trappedindarkness: Thanx for the reviews, Diva. Here's chapter three.
Danny lay on the couch with a wrap around his stomach. Sam sat next to him. Tucker was getting Danny some water. Danny had his arm across his eyes. Sam sat with her arms crossed.
"They're going to find out." Sam said to Danny softly. She was talking about telling Danny's parents. Danny looked at her, "No, I can keep it from them." Sam got off the couch and leaned down next to him, "How are you going to explain the blood stained shirt?" Danny shrugged lightly then put his arm back on his face.
Tucker walked in with a glass of water. He handed it to Danny and sat down in Sam's dad's chair. "Sam?" He said. Sam looked up at him, "Yah?"
"Can I crash here tonight? I kind of mouthed off to my dad. I can't go back there. Can I stay?" Tucker gave her the whole 'please save me' look. Sam laughed and nodded, "Yah, you can crash in the guest bedroom." Danny didn't say anything and was breathing hard. Tucker looked at the two of them and said, "I'll go get the room ready." He got up and went upstairs. Sam looked at the clock, it was 7:30.
"Danny?" She said as softly as she could. Danny looked at her again and said, "I should get home, huh?" She smiled and nodded. He started to sit up slowly and winced at the pain. He started to lift himself off the couch, but failed. And of course, to make things worse, the doorbell rang once more. Sam took a deep angry breath and looked out the window.
"It's Jazz." She said to Danny. Danny looked at her, "It's okay, I told her about the powers already." Sam nodded and opened the door. Jazz stepped into the living room and sat next to her brother. "What happened?" She asked while Tucker came back into the room. "Ghost attack, shot bullets." Danny said.
Jazz looked at Tucker than Sam, then back at Danny. "You wanna go home?" She asked. Danny nodded. She and Sam helped him stand up and Tucker picked up his jacket and gave it to Danny, "Here," he said, "To cover the stains." Danny took the jacket and Jazz put it on him. "Thanks Tuck." Danny smiled. Tucker nodded, smiling also. Jazz helped Danny to her car and said thank you to both Tuck and Sam.
"They'd kill you." Jazz said on their way home. Danny nodded, "I know, that's why I'm not telling them." He had his head against the window with his eyes closed. Jazz shook her head and parked in the driveway. "How the hell are we going to get you past them?" Jazz asked him. Danny shrugged, "I could try to climb up the rain gutter to my window, or I could go ghost and fly up to my room." Jazz nodded, "Ghost, now, go!"
Danny turned ghost and flew up to his bedroom and collapsed on his bed. He hit the bed hard, causing a shrill pain to shoot through him. He screamed in pain and Jazz came through the door. Danny was once again clutching his stomach and grinding his teeth. Jazz shook her head, "That's it, your going to the hospital." Danny all of a sudden shot up and gave Jazz a look that sent a chill down her spine.
"Don't." He said between his teeth angrily, "If you do, I'm ruined. Everything will be let out, so don't! And get out! I need to go to sleep!" He yelled the last two sentences. Jazz stood with shock on her face, then shook her head and left. Within two minutes, Danny was fast asleep.
"She's what?!" Tucker yelled while him and Sam waited outside the school for Danny. Some other kids looked over and Sam smiled like nothing was going on, "Shut up! A little bit louder and maybe the whole school could hear us!" Sam whispered to him. Tucker nodded with a look on his face like someone just died. Danny came walk---limping up to his two friends. "Hey." He said hoarsley.
"What are you doing here?" Sam started, "Why didn't you stay home?" Danny leaned against the brick building. He gave a deep breath and slid to the ground. Sam leaned down next to him, "Well?" He looked at her closley, "Couldn't. Parents are home." Danny looked up to Tucker, who was facing the other way, blank. Sam got up and walked over to him, "Tucker?" He shook himself out of it and looked at her, "She's with Ted?" Sam nodded, "Yah, millionth time, yah."
Tucker sighed and sat down next to Danny. "Who? Brittany?" Danny asked. Tucker nodded, "Yah, the friggin football player asked her out this morning." Danny put his hand on Tucker's shoulder, "There's still Paulina." Tucker smiled a little and said, "Yah!---Wait, she's single right?" Danny shrugged lightly, "I don't know, but it's worth a shot, huh?" Tucker nodded again and the bell rang. Sam and Tucker helped Danny up, and then the three walked into the building.
trappedindarkness: Yah, another short chapter. I'll try my hardest to make the next one longer.
