So this is the second part,
Thankyou to all who read my first part, and the ones in particular who commented, i have taken your advice.
Sorry if the first was confusing, but to clear it, George and Danny are the same, Lydia just didn't hear it right. I should have written something but i mistakenly didn't!
Also, i had to change a certain event and alter it to suit a PG-13 audience.
Anyways, enjoy

Anyways, enjoy “Getting ready for dinner with this guy you just won’t tell me about?” Nellie asked, glad that her friend had found someone.
“Indeed I am,” Lydia said, fixing herself up, “I feel pretty” She smiled silly.
“You look pretty” Nellie admitted, although she knew that Lydia always looked amazing, unlike she, who had rules on what to wear at work, it seemed that schools are strict on everyone.
“When will you properly introduce me to this Bruce?” Lydia questioned.
“When you aren’t drunk my friend” Nellie laughed but Lydia couldn’t even move. It was not something she wanted to have happened. But what’s done is done/dumb.
Before Lydia unlocked the courage inside her to knock on the door, she slid the creases in her pretty, short dress.
‘I’m moving too fast, hold your pace, do not go in there’ Her mind played these like an alarm on snooze, annoying and un-easing. Her fear twirled around her feet, but her eagerness to see Danny kept her from falling. She finally knocked on the door.
“Lydia! You came!” Danny said excitingly, he kissed her on the cheek as though they were two home baking mothers who had known each other for years. But contrary, they were male and female, who have not known each other for long at all “Come in, come in!” His house was beautiful. She couldn’t help but allow her jaw to drop a bit.
“Nice house,” The words barely came out, she cleared her throat and began again, “Nice house”
“Uh yes, it is” He said, preparing the finishing touches on my plate as I sat down. I looked around a bit more, it was too clean for a male to be living here, either he’s a freak, or his playing me. Either way, food is food.
“I like the way you eye this place, as though you’re looking for something to bag me out on” He smiled shiftily, sitting down in front of me, sliding my plate towards me so we can finally eat.
“Haha, no, I told you, it’s just a real nice place” She thought she sounded nervous, but she could not even tell because of how hard her heart was beating. Ah, the pleasures of being next to such a good looking man.
As much as Lydia enjoyed her meal, and the unconscious flirting going back and forth, she missed home. But still she wanted to stay. He had a certain type of company that was so… consoling.
He swiftly led her over in front of the TV, where his eyes were caressing her body, it was clear and undeniable, but yet completely enjoyable.
“So..”
“Yes, this is pretty awkward” Lydia squealed, she didn’t want it to be like this.
“Lydia, I lied to you” He was just so serious.
“What?” Lydia’s face changed dramatically, the joy in her face had been strangled out. “I’m not a cop Lydia, I’m sorry”
“Okay, and?”
“I’m a criminal, a sorry, cold criminal” She shivered a bit. What the fiddle was this guy on about? A criminal, why isn’t he in jail. He must be lying, Must. Be. Lying. She looked away hastily, breathing heavily and fearfully towards the ground. He attempted to examine her expression, but she wouldn’t let him look at her. Still looking at the floor, she managed to pull out of her mouth the words to answer a thousand questions in her mind.
“What did you do?”
"I can't say, its heartbreaking stuff, you probably already heard of it, in the newspapers, July 16, 2006” He said, fidgeting with his hair, it looked so touchable. she wondered why she thought of his hair when he admitted to crime. Sweet scented crime. “She lured me in, you know, females are just so … tempting. She surely was the top of the lot, I liked her, hell, I loved her. But she tricked me into thinking that lifestyle was what I needed to be with her. I swear I cried, a thousand nights I cried. But it didn’t erase what I had done, and nothing will” He seemed so frustrated. She wanted to cuddle him but fear had nailed her down. "My bail was paid after two years in prison, i'm on probation now, that play was a police set up, they used the prisoners and probationers to do it" “I, see” She gulped the words, afraid to let them out. Her voice had reached a high pitch.
“I know how evil I seem, but no one’s truly evil right? It’s just what they do, and I know its evil. I’m not expecting you to forget about it, I just needed to tell you” He hoped she understood for he didn’t want her to magically think it was okay, that would be stupid. She needed time, and he would allow her that time.
“Danny, I, I can’t really come to fathom any of this. I’m sorry. But I feel so...”
“Unsafe? Scared? I’m not a villain, Lydia, I swear I’m not, I was in love”
“Love won’t make you commit crime, mate, I’m sure”
“Then you’ve never been in love”
“I’ve read enough about both love and the mind, it won’t take you that far” She got ready to stand up but the look he gave her made her reconsider her actions.
“Books won’t give you the same knowledge the feelings would, it’s the same as sympathy, and you can’t feel the same way the actual person does”
“And you, have no idea what I’m feeling right now” Her voice finally used the energy she stored for situations like this that never came up. She was loud and angry. It scared him a bit. So they just stared at each other so plainly, it was almost unnatural. He didn’t want her to be angry with him.
“I’m sorry. On behalf of past and present me, hopefully not for the future, because Lydia,” he paused, he was breathing like mad and looked as though he was about to cry. She looked at him silently as she imagined those salty tears falling on his highly defined cheekbones, sliding down his muscular jaw and finally falling off his chin almost like a suicide incident. Snap the hell out of it. He sat up on the couch, she followed his steps.
“Me too, Danny, I was being rude” She said, the feeling of tears becoming mutual.
“No, it doesn’t matter considering what I’ve done” Lydia could not think. Her mind was empty, blank, like the heart of the moon on a cruel Halloween night.
“Danny, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I need time to figure… I just need time. I’ll call you when I’m ready” I guess. He let her leave, he couldn’t stop her. The time apart would benefit her, he thought.
She fidgeted with her fingers throughout the whole walk home, wondering how on earth all of this could be possible. Everything was so simple, but then this strange, irresistible man came in, ruining that all. She remembered what happened on July 16, 2006. It headlined many newspapers, and she herself, was disgusted at such horrors that could be done. She thought of the way she kept this shut in the basement of her heart and mind, from Nellie, her one and only amazing best friend. It was wrong, all of this was just wrong. She walked into Nellies small, cosy room, finding her amongst photo albums and magazines.
“Lydia! How was it?”
“Don’t know if I will be seeing him again” She sighed, thinking of how much of a hassle and a burden that event at the play turned in to.
“That bad? Wow, guess I don’t need too many details then?” Nellie said, patting the space in front of her and grinning like cats on crack.
“You have two days to complete those last two questions referring to the secondary source three, and to finish off the three short answer questions on the handout” Nellie said as she saw her students without a thought in mind. Except for the cheerleader at the back, she’s probably thinking of some guy or a new move or whatever teenagers think of these days. She dismissed her class when the bell of lunch rang, bringing in a nice change. “Hello beautiful,” Bruce said, noticing the sadness in the centre of her eyes, “What’s wrong?”
"Bruce, I have six students and none of them bother, none of them, I never expected the day teaching became useless would come so soon” She sighed, not knowing how to comfort her; he pulled her into his arms and kissed her. He knew it would not make her feel better, but it would alter her thoughts for the meantime. “Quit, just quit, do something that makes you happy, you know I’ll be there” He smiled as she clung onto his cardigan.
“I can’t just quit, I’ll have to try harder”
“Let’s go eat, I’m hungry”
“Or we can stay in here?” She smirked. This may have been frowned upon, but she didn’t care today. She could pretend she had Lydia’s vulnerability and wildness for 45 minutes, couldn’t she?
