I hopped down the stairs in my pedal pusher jeans and one of my dad's button up flannels. Yes, I realize I had no style back then. Still don't, for that matter. But, anyways. I glanced in the mirror on the way down, smirking at my bruised cheek. I had been suspended for a day, so I was at home instead of at school. I sighed. My mother was out in the field with my father, doing God only knows what. Probably just staring at Daniel's grave, as they now admitted to doing alot. Shaking my head, I walked into the kitchen. Grabbing an apple, I looked out the window, seeing my parents not at Daniel's grave, but walking amongst the corn field. I smiled. My parents loved eachother so much. That really made me wonder where Daniel came in. Who loved whom in that situation? I could only wonder...although, I would ask my mother, some day. Someday...after my father had passed. His time was becoming shorter, and my mother wanted to think of only him. I then turned around, hearing a knock at the door.

I practically jumped over the couch trying to get to the door before the person left. I opened it hastilly, only to see Tina standing there. I immediately started to shut the door in her face, but she stopped it. "I need to see Danny." I looked at her coolly. "He's at school, halfwit." She smirked and shook her head, pushing the door open and walking in. "No, he's not." She started up the stairs. I stormed up after her. "Hey! You can't just barge into my house like this! This is trespassing, Tina!" Before she could answer, she pushed the door open to Danny's room, revealing him laying on the bed. He immediately jumped up. "Tina, Becky. Hi." I glared at both of them. "Nice to know you were here, Danny. I'll leave you too alone." I said, closing the door behind me. But, hey. I could always sit outside and listen to them, right?

"Danny, what's wrong? Why the hostility?" I heard him grunt. "What's wrong? Tina, I told you. I want you to leave me alone. Leave my sister alone, too." "But Danny, why?" He almost laughed. "Why? You come in here one night, talk me into getting drunk with Rafe's beer, which he did account for by the way, and then not only do I get out of my right mind drunk and sleep with you, I tell you things about my family that you weren't supposed to know," So *that's* how she found out. I sighed. I felt a little better. But, hey. She still had the audacity to get him drunk. "And then you say stuff about Rafe and mother mother. And now, you follow me around..like we're an item or something. Like this is..something special." I heard her sigh. "Oh, but Danny, it is. I love you," Pause. A long one. "I'll always love you." He grunted. "Yeah, ok. You can follow me around like a sick puppy dog and tell me that all you want, but don't expect much of a reponse." I heard footsteps walking towards the door, so I got up and ran to my room as quickly as I could. As soon as I shut the door, Danny opened his. "Danny, what are you doing?" "Get out of here, Tina. No one wants to see you." He slammed his door, and I smiled as I heard Tina go downstairs and slam the front one.

A/N: kinda short, but, that's ok.
