A QUICK A/N: much thanks to those of you who reviewed. Except FH Fan, whoever you are. It wasn't all that polite to say "I may leave a bad review soon." Constructive criticism is of course accepted, but what you said was just plain rude. Unless I mistakenly read it wrong.

CHAPTER 3

DJ stared at her little sister and Steve, too shocked to move.

"DJ." Steve said calmly, trying to hide the rising panic inside of him. "It's not what—"

DJ held out her hand, motioning him to stop. "I don't want to hear it." she said, her voice quivering. She looked over at Stephanie. The middle Tanner looked as if she was about to cry.

Good, thought DJ. She ought to feel guilty.

DJ ran up the kitchen stairway without another word. She had seen enough. As she walked up the stairs, she tried to get over the shock at what had just happened. How long had this been going on? Have Stephanie and Steve been having a full throttle affair? Or was it just that kiss?

She couldn't bear to think about it.

She walked down the hallway, towards Michelle's room. She could hear loud, hiccupping sobs coming from the inside. Michelle was in the room that DJ had shared with Stephanie up until she was 15. Stephanie went back to her old room after Aunt Becky and Uncle Jesse moved to Nebraska with the twins. DJ now lived in the same room she did when she was in high school.

DJ gently knocked on the door to what was now Michelle's room, temporarily forgetting about her own troubles. "Michelle?" she asked softly. "Can I come in?"

Silence.

"…ok." Michelle reluctantly said. She unlatched the door just wide enough for DJ to walk in. DJ gave a small gasp at the sight of her little sister. Michelle's big brown eyes were red and watery, and fat tears plopped her face.

"What happened?" she asked, concerned.

"Aaron dumped me." Michelle said sadly, staring out the window. She jumped off the alcove angrily. "I feel so hurt! How could he do this to me?"

"You're asking me." Mumbled DJ, just loud enough for Michelle to hear.

Michelle gave her a puzzled look. "Steph told me you and Steve broke up. What happened?"

DJ stared at Michelle in horror.Since when were Steve and DJ broken up?"What!?!?!" she cried. "Who told her that? That's not true!"

"She said Steve told her." Michelle said simply. "She said he was a little upset and that she was trying to make him feel better."

"THAT FILTHY PIG!" screamed DJ in rage. Michelle looked up at her in shock. Such an outburst from DJ was unusual.

2 sets of feet came stampeding up the stairs.

Stephanie and Steve entered the room.

"I'm sorry if we hurt you, DJ." Stephanie said timidly. "I know you two just broke up, but Steve and I would like to make sure you're ok with us being together."

Steve cringed. He hadn't technically broken up with DJ, had he?

DJ stared at the two of them, too disgusted to even reason wit them. "Get out." She said, her voice frighteningly low.

"I'm really sorry, DJ." Steve said weakly. He felt like such a jerk for doing this to her. But why should it matter? He finally had Stephanie!

"Get out."

Stephanie and Steve ran out like frightened rabbits. DJ felt like smacking both of them.

"If there's anything I can do…" Michelle said sympathetically. DJ smiled at her. She longed to be back in high school, to have her life ordinary and simple. Her life had changed so much. She was out of college and now had to worry about finding her own place soon. As much as she wanted to, she couldn't live at 1882 Gerrard Street forever. She wished she could. She wished Steve hadn't been snatched away from her from her little sister. her little sister, who she had once been so close to. She had lost any respect she had hadfor her completely. she was so unbearably hurt by both of them.

The more she thought about it, she hadn't just lost Steve.

She hadlost Stephanie, too.
