"I want a tattoo." Damian once said when we were only just mere friends.

"Heck nooooo don't you dare get one."

"Why not? What would you do if I did?"

"Ummm I don't know. Depends what it is."

He got up, dropping his phone and seconds later came back picking up his phone. A pen was between his fingers and I just scratched my head confused. Next thing I know it he took off his shirt and started to write the name 'Dani' across his chest.

What the fudge?????

I was internally going random letters and trying hard not to die. I tried so hard not to stare but my eyes went to his chest and my face went red when he wrote my name in pen across his chest.

"Best tattoo ever." He laughed.

Djxuydgsgehuhevekillmealready!!!!

"Oh wait I'm not done," He then added a plus and his name Dami. "Now it's complete."

Never would I have ever guessed my life to turn out the way it is now.

Ask me a few years back when I was only fourteen starting highschool and I would only nod and draw. My whole world involved just me and my drawings.

Art for me was my escape.

I would paint away my sadness and draw my feelings out.

Just like art, music was the same for me as well. The only instrument I knew to play was the keyboard. Even so bad, I would still play it and let it sooth my emotions.

Reading was also a huge deal for me. Books were my only friends at the time and  I would spend hours and everyday going to the library just to get books. It was my addiction and my getaway from reality.

I was such an introvert that speaking to humans made me mute for a few years.

Who would have guessed that same girl to ever speak again?

The day I finally spoke, people where amazed. I remember Owen was more than shock to hear my voice for the first time after so many years.

Heck since first grade.

Senior year was the year I finally decided to change.

I made enemies, felt heart broken, hated everyone, and was lonely. But I don't know at what point I decided to change all of that. Where did I left shy nerdy Danielle?

I would still be like that to this day if it wasn't for that bump in the hallway during my freshman year where I met Joe.

Even so Joe was one of my biggest mistakes, I wouldn't have met Rose and Kaitlynn who helped me defeat the evil Ana. I wouldn't have learned to defend myself and actually face my fears. Not to mention I wouldn't have experienced when it came to meeting new people.

Yes Joe was a mistake but that made me go through all of that bullshit just to be the real one who I am now.

And the new me couldn't be anymore prouder.

A few days ago I talked to Damian's mother on the phone. Heck I was dying in embarrassment due to my stuttering.

"Hey mom guess what?" Damian was speaking in the phone that day.

"What son?"

"Someone else is on the other line listening to our conversations."

"Oh who?"

"My wife."

"Wait what?????"

I covered my mouth trying hard not to laugh out loud.

"When did you get married son???? Who, what, where, when, why, how???" His mom was really trying to place all the pieces together.

"A few days ago. That's not all mom..."

"What is it?"

"You're about to be a grandmother again."

"Say what???!!! Oh sweet Jesus!"

Damian was laughing and just hearing him laugh made my heart flutter.

"My wife is on the other line want to talk to her?" He said.

"Yes of course."

"Love, it's your cue."

"Um er h-hiii." I finally spoked.

Of course this was all a prank and I played along for a while until she figured out we were lying and were only pranking. At the end she laughed it off and it was nice hearing Damian's mother. She sounded nice and sweet.

"So Dani how long have you been friends with my Dami?" She asked me after a while of conversation.

"Mommmm," Damian groaned. "She is my girlfriend."

I simply just smiled and laughed.

"Take care of my Dami."

"I will ma'am." I replied back.

"And you Dami take care of Dani. Both of you take care of each other."

After that day I talked to his mother I couldn't help but to enjoy my life. The people taking place in my life and for the future people who were about to take place in as well. Through out the past few months Damian became my world. It was the little things that he did or say that made me love him with each passing day.

He was sweet, caring, loving, kind, gentle, and over trustworthy.

"Love can I drink?"

"Um why are you asking my permission?" I laughed in confusion.

"Because I know that you hate it when I drink."

"You don't have to ask me permission though."

"But I have to though. I want you to know what I am doing so you don't get mad. If you tell me not to then so be it I won't drink."

The way he trusts me makes me trust him like no other.

He respected me and that mattered a lot to me considering how those other mother flowers behaved towards me.

Unlike Joe who complained about me, Damian was the guy to accept me even with my crazy bed hair.

Or like Emilio who left me just like that, Damian was the first thing I heard in the morning and the last thing I heard when going to bed.

And definitely unlike Juan who practically used me and cared more about his stupid ass game, Damian was mine and I was his.

Damian was my everything and I couldn't be anymore grateful for ever meeting him.

It all took just a simple reply to accept him into my heart.

And just thinking all the things he has done since day one has proven to me that good people do exist.

Just when I had no one and when I myself was a nobody, one by one important people have proven me over and over that not all are bad and maybe one day I can consider myself human.

Rose who backed me up since the beginning.

Kaitlynn who made me laugh when sad.

Alisha who been there for me since third grade.

Merlyn who defended me from the bullies back in eighth grade.

Jimmy who became my buddy right away at work with me being the newbie and the youngling.

Heck even my social wattpad buddies like Selina who made my days.

George who came out of nowhere and made me smile.

A girl named Kiera who became my homie just like that.

And Tara that became my awesome buddy ever since and makes me feel young again.

People who I never thought were going to be in my life.

And then there was Damian always there for me.

My present was beautiful unlike my past. Some parts of my past which I clearly have gotten over it but maybe not entirely.

Just recently I got Snapchat and next thing I know it Merlyn sends me a chat. It was a picture on Facebook of a guy.

Merlyn: Remember him? 😂

Me: uh....do I know him? He looks familiar.

Merlyn: GURL IT'S Emilio! 😱

Me: dkdjhevdndkdis and?????

Okay I admit I knew him right away when I first saw his profile picture. Thing is why was Merlyn showing me this?

Merlyn: Doesn't he look cuter now?

Me: uh...I guess?

I mean he looks the same to me since the last time I saw him before he left for good.

Merlyn: FRIEND HIM ON FB!

Me: why the heck would I do that for?????

I stared at his picture as I waited for Merlyn to type back. Definitely brought me memories of the good times I had with him until he broke it off with me because he had to move but never freaking left and instead friended with my freaking enemy!

I stared closely at the image and speaking of the devil I frowned.

*Ana Mata liked his photo* It said on the bottom of the photo.

Really.....

Merlyn: Dude when he sees your picture he will be like ooooo who dis hot mamacita and then realize its freaking you his ex! 😂😂😂😂

Me: yeaaaa how about no 😅

Merlyn: Do It!

Me: no.

Merlyn: come on why not?! It's in the past. Bet he won't remember plus it doesn't hurt anyways.

Just maybe my dignity...

We went on like this back and forth for a few hours until I finally gave in. Next thing I knew it I was in Facebook sending a friend request to Emilio and soon regretting and beating myself all thanks to Merlyn and her power of persuasion and a deal for me to tell her absolutely everything afterwards.

Took ten hours.

Ten hours until he accepted my friend request.

To be honest deep down I bet he is really mad at me.

And just to my "luck" I was proven wrong once again.

*Emilio just waved at you.*

"Oh lord...."
