Author's Note: Okay so I'm really glad that this god such a good start! It's my first published story and I'm planning on there being about five chapters in total. I hope you enjoy and I will update as much as I can but I happen to have somewhat of a life. This chapter is a bit short and somewhat emotional so if you get emotional easily I hope you have tissues. Also in this chapter I made Sydney appear to be a little worse than she was, but I never liked her so I felt like it was somewhat necessary to make her a little more terrible. Although my writing makes me feel bad for Jamie. I guess that's just how this works. Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I will do everything I can to update by Tuesday, I can't make any promises though.

Chapter 2- The Storm Will Pass

Danny Reagan stepped up to his brother, who was pacing angrily. "Kid. Hey, kid stop pacing, it makes me nervous."

"What exactly would you like me to do Danny?" Jamie said as he turned, the way the sun made his face shine making it obvious that he had been doing some crying. But Danny didn't comment on it.

"Settle down, I'm just trying to help. Now sit and tell me what happened." Danny said calmly, to which Jamie eventually gave in and sat, Danny sitting down next to him to be able to listen.

"Well, it's been rough…ever since Joe died. She never exactly… tried to make me feel better. I mean she offered her condolences and such but it almost felt like she didn't even care. So a couple days ago, I found her in a club after getting a call from the bartender that works there, he's a good friend of mine. When I got there…she…she was all over a guy. He um. He went to Harvard with us. She told me it was just a drunken mistake and I was stupid enough to believe her. So last night I was working on…a project. And she woke up… she told me she got offered a job in London. I obviously told her I couldn't go with her. Sh-she sat it was fine because this, this guy that I found her with was going too. I didn't know what to say. She already had her stuff packed, she left this morning. Syd just handed me the ring and said goodbye. She didn't even give me a chance to answer before she was out the door."

By the end of his rant, Jamie's voice was weak and shaky. Danny stared at his brother in shock, never expecting to hear what he just did. He felt angry that anyone could ever cheat on his baby brother. His sweet, innocent baby brother. All he could do was put an arm around his brother and pull him into a hug "I'm so sorry Jamie. She didn't appreciate everything you did for her."

"I just. I don't know what to do Danny!" Jamie yelled, standing up abruptly. "I loved her, I still love her and I'm afraid I always will. I just… I just don't know what it is I did wrong. I'm beginning to think that maybe I just wasn't very good to her."

"Don't say that kid. You treated her like a diamond. You did everything for her and she never did anything for you. She was just selfish and just wanted you because you'd be some big fancy lawyer and when you wanted to be a cop all of that changed. I'm sure she felt slightly betrayed but Jamie, she didn't deserve you. You're a big ol' sweetheart and a hopeless romantic." Danny teased, elicting a small smirk from Jamie.

Jamie sighed "I'm going to miss her. It's all I've ever wanted. Just to have a nice, healthy relationship and marriage like you and Linda have. You're always there for her and she does the same for you. I just want to be happy and be in love and have some beautiful kids to call you Uncle Danny. Is that too much to ask?"

"No. I really don't think it is. When the time comes you'll find someone that loves and appreciates you for who you are, not just your family or how much money you have. And it make take some time kid, but it will happen, just keep the faith." Danny gently slapped his brother on the back.

"I hope you're right Danny. I hope you're right" Jamie by now was on the verge of tears, and Danny, instead of teasing him for his tears, he just hugged his baby brother and was reminded of those nights when he was a little kid and it would storm. Jamie would always crawl into Danny's bed and Danny would just hold him until the storm would pass. "I know I'm right kid"

"Thank you Danny. For coming and being with me. I don't think I'd be able to make it through this without having someone. And of all people, I'm glad that someone is you."

"That means the world to me Jamie. And just think happily, this storm will pass. Life will continue and everything will be alright in the end, just you trust me."

And at that, Danny and Jamie hugged one last time, before walking back inside so Jamie could apologize to the rest of the family for yelling and walking out on dinner like that, arm in arm.

Author's Note: Well I hope you all liked that chapter. I'm sorry it was so short though. I hope I can update soon, I have a three day weekend but I am also in the middle of midterms so bear with me here. I'm planning the next chapter to be about the various family members' reactions and thoughts about what just happened and Sydney leaving. This will have taken place during the conversation that Jamie and Danny just had. Until next time- stay cool my lovelies.
