Thanks for the reviews and here's the next chapter.
Chapter three
Dash parks across the street from Danny's house then sees that Danny is asleep.
The jock tries to wake him up by saying, "Danny. Danny, wake up."
Slowly Danny opens his eyes.
"Dash," Danny whispers and slowly blinks. "Why am I so tired?"
"I don't know," Dash says. "Can you make it inside by yourself?"
"I don't think I can get out of the car," Danny says.
"I'll help you," Dash says and gets out of the car.
Dash goes to the other side and opens Danny's door.
Dash pulls Danny out of the car and guides him to the front door.
Luckily, the door is unlocked so Dash just opens the door.
Dash picks up the now unconscious Danny and walks into the living room closing the door behind him.
Setting Danny down on the couch, Dash can't help but feel upset.
Why is this happening to him? Dash thinks brushing a bit of hair out of Danny's eyes. It can't be something in the cigarettes. I had one this morning and I'm fine.
Dash kneels down next to Danny and puts one of Danny's hands into his.
What is wrong with you? Dash thinks.
Suddenly, Dash lets go of Danny's hand and turns his back on the ghost boy.
I'll watch some TV to get my mind off of it, Dash thinks.
Picking up the remote, Dash turns the TV on.
He flicks through the channels until he stops onto the news.
/ 'This just in,' the reporter woman says. 'A ghost is attacking at the city park.' /
Danny opens his eyes and tries to get up.
"What are you doing?" Dash asks turning around.
"I have to go there," Danny says trying to stand.
"What? Why?" Dash asks.
"I… I…" Danny says then faints right into Dash.
What was that all about? Dash thinks as he places Danny back onto the couch.
Turning off of the TV, Dash goes to the linen closet for a blanket because Danny looked cold.
As he gets to the door, Dash sees the front door open.
Quickly Dash hides in the closet and see Jaz coming into the house.
"Danny," Jaz says noticing her brother sleeping on the couch and rushes to his side.
Dash hurries out closing the door behind him.
I swear I thought… Jaz begins to think but her brother's opened eyes pull her out of it.
"Jaz?" Danny whispers as he looks up at his sister. "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same question," Jaz says. "Why aren't you fighting that ghost at the park?"
"Too… tired…" Danny says and yawns.
"Why?" Jaz asks.
"Don't… know…" Danny says.
The front door slams opens and Danny's best friends come in.
"Danny!" They say together and go over to him.
"Hey… guys…" Danny croaks out and he sits up.
"What's wrong?" Sam asks.
"What makes you think that something is wrong?" Danny asks then stifers a yawn.
"Maybe that there is a ghost attack and you're not attacking back," Tucker says.
"I don't think… I could…" Danny says.
"Why?" Sam asks.
"Because… I can barely… stay awake…" Danny says.
"What?" Tucker asks. "Did you get some bad weed?"
"Weed?" Jaz asks.
"Not now, Jaz," Danny says.
"So could that be it?" Sam asks.
"No… I don't… think so…" Danny says. "I've been… smoking the … same stuff… for weeks…"
"Couldn't someone have put something in there that reacted to your ghost half?" Jaz asks.
"Maybe…" Danny says. "Why don't I… get some… of it tomorrow… and see… what's in it…"
"Why not today?" Tucker asks.
"Because today… I'm going… to sleep… early…" Danny says getting up. "Night… guys…"
Danny makes his way up stairs to his room and crashes on to his bed sleeping like a log.
When her brother leaves the room, Jaz turns to his friends for some answers.
"What is this about weed?" Jaz asks.
"Let Danny explain it," Sam says. "He knows why better than us."
"Just tell me how long this has been going on," Jaz says.
"Just since the beginning of this year," Sam says.
"Haven't you tried to stop him?" Jaz asks.
"Yes," Sam says. "Did you think we didn't?"
"I just thought his girlfriend might be able to help him stop," Jaz says.
"Actually we broke up the end of last year," Sam says.
"Oh," Jaz says. "I didn't know that."
"That's ok," Sam says.
"Do you think…" Jaz starts to say but just trails off because she is embarrassed.
"That might have something to do with this," Sam says. "But I don't know."
"Should I tell me parents about this?" Jaz asks.
"You should talk to Danny before you do anything else," Sam says.
"I'll do that," Jaz says.
"We should get going," Tucker says.
"Yeah," Sam says. "Bye Jaz."
"Bye," Tucker says.
"Yeah, bye," Jaz says.
Tucker and Sam walk out of the house.
Oh, Danny, Jaz thinks looking up the stairs. What have you gotten yourself into?
Tucker jumps into the passenger's seat of the black Mercedes in front of Danny's house.
Sam sits in the driver's seat.
"Want to check out the damage?" Sam asks.
"Sure," Tucker says.
Sam puts her key in the ignition and starts her car up.
Putting it into 1st, Sam hits the gas petal and pulls away.
