Danny's POV
I'm so so tired, please, just let me sleep.
"I can't let you sleep Danny, people will die if you sleep."
Danny was laying in bed in his dark room. The air was stale and there was dust on everything, showing that there hadn't been much activity in the room. Danny felt really fatigued because he hadn't slept in weeks. His body felt sore and heavy like he had fought tooth and nail for a few days straight. His cheek hurt the most. He had never stopped smiling, not once. Not even when he saw Jazz's concerned look. She had looked so scared for him but he didn't know why. He had a feeling that it had something to do with the voice but he didn't care. He just cared about his happiness. Happiness was all that mattered.
"You're right Danny, all that matters is happiness. You can save all those lives by staying awake and happy. Just be happy Danny."
A rush of unexplainable joy rushed over Danny and he smiles wider than he ever thought he could.
"Go get ready for your day Danny. The sun is shining for you so you should greet it."
"Okay..." Danny gets up and goes to shower.
Jazz was sitting in the kitchen reading a book and eating cereal, waiting for Danny to come downstairs. She was super worried about Danny. She was positive the Danny had snapped and she didn't really want him to leave the house. She didn't trust that he wouldn't do anything, well, insane. What if he robbed a bank? Or hurt someone? Or worse, killed someone...? Jazz shivers at just the thought.
Danny comes downstairs and Jazz immediately gets up and blocks his path. "Danny, are you okay? And don't say that you're fine. I know you're not"
Danny smiles up at her, speaking calmly and softly "Of course I'm fine Jazz, why wouldn't I be?"
Jazz looks and sounds really concerned. "Danny, you're not fine. You look like hell and you sound high." She gasps "Danny, are you high!"
Danny smiles widely. "High on only life and happiness, Jazz. I just want to greet the sun like it's greeting me. It's telling me hello."
Jazz mumbles, "Oh god, I'm going to have to send my little brother to a funny farm..."
Danny looks at her her like she hurt his feelings but doesn't stop smiling. "No, you don't Jazz. I just want to be happy." He walks around her.
Jazz quickly turns and grabs his arm, stopping him. "Danny, I don't want you leaving the house."
The voice in Danny's head hisses, "don't let her stop your happiness! Don't let you stop you from leaving!"
Danny turns and quickly slaps Jazz across the face. Jazz blinks in shock and lets go of his arm and touches her now red cheek.
Danny whispers. "Don't stop my happiness." He walks out of the house and down the street, the voice in his head reassuring him that he did the right thing.
