“Well, it’s not exactly intentional-”

She was still Delilah; arguing with anyone and everyone even in situations where she was clearly in danger. Though could he blame her for it? No… if Dan was in a similar situation; he’d do the exact same thing. It was natural to be more like yourself even in the face of danger. Some would run cough DeLoughrey, Azure, and a list of other names, and some would walk into a burning building to save those in need. That’s what he was doing. Though his intention wasn’t Delilah; he wasn’t going to just leave the girl there. No matter how much she was practically yelling at his statement of say something which could you blame him? God.

As he reached the last two beams; both heavy enough to… well… kill someone under their weight; his mind was already working through an escape plan for Delilah. “That’s not helpful D, but we don’t really have much of a choice.” Daniel started; going to the other side of the hole that he had already cleared. He opened his phone light and pointed towards the side of the hole where he was standing. “I need you to get as close to the wall here as you possibly can. Hug the fcking wall. I don’t care. Just make sure that you’re skin is as close to that as you can get,” Dan stated; watching as she did as he requested… though it took her longer than it should have. “Close your eyes, Delilah,” Dan said; not because he was worried but because he didn’t want the dust to scratch her cornea. And with that; Daniel kicked the side of the beam; the instability of the whole thing making it fall to the opposite side of Delilah barely inches from her body.

With that; Dan ignored the dust smoke mixing with the smoke from the flames and got to his knees so that his hands could reach her. “Delilah, grab on, hold on tight,” Dan said watching as she grabbed both of his hands and using what strength he had to pull her on top of him… which led to the comment… “So we haven’t done this position in a while huh?” in a joking manner; a cough leaving his lips. "Jokes aside; come on. We need to leave before this whole place falls to the ground, Standing up; he grabbed her hand pulling the girl and weaving her past the fire to the exit. His only worry was his family which… at this point, he could only hope had made it out since the moment he got back out he found firefighters approaching both of them and pulling them in the direction of one of the many ambulances; despite Dan trying to fight back to go inside. Which resulted in a very… intriguing close space encounter with Delilah in the back of an ambulance with just the two of them breathing in oxygen from a mask. A talk that did result in him saying “I’m sorry” For the millionth time though… that’s a private conversation the likes of you RPers would never be a part of. After all; Dan couldn’t let you all see he had a good side. No sir.


Timeskip: June 25th


One week. That’s how long it had been since the fire and how long it was until they all sat in seats awaiting the chance to walk across that stage and receive a diploma. And thankfully… everyone Dan cared about was Daniel was… surprise surprise… Valedictorian. Though could you blame him; he may have skipped class more than once but Dan could take any make up test and make a perfect score without trying. And Daniel did love making that graduation speech; one filled with “THANK GOD I never have to see MOST oof you ever again.” Dan usually wouldn’t have cared about giving special mentions to people like DeLoughry and McAllister but Jessica had a talk with him before after finding his speech and told him to clean up his act so… sigh he did. It was still a pretty damn good speech.

And now; there he was. A full circle. Senior year started off at a party of the Rockefeller Residence and it ended there as well. Walking inside; Dan have had given a ride to Jezebel and separating ways at the door - Dan had an immediate inclination to go to the bar. In a month; Daniel and Jessica will be getting settled into London for their future would be tied into Oxford. Jezebel was staying in Beryl to work with Justin Parker in his main office and… take care of Laurel if she survived. His family was separating… in a way… but they wouldn’t ever be out of their lives.

The rest of these people though… well Dan wouldn’t be able to tell. He knew Delilah had been offered a few college admissions but she hadn’t accepted yet; likely to spend time with her dad. The gag McAllisters had a kid on the way so they’d be busy with that. DeLoughry would, thank the lords have a million miles between him and Jessica (though with the two datings he was really hoping the distance would break the two up before he had to step in and work some magic). Val would be in New York with Candice at NYC. Lost in his thoughts; Dan saw a familiar girl nearby and asked for another drink from the bartender with one purpose. “So, Mare,” Dan stated; walking towards his friend with a smile. “There’s a little rumor going around the rumor mill that I’m… well I’m really hoping it’s not true.” Dan started; taking a sip of his scotch as he looked at her. “I heard you’re pregnant,” Dan said. “But if it is a lie…” Dan continued; holding the martini up to her to see if she would take it. Though a sigh of disappointment left his lips. “Nothing against you Mare. I’m sure you and Theodore would make great parents or whatever. I was just hoping you were smarter than the other highschool bozos that got knocked up,” he sighed - in a way, mentioning both Mikel and Jezebel along with Andy and Ketziah.
