Danny

I’m at my breaking point; I have been ever since I saw Emily at the theatre. Seeing her was a huge setback, not only for me, but for Maddie and Jason too. I finally broke down and went to see Cliff the next day. I had been backing off with the phone calls because I could tell it was making him uncomfortable and that he wasn’t going to tell me anything about Emily anyway, but I needed to talk to him. Cliff told me he finally talked to Emily about us and that, in the process, he admitted that he has spoken to me nearly every day since she left. He said he did that because, not only did it feel wrong to keep it from her, but he wanted to let her know that I was a good man and that she needed to talk to me. It didn’t seem to affect her though. He said she has a reason for not speaking to me and that he didn’t disagree with it. For the love of God, I can’t think of any reason she would have given Cliff that he would agree with. In the end, he told me he was sorry, but he couldn’t continue to talk with me about her, not until we work things out. You’d think I would be used to losing people by now, but I’m not. It hurt to lose Cliff.

Now my only shot at finding an answer is Luke, but he’s keeping up the dumb act. That doesn’t stop me from trying though. “I’ve had enough of this shit,” I tell him as we work together on the engine of an old Impala. “Natalie’s you girlfriend and Noah’s your fucking roommate – you know shit you’re not telling me about.”

“Danny, you’re my bro. I’ve told you everything I know. Natalie won’t tell me a damn thing no matter how many times I ask her. Emily doesn’t want her too and she’s loyal to her friends. All I’m doing is pissing her off. If I even bring you or Emily up she gives me a look like she’s gonna rip my balls off. I love you, man, but I’m not losing my balls for you.

“We all know Noah’s trying to pick up the pieces so he can get a piece but as far as I can tell, he’s not getting anywhere with her. I barely see the kid anyway; I’m either at work or with Nat. He’s out every night doing who knows what. I swear to God, I know nothing. Come to Nat’s house tomorrow, I’m sure Emily will be there. Noah sure as hell isn’t going to miss out on an opportunity to be with her, you shouldn’t either.”

“Natalie would fucking kill me. You know your girl called me personally to tell me not to even think about showing up there?”

“Who cares what she says.”

I let out a disbelieving laugh. “Should I tell her you said that?” I ask, calling his bluff.
