Danny rested his forhead atop Evelyn's. They stood like that quietly. " Hey, you wanna go to the beach" asked Evelyn. " Sure" Danny " race you there" finished Danny as he took off running causing Evelyn to run screaming after him. Upon arrival at the beach, they both clapsed on the sand laughing. " God Danny, you know you can run faster than me, that was hardly fair" whined Evelyn. " I think it's plenty fair" retorted Danny. " That is obviously a matter of oppinion" said Evelyn leaning over to kiss Danny. " Obviously" replied Danny returning the kiss. A moment of silence followed.

" Mind if i ask you something" asked Evelyn. " Yeah sure go ahead" replied Danny. " Did you and Jannee have a rough child hood" asked Evelyn. " Yeah, where did you find that out " asked Danny a glazed look coming over his feautures. " I don't know, Rafe mentioned it and i noticed Jannee had scars on her wrist" said Evelyn softly. " The scars on her wrist aren't from the abuse initially, she got scared and tried to kill herself when she was about 6 yrs old" said Danny. " I remember i was talking to Rafe when i heard screaming in the bathroom, when i walked in there, Jannee had managed to slit her wrist" " I was so scared i didn't know if she was going to make it", " I always had hated my father, for beating up on me and Jannee, he died that night of alcohol poisning, he didn't even see Jannee in the hospital". " I was glad he died". " My mom died when i was about 2" Jannee's mom died after Jannee was born, Jannee never knew her, after that, it was me and Jannee fending for ourselves against dad, he would usually get mad at me and go after Jannee then have a go with me when i tried to intervene, no-one but Rafe believed us". " A few yrs ago when me and Rafe joined the military, i couldn't leave Jannee nor would she allow me to leave without her so i brought her along" Danny sighed and stop talking. " The story of my life" he muttered.

Evelyn was speachless, so it was true. Their father really did abuse them and no one believed them. god no wonder he wasn't sure of himself sometimes.




a/n- don't ask what i was thinking. I just happen to remember Rafe saying that Danny's father was hard on him so i dramatized and made it some bid spiel. I know it sucks. Oh well read and kindly review. I own nothing but Jannee
