Danny

"Mariah, can you come and get your phone it keeps ringing; it's getting annoying," I yell from the kitchen to her bedroom upstairs. "Who keeps calling you anyway? There was nothing but silence. I figured she was getting ready and didn't hear me. Just as I was about to get comfortable on the couch and relax, Mariah's phone rang again. Are you fucking kidding me? it's too early for this shit. I just got off of work and can't even enjoy the start of my off day. Just as I was getting up from the couch the ringing stopped, and relief went through my body. I need some air; I need to get out of here before that damn phone rings again. I went to the kitchen and grabbed my keys and my phone from the table. I made my way to the front door and opened it. My eyes just then were fixated on a fine-ass woman wearing a uniform that fit her body perfectly. You could see her curves from all over. Her hair was in a messy ponytail but from where I was sitting it just made her even sexier. The more I looked at her the more familiar she looked. I know for a fact I've seen her before I just can't quite put my finger on where though.

She looked as if she was about to knock, she put her arm down and shyly folded her arms. I couldn't see the emblem on her uniform so I couldn't see where she worked but judging by her uniform, I could tell she was a paramedic. After a moment she finally said something. "Ummmm hi, I'm sorry I'm Malia, Malia Dawson. I'm a friend of Mariah's, I'm here to pick her up and take her to work." Her voice was sweet and calm. I couldn't help but smile she was adorable. I Can't believe that this is the first time I'm meeting her or so I believed. For some reason, it seemed like I knew her, and it started to bug me. Like a ton of bricks, it suddenly hit me, she was her. The girl from the other night, the girl I slept with after the club. I smiled thinking about the mind-blowing sex we had that night, after realizing what she said I was in shock. Wait did she say Mariah's friend? oh, fuck don't tell me I slept with one of my sister's friends. Fuck I broke one of my own rules, but why didn't she bring it up or say anything? unless she didn't remember, she was drunk that night. Who knows what she remembers? let's just hope it stays that way and she doesn't remember.

I introduced myself. "I'm Daniel, Daniel Severide but you can call me Danny" I smirked. Besides the night we slept together, it was something about her, I couldn't help but stare at. I knew it that night just like I know it now, there was something familiar and yet unknown about her. I knew all my sister's friends even as kids but for some reason, I can't remember her. Either she was lying or but why would she lie? Snapping me out of my daze, I felt a slow movement releasing from my grip. Oh, fuck we were still holding hands from our handshake. I wanted to apologize but she didn't seem to care, she didn't say anything about it, so I wasn't going to either. I saw her look at the time on her watch, I almost forgot why she was here for a moment. I knew it wasn't going to be long before she had to go. She was rambling and it was cute. I fought the urge not to smile or laugh at it. Soon after that's exactly what she did. It was a short conversation; it was over before it began. I closed the door shaking the whole conversation out of my head. My own thoughts and compliments and the discovery that the woman I slept with a few days ago happened to be my sister's best friend. ignoring my thoughts, I continued to call for my sister.

"Mariah.........Mariah" Still no response. I needed to find out more about her. She didn't respond at all, now that I think of it, I haven't really heard anything from her. I know I just got home about 45 minutes ago. At that moment worry started to fill my whole body as the thoughts that started to run over and over burst through my mind. I ran up the stairs and knocked on her bedroom door "Mariah, Mariah answer me."

Still no response, I immediately opened the door, my worries went away, and relief went through my body when I saw my little sister getting ready and dancing to the music with her Air Pods in. She was 27 years old and could protect herself but to me, she will always be my little baby sister. I walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. "Mariah" Just as I was about to move my hand away, I suddenly felt her hand around my wrist. I lost my footing and could no longer feel my feet touch the floor. I instantly felt pain all over my body as I lay on the cold floor of my sisters' bedroom. The cold floor helped the pain go away a little faster, but it still hurt. Instead of responding by her taking her headphones out and yelling "What I'm getting ready" she responded by flipping me. I couldn't help but laugh, I was proud " I taught her well."

When she saw it was me, she immediately ran over to me as I was getting off the floor. "Omg Danny, I'm so sorry let me get some ice." limping, making my way to her bed "No it's fine, the floor pretty much took care of that" I chuckled. After seeing if I was okay, she hit me "You dumbass, I thought you were an intruder or something, I could've seriously injured or killed you know." Not wanting to forget why I came up here. "I called you four times, why did you have the volume all the way up? and if you had your air pods in how come you couldn't hear your phone ringing? isn't it connected to your phone?" I was glad to know that if someone did try something not only would she be fine, but they'll be more scared of her than anything else. "Oh right, my social media notifications kept irritating me and I didn't have time to turn them all off individually, so I put my phone on do not disturb."

"Well, your phone has been blowing up since I got home and ........." quickly interrupting me "What time is it," she asked panicked. Looking at the time "6:10" I said watching as her face dropped. "Omg really, I need to hurry. Malia is going to Kill me. She will be so mad at me if I make her late." She started rushing, grabbing, and making sure she had everything. Next thing I knew she was running past me and heading outside the door. I didn't even get the chance to tell her that her friend wasn't mad at her and that she still had a little more time. Even worse I didn't get the chance to ask her about her either. I turned away, turning the lights off in her room while closing her door. Still realizing I still had her phone in my hand I raced down the stairs and out the door hoping they didn't leave yet. Luckily Mariah was just getting in the car. I stopped running. "Mariah" I yelled. Both Mariah and her friend looked back at me in confusion. I finally got to the car. Before she could ask me, what was going on I handed her phone to her, and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. Without saying anything I turned around walking back to the house "Have a good day at work" I yelled from behind. I figured I would ask Mariah about her later but for now, sleep is what I was looking forward to the most, all the chores could wait.

    Danny This was never supposed to have happened. When Mariah sent me that text, it was like something had taken over me. I knew I couldn’t avoid Dawson forever; I’d have to see her, talk to her eventually. Without even fully realizing it, my body acted on its own, not even giving my brain time to catch up before calling out to this woman from the club. It wasn’t until I saw Dawson trying to leave that I managed to gain back control. Fuck! I heard about this before, there are a lot of things that could factor into it, but there are only 2 I could think of momentarily that could make this happen. The first thing could be anxiety and or stress, if a person is extremely stressed out and worried it could take them to a state where they feel or sense that not only are you not in control of your body but your thoughts and emotions as well and I’ve been under so much stress lately especially due to recent events. The second would be what’s called depersonalization-derealization disorder, whic

    Malia “Lia,” I sighed as Mariah yelled my name from downstairs, “it’s time to take your medicine,” she continued. I yelled back “i already did I took them 20 minutes ago but thank you” she yelled back upstairs “okay your welcome” it’s been 2 weeks since I was released from the hospital, 2 weeks since I had no choice but to stay with my bestfriend due to my injuries and 2 weeks of me almost going crazy. Don’t get me wrong, I love Mariah with all my heart, and I really appreciate her and all she’s done for me. The first couple of days when I came here were great, despite the situation, I was able to spend some long-overdue time with my best friend. It was a ladies night a sleepover every night we spend more time together than we had in a while due to our busy schedules but now it’s starting to feel smothering, it was as if Mariah had forgotten that I was still able to take care of myself she treated me like I was a child with a fever and it was beginning to be to much. It seemed like a

    Malia……It’s been 2 weeks since I’ve been in the hospital recovering and I was ready to get out of here technically I was able to get discharged last week but they had me stay on additional week to keep me under observation so they could monitor my progress a little more even though I had already informed them that I was fine. The lacerations on my face had healed a week ago, and the bullet that grazed me in the stomach was just a scar now. I was still feeling pain in my shoulder, of course, but the only thing that was preventing me from doing anything was the surgery. My surgical wounds would take some time to heal. Within the past few weeks, I’ve been visited by Mariah, Grandon, and my co-workers, who’ve become my firehouse family. Everyone was so worried, even the chief, who was as tough as a rock. Unfortunately, not all of them had visited me. The only ones I hadn’t seen yet were Danny and June, both of whom I’d last seen was the day of the incident. I know Danny stayed with me un

    Malia.. I could hear the voices of the people closest to me almost all of them, I heard Mariah who was not only threatening me to wake up but begging and pleading through her cries it broke my heart because all I wanted to do I get up and hug her and tell her she didn’t need to worry that I was okay and that she wasn’t getting rid of me that easily but for some reason I couldn’t my body wouldn’t listen to what my mind was telling it to do. I was surprised when I heard Danny’s words, but his words not only touched me, but I felt sad, hopeful, and happy at his words I wasn’t sure if it was real or not but I was hoping that it was that his words were true and he meant every word of it. I wanted to wake up now more than ever. Even with their words, I still wasn’t able to wake up; it was as if I were in a dark, endless void, and all I could do was listen. There was darkness, but then suddenly images of the people in my life filled the darkness with everything I had gone through up to this

    Danny….Just as the cops showed up, the chief briefed them on the events that had happened and what had led to them. In the middle of the briefing, all our attention turned to the hostage's house as the door opened. My mind was still filled with worry and anger, but now, I felt a hint of relief once I saw Dawson in the doorway. She had found a way to escape, but where was he? I asked myself as I stayed on alert, watching out for her. “Why was she just standing there? She should be moving, she should be running, why isn’t she moving? Is something wrong with her? Besides the obvious, of course. My eyes were glued onto her and only her, our eyes met she she gave me a warm smile, I’m guessing to let me know that she was alright, happy to be free, happy to see familiar faces and be safe, and that she managed to get away. When I saw her smile, that smile, I felt a bit of relief, but it quickly went away when I saw her look back with a worried expression on her face. Not long after, I saw a

    Danny…… I wasn't sure why but I had a bad feeling about the call Pearson and Dawson went on, I couldn't get rid of it. After they left chief abruptly ended the meeting and ordered me to follow him to his office, so I could talk to him about my suspicions. Once we got to his office and I closed the door behind me the first thing that was said out his mouth was “Something doesn't feel right about that call Severide, it's suspect. How is it that they were the only ones called in for a BHE but we were not called in for backup? Something is off” he said worriedly as he sat on the edge of his desk. “I couldn't agree with you more chief, I thought the same thing I thought that I was the only one. We need to call dispatch and get to the bottom of this, I don't like it” I agreed with Chief. Chief nodded his head in agreement before grabbing his radio” Dispatch this is Chief Hayden battalion 23 can you provide details of a call that just came in for ambulance 27, they were called in for a BHE
