"Why didn't you tell me before?! I could've helped you! Do you not trust me?" Danny asked, pounding his fists against the kitchen table."No Danny-" I got cut off from my voice cracking, while I was crying."I did trust you, but I just didn't wanna tell anyone, because I knew they would react like.. this." I told him."Well , why wouldn't I be mad if my best friend has been cutting her skin apart for 4 years?" He asked tearing up. He walked over to me, and rolled up my sleeves, I looked away not wanting to see his reaction. "Is this it? Or is there more?" He asked. I pulled down my sweats with hesitation , since me and Danny have been friends for a long time, we are used to changing in front of each other, I showed him the scars all over my legs. He gasped in dissapointment . I really didn't want him to know. " oh my-" I cut him off. "That's not all." I said lifting up my shirt. I looked up at him, seeing a tear roll down his cheek."Why? Please help me to understand why?" He asked , looking in my eyes. I nodded my head, pulled up my sweats and walked to the living room. He trailed behind me and when I reached the couch , he slumped down next to me. He looked at me with such guilt in his eyes which made me feel much worse than I already was. It would probably be better if I died.
I felt a cold tear run down my cheek. "You know that I love you? And I don't want anything to happen to you, because you are my best friend." He said. I hugged him, and cried on his shoulder. His shoulder is the best to cry on. He wrapped his arms around me. "I love you Danny" I said."I love you too" he said. For the next few hours, we both fell asleep in each others arms.
I woke up next morning, at 5:00. Damnit , today's school. I woke up Danny ,"I don't wanna go.." He said moaning. "Come on Danny." I tugged on his shirt to get up."ughhh" he sayed, walking to the bathroom. I went in my room to change, I wore a black and white striped long sleeves shirt , with white jeans, and a brown belt, and brown uggs. I just let my hair flow naturally. I walked into the bathroom, and brushed my teeth next to Danny. "You look gorgouse" he said with his mouth full of toothpaste."thank you" I said smiling. I washed out my mouth , and washed my face, and added a little bit peach colored eye shadow. I brushed my long, thick brown hair. I didn't wanna go to school. Everyone's gonna make fun of me, again. Me and Danny walked out the door to our bus stop. A few moments later, we walked in the bus. Me and Danny took our seats in the way back. We sat down, and while I was walking down the isle all I hear is,'slut, whore, to ugly to be alive' . I repeated it, softly to Danny."Don't listen to them." He said. A few minuts later, we were in the hallways. "Follow me, your gonna meet my friends. " he told me. I followed him to the back of the school. After a few minuts, I saw about 4 or 5 guys sitting there , having a cigarette in each of their hands, and broken beer bottles all around them. "What up Danny!" A drunk looking guy, with short brown hair, and brown, red eyes said. Danny did his handshake with each of them, and greeted them, while I just stood their."Danny, who's your girlfriend?" One of them asked. "She's not my girlfriend." He said."Oh , I can see why, like anyone wouldn't even date her" he said. Everyone laughed but me and Danny. I bit my lip holding in the tears. I looked at Danny. He just stood there looking down. "So betty-" I cut him off."That's not my name." "Whoops I mean ugly Betty." They all laughed once again . I looked at Danny. He was smiling a little. They all were laughing, and looking really wasted. The guy finished his sentence,"How many guys have you fucked, Betty?" He asked."I'm still a virgin." I said. "Shocking. I heard you slept with random guys all around the school." He said. "What? That's not true" I said."I doubt that" he said. They all laughed. They're all fucktards. I turned around and ran to the bathroom, hearing people whisper about me as I was walking through the hallways. I hear a voice behind me, yelling my name, I knew it was Danny,"What do you want?" I yelled at his face."I'm sorry" he said, trying to hug me. I pushed his chest away from me, and walked in the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, tears streaming down my face. I fell to the floor, bawling. Why can't i be prettier? I asked myself. I took my pills out, and took one. Then another. Then another, and so on until they were all gone. I got dizzy and blacked out.
"RESPONSE! RESPONSE?" I heard, I opened my eyes. What's going on? I screamed, crying. "WE GOT A HEART BEAT" one of the doctors yelled . I blacked out again.
I woke up, and looked around. I saw a boy sitting beside me, holding my hand and praying. I tried to speak, but I couldn't. I pulled my hand away from him, and felt confused. He looked up at me,"y/n! Your awake!" He yelled, and threw his arms around me. What? Who's he? "y/n, remember me!? I'm Danny! Your best friend!" He said smiling. I nodded my head , no. He frowned. "What?" He whispered. His eyes widened. "No! Y/n! You have to remember me! Come on! Please!" He said, shaking my shoulders. I tried so hard , trying to remember him. He looked familiar. He called a nurse to come in. "What's wrong with her! Why can't she remember me?" He yelled at her. "Sir, you need to relax, we will do everything we -" she got cut of." BULLSHIT! " he yelled in her face. I gasped, he turned around, and walked towards me. I put my hand on his cheek , giving him an eye to calm down. Even though I don't remember him, he will always be in my heart. "You can't speak either?!" He asked. I nodded my head, no. I dropped my hand from his cheek. And frowned."What happened" I mouthed. " me and you were at school, talking to my friends, they were Insulting you, you couldn't take it anymore, so you ran to the bathroom. And I was waiting for you to come out, I waited, and waited, then I yelled your name, but you don't reply. I was scared, so I walked in, and you were lying on the ground, with an empty bottle of pills in one hand. I called 911, and you were in coma for 4 weeks. I was scared shitless" he said , tearing up. I frowned at him."You don't remember me? At all?" He asked. I nodded my head, frowning.
1 week past . And I was finally getting out of the hospital. I remembered my mom and dad, thank god. I still don't remember this Danny Boy. I lie down on my bed, trying to remember. I played around with my fingers , till I spotted a bracelet , tied on my wrist. I was confused. How long was that there? Ah, who cares. Probably a gift from mom or something. Moment after lying on my bed, thinking, i drifted off to sleep.
I woke up in the field, bright, green grassy field. I stood up, and looked down. I was wearing the same clothes I was wearing my hospital gown. I looked around."y/n!" I heard a boy say. I figured It was Danny. I turned around, and he was running to me. He was wearing a gray v neck shirt with white stripes, and black jeans with navy blue vans. He ran over to me, "hey!" He said breathless , smiling."Hey, what's up?" I asked. "I have something to give you ." He said, smiling. "Hold out your arm and close your eyes." He informed me. I closed my eyes and waited ."open" he said. I opened my eyes, and saw this , bright blue , yarn string, circled by a red yarn. It was amazing."oh my gosh thank you Danny!" I said. I jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly. I looked at the bracelet. It looks really familiar. Like I've seen it somewhere.
I woke up, and looked at the time. 6:30 Pm. Wow , I had a really wierd dream. I heard my mom call me down for dinner. I flung my legs off the bed, and went downstairs. "Hi sweetheart, how are you feeling?" My mom asked, as she was preparing Dinner. "Good" I replied . I looked at the Dinner table, and Danny was here."Oh hey Danny." I said. Whoops, I didn't notice him. "Hey" he said smiling at me. Then I remembered the dream I had. He was wearing the exact same thing he's wearing now."Uhm, Danny, can I talk to you privately?" I asked."Yeah sure" he replied. He got up and followed me to my room. We entered and sat on the bed. "Okay, so I took a nap a few hours ago, then I had a dream.." I said. "About what?" He asked. I bit my lip."I was on a field, a grassy field. Then, you came running to me. You told me to hold out my arm, I did, and you gave me a bracelet . It was bright blue , yarn string, circled by a red yarn-" I got cut off."Woah , woah , woah. Look at your arm." He said. I looked at my arm, and saw the same bracelet in my dreams. Then suddenly. I remember him. I remember everything."Danny, your favorite color is bright green.." I said . He looked at me, and his eyes widened."Did you-" I cut him off"Yes" I said. He jumped on me, and started kissing my face all over, but forgot one place."I'm so happy you remembered me!" He said."You forgot to kiss one place." I said. He bit his lip, and leaned in and kissed my lips. I felt something. Something I never felt before. I feel safe, happy. I feel like we're the only ones in the world. He broke the kiss."I love you." He said."I love you too." I honestly replied.
