CHAPTER 6: D.J. CONFRONTS DANI...
DANI'S P.O.V.
I surfed with dad and Uncle Eric for a while, and then...I came home.
That was hours ago and it was just a little while ago that the sun went down.
I have been in my room since I got home Mom and dad are in the living room.
I have a feeling that they're talking about the same thing everyone is thinking about...
D.J. and Callie.
I told dad when I talked to him at the beach that I felt better.
Well...I LIED!
I feel like I'm losing my two best friends and it doesn't matter what my dad or anyone else says.
I'm trying to be there for my brother and Callie, but...
Do you know how hard that is?
I don't know who I can talk to about what's going on. I can't talk to mom or dad...
I can't talk to Uncle Eric or Aunt Nell.
I used to turn to Uncle Callen, but this isn't exactly something he can help me with and I don't think, Uncle Sam can either.
So when that rules everyone out...
Who do I turn to? Who will be there to listen to me?
I don't think I can talk to Callie or D.J. I mean they are my best friends, but this time...It's about the two of them.
I HATE THIS! I HATE WHAT IS HAPPENING!
I told dad now I will be like a third wheel with D.J. and Callie.
My fear is they will start spending more time alone together and push me to the side.
There is someone knocking at my door now and I just realized that I'm crying.
"C-come in," I said, as I wiped my tears away.
It just had to be one person I was not in the mood to talk to right now.
"Dani, can we talk?" D.J. asked and I laughed. "About what, D.J.," I asked, but I already knew the answer.
"How about the facts that you lied to dad about feeling better today at the beach, about the fact you're still upset about what's happening? Callie and I never meant for this to happen." D.J. told me and I looked back at my desk the notebook I had been writing in.
"Well...there's nothing anyone can do to change what has happened. I just want to be alone right now, okay?" I asked.
Instead of leaving me alone like I requested...
I heard D.J. sit down on my bed.
"Dani, please talk to me. I don't want this to tear us apart. You're my sister and Callie is our best friend. Please...don't let this change anything." D.J. pleaded with me and I looked at him again.
"Don't let it change anything? D.J. everything has changed...or haven't you noticed?" I inquired.
"What I mean is, don't stop being friends with Callie and I over something we can't control." D.J. told me.
It was almost the same thing that dad had told me, but it was still hard.
"I told dad I was fine today and I am...really." I said with a smile, but I could tell that D.J. wasn't fooled.
"Dani, don't try that on me. I know what you told dad today, because Callie and I heard..." D.J. began as he stood up.
"Listening in on other people's conversations?" I asked.
"No, we didn't mean to hear the conversation. Did you forget you were not sitting far from where Callie and I were? How do I know you were not trying to listen in on the conversation between Callie and me?" D.J. challenged.
"At least when I go to the beach and come home...I don't need adult supervision! If you would have had adult supervision that day..." I began and D.J. glared at me.
"You don't know what happened that day, Dani!" D.J. shouted and I stood up.
I was now nose to nose with my twin brother.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw mom and dad standing in the doorway to my room.
