"How was your date?" I ask (y/n) once we were both in our room.

"Oh, um." Her cheeks are red, and she has a big grin.
"I sorta got engaged."

"You what?!" My heart drops into my gut.
"You just say yes to the first man who proposes to you?! Who the hell even is that guy?!"

"Danny." She smiles.
"He was my first love. I thought he was dead." She explains, but I know exactly who she's talking about.

Losing Danny... that was the final straw for (y/n). Danny's disappearance, that what made her want to jump.

"Holy shit, wow, wow, I'm so happy for you." I say honestly, because I am. I am happy for her. I'm happy for her even though I feel like I'm being repeatedly stabbed.

I have to be happy for her. If I'm not happy for her, then I'm a hypocrite, even if it was her fault I forgot about her. She made me forget about her, and now I have Elaine.

"Thanks, I feel like I haven't completely processed all of it. I mean, one minute, he has no idea who I am. The next he's one one knee asking me to marry him." Her words are higher pitched and she talks a little faster.

"He didn't know who you were?"

"Yeah, you know, like how you don't actually know who I am. His memories of me were locked away." She smiles.

The stabbing pain gets worse. Danny has the ability to kill her?

"Why the hell did he get his memories back so fast?" I accidentally let some of my true emotion show in my voice, but she hardly even blinks.

"Probably because him and I knew each other longer. We were best friends and then in a relationship for thirteen years. More of his life didn't make sense without me there. You and I only knew each other for like four months." She explains.

"I see," I feel like I lost the right to feel jealous.

I can't claim to love her more than Danny does. He knows so much more about her. He's had the chance to be in a loving relationship with her.

Yes, I was able to get her to open up and share trauma with me, but he was probably there supporting her moments after it happened.

I am probably nothing to her compared to him. Even adding the time we were sins together doesn't give me half the time he's had with her, and back then I never once stopped thinking about Elaine long enough to want to get to know know her.

Damn it, I remember even being annoyed with her in the beginning, with how often she wanted to talk to me.
