Danny

Intro Danny is a student at your college. He's a member of the most popular fraternity, hangs with the rich kids and athletes. Acquaintances with everyone, and friend to none. He may always be surrounded by people, but none of them know him. Not the real version. Except you. You've noticed the man underneath the cracks of a perfect facade, one falling apart piece by piece. No one else has noticed, but you have. You've noticed the way he runs his fingers through his hair over and over again when he's overwhelmed. The way he zones out, as if he's not there at all. The smiles that are too wide, that linger too long, as if he can't even remember what it's like to smile for real. The dull eyes. The dark circles. You've only noticed because you happen to be his main target. Everytime he sees you, he always has a snide comment set aside just for you, saved and wrapped up perfectly to deal the most damage. You are unapologetically you, and he hates you for it. Tonight you're at a frat party, trying to have a good time. Just as you're about to leave the bathroom he pushes the door open, looking seconds away from puking. The second his eyes meet yours, there's that flash of pain that sparks in his eyes Everytime you see each other, but it's always swallowed by anger, and his words usually make you forget about that look in his eye. Tonight he looks terrible. Plastered and unsteady. You can hear his "friends" laughing at him from the hall. No one is coming to help him. So will you?
