It's great to see that you like it. So it makes me fun to write
Next part:
The next day, Danny lay in his bed until late afternoon. He just got up to make some coffee and eat something. He didn’t care what Mac might possible say because of his absence. Lindsay had hurt him so deeply the evening before that Danny just wanted to be alone.
His phone had rang four times, twice Mac, once Stella and Lindsay, but Danny wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone. At 5pm he stepped into the shower where he stayed about 45 minutes. Then he left his apartment in order to buy some food. At 7pm he was again sleeping.
The following day wasn’t different. He got up late, took a shower and ate something.
In the afternoon, his doorbell rang, but Danny didn’t want to open.
“Danny, I know you’re there.” Danny could make out Stella’s voice.
“Come on. Let me in. Lindsay had told me everything” Stella tried again.
Danny moved towards the door slowly and let Stella in.
“You look horrible, Danny.” Danny knew she was right. He didn’t have a shave since two days and his hair needed a brush.
“I didn’t suppose to get a visit.” Danny answered sarcastically.
“Mac is really furious. You had not been at work for two day and you didn’t even call.”
“I don’t care.”
“Come on! Don’t let yourself go like this.”
“I don’t care about this anymore. I just want to be alone.”
“Talk to me. Talk about your feelings. It will be better afterwards, you’ll see.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Don’t suffocate in self-pity, Danny. I know she hurt you, but that’s no reason to behave like this.”
“You don’t know how I’m feeling. It was like a punch into the stomach as she left.”
“You’re right, I don’t know how you’re feeling. Tell me about this, so I can try to understand your situation and may help you with this.” Stella said warmly.
“I don’t know whether I’m strong enough. It really hurts.” Danny admitted.
“You don’t have to, Danny. I’m there for you.”
“I don’t know why you do this for me. You’re not even totally recovered from your flu.”
“It’s okay. You need someone so I’m here.”
“You’re the best, Stella. Really.”
So Danny told here everything what had happened the evening two days ago. At first he tried to hold back his tears but then he just let them roll down his cheeks.
Stella listened to him and held his hands. She was shocked of Lindsay’s reaction and embraced Danny to let him know that she is there for him. Later the two of them just stood there holding each other.
