The following is a work of total fiction. I have never met Darren or Daniel and like everyone else apart from them and their partners I do not know their true sexual preferences. I do not mean any disrespect or harm to either of them.

nextnext day Daniel had to go out; he didn't tell Darren where he was going. He went to see Angel.

When he arrived he rang the doorbell and Angel went to answer it.

"Hello Angel. Can we talk?"

"Sure, come in Daniel. Just don't try to get me to change my mind about me and Darren; you’ll be wasting your time! Can I get you anything?"

“I’ll have a coffee if you’re making one.”

“Sure, come through.”

They went to the kitchen. Angel invited Daniel to sit down and made some coffee.

"Is your father here?"

"No, he and mum went shopping. Why?"

"Did he tell you what he did to Darren?"

"I haven’t seen him since he went out last night. What do you mean? I wasn't aware he'd seen Darren."

"Well he has and he bashed Darren really bad."

"What? Why? I didn't tell him anything! I told him it was nothing to do with him. Why would he bash Darren when he doesn't know what happened?"

"Darren told him."

"What? You're kidding? My dad knows what happened?"

"Not the futorytory. He assumed it was another woman; Darren went along with it. He thought it would be easier for all concerned."

Angel was really upset to think that her father had hurt Darren, despite all that had happened she still cared for him.

"Is he badly hurt? Did he need to go to the hospital?"

"Yeah, it's pretty bad. I said he should go to the hospital to find out if anything is broken but he refused, reckons it’s just bruising. His lip is cut and his face and body are badly bruised. He didn’t even try to defend himself he just let your dad lay into him! He thought it would purge some of the guilt he felt, but it didn't. So now he's hurting physically as well as emotionally and he doesn’t feel any better. I don't expect for you to have any sympathy for him after what we did, I just thought that you should know. I'm sorry but Darren it sit slip about the baby too, he thought you would have told your parents already. Your dad wasn't too happy about that either."

"I didn’t say much to my parents when I got here only that I needed to stay here for a while. I was asleep when he got back last night and they'd gone out by the time I got up this morning. I guess we'll be having words when he gets back. I really didn't want them knowing about the baby yet. I know they would have found out anyway but I wanted to get used to the idea myself before I told them. Still, I suppose Darren has saved me the bother of telling them now, I must admit I wasn't looking forward to it under the circumstances."

"Is there really no chance of you forgiving him, Angel? It’s obvious you still care for him. If you can find it in you to forgive him, I'll step aside and leave you two to get on with your lives together. I promise I won’t get in your way."

"No Daniel, there's no chance. You’re right I do still care about him and I’m sorry my dad hurt him but I can't forgive him. You stay with him he'll need you, he can't cope by himself. Just be happy and make it worthwhile that Darren and I broke up."

"If you really don't want him I'll take care of him and try to make him happy. You won't keep him away from the baby will you? I couldn't blame you if you did after what's happened but it really wouldn't be fair on the child, it will have a right to know its dad. And Darren has a right to know his child; he wants to be involved; I hope you will let him."

"Daniel, Darren and I have been through too much for me to shut him out of my life completely. Of course I won't keep him away from the baby; he can be as involved as he wants to be. I wouldn’t be able to cope with the baby on my own anyway, I need his help and I agree it wouldn't be fair on the baby to keep them apart. I still love him you know, I don't think anything will ever change that; it's just nothing can ever be the same for us now. It's best if we don't get back together, he's all yours."

"Ok if you're sure. I'll take good care of him you know."

"I know you will Daniel. I still don't really understand two guys loving each other the way you do but I know that you do love him as much as I do. I know he'll be ok with you."

"Will you be ok? I mean it's not going to be easy bringing up a child alone. Darren intends to help as much as he can but as you know we're going away on tour in a couple of weeks so he won't be here for a while."

"Yeah, I'll be ok. Hopefully mum and dad will help when Darren's not around. You’ll be back before the baby is born won’t you?"

"Yeah we're only going for four months so we’ll be back in plenty of time. Will you want Darren with you at the birth? I'm sure he'd like to be."

"It's what I always hoped would happen...before all this, but now...I don't know, maybe. How would you feel about it? How do you feel about us having this baby?"

"It's really none of my business, Angel. It's between you two, the baby is a fact there's nothing I can do about it. I have to accept it. As for Darren being with you at the birth, I wouldn't want to keep him from that. If he wants to be there and you want him there, go for it. I t it it would be good for him to be there, it's supposed to help the father bond with the baby, isn't it? There's no reason I can think of why he shouldn't be there.”

“I guess you’re right, maybe I will ask him to be there. So long as you’re ok with it.”

“Angel of course I’m ok with it, ask him. You know after your initial reaction you're taking all this really well now. I was a bit nervous about coming here and seeing you again after what happened last time I saw you. I thought you might have slammed the door in my face! I wouldn't blame you if you really hated me for what I did yet here we are having a civilised conversation."

"Well we are civilised people. I know I totally freaked out at first, it was such a shock. I had no idea Darren had those kinds of feelings especially for you. I thought I knew him better than anyone turned out I really didn't know him at all, but I can't hate you Daniel, I can't even hate him. No matter how hard I try to I still love him and for our child's sake I hope that we can at least be friends. I am getting over the shock now and coming to terms with the situation. I don’t think I’ll ever agree with it but I do accept it. I have to. You have a right to live your lives the way you want to, it’s not for me to condemn you for it. Only God can do that.”

“So you reckon we’re going straight to Hell for what we’re doing?”

“I didn’t say that! I’m not really too religious, you know that, but it’s what some people would say. It’s what the Bible tells us, right? What you two are doing is not natural, but I guess you didn’t choose to be attracted to guys. You can’t help how you feel, I don’t think anyone would choose to be gay, it must make life a lot harder.”

“That’s right it does make life harder unless you’re ready to be openly gay, which I’m not, it’s a lot harder to find a partner. Plus there is still a lot of prejudice from people who don’t understand. I didn’t choose to have these feelings for Darren but I do. I tried to fight it for so long; I knew it would cause all sorts of problef I f I let Darren know how I really felt about him. If he hadn’t responded the way he did I could have lost everything. I would have lost one of the best friends I’ve ever had, the band would have been finished, and he could even have told everyone what I did! I guess I could have blamed it on the drink and begged him to forget it happened but I don’t know if he would have accepted that. The worst thing to come out of all this is that you got hurt, neither of us wanted that. Yes, I wanted Darren all to myself, I won’t deny that, but I never had any intention of coming between you two. I always knew how in love you were I didn’t want to be responsible for breaking up your relationship. I was willing to just have whatever time I could with Darren, you always had the best of him.”

“At least you knew he was seeing me, that when he left you he came home to me, to our bed. I had no idea what you two were doing when I wasn’t around. I believed you were just working on new songs or organising the tour and stuff. I trusted you both; I had no reason not to.”

“I know, and we abused that trust. Like Darren, I am truly sorry, but you’ve loved Darren, you say you still do, so you know how it feels to love him. To know him is to love him, wouldn’t you agree?”

“Yes I do. He is a great guy and anyone who knows him can’t help but love him. You just shouldn’t be in love with him, it’s not right.”

“I didn’t say it was right but as I said I can’t help how I feel. You don’t choose who you fall in love with, your heart does, and if your heart wants something it won’t stop aching till it gets what it wants. Surely you can understand that?”

“That’s very poetic, and we always thought it was Darren who had a way with words! Of course I can understand. I don’t want to fall out with you Daniel, there’s no point. I don’t want Darren back and you have him now so everyone’s happy!”

“I wouldn’t say happy exactly. Darren’s ok with me, but not as happy as he would be if he still had you. He’s miserable without you, and while he’s hurting over you I can’t be happy either, not completely. Also I know you’re not happy, having to deal with all this, going through a pregnancy without the man you love, the father of your baby. It’s not going to be easy for you and I am so sorry for fucking everything up for all of us.”

“Don’t worry we’ll survive Daniel, we have to. We’ll just have to help each other through it till we come out the other side.”

“Yeah, we’ll do that.”

“Darren wasn’t your first was he?”

“No he wasn’t, but I’m hoping he’ll be my last. He’s the first one I’ve ever truly loved.”

“How many havu hau had?”

“Why the sudden interest? I thought you were disgusted by all this.”

“I’m just curious. You stole my fiancé, the least you can do is answer a simple question.”

“Ok, well there were two others before Darren. Each of them made the first move. I’d always known there was something different about me. While other guys had pin up posters of Madonna and Kylie on their walls I just had posters of things like motorbikes and surfboards on my walls. I wasn’t really interested in girls, I didn’t fancy boys either, I just thought I was a late developer. I went out with a couple of girls and I did have a sexual relationship with one of them when I was sixteen. It was more out of curiosity than anything, I didn’t really love her. That sounds awful doesn’t it?”

“Yeah but it’s forgivable though, you were only sixteen, after all. Most sixteen year old boys are like that. So you only ever made love with one woman?”

“Yeah, I didthinthink it was all that! Maybe it was her, I don’t know, but I certainly couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about! I never wanted a replay that’s for sure.”

“Maybe you should try it with another woman to find out if it was her. You never know, you may enjoy it with someone else. Maybe she wasn’t very experienced.”

“Oh she was experienced alright, very experienced! I really don’t think she was the problem, it was me. I just wasn’t interested.”

“So when did the first guy come on to you?”

“When I was seventeen. I knew him at school, although he was a couple of years above me. I never really knew he was into guys, although there were rumours as he’d never had a girlfriend. I wasn’t his first; he was quite experienced he taught me everything. I wasn’t too sure about the full sex thing, he told me it would hurt at least for the first few times till I got used to it. It was a few months before I was ready for that, I was happy to do anything else I just didn’t want him inside me. When I eventually did let him I found it wasn’t quite as bad as I’d imagined, mainly cowas was drunk at the time, numbed the pain a bit I guess!”

“You enjoyed it, once you got used to it then?”

“Yeah, he was really gentle. He taught me how to be gentle too. We were together till just after my 18th birthday, then we kinda drifted apart. A few months after we broke up I met another guy and we had a brief fling, I was still seeing him when I first met Darren then we broke up a couple of weeks later.”

“Did that have anything to do with your feelings for Darren?”

“Only everything! I kept going on about what a great guy Darren was, not that I said I fancied him or anything, although I did from the moment I first set eyes on him. He just guessed how I felt and said it was better if we ended it. I didn’t argue, it’s not like he was the love of my life. From then on I was alone till the night I made a move on Darren. I always knew he was special, but I never intended to take him away from you. I knew how happy you were together and before that night I managed to keep my feelings to myself. It hurt going home alone, knowing he was with you.”

“I know how you felt; it’s the other way around now.”

“It doesn’t have to be, anytime you want him you only have to say tord.ord. I’ve told you I won’t stand in your way. You do have a child to consider now.”

“Give up, Daniel or we will fall out! Unlike you, I couldn’t face sharing him and I can’t ask him to give you up. As long as we can be friends the baby will be ok. Does he know you’re here by the way?”

“No, I didn’t thim him where I was going. I don’t think he’d be too happy if he did know.”

“Does he intend pressing charges against my dad?”

“No, he figured he deserved it for hurting you. Your dad’s quite safe. No offence but if I had anything to do with it I would make sure he did press charges! I know your dad was angry and I guess he had a right to be but violence doesn’t solve anything and he didn’t have to hurt Darren as badly as he did.”

“Please tell Darren I’m sorry for what my dad did, I can understand why he did it, but I wish he hadn’t, he had no right to interfere. I told him to keep out of it but I should have known he wouldn’t be able to stay out of it. He’s spent almost twenty one years protecting me it must be hard for him to stop now. He’s not quite as bad with myter,ter, it must be because I’m the youngest, his baby!”

“Well from what Darren told me you’ve always been his little princess, right?”

“Yeah, but he has to realise I’m not a little girl any more. I’m all grown up and soon I’ll have a child of my own to take care of. And I don’t mind admitting that scares the crap out of me right now! Will I be a good mother? I don’t know anymore there’s so much going on in my head. I guess all I can do is my best.”

“That’s all anyone can do, Angel, but I’m sure you’ll make a wonderful mother. You’re a lovely person and you have so much love to give. I think this baby will be very lucky to have you as a mother.”

“Thank you, that’s really nice of you to say that.”

“I only said it because it’s true. So do you think we can all be friends again after what’s happened?”

“I hope so Daniel, we have to try at least for the baby’s sake. If you and Darren are going to be together you’re going to be as much a paf thf this child’s life as he is. All I ask is that you don’t flaunt your relationship in front of the child. It doesn’t need to know that its daddy has a male lover. I know it doesn’t matter too much while it’s a baby but I don’t want my child getting picked on at school because of it and I’m sure you know as well as I do how cruel kids can be.”

“You’re right, kids can be cruel; anything different and they pick up on it. I understand how you feel and I promise you we will keep it private.”

“Thanks Daniel I appreciate it, and thanks for letting me know what happened to Darren.”

“No worries! Well I’d better be going, you take care. You’ve got more than just yourself to think about now.”

Angel walked to the front door with Daniel to see him out.

“Bye Daniel.”

“Bye Angel.”

He left and a short time later Angel’s parents arrived home.
