Loving A Friend (A Daniel Radcliffe Love Story) Part 8
RECAP:As you brought your head down you looked over to Dan's backyard. Even though it was pretty far away, somehow you still saw ....... Do you remember?
Still you saw, just barely, ....your dad and Daniel's mom hugging? You didn't want to be the one to jump to conclusions but you were finding what you were seeing a little strange.
*Nothing is going on Deena! Stop thinking that way! Dad is faithful to Mom. No doubt. She probably just was thanking him or something.Yea!That's it.No big deal.* you thought although your body was walking on it's own getting closer to Dan's backyard. You wanted to know why they were hugging, that was all. It's not like you didn't trust your dad it was just that........well........you were just nosy like that. You stopped yourself in your tracks. *No. I shouldn't do this. I'm sure nothing is going on.* You turned back on your heels and walked back to the house.
You went back inside and heard the keys rattling at the door. *That must be mom.* you thought since you knew for a fact Peggy wouldn't ever leave the mall until the security guards kicked her out.
"Deena? I'm home hun.Where are you?" came your mom's voice. "I'm in the kitchen Mom." you called back while taking a gatorade out of the fridge. "Jesus, calm down."
You're mom walked in with Ricky by her side. Ricky took a seat on one of the counter chairs." Mommy,I'm hungry." he whined like he was some toddler, You cringed at the annoying tone.
"I'll make you something to eat," she said kissing his forehead causing you to roll your eyes," Hello dear."
"Hi mom." You kissed your mother on her cheek then took a long sip of gatorade.
"How was your day sweetheart?" Your mom asked tying an apron around her waist.
"Okay." you responded. You walked over to the counter and stood opposite of your brother. "Hey Ricky." you smiled, reaching over the counter to ruffle his hair a bit.
"Stop it! Mommy, Deena's bothering me!!" he screamed surprisingly high-pitched.
"Shhhh!Gosh!" you hushed him.
He began to fake cry.
"Deena, leave him alone." you mother said.
"But I didn't even do....ugh.... whatever. I'm in my room okay?" you said annoyed.You ran up the stairs and walked into your room. You took off your jackets, sweater, and shoes. You changed into this...
Turning the radio on, you crashed down onto your bed once again. You thought about everything that happened today. Like how happy you were when you found out that Daniel was back in England, and how much fun you had today with him, and like how you were still aggravated that his long-term relationship wasn't in tatters.
Then, suddenly, Ale's words rang through your head.. ' Sabatoge is a miraculous word'
*Maybe...I really should stop watching so much of "My Best Friends Wedding". I mean it's not like they are getting married anytime soon right?* you thought.
After a nonceremonious dinner you went to sleep thinking about whether you should take Ale's advice or not. You decided that you wait and see if it must come to that.
(without the glasses)
After slipping into your jogging sneakers and you headed downstairs. You went outside and out to your drive way.
You began to stretch a bit. It was when you leaned over to do a few toe touches that you saw Dan staring at you from his driveway. You turned red. You pulled up abruptly in shock, pulling a muscle in your leg in the process, causing you to fall backwards onto the cold pavement. "Ouch!" you moaned in pain.
As soon as the word ‘Ouch’ escaped your lips, a hand extended in front of you.You looked up and saw a smirking Dan standing in front of you. You couldn’t make sense of it in your mind, how fast he had gotten across his lawn and onto your drive way, but at the moment you didn’t really care to either. You took his hand for support and got back up to your feet.
"Are you okay?" he asked, a small chuckle in his voice.
"Yes." you growled with an attitude. But hey, he was laughing at you! He deserved it. You turned away from his smiling face and that’s when you felt a sharp pain in your leg.,"Ow,ow...ow..no." you moaned in pain.
"Do you want me to help you inside then?" he asked concerned, his smile fading from his face.
"Ow...no...I can make it." You said letting go of his hand. You attempted to limp back up your driveway."See I'm wa-OUCH!!" you screamed as you lost balance.You fell backwards again, colliding completely onto the cold pavement. Daniel ran to help you up. "On second thought do you think you can bring me to my room please?" you smiled somewhat embarassed as rose to your feet with his support.
"Yea. Sure." Dan smiled, that heart stopping smile. Suddenly your weak knees kicked in and you would’ve ate it, had it not been for Dan's chest this time to break your fall.
"Whoa. Deen are you sure you don’t need to go to the hospital?" he questioned, his voice dripping of sincerity and worry.
You blushed. That had nothing to do with your leg at all…. “No. I just really must've hurt my leg. It’s nothing serious."
"Let me take you inside then." he said as he put your arm around his shoulder. He walked you inside and helped you up the stairs and to your room.
"Thank you so much Dan." you groaned him, as you began to rub your thigh at an attempt to soothe the now throbbing pain.
Looking up you noticed that he didn't leave. Instead he was looking around your room with an amused expression. "You know, this the first time I've ever been in your room."
