Danny stood watching, as his sister sat in front of the grave, sobbing. He
couldn't stand watching her hurt like that, and he knew she did, he could
hear her crying every night. Their mum had died 5 years ago, and Alissa
would cry herself to sleep, he thought she was coping and beginning to get
on with her life. But she seemed to have slipped into depression. Some days
she would be ok, but others she would shut herself in her room not coming
out for hour's even days.
'' Allie '' he softly called, kneeling next to her. She looked up at him, and smiled weakly.
'' Hey Danny what's up '' she asked, looking back at the headstone.
'' I came to see how you are '' he asked, tucking the couple of strands of blonde hair that had fallen onto her face.
'' why I'm fine '' she answered, not looking away from the headstone.
'' No you're not Allie I heard you last night cryi.'' he stopped when she glared at him. And then stood up, walking towards the gates. He ran after her trying to chase her.
'' Daniel I'm fine don't worry so much '' she said, turning to him.
'' I do worry about you you're my little sister '' he said, grabbing her by her shoulders.
'' I..just miss her..I miss her so much Daniel '' she cried, falling to her knees crying into her hands.
'' I know Allie I know I miss her to and so does Jamie. We all miss her '' he said, kneeling down on the floor, and hugging her. '' But she wouldn't want any of us getting upset ''
'' But it's hard '' she said, he helped her to stand. And together they walked out of the cemetery.
'' I know but don't remember the bad times.remember the good one's '' he answered smiling. '' By the way I've got something to tell you ''
'' What '' she asked, stopping outside her apartment building.
'' I'm moving out '' he blurted out, making her drop her keys and turn round.
'' You what.your moving out when why '' she asked in a rush.
'' No reason. Well there is a reason it's just it's your apartment and it's time for me to find my own instead of well cramping your style '' he answered, picking up her key's.
'' 1 your not cramping my style 2 when are you moving and 3 have you found a place '' she asked, taking the keys from him and unlocking the door.
'' 1 glad I'm not cramping your style 2 I don't know in the next couple of days 3 no I have not found a place but I will I might just stay in Jamie's spare room if he'll let me ''
'' Ok you can have my apartment '' she replied, walking up the stairs to her apartment.
'' What about you where are you going to live '' he asked.
'' Already dealt with it I'm moving in with Bosco '' she unlocked the door to her apartment, and they walked in closing the door behind them.
'' What kind of name is Bosco '' laughed Danny, sitting down on the couch putting his feet on the coffee table. She walked past pushing his feet of, and walked down the hall to her bedroom. Coming back a couple of minutes later with a book.
'' His name is Maurice Boscerelli but everyone including me calls him Bosco '' she said, hitting him over the head with the book, and then sitting down next to him. He sat there rubbing his head and she just laughed.
'' Alissa don't laugh '' he complained.
'' Awe poor Daniel '' she said.
'' Yeah poor me '' she just laughed, and opened the book. Continuing where she left of from.
'' So your still with him then '' he asked.
'' Uh huh ''
'' How long have you been together '' Danny asked, getting up of the sofa and going to the window. Looking out onto the street.
'' Nearly a year '' she answered, not looking up from her book.
'' I'm happy for you Lis '' he said, he'd always called her Lis or Allie when he was in a good mood, but when he was in a bad mood he called her Alissa. Jamie always called her Lissie.
'' You haven't called me that for years '' she said, putting the book down on the table and getting up. She walked over to where he stood, looking out of the window.
'' I know and you know what other nickname you haven't called me in years '' she asked.
'' What ''
'' Alise ''
'' Oh yeah. I loved calling you that '' he answered smiling.
'' Me to '' she answered.
The ringing of a cell phone disturbed them; Alissa walked round the room looking for it. And found it on the sofa, in a small pile of socks, Alissa made a face and threw a dirty one at her brother, who had opened the window, he had ducked out of the way and the sock had gone out the window.
'' Hello '' replied Alissa, answering her phone. '' Hey Bosco ''
'' Hey Allie. I was wondering if you wanna go out for dinner '' he asked, looking up at the open window of Alissa's apartment.
'' Yeah sure '' she answered, smiling.
'' By the way do you know that you threw a sock out of the window '' he asked, picking it up.
'' Oh yeah sorry about that it's my brothers. So what time are you picking me up '' she asked, going over to the window and looking down. '' Why are you stood outside the apartment building ''
'' We were passing and I wanted to pop in and ask you about tonight. I tried the front door but it's locked. Anyway my shift finishes at 6:30 so I'll pick you up at 7:30 it'll give you time to get ready. And you still have not given me an answer about moving in '' he asked.
'' It's a yes. I'll see you at 7:30 love you bye '' she hung up the phone, and put it on the coffee table, she walked back to the window and looked down. He was gone, the sock lying on the ground.
'' You can go and get my sock Miss Morgan '' answered Daniel, closing the window and walking away.
'' Fine then '' she said, storming out of the apartment.
She took the elevator to the bottom, and walked outside. Picking up the sock and going back inside, she got to the third floor and walked into her apartment. Picking up the dirty clothes strewn all over the place, she made a face in disgust at the mess of the place; it was Danny's fault that it was such a mess. Before he moved in the place was always tidy, but now it was always a mess, she wondered why she ever put up with him, and didn't throw him out. But he was her brother, he and Jamie were the only family they had, they had aunts and uncles and cousins of course. Their father was still alive, but he was in jail, both their grandparents had died, so it was just the three of them in their immediate family. There other relatives lived out of town; a couple of them lived a couple of blocks away.
'' Jeez Dan could you please make more of an effort to keep the place clean. You may be my brother but it doesn't mean you have mess the place up '' she complained.
'' Ok I'm sorry. Anyway you're moving out soon '' he responded.
'' Yeah well at the moment I still live here. And at the moment your just a guest now move your dirty clothes '' she shouted, walking into the kitchen to do the dishes.

Sorry it took so long to add some more, it's just I've been busy with college work. And have not had much chance to come on the internet, to add more so this is the first chance I have had in a couple of weeks.
I hope everyone had a happy easter.
