Danny's Point of View

Missy came to visit. Well, she had an appointment for her wrist, but she wanted to visit too. I can't help myself from feeling angry. Angry that she got off almost Scott free, just a few bumps and bruises.

I kick the wall, and then bounce back and hold my foot. I sit back in my chair and reevaluate the situation.

I know I'm acting unreasonably, Missy didn't do anything wrong. She's probably traumatized from the experience, and my criticism won't help.

I sigh, and hold my head in my hands. I start to sob.

***

After a long fight, Father and Tony have dragged me home to shower. Right now, Tony is standing right outside the bathroom door as a 'guard.' Little creepy, but smart.

I try washing away the sadness, but I have faced the truth. Julie may never wake up. If only true love's kiss were a real thing, but life isn't a fairy tale.

Tears slip down my face, going unnoticed. Crying has become a part of my daily routine. When I feel like there are no tears left, I sit and feel hollow. Ten minutes later, another dam breaks and I continue to sob.

I let the water cascade down my back, enjoying the feeling of heat again. It's been a long time since I was last warm. Even if it is artificial.

In that hospital, all I feel is cold. Like a light that's been keeping me alive has suddenly burnt out, leaving me to die.

If only that metaphor weren't so relatable.

Author's Note:

Aghh! So excite. I'm sorry this chapter is so short, like all the others. 😁. But it was actually easy to write this chapter. All of the Danny's POV chapters aren't just from my imagination. This is a legit person I've turned into a character. I don't know their thoughts, or reactions. And no, I can't ask for help, this is a surprise in progress. So please don't judge me.

But I got shivers when I read this chapter. When I go back and read other chapters, I forget it's my story. And then I freak out, like 'Holy crap, this is good. I wrote this. I'm good!'

Anywho, shout out to @Marisolion for helping me with this chapter. I love you, boo! You're the best. Creative minds put together can dominate the world. Just kidding! Those plans aren't done yet.
