The Matthews House

Ok but... I still think I would need to see it sometime. Danny whispered rather silently. You see the thing is, I think, I think if you really love me that even if you turned into a werewolf I think you would be able to control your wolfish side enough so as not to hurt me. I am a warlock and you have seen me slip into the ground easily enough so I can escape you if you try mauling me. Danny whispered hugging Lizzie and slipping the quilt around both of them.

I understand that... and I do love you enough to show you... Lizzie said before inhaling a long breath of air. it just... she began before shaking her head to remove the hurtful and worrying thoughts. I’m worried I’d hurt you and I do believe that i would have enough control to protect you from my werewolf side ... but.... she trailed off wriggling slowly out of his embrace. i just worry whether..... she sighed loudly defeated by her thoughts, knowing there was a possibility she was not making much sense. I’m scared.... scared of myself. she muttered.

It doesn't matter. Danny muttered. The thing is to get used to yourself. Cos I'm sure as hell that Nikki is petrified of herself after blowing the fridge up. Danny chuckled. Plus everyone has a darker side and if you dont want to be scared of yourself I will help you overcome that I hope.

it does matter Dan.... Lizzie paused as she looked over at his warm complexion. it matters to me that I refuse to use my abilities for both good and for evil.... she felt a cover of anxiousness fall onto her as she began confiding in him again. I even refuse to show people what I can do. Even you! I refuse my boyfriend, who I trust not to comment on how disturbing and disgusting it is, to see me for who I really am. she mumbled softly as she worried that he would begin judging her for responding to him so irrationally. Inhaling a breath of air Lizzie attempted to calm her emotions. i can tell that you are slightly curious to know what I can do and I refuse to show you ... not only because I’m scared and worried about what will happen but because I regret the things I did the previous times I unleashed my inner self. Lizzie pushed the quilt from her body and shuffled off the bed. I want to show you and I understand you have reasons to want to see my ability, but I can’t do it. she sighed keeping her back to him as she stood before the bed. I hate being a werewolf.... I hate having powers.... I don’t want them. she moaned as tears shadowed her dark eyes. Crossing her arms across her chest she tried to comfort herself. it’s because of my powers my family life is ruined.... because of my ability he’s gone.... a small crystal tear dropped from her eye and fell down her face. I’m sorry. she mumbled, knowing she had reacted irrationally. Throwing her hand to her face she brushed the falling tears from her eyes before turning to face him again. I promise I’ll show you one day. Lizzie said flashing him a weak smile, feeling slightly mean for not agreeing to show her ability to him, especially knowing that he had performed most of his tricks to her. after I find confidents in being able to control myself. she told him as the guilt of over reacting surged through her veins. ... and after I get over the guilt of what I did.... she started to choke on her words as the memory flashed in her mind; haunting everything she said about her ability. I’ll show you. she whispered before turning abruptly on her heel. I’m really sorry Dan. she apologised before hastily leaving his room.

LizzleBizzle? Danny called regretting he had brought up the subject. He stood up and going off in search of Lizzie grabbing a pair of boxers off of the floor and tugeed them on after he went looking for Lizzie. He had to tell her it would be alright and that her family life was ruined, she had a new family now and whatever she did in life she would always have her brother even if only as a spirit in her heart.

Racing into the living room Lizzie collected her clothing and quickly pulled them on. Struggling to pull her t-shirt over her head in such a hurry she grumbled and launched it across the room. fuck. she cursed angrily as the forming tears covered her vision and made it difficult for her to see what she was doing. Crashing to the floor as the tears splashed off her cheeks and scattered around her like the cooling rain on a dark, autumn evening she sighed loudly. Leaning forwards, she extended her arm and scrambled to gather her remaining clothes together. As her heart continued to thump in her chest and as the crimson red liquid continued to gush through her veins she breathed erratically. Trying to catch her breath and calm her emotions once again she slowly pulled on her jeans. Rising to her feet she grabbed her belongings and decided that it would be best for both her and Danny if she left him alone.

Danny grabbed hold of Lizzies arm. Don't go, I'm sorry for mentioning it. Danny muttered looking at his feet. I can't let you go until you understand that you have a new family now and your brother, I'm sorry but he will alwyas live on in your heart and just dont forget that. Danny sighed as he let his grip loosen around Lizzie's wrist.

Don't be sorry.... Lizzie mumbled turning to him and resting her free hand on top of his. Gazing at him through tear stained eyes she forced a smile to reassure him that he hadn't hurt her. its not your fault... as much as i try, i never forget my stupid ability and the idiotic things I've done with it.... so even if you hadnt have mentioned it i would have still been subconsciously thinking about it. she grimaced and ground her teeth together as she became frustrated with her quick mood changes and irrational actions to everything other people did. i would have had to explain eventually why i never used my powers ... the teachers would start to question it... she sighed her hand dropping to her side. most probably. she whispered realising that this was still very possible. thanks for being so caring dan... she felt fresh tears burn at her eyes as she stood beside him. i love you. she said before brushing her lips against his. i'm so very sorry. she apologised sadly knowing that she had probably hurt him in someway. Removing herself from his grasp she turned to the door and proceeded down the hallway.

Danny looked after Lizzie as he felt a tear trickle down his face. He wanted to do something for Lizzie but he didn't know what and it was beginning to tear him apart. He collapsed onto the floor and felt a sob escape his lips.

Reaching out for the door handle Lizzie heard the muffled sound of Danny's sob. Turning around slowly she wiped the falling tears and focused on him; realising instantly the fact that she was the reason for his upset. Regretting having acted in a manner she viewed as very unreasonable she began wandering back towards Danny in order to comfort him. Falling down beside him she crossed her legs in front of her and stared at him for a few moments. again... she paused hating the fact that she had to continuously apologise for acting so stupid. I'm so so sorry. she apologised as she rested her hand onto his leg.

I'm sorry too. I don't know what to do. Danny muttered looking down at Lizzie wiping away his tears. He leaned down and pulled Lizzie up so she was sat on his lap. I'm sorry for being a big cry baby... I'm sorry for not knowing what to do. I'm sorry for stating about the baby thing earlier bluntly. I'm sorry. Danny whispered defetedly.

Lizzie wrapped her arms around his body and hugged him tightly. as i said theres no need for you to be sorry.... she whispered into his ear as she held him close to her. and you are certainly not a big cry baby. she commented as she pulled away from him slightly and stared into his blood shot eyes. if you are what does that make me. she giggled softly in attempt to lighten the mood. Removing one of her hands from around him she lifted her hand to his face and brushed away a stray tear as it sat below his eye. you dont need to know what to do... i know you want to help me and i love you for that ... but you dont need to know... i'll work it out eventually... i'll be ok. she showed him a crooked smile before resuming to her comforting hug. and i understand about the baby thing.... you're worried that you won't be able to handle helping Nikki and if i was pregnant... caring for me and our child too. she spoke softly as she rested her head against his chest and listened to the soothing beat of his thumping heart. you are so caring you know that? ... protecting your sister.... acting as a brother, a father and a mother to her. she glanced up at him and flashed him a smile, unsure whether mentioning his parents would upset him further.

Danny looked at her. I do need to say sorry as I'm failing you as a boyfriend if I don't know what to do. Danny sighed. Nikki needs looking after I know and I now know that I can't keep protecting her as Tom's there to do that now. I'm just at a loss at the moment. I would love to have a kid with you if we can just not now. Danny whispered trailing off towards the end of his sentence.

you're not failing at being my boyfriend at all. Lizzie told him as she rose into a sitting position again. because of you I've stopped having those haunting nightmares... because of you I feel as though a weights been lifted off my shoulders. she added more power onto the word 'you' to express how strongly he had assisted her. i had never told anyone how i felt about the incident and i had never mourned my little brother..... i bottled all my feelings away and told no one... she shivered slightly at his memory. until i met you. she told him. confiding in you, it made me feel refreshed and it helped me immensely. she rested her forefinger under his chin and tilted his slightly bowing head up towards her. thank you.... thank you for looking after me. I promise you have not failed as a boyfriend.

Danny pulled Lizzie into a hug. I'm not being helpful now though am I. Danny muttered. I love you so much, stay with me forever. I beg you I would say marry me cornily but that's way too early in the relationship... Danny whispered.
