tiny part of me is screaming to say no, to stay and keep the peace. I don’t want Amy to be mad at me again. She seemed heartbroken, I don’t blame her though, the things Danny said where really mean. I didn’t know he could be so mean, in my mind he’s flawless. But I guess what they say no one’s perfect. Not even the people we admire most. A little part of me is scared of him now, what if he lashes out on me? He wouldn’t do that to me though, would he? Now I’m really not sure anymore.

But there is a bigger stronger part of me can’t say no to him. I don’t why but after only knowing for something ridiculous like three or four hours I’m already following him like a puppy. Thinking about it I would’ve followed him like a puppy any way! That part doesn’t care about him not being the flawless hero image I have built up in the back of my mind. He’s still him and it’s him I like, everyone gets mad at times, don’t they? This part of me thinks, no it knows that Danny would never hurt me. Ever.

“Well if you put it that way...” I say slyly, unconsciously I lean forward till the tips of our noses have almost collided. My breath catches in my throat as I realise what I have done. This was wrong on so many levels! Yes he’s amazing and he’s my idea of the perfect man but I’ve just met him! Not to mention the fact I’m half his age! But I want this so badly...Oh God what do I do!

Luckily I was saved by a loud shout; “Come on Danny we’re on NOW!”

I don’t want to sound like I didn’t want to kiss him. Boy did I! It was just it would be my first kiss EVER and I want it to be special and with someone who loves me like no other. I know, I know silly fantasy’s of a love struck teenage girl and these things only happen in fairy tales. Yada, Yada, bla, bla, bla so on so forth. But can’t a girl dream? God knows that sometimes dreaming is all we can do...god I’m as deep as a well sometimes!

We pulled away from each other my face a picture of confusion, Danny’s of frustration. He took my hand and pulled me up of the soft sofa and towards the stage.

*******

‘You knocked me sideways,

When you said you were leaving,

It knocked me over when you cried,

And told the truth and it left me speechless,

The secrets you’ve been keeping,

You’re running now because someone’s chasing you...’

I’m back on my seat at the side of the stage, mouth wide open and tears running down my face. This is by far my favourite of song of all time. It means so much to me for more than one reason, it’s almost like it was written for me. I look out at Danny as he sings, he looks so awestruck and distant like his mouths is working on autopilot. I wonder what urged him to write this song, what he went through that made him this sad. I notice these things sometimes, it’s like walking around a park and finding a penny. I just suddenly notice something odd on the tarmac and reach for it. Rubbish metaphor I know but that’s the only way I can explain it. I don’t go walking around looking to find people’s feelings I just notice them.

“I shut my mouth if I was you, otherwise you’re gonna catch a fly.” Said a voice from behind me.

My jaw slams shut with a loud crunch of teeth as my teeth grind together. I turn round to see Amy looking at me with some strange look in her eyes. Is it pity I see lurking in the deep blue ocean that are her irises? But why would she pity me?

“Amazing isn’t he?” She ask me nodding her head towards Danny as she comes to crouch beside my chair.

“Emm..yeah.” I say unsure of myself and why she is asking such an odd question.

She throws her head back and laughs, her long auburn hair almost hitting me in the eye.

“Oh dear hon, you’re worse than me!” She snorts. What on earth could see mean? Worse than her? At what?

“Don’t act like you have no idea what I’m on about. You’re practically smitten!” Amy’s voice is filled with an emotion close to hatred. “He does that to everyone, you fall for him oh so bad and then he find the next best thing. But he doesn’t just drop you like any self respecting human being.” She gives one of those laughs that has no trace of humour or happiness. “Oh no he just keeps you hanging and leaves you there broken hearted and lonely. Get out while you can kid. I wish I could.”

The song is finished now and they’ve moved on to the next song. But I don’t hear them properly, it’s like I’m floating under water and it’s making its way inside me ear blocking the sound from coming through properly. A single tear drops off my face as I process Amy’s words. She’s making it up, it can’t be true. Danny wouldn’t hurt me like that.

“Think about it.” Was the last thing she said before standing up and walking away from me. I listen to the rest of the set in a daze. All my previous happiness and excitement has drained from my body leaving me like an empty miserable shell. He wouldn’t, he couldn’t. Oh but he could. And he more than probably could. Who was I kidding? He didn’t want to kiss me, he just pretended he did. He didn’t safe me because was charitable. He just wanted to look like a hero in the eyes of the public. He wasn’t really upset earlier, he was just pretending. It was just an act. Every nice thing he said or did for me was just made up. Why would someone like him like someone like me?

I was so blind! I’m always so blind! I trust people far too easily but now it’s time to stop. Now it’s time to forget all this nonsense and get on with my life. It’s strange how one afternoon can change so much but now I know how stupid I can be and I vow to myself not to trust anyone ever again.

“Rori? Rori, you ok?” I’m awoken from my thoughts by a voice. His voice. I gulp and attempt to ignore him, I refuse to talk to him. The horrible Irish player!

I kept a stiff upper lip in true British fashion, Queen Victoria would be proud! Although it is extremely hard to keep a straight face when the guy you were once infatuated with is kneeling in front of you and being all cutesy. Oh my God! Brain you are so stupid! He is not cute he is a disgust, horrible, vile scum!

“Rori, are you listening? Rori? Answer me. Are you alright?” He said, his Irish tones filled with concern.

“Do I look fucking alright to you?!” I snap at him, jumping to my feet and glaring at the man whore.

Danny had a similar expression on his face as the one Amy had when he insulted her. It was like I had punched him hard in the jaw. He stumbled back a bit, before walking slowly towards me with his hands up in surrender. But before he could reach me I reached out as if to hug him but at the last minute shoved him in the chest. Surprisingly he ended up airborne and flew backwards through the air. Who knew I was that strong? I obviously don’t know my own strength! Is that a bulge I see on my biceps? Oh yeah it is! Who knew? Focus Aurora! Whoops sorry...

Danny sat up from his sprawled position by the wall. Mark and Glen rushed to his aid and helped him to his feet. The three band mates shared the same wary look as they faced me. It was like they were trying to guess what I was going to do next. Well that makes four of us!

“I’m s-sorry...I just need to go home. I’ve caused you more than enough trouble tonight, I b-better be on my way...” My voice wasn’t my own anymore, it shakes and stutters and has lost its control. My breathing is becoming more and more irregular and I clutch my throat. I try to walk forward but my legs are weak.

What have I done? What’s wrong with me? Will he forgive me? Will I forgive him? What if something’s happened to dad while I was away? He can’t look after himself. Why am I so reckless?

I start to sway where I stand and can vaguely hear voices calling a name. Is it my name? I don’t know anymore. I feel my legs collapse under my body, like I’m a puppet who’s strings are cut. As the shadows slowly close in filing every part of my brain until all there is, is darkness and one final question. The question that will forever haunt my brain till the day I die.

Why?
