How Can I Not Love You Part 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Danny and Marlena walked through the halls of the hospital to C.J.'s room. It
was late at night and the silence in the hospital was deafening. When they
reached the room, Danny looked over to Marlena and she nodded. Slowly he
opened the door.
C.J. had her eyes closed as Danny made his was towards the bed. "C.J.?"
C.J. turned her head to look at him and opened her eyes. "Danny..." When she
spoke it made his heart ache to hear the strain in her voice. It sounded like she
was in so much pain.
Danny took her hand in his and she squeezed his hand. A lone tear rolled down
his cheek, and C.J. reached up and brushed it away with her thumb. "I was so
scared I was going to lose you," Danny said, his voice nearing it's breaking point.
"Danny, You'll never lose me. I know I've been hard on you, and I hurt you when
I said we couldn't see each other because of our work. But I was wrong. I was so
wrong, and I'm sorry. It hurt me so much when I saw you with Audrey. Danny, I
love you, I love you," C.J. said on the verge of tears.
As gently as he could Danny took her in to his arms and whispered in her ear, "I
love you, too. I always have, and always will."
