The Life of Hannah Wilkin

Chapter 17 - calm down mode

*DANNY'S POV*

*three days later*

I haven't eaten properly for days. I haven't slept at all. This thing with Han and Lewi is just tearing me apart. I haven't calmed down at all so I decided to go for a walk. I always like to walk around the lake in the park when I'm feeling unhappy or stressed out and right now I am super stressed so I thought it would calm me down.
'I'm going out guys.' I said to Charley and Jake as I closed the door.
I walked to the park as it was about a five minute walk. It was a cold day outside so I wore my coat and a scarf. It's December time and there's only about a week until Christmas so the street was lit up with lights and decorations. It gets dark quite quick doesn't it?
I arrived at the park and started walking around the lake. There were no ducks or swans or anything but that was probably because it was cold. I sat down on one of the benches and on the other side was a girl with blonde hair facing away from me on the phone.
'I don't know what to do about him. He hasn't returned any of my phone calls.'
I couldn't help but ease drop. The surroundings were so quiet she was the only one making a sound.
'But what if he doesn't come around? He said he never wants to see me again.'
Your problems can't be as bad as mine.
'Could you try talking to him?' There was a pause.
'Thanks a lot. I'll see you later mum.' She hung up the phone.
'Boyfriend problems huh?' I asked.
'Where you listening to my conversation?' She didn't turn around.
'I couldn't help it. You were the only one talking.' I replied.
She sighed, 'Well, if you must know. It's problems with my brother. I told him I was dating one of his best friends and now he hates me. He never wants to see me again.' She was crying now.
'Believe me. I'm going through the same thing.'
'You are?' She turned around to face the pond.
'Yep. My sister is dating one of my best friends. It's not like your sister has dated him before though.'
'What do you mean?' I still couldn't see her face.
'Four years ago, my sister and my best friend dated for a year and they didn't even tell me. I left for America and met him there. I had no clue they were dating. He joined our band and we've become so close.' I looked down at her arms and saw cuts. I knew what they were.
'Your in a band?'
'Well, yeah.'
'What band?'
'Rixton. Nobody knows who we are though apart from the people who watch our covers.'
'I know who you are. I loved your cover of My Love. It was amazing!'
I was shocked that she knew who we were, 'You do?' She nodded. 'Well, thankyou! How did you find out about us?'
'My brother. How did you get the name Rixton?'
I paused, 'My sister.'
There was a moment of silence before she spoke up.
'Danny your so stupid!' She said.
'Excuse me?!' She turned her head so I could see her face. Her blond curly hair was trailing down her back and she had freckles all over her face. Her blue eyes stood out from her pale face. She had red puffy eyes from crying. I knew who she was.
'Hi Dan.'
