Gwen never really expected to see Danny's personality deteriorate the way it did, and not as rapidly, either. In fact, if she were going to be honest, it surprised her how quickly it had happened. And it hurt that it happened at all. Her fabulous, loving, wonderful boyfriend that she'd been dating for years, who she had so many great and adventurous memories with and a long list of firsts became unrecognizable. Gwen had to walk away. She couldn't stand by and watch this so, briefly, she left. She packed a bag and left their apartment, there and gone before Daniel got home.
She stayed with a friend, letting Jess know where she was just in case something happened. Like Danny getting himself sorted out.
And one week later, that very thing seemed to happen. She expected the reason behind it to be jarring for him, so she wasn't surprised when Jess called her and let her know Dan needed her.
But she never got the reason out of Jess. Just said she was on her way and drove to Mr Miyagi's as quickly as she could.
Jess left shortly after her arrival, and Gwen sought her boyfriend out. Finding him sitting on the floor in her old room, back pressed against the end of her bed and his head in his hands.
And Gwen went to be with him, sitting beside him and turning to face him after a moment, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and easing one leg behind him under the bed. The hold is protective, and hopefully one that tells him she's there.
And that's it. That's really all it is. She's not going to say anything, unless he wants her to. For now, Gwen has no plans to leave.
She hopes he's okay with that.
