Fix You - A The Script/Danny O'Donoghue Fanfic

Chapter 47

I sat down silently, waiting for the awkward conversation to begin.

“I’ll make drinks.” Shawn decided, not giving anyone a chance to answer before leaving me alone with them. Julie looked at me for a while.

“Why did you have your scars on show?” She asked, straight to it then.

“I don’t know exactly what you are trying to say, but Dan convinced me to give it a go. And I trust him.”

“Maybe a little too much.” She muttered. Stupid Dan, leaving me on my own, saying he would sort out anyone who had a problem and fucking leaving me.

“I don’t know what your issue is, whether it is my scars – in which case get over it, they aren’t going away. Or if it’s Dan and the same thing stands. I trust him with my life, because he has saved me. He has demonstrated that he should be trusted.”

“Amy, we won’t lie, we don’t think he is right for you.”

“You have made that painfully clear. Let me paint you a picture, a depressed drunk girl who wants to escape her painful memories finds herself remembering more. Desperate she smashes a mirror and you know what, I picked up a piece and I cut. And I cut deep. I watched the blood pour from my body and I was happy. I wanted to die. I wanted it to end. Danno was so worried about me, he broke the door down and came to find me. Even though I told him to piss off. And he found me pretty delirious on the floor, I was saying goodbye practically begging him to let me die. To let my life end. But he didn’t, he kept me alive. He saved my life. The poor man sat in clothes soaked with my blood for a night, he had blood on his face from where I had tried to say goodbye and convince him it was what I wanted and that it was better that way, he held my hand through the night and was there for me through it all.” They looked shocked, but their eyes were behind me. I turned slowly and saw Dan there, teary eyed and a little pale. “Fuck, come here.” He didn’t argue, just came in for a hug. We stood there for a while in each other’s arms.

“I thought I was going to lose you, I couldn’t stand it. And you wanted to die, I just couldn’t think.”

“Sh, don’t worry about it baby. We don’t need to talk about this, they needed to know.” I kissed his cheek and gave him a little smile. He nodded and fell onto the sofa, pulling me down with him, holding me on his lap. “Can you leave this relationship alone now?” Their silence was answer enough. “The scars aren’t all from me, the assholes that killed my family left their mark on me. A shit load of marks. The only person I let in, who I really trusted, was Dan and he told me to go for it. So I did.”

“Sorry. I can see you are happy and maybe Danny isn’t as bad as we thought.” Dave conceded.

“YAY!” I cheered turning to give Dan a big kiss, he seemed pretty bothered by reliving that stressful night.

“We are gunna head off, call us sometime.” Julie insisted as they walked out, I opened the door and waved them off. Before returning to Dan and collapsing on his lap.

“Thank god they’ve gone.” I sighed, getting as close as possible to Dan. He chuckled, his arm moving to wrap around me.
