My beloved brother
Chapter one: My Sunshine.
Dedicated to Torxanen, who kindly requested this fiction
.
It was a quiet evening as Jazz Fenton study for her school tests for the following morning, she could hear her brother and his friends playing games in his room just next door, it came as a wonder as how he managed to kept his average "B" with all his gaming and foolery.
.
Danny was more of the social kind of kid, though he had limited number of friends mostly consisting of Samantha Manson, a young vegetarian goth and a dark skin boy named Tucker Foley, by how little she had seen this kid was borderline obsess with technology, there were other names among his friends but none that she could recall or care for.
.
Unlike her brother, Jazz friends consisted of her only of her books, surprisingly she did have a boyfriend at some point in time, but things die out extremely fast, they just didn't make "click" at all.
.
Danny's voice and laughter echo through the hallways, despite being a family she didn't feel the need or the urge to spend time with her mother, father and specially with her little brother, it was around seven o'clock when his friends left the house as their gaming evening had finally come to an end.
.
The red hair girl leans back on her chair as she stares at the ceiling, a few moments later her mother Maddie knock on her door and welcome herself inside as her daughter just looks at her, the woman gaze at her child as she told her to come down for dinner.
.
With a blank look on her almost empty eyes she nodded in agreement without voicing any sort of words, Maddie walk away leaving her estrange daughter behind as she calls for her ever so cheery son.
.
Danny dash out from his bedroom with a wide smile as he passes next to Jazz, their eyes met for a brief moment, his eyes filled with joy while hers void of emotion.
.
Dinner was filled with her father's loud voice and almost irritating laughter, yet Jazz ate in silence as her brother commented on how he had been unfairly banned from using anything delicate at the school lab.
.
For the last few months the boy had drop far too many bickers and other glass containers forcing the teacher to finally prohibit him from even touching anything that could break in his butterfingers.
.
"How was your day, sweetie?" ask Maddie to her daughter.
.
"It was fine"- reply the girl as she continues eating.
.
Once dinner was over, it was almost mandatory to gather up in the living room to watch the night game shows on television, the very same her parents enjoyed perhaps a little too much.
.
Throughout time Jazz had come used to sit in the large sofa while her father sat on the single couch, in front of the girl was the two-sit sofa where her mother and brother sat, it was always the same scenery, the same routine.
.
For the last five years her family would sit every night in front of the t.v. engrossing themselves in this mindless show, Jazz couldn't understand what her parents found so fun in watching people act like fools for cheap prices, perhaps the idea of seeing someone win the fancy car they couldn't actually keep for how expensive the upholding is, drew people in.
.
The redhaired girl look over to her family, the same scene she had watching for the last five years since the show started was replaying before her eyes once more, Danny had grown enough to have trade his mother's lap for the place next to her, while her father had too grown though only on his belly and the sides.
.
But it was all still the same boring sight, during mid-show Jazz notice Danny slightly tremble and quickly excuse himself, disappearing from sight, once he was on the first floor, Jazz could hear the door slammed.
.
This behavior had become more common recently, it seem that Danny had found something new to do, but Jazz hadn't, she still had her books and her studies, once the senseless show was over, she made her way back upstairs.
.
On the wall next to the stairs, there were pictures of her and Danny, she wasn't new to the fact that she didn't smile in any of the family portraits and those where she did were always so force and fake.
.
As she made her way back to her room she notices that the lights in Danny's room were off, it was still early for him to be asleep, even so she carries on to her bedroom, straight to her books until midnight.
.
Her Saturday mornings were always the same, she would take a bath as soon as she awakens, have breakfast with her family and head back to her room to continue reading her books, it wasn't that she was devoted to school or to her studies in fact she couldn't care any less for it.
.
She just needed to do something, television bored her far too quick and she lost interest equally fast on any online friends, the teens she shared classes with never interested her either.
.
Around two in the evening Jazz would leave her house to meet her Saturday appointment at the local hospital, the journey had little changed for her, people buying in the shops, driving around mostly to places they could reach walking.
.
The park had the same kids playing on the grass while some others chat under the shade of a tree, having left the park behind the redhead could see the hospital where she was being expected.
.
It was a three stories high building with two basements, to the far right was the emergencies ward and on the opposite end was the garage, she was due on the third floor.
.
The nurses greeted her like every Saturday, Jazz had practiced her smile and morning greetings in the bathroom but in the back of her mind she was sure the girls could see right through her facade as she enter the elevator.
.
The elevators doors open to the psychiatric word, she could see some teens sitting in the waiting room, some scratching their arms while others had their eyes wondering around, perhaps their minds were indeed elsewhere.
.
After announcing herself to the nurse in the reception area, Jazz is sent down the hallway where her doctor waits for her, the plaque in the glass door reads "Dr. Bradley Jones, psychiatry."
.
"Good evening doctor"- said Jazz as the door opens revealing an unusually muscular man.
.
Every Saturday evening Jazz had to visit her psychiatrist to have her mental state evaluated, a few years ago she had been diagnosed with something called "Schizoid personality disorder," at least that what the doctors called it, she was told that the main symptoms were, lack of interest in most social activities, as well as not showing interest in other people including family members.
.
Though she was told she was sick, the girl wonder about it, those that knew about her, spoke of the redhead been actually broken the inside, Jazz never felt sick nor unusual, but something was wrong with her, perhaps they were right, maybe she was broken.
.
Her mood always the same, never showing joy not evening when she won an award at school for her science projects, the whole school had gathered at the auditorium to see her receive her prize handed by none other than the city mayor but all she said was "thanks."
.
It was almost comical as to how she robotically read the speech she had been given by her teacher mister Lancer, her reading was flat and even bore, so much it forces Lancer to step in and cut the speech short.
.
She never once felt out of place nor strange but she did understand that she wasn't as society would claim to be normal, her lack of friends was a huge concerned for Maddie, so much she even presented her to the kids from her own acquaintances.
.
"So, how was your week?"- ask the doctor.
.
"Normal, nothing to report"- answer the girl staring at her doctor.
.
The man had been her psychiatrist for almost two years since her parents notice her lack of emotions, kids normally are loud and cheery, always wanting to play with whoever and whatever is near but she never once tried to interacted with any kids in her school.
.
Her blank stare often scares off the kids, at home it was all the same, she just sat in front of the television watching cartoons, though her brother laughs his guts out she didn't even smirk, eventually she stop watching cartoons all together. Scarcely talking to her parents, never asking for anything, not toys, nor candy, never speaking out of turn.
.
For some parents this situation would be bliss but not for the Fenton's as it came to be very disturbing to see their only daughter like some pretty doll, who said nothing or ask for anything.
.
"And how are things with your boyfriend?"- continue the doctor.
.
"We broke up last week"- answer the girl.
.
Bradly wasn't surprise to see that Jazz didn't consider her break-up to be important or even relevant, as far as he knew the kid was a year older than her, they had met during an optional class the girl had been force to take by mister Lancer who wanted her to explore all her potential.
.
Their dates were always bland and repetitive, it wasn't only Jazz unemotional persona but the shy nature of her boyfriend that didn't help to improve the relationship, after six months the redhead terminated the relationship.
.
Her parents seem more disappointed and depress by the whole "breaking up" than Jazz, both Maddie and Jack had high hopes that this kid could pull their daughter from whatever void of emotions she found herself in but even he had his fill of the girl's cold aura.
.
Once again as the prior two years, doctor Bradly hadn't done any sort of advances on her mental state, he did wonder if she actually had Schizoid personality disorder, she did show all of the symptoms but something just didn't feel right, it was as if she had never even been born with emotions.
.
Never showing interest in others or passion for anything had become her way of living life, the sole reason she had began to study so devoutly was only because her mother asked her to. Prizes, trophies and medals meant nothing to her, just something to hang on the living room wall.
.
"I'm gonna give you a medicine a little stronger than the ones I already prescribe you"- said the man as he had realized that the medicine had no effect whatsoever on the girl.
.
The man watches her leave like she had done for the last two years she had been seeing him and yet never showing the slightest improvement, this made Bradly wonder if she should be intern, perhaps with 24-hour surveillance and stronger medication could provide better results.
.
Her nights were the same boring routine, eating a bland and flat dinner that both her father and brother claim to be delicious though she couldn't actually enjoy, followed by the same mindless show on television, though lately Danny had made it a common occurrence to leave suddenly.
.
Her weekend ended like usual but it seems her brother had the time of his live thanks to his friends, even though she wonders how it would be to have such relationships, she didn't feel any sort of jealousy towards the boy.
.
Surely, she enjoyed having a boyfriend for nearly six months, had gone on dates and the such, even kissing but nothing spark within her heart by being with the boy.
.
The week carry on as usual and as such she made her customary trip to the school library on Wednesday where she would read her afternoon away, unbeknown to her a few pair of eyes gaze upon her with malicious attention.
.
Night came along with a text message from her mother asking the redhead to come home, Jazz notice it was already 6:00 pm, the library was closing up for the day, as she made her way, the librarian wave Jazz good-bye with a large smile as the red hair did the same though without the same cheery smile.
.
Behind her a group of boys follow the red hair girl, each step made them dangerously closer, Jazz hadn't notice them at all as her mind was engross with her homework and extracurricular assignments that needed to be done by Friday.
.
A few steps away she could see a large balding man wearing a black leather jacket and sunglasses, the girl found unusual to see someone using dark shades despite it was already dark.
.
As she passes next to him, the man quickly swipes behind her putting the teen in a tight neck hold, by sheer instinct she tried to free herself from the man's grip but as she grabs his thick and powerful arm, two of the men that were following her take hold of her legs and quickly carry her into a nearby alleyway.
.
The very few that witness the abduction chose to ignore her, as they move their eyes away, the men that took her all wore dark hoodie and ski masks, she tried to struggle away from them but no matter what she tried, it all became futile, though a normal person would be terrified, she wasn't.
.
Even when they peel her pants off, she couldn't feel any sort of fear, she was well aware that she needed to scream, that her heart had to be beating so hard it should break from her ribcage and yet she couldn't.
.
Her breathing remains calm as the rapists spread her legs and torn her panties, the bold man told her to stay calm or he would brake her neck and still rape her, rather than closing her eyes she kept on staring to the one in front.
.
The man's eyes were blue and filled with fear, it appears to be the first time he's done something like this, his hands tremble as he unzips his pants, the other three order him to hurry as they too want their turns.
.
Jasmin's legs began to hurt as they had never been in such a position before, her neck was no better, she could feel the rapist penis trying to pierce her womanhood, as she lowers her eyes she could notice his pubic hair to be blonde.
.
"Almost…."- whisper the rapist as his friends continue to hurry him.
.
A quick and sudden strike to the man's head tosses him to the side unconscious as some blood spills over Jazz's face, without wasting a single second Jazz savior attacks the rapist on the right by bashing him in the head.
.
The large bold man lets go of Jazz and tries to tackle the one who had come to the girl's rescue, but though the bold man is almost twice his size, the smaller guy manages to hold his ground.
.
Her surprise is great as she sees the two fighting men under the street light, her savior was none other than her younger brother, in his hand was a rusty pipe he wields like a sword, far behind them was a scared Sam talking on the phone, most likely with the police.
.
She hadn't notice but Tucker was standing next to her threating the second rapist with a wooden plank, the man in the ski mask didn't know what to do, but reason was heavier than loyalty, for he chose to run leaving his friends behind, Tucker tried to follow him but his shaking legs didn't let him go too far.
.
Jazz's eyes were glue to her younger brother, never had she seen him like this, fighting bravely against a man that clearly double his size and triple his weight, despite all of his disadvantages, Danny had the upper hand in this fight.
.
Each punch thrown to him were dodge with sublime agility, growing tired of this little dance, the bold man once more tried to tackle the kid, yet the raven hair boy steps to the side letting the guy fall on the ground.
.
The fight ends once Danny connects a strike to the man's jaw with his rusty pipe, teeth and blood fly out from his mouth as he falls unconscious over a puddle of filthy water.
.
Unable to stand up, the redhead girl watches how Danny rushes over to her and hugs her tightly, his warm embrace heats her soul as his arms do the same with her body, she slowly wraps her arms around his back and relaxes.
.
Something "click" within her, this was different from the many time her ex-boyfriend hugged her, she felt Danny's warmed, she felt not only safe but comfortable, it was as if she belongs in his arms.
.
Their eyes met as both ignore the sirens from the police patrol cars that had just arrived, the chattering from the onlookers who had refuse to help the redhead girl in her moment of need despite having seen her being abducted, and of course the stares from Sam and Tucker.
.
Later that night the whole Fenton family had gather at the local police station, where Jazz gave her statement against the three rapists, having the fourth escape, though the cops assured her that it was only a matter of time before they caught him too.
.
Among the criminals was none other than Dash Baxter, the school quarterback. Jazz had recognized him immediately once his ski mask had been removed by the police, the boy often flirted with Jazz even when she had a clear relationship with her now former boyfriend.
.
But never once had been remotely interested in the quarterback, this of course didn't fit well with the arrogant and overly confident teen, more often than not he took his frustrations with Danny, knowing all too well that he and Jazz are blood related.
.
Perhaps in his idiotic head, he thought he could impress Jazz with his large muscles and athletic prowess, but none ever did call her attention not even when her brother became the target of his bulling.
.
Now quarterback Dash Baxter was been charged with attempted rape, his parents beg the Fenton's to drop the charges but neither Jack nor Maddie were willing to let go.
.
The teen had been tricked by his older friends, a group of football players who somehow had the idea that they could sleep with whatever woman they wanted just because they knew how to throw a ball.
.
Jazz constant refusals had offended the teens as they believe that no woman should ever refuse them, it was in their empty heads that they figure it was only natural for them to correct Jazz's behavior. Of course, the rest of the world disagree with the players way of thinking, Dash and the others would face justice.
.
Despite how horrible the experience was, it surprised the police officers to see the girl calm and collected, in their experience, girls that go through such attacks are a shaking mess, always on full alert.
.
But Jazz didn't show any sort of fear or uneasiness whatsoever, if it weren't for the fact that the cops caught the criminals in the act, it would seem like nothing actually took place.
.
The whole journey back home, Jazz held tightly to Danny's hand never letting go, the boy understood that though she couldn't express it on her face, she was indeed terrified, hence the reason as to why she refuses to let go of him.
.
Jazz turns her gaze over to Danny, for the first time in many years she smiles without the need to fake it, having almost forgotten her rape attempt she leans over his shoulder as she falls asleep.
.
His warm and tenderness made him the most comfortable spot to be at any given moment, her slumber came short as they had reach Fenton works, it was already pass two in the morning, all the family headed back to their rooms.
.
Maddie hug her daughter before making sure she was in her bedroom, tuck in and safe, yet the girl's empty eyes made her worried even more but not as much as when she heard about the attack.
.
The old woman couldn't help but wonder if there was anything, she could do to make things better, her daughter's sickness and now the fact that she was target by a group of evil men made her even more concerned than ever.
.
Her dreams were void of nightmares of the attack, for she dreams about school, her days in the library, the tasteless family dinners and above all, about Danny, she could see herself in his arms, safe and warm.
.
She leans in closer to his face, their lips almost touching each other, but the honking of a truck driver that to stop due to a biker passing the red light, force the red hair girl to harshly return to reality.
.
Panting heavily, she looks around, the sun was up high and bright as ever, not a single cloud in the light-blue sky, the honking from the traffic in the street below her room was roaring.
.
The alarm clock said it was already nine am, the girl jumps off her bed and straight into the hallway where her mother stops her as she explains that she had been given a few days off, the woman also told her about having to go to the police precinct to meet with Jack and the detective in charge of her case.
.
Though Maddie didn't want to tell her, Jazz knew the principal and the school board must have been informed by the police about what their sports star had done to their award-winning student, not really wanting to leave her daughter alone Maddie left the house as she told her daughter that her breakfast was in the kitchen.
.
Casper high wasn't known for winning awards and trophies in anything, not in sports or academics, the last time the school had receive an award was almost twelve years ago and prior to that, was when Maddie study there herself.
.
Jazz nodded in agreement as she headed over to the bathroom to groom herself, on the mirror she could see a small and feint bruise under her neck, she began running the water from the shower as she took off her clothes.
.
She was so tired she hadn't change into her pajamas, as she took off her pants and socks, she could see hand marks on her ankles, upon entering the shower she recalls that the paramedics that tended to her, said she wasn't harm at all.
.
It was indeed a miracle that her brother happened to pass by with his friends, if the movie had ended a little later or if the line for the snack bar had been just a little longer, Dash and his crew would had done their evil.
.
Just some light bruises were the result of this attack, even now she couldn't feel the repugnance of having Dash's penis probing and nearly piercing her womanhood, pain was the only thing her body and mind answer to.
.
Her soul was empty, not a single emotion was there, she wasn't happy nor sad, it bothers her to know she wasn't normal, she knew she had to be angry, scare, there were so many emotions she could choose from but she just couldn't feel anything.
.
Once she finishes her shower, Jazz head back to her room, stopping in front of Danny's room, needless to say he was at school perhaps being bully by Dash teammates, slowly she opens the door leading to where her hero slept at night.
.
Posters of a rock band called Humpty-Dumpty decor the wall where the bed stood, next to the it was a large dresser with some photos of himself with Sam and Tucker, some other people appear in a few more pictures, none that the girl could care to remember.
.
Cover only by her dump towel she walk over to the bed, the grey sheets and white pillow were the only that dress the bed unlike hers, Maddie insisted on pink sheets and fluffy pillows.
.
She laid down on the bed putting her face on the grey sheets, she recalls the vile stench from the hairless man, she kindly expected a similar odor coming from the bedsheets, but instead she sniffs the sweet fragrance her brother left.
.
Jazz took in deep breaths as she moves her head over to the pillow, just it was a shirt, the same type Danny always wore, a white polo with a red dot in the middle, the boy never care to be in fashion hence he had many of the same shirts and blue jeans.
.
She remains in bed for hours, sniffing the shirt and touching her breast as she was getting drunk with the scent Danny left on the shirt and the bedsheets, the roaring sounds of the family RV parking in front of the house made the girl jump out from her trance.
.
Running to her room as fast as she could, Jazz immediately put on her usual blue pants and black blouse, and made her way downstairs to greet her parents.
.
Jack was tired, he had been at the station all night long dealing with both his lawyer and that of the Baxter family, Dash tried to get a deal by ratting out his friends, who unsurprisingly had been doing drugs and had rape other girls.
.
The trial will take place the following week but as it seems, Dash was facing a year in juvenile for attempted rape and assault, as well as possession of drugs and aiding criminal affairs.
.
The bold man had a warrant against him, naturally for rape, the other kid was too face trail the same day as Dash, yet he was only being trial for the attempted rape.
.
Nevertheless, the fourth rapist who had already being identified, thanks to Dash, as Kwan Li who had gone into hiding but it was a matter of time before he is caught. Jack hug his daughter as he told her that everything was alright now, the guys were in prison and the other kid was far too scare to try anything foolish.
.
Maddie took her husband to their room as she told Jazz to relax in the living room, as she sat on her regular spot, the girl moves her eyes towards the spot where Danny normally sat, she could envision the teen, leaning against the arm rest as he watches the same mindless shows on television. Laughing at crude and vulgar jokes that almost scratch with obscene as night comes over, ending another boring day for the girl.
.
Now Danny was in Jazz's mind ever since the attack, she notices that the clock read 2:30, her brother would be back from school in a short while, that if he didn't hang out with his friends as was usual.
.
She took a sit at her brother's spot in the couch, with her eyes close she soon drawn herself in thoughts of not so innocent nature, she could feel Danny's arms wrapping around her shoulders from behind while he rested his face just under her chin.
.
Smiling almost wickedly, the redhead slowly moves her hands over to her shoulder, searching for Danny's hands but rather than his hand, she met with Maddie's hand, who had come to get her daughter.
.
"Are you ok, honey?"- ask the older Fenton.
.
It was the first time Maddie saw her daughter startle, and somewhat scare, not even when she picked up the girl up in the police station had she been like this, Jazz quickly collected herself as he told her mother that all was find.
.
The family matriarch invited Jazz to have lunch at a local diner, mostly because she wasn't in the mood to cook, her husband was already asleep and most likely wouldn't wake up for a few hours, Danny on the other hand would be arriving soon, the woman figure he could just make himself a sandwich or something.
.
She wanted to talk with Jazz about the incident at the alley, and try to help her out, even though her heart was in right place, she did wonder if she could actually help her out.
.
The girl was a mystery wrap in an enigma, it was always a task to try to understand her, more often than not Maddie hadn't the slightest idea of what her own daughter was thinking.
.
"Danny's gonna be hungry when he comes back"- suddenly said the girl, "I think he likes fried chicken and mash potatoes"-continue Jazz.
.
As she headed over to the kitchen Maddie follow close behind, never had Jasmine been interested in her brother or anyone for that matter, Maddie had high suspicions that the whole boyfriend thing she had going on was just for show.
.
But now she was trying to figure out, on how to prepare Danny's favorite meal, perhaps it was her way of saying "Thank you," or to keep her mind away from the events the night before, after some maybe unnecessary instructions from Maddie, Jazz finally manage to make a rather decent looking meal.
.
The door open, Jazz smile wide and long as she heard her brothers voice called out for her, Maddie was taken slightly aback from by how Jazz sprint away towards Danny.
.
"You're back!"- yell the girl as she took him in arms.
.
The fragrance that emanated from his body made her close her eyes while she hugs the boy as hard as she could, her smile was even wider than before, almost scary, she could feel how Danny wrap his arms around her waist.
.
"I made you lunch"- said the girl as she opens her eyes.
.
At the door was Sam and Tucker both looking at her with worried expressions drawn on their faces, it was clear they wanted to ask about what really happened yesterday, but couldn't muster the courage.
.
They had thought she would be a shaking mess after the attack, and though they knew she was extremely stoic and collected, even her should be far more scare and yet there she stood with a huge smile.
.
"your friends are here…"- continue the girl as her aura darken.
.
The sudden change made both Sam and Tucker shiver, her eyes had narrow into a violent glare, with a cold voice she invited them to have lunch as well, unable to answer to the girl, Maddie step in with her cheerful demeanor.
.
With both hand on their shoulders she pushes them to the diner, Maddie had failed to notice the dark aura that involves her daughter, as she is much too happy to see her little girl so cheery and full of emotions.
.
After lunch the trio headed over to Danny's room, all while been glare by Jazz, this new attitude in the older student model had taken Sam by surprise, who felt her gaze the heaviest, she didn't like one bit nor did she had to will to voice this concerned.
.
While the kids play in Danny's room, the goth girl question his black hair friend about his sister, if she was doing alright? Danny told her that Dash and his friends didn't manage to hurt Jazz, but he too wonder about her mental state, no one leave unscathed such event.
.
Unbeknown to them, the older redhead teen had her ear put against the thin wooden wall that separated their rooms, trying her very best to listen to their conversation with little reward.
.
As she held the shirt she had "borrow" from Danny's room, Jazz walk to her bed, still sniffing to it deeply, she rolls over as her brother and his friends' laughter could come out from beyond the wall.
.
"Now I know, I'm not sick nor am I broken, I was just missing something, hahaha, I can't believe it,"- said the girl as she happily hugs the shirt, "to think that what I had miss was standing in front of me for fourteen years"-
.
"Danny, you are my sunshine"
To be continue
