Life in NY: Chapter 2 [part 3]

I pushed James out of my way and ran to Danny.
We wasnt there. I looked left then right, but I couldnt find him.

I walked down the street, feeling so.. what’s the word? Crappy. I know none of it was my fault. I had to explain that to Danny. James that effin idiot, just couldnt leave me alone. He broke up with me so why was he now apologizing, randomly. I called Angela, she had to be the first to know.
“Hey Gabe, done so soon?”
“Surprising isnt it? Well, so is James randomly talking to me at the cafe. And if that isnt surprising enough, he tried apologizing for breaking up with me. And no I’m not finished, when I tried to walk away he KISSED me. At the same moment, Danny walked in. Now I’m looking for Danny to apologize and he is nowhere in sight. So I’m screwed, and he’ll hate me forever.” While I was blurting my afternoon to Angela, I saw Danny in the distance sitting on a bench, elbows on his legs looking down.
“I’ll call you back” I ran to the bench.

“You can start apologizing anytime now.”
