Rain's POV

"You might know my name. But you know nothing about me. Very few people ask anything about me." Danny said, his tone totally serious.

He had been with me now for two hours, and we had spoken about alcohol, drugs and the partying. He enjoys his life, and I wasn't going to tell him any better. However, what caused him to say the words above was the way I asked him about his past. He had changed or avoided the conversation each time I had brought it up.

"Who am I going to tell?" I sighed, taking a sip of the whiskey that I had poured out for both of us.

"It's not that I don't want anyone knowing. It's just complicated." Danny stood up and put his arm out against the wall, leaning on it and using his hand to flick his hair across his face.

"We have as long as ever Danny. And there's plenty of drinks for the both of us tonight." I said, slightly flirty. He shrugged me off and sighed.

"To begin with, I'm not blood related to SJ. Her parents adopted me, as mine were totally absent. I was set up to be a failure, and I can't understand why everyone was so disappointed when I turned out that way." He picked up the entire bottle of whiskey and traded it for his tiny serving.

I tilted my head and wrapped my hand around the rim of my glass. "Failure? You're not!"I tried to reassure him, but it seemed to have failed.

"They sent me to a private boarding school." He swigged from the bottle. It was impressive. "And I came out with flying A's. But I'd had enough of it. So from there, I guess it went down hill." He lurched backwards, tucking his shirt in at the back into his tight jeans. "And all that time in a boarding school meant I had little bonding time with SJ. And she despised me."

"Why though?" I asked. I knew that they didn't like each other. I never understood the reason though.

"Her parents were always so focused on me, you know? They trusted me when they didn't trust her. And I was given the better education. I think that her parents had always wanted a son. They gave me so much, and I didn't deserve it all that much. In general, I can be a huge cock up." He finished it off by sliding down the wall to sit opposite me, glaring into me with his drunken eyes.

I stared at my feet. "So it's not your fault she hates you?"

"Yeah. Sorta." He smiled. "And her bloody parents, they gave me their house, and they fucked off to Spain." He disapprovingly laughed. "So what did I do? Drop out of college, wave SJ out of the place and throw parties. I'm never fucking sober, Rain." He blew out some air between his teeth.

I wanted to say something supportive to him. He was so incredibly good looking, witty and clever. It was a shame that somebody like him could end up so badly dried out.

He paused in some sort of moment of idea. "Wait. When did she move in with you?" He asked seriously.

I hesitated. "I guess four or five months ago."

He stood up. "That's when her parents gave me the house. That's when she left the place!" He seemed extremely frustrated.

I calmed him down. "I'm sorry. She just wanted to have Oli to take care of her. And that's what she got now, isn't it?" I started to realize that I wasn't in the best position either. "You know, you and I, we are very similar."

We spent the rest of the evening drinking and telling each other all the naughty things we had done as youths. We drunk so much that we ended up passing out on the living room floor together. Overall I loved him in my company, and I was glad he was asleep with me now. I finally felt some what comforted by his presence.

Notes

Do you guys think I should do a chapter from SJ or Danny's POV?
