It's been a a month since that haunting memory flew into my mind and I can't shake it, I know Danny is gay and I respect that but I can't stop thinking about that memory. 

**Incoming text**

Danny: hey girl what are you doing tonight?
Elena: nothing ,why?
Danny: well want to stay the night? I'm stuck at home and I don't want to be alone.

My frantic heart began to beat faster, "calm down Elena it's Danny where talking to, keep it together!" I say to myself, I refocus and text Danny back.

Elena: sure, I'll be over soon.
Danny: cool ,see ya.

I threw my phone on the bed and began packing an over night bag.

That night**

" I think I love you" keeps echoing in my head and I can't seem to get it out, "Focus Elena! Remember who Danny is, Danny is your best friend who is gay and happens to be a drag queen! The parts you have are not right up his ally so you have to calm down".
I kept telling myself this in hopes to push that thought out of my head.
As I drove down Palm Tree Line Street I glanced at the famous Hollywood sign and it triggered another memory.

A year ago***

It was a weekday night and we where filming Adores music video for My Address is Hollywood and I was inside a friends apartment helping Adore get ready.
"Elena can you help me?" Calls out Adore.
I make my way towards the back room and find Adore applying her makeup, she catches me in the reflection of the mirror "can you help me put on this lash? It's behind a real bitch."
I walk up to her and grab the tweezers that held the lash and proceed to place the lash, "you're very pretty Elena" said Adore, a small chuckle escapes me "yeah right, your way prettier than me" I replied, Adore pushes my hand away from her eye to give me a "bitch please" kind of look and I just moved her hand and continued placing the lash.
"There you go, know you have big mermaid eyelashes" I announced. I watched as the bad ass Adore was fully formed and ready to film her music video.
"Thanks now lets get this video started" she said as she turn towards the door, "oh and by the way" said Adore while turning towards me " you are very beautiful just have to believe in yourself " my heart stopped for a second and I hand to let go of a breath I was holding onto "y-yeah" I sheepishly said. I walked after her and went to the Hollywood walk of fame.

I snapped out of the memory and felt worst than I did before "what is wrong with me?" I ask out loud, this what I'm feeling is not right of all people in the world I fall in love with a gay man, I'm such a cliche. I rub my face out of frustration and pulled into Danny's drive way. I sit in the drive way staring up at a big house and try to compose myself before walking up to the front door. After what felt like hours, which where just 2 minutes, I grab my bag and head to the door.

*DING DONG*

Silence...

*DING DONG*

More silence...

I pull out my phone to call him but I can hear foot steps approaching the door. My heart starts to beat fast, with every step he takes my heart beats faster and faster I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attach.
Breath Elena breath I take deep breaths and manage to calm down a bit before Danny open the door.  "Hey bitch!" He greats with a smile, I smile and walk into the house.
