Exit Wounds | The Script

Broken Arrow

*Willows POV*

The car pulls up outside the apartment and we jump out. Charlie grabs my hand as we walk up to the door.
"I'm nervous," she said and I forgot about how big a fan she is of The Script.
"Don't be silly, Glens nothing to be nervous off, he's such a softie," I say chuckling and in the even in dusky early morning, I can see that she's blushing.
"Come'on Char," I say firmly and pull her up to the front door.
I hope and pray that Dan won't be there. Please. Please. Please.
Knocking on the door, we wait on the front door step shivering. I pull my fleecy hoodie around me tighter and huddle up to Charlie as a chilly wind wraps itself around my legs.
"CC'mon Gglen," I chatter my teeth with impatience, its so coldd. I rub the sleep out of my eyes and try to wake myself up a bit by stretching out my arms.
The door finally opens and Glens standing there with some jogging bottoms on with no tshirt. I can sense Charlie blushing next to me as he looks at both of us with a grin.
"Mornin'" he just says rubbing his eyes sleepily.
"Mornin'? Glen it's flipping 5am? Why..? What..?" I trail off unsure of myself.
"Come in," he just says mysteriously and Charlie giggles, blushing furiously and hiding her face behind a curtain of hair.
"You must be Charlie," Glens coffee coloured eyes latch onto Charlie's and she nods her head, her eyes not leaving his face for a minute. Glen smiles at her and she returns the smile graciously before looking at her feet with shyness.
"Fancy some tea?" Glen asks as he walks sleepily into the kitchen with his hands in his pockets.
I roll my eyes. I swear these guys are tea addicts or something like that, but in spite of myself I find myself nodding eagerly.
"Yes please," Char confirms and Glen turns the kettle on.
"Right.. So.." Glen begins looking at me.
"So what?" I say impatiently.
"Promise me you won't freak out when we go into the other room to sit down?Promise me?" he looks at me worryingly.
"Um.. What? Why would I 'freak out'" I say nervously. Whats he on about?
"Just promise me.." Glen says and Charlie pours the boiling water into the mugs. Wait why is there four mugs? No.. no..
"Glen..." I say cautiously.
"Why are there four mugs? There's only three of us?!"
He shuffles his feet.
Just go into the other room Will, ill bring the tea through in a bit.
"Why?"
"Go'on Will," Charlie says and I find myself dragging my feet to the kitchen table next door.

Opening the door I find myself coming to sights with one familiar person. The person who I was dreading meeting...
It was Danny.
He looked terrible. Terrible to say the least. He was sitting at the table, gazing rigidly at the wall. It seemed like he was frozen, he hadn't noticed me standing there yet..
His hair was all stuck up and in random tufts. His eyes were bloodshot and had big grey circle under them. He was kneeling his head on his hands and his clothes were all crumpled. It looked like he slept in them. My heart melts but I refuse to let myself go. Breathe Willow breathe.
"Hey," I say softly, standing in the doorway.
He jumps, unaware that I was standing there. His head flips to where I am standing and when he sees it's me, his face pales.
"Wait... why are you here?" He asks, his eyes full of confusion.
"Glen called me over." I state and I go to the table and sit opposite him so his gaze is focused on me.
"Will I'm sorry, you have no idea what I've been going through these last few days without you, I couldn't cope." his voice breaks and he buries his head in his hands.
"Okay.. okay.." I just say quietly.
"I guess I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have walked out like that. It was stupid of me.." I say nervously waiting for what he was going to say.
"You're sorry?" he says.
"It's all my fault, I should have told you earlier." he carries on, his bloodshot eyes latched onto mine.
I look down at my hands and fiddle with a hairband around my wrist.
"Its.. its over now okay. You've already done it and we can't change it. Please don't keep saying sorry, please" I say my eyes beginning to pinch. I hate seeing him like this but I need to tell him something.
"Dan..?" I say holding his hand across the table.
"Yes..?" he says holding onto one of mine tightly.
"About us.. I love you.. and you know I do but.."
"But what?" he says with worry and panic is written all over his face.
"I love you but.. You know how hard this is for me. He was my brother," and Danny winces, I can feel, just by holding his hands, how tensed up he is.
"I just want to ask how you would feel about us... just staying friends? I love you.. But it's hard for me, I'm really sorry Dan. I love you,"
His chocolate brown eyes just look up at me and interlock with mine.
"I love you too," and he leans in to kiss me lightly on the lips. His lips are so soft.
"I understand though okay... Friends..." and he trails off uncertainly.
"Thankyou," I whisper, unsure of what to say and I pick myself up off the chair.
"Come on let's go and see where Glen and Charlie have got too.."
"Charlie?" I hear him say.
"Yeah, new friend."
"Before we go Will..." he says and I turn around to come to face with him holding out his arms. My heart just pounds in my chest. Do I? Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
I allow myself to lightly step into his arms and he lifts me up into the air hugging me tightly. A giggle escapes from my lips and he chuckles.
"I've missed that laugh of yours so fucking much," he says into my hair and goosebumps travel down my neck. This is torture.
I firmly pull away from him and sadly smile at him. He has to understand. He has too, or I can't do this. Please Dan, please understand.
I... I love you...
But I can't say it. I can't.
