able to scare those relatives away.

Because of that, he was known to be a violent
person and scared off a lot of younger people.
Mark said that he was an exception.
I said that it was because he was thick-
skinned,
We drove home.
A person jumped out in front of the car and
Mark had to brake hard.
“Who is that idiot?”
Mark jumped out of the car.
I saw Danny’s sad eyes through the windshield.
“Ashley..”

Mark turned back to look at me.

I was annoyed and felt like the fun was ending.
I got out of the car, Danny tried to hug me.
Mark stopped him.
“Aren’t you Danny? Why didn’t you call first?
You could’ve waited inside.”
Danny stared at me “Ashley, I was scared that
you wouldn’t meet me.”
I didn’t understand.
“I don’t want to meet you, but you still came.”
“Now that you are here, then just get it over
with.”
Hearing that, tears fell out of his eyes.

“Ashley, you have never talked to me like this
before.”

I got colder as I heard him talk about the past.
“The past is the past, now is now.”
Danny looked lost.
He smiled gently.
“Ashley, I know, you are still angry.”
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hit you.
I’m just friends with Lily, I won’t see her again if
you don’t want me to.”
He took out a red box and kneeled down.
“Ashley, I have been sending you bracelets, so I
got the diamond ring that you always wanted.”
Г
“Ashley, let’s get married.”
Mark slapped the ring away.
“Danny, you dared hit my sister, I should beat
you up even more.
My sister is getting married soon, she is
marrying someone better than you, you should
stay away from my sister.”
Hearing that I was getting married, Danny
widened his eyes and looked at me.
“You are getting married? I don’t believe you,
you loved me, even when I didn’t make it
official, you never thought of leaving.”
“Ashley, don’t ruin your life out of anger, don’t
marry someone that you don’t love.”
I laughed and said “Danny, the person that I
<

don’t love the most is you.”
“Actually, I have never loved you since I found
out that I was a substitute and saw your room
filled with photos of Lily.”
Danny turned pale. “How did you know…”
I turned around.

“Ashley, don’t go, it’s not like that. I thought
that I couldn’t let go of Lily, but I realized that I
can’t let go of you.”
“You don’t know how I felt when I found out
that you moved out and sold the apartment. I
haven’t been able to eat or sleep. I was finally
able to get your brother’s number after asking
around.”
“Ashley, please give me one more chance,
please!”
