from where we left off, our danielle was kissed by chase, the boy-next doorish guy type.

~

danielle's eyes widened, as chase's lips were planted on hers'. she was shocked of his doing, and what the hell, she had a boyfriend!

he exchanged sides with her, now he's the one leaning on the door.

danielle tried to reach the knob, and when she got a hold of it, she twisted it open, and soon, the both of them were on the floor.

she was actually glad that she was on top, she wouldn't like it if she was on the floor, and chase was on top of her.

the whole group of people playing became silent, that you could hear a pin drop.

gerard saw the whole thing, and god, he was furious. he clenched his fists, and he went to where the both were.

he grabbed danielle from chase, and both went down to leave.

danielle stood from where she was, and tried to stop gerard.

"gerard, wait!"
she shouted.

"what the fuck did he do to you, danielle?"
he shouted back.

"he-he-"
she tried to say but was cut by gerard.

gerard was getting impatient, he was goddamn jealous and furious of what chase did. what the actual fuck?! she was his girlfriend for christ's sake.

"HE WHAT? ANSWER ME!"
he tried to say calmly, but his voice was still loud.

"he kissed me! he goddamn kissed me! i don't know why, but he just went for it!"
she said in all one breath.

"AND WHAT? DID YOU KISS HIM BACK?"
he still was angry at her.

"i fucking tried to get him off, but i don't know, we fell on the floor!"
she didn't notice the tears that were threatening to fall, but she released it.

"i hate it when these kinds of situations happen. i hate it when my damn anger, turns into tears."
she was already hugging herself, as if she was cold and lonely.

when gerard went nearer to her, he saw the sadness in her eyes, and he knew that she was telling the truth.

"i'm sorry, babe. i just let it all off when i saw you two on the floor."
he was now calm. he wrapped his arms around her, and she felt comfortable now. she stopped crying, and smiled. she knew she was safe.

back to school day came, january the sixth. everybody was scrambling around, going to their friends, and catching up with them.

danielle and gerard came together, and soon separated.

when danielle got to her locker, it was suddenly slammed shut, as she saw who did it.

"hey, danielle."

chase.

"oh, hey."
