Chapter 8

Daniel took a moment to compose himself, to make sure he was ready. He dusted off his clothes, a pair of cargo shorts and a red T-shirt with a wolf design, with which he wore white ankle socks and black sneakers. He was waiting for Sean to emerge from his room. He had promised the others he would help Sean and Cassidy get over their issues. He had thought about it, seen what was happening and now it all made sense to him. He knew that their friends were thinking in the right direction, but they didn't see exactly what the issue was. He was pretty sure he had worked it out and now he was ready to talk to them, to try and sort this out. As he was already at home that day, he decided to wait and talk to Sean first. It was then Sean emerged from his room, dressed up for the day in black jeans, a dark blue polo shirt, white socks and black sneakers. Sean started when he saw Daniel.

"Oh, hey Daniel, um...something up?" He said.

Daniel smiled. "Hey Sean, um...actually I was kinda hoping to talk to you for a moment."

Sean bit his lip. "Um, I actually have to go and meet..."

"Jamie, Lyla, Kyle and Jenn, I know. They know I wanna talk to you." Daniel finished. "Please, it's important."

Sean hesitated briefly but then, seeing Daniel's expression, he shrugged and moved to sit down.

He wondered exactly what Daniel wanted to say.

"Okay so, what's up?" He asked.

Daniel bit his lip and then spoke. "It's you and Cassidy."

Sean tensed. "We..."

"Sean, please...it's not that, you know Cassidy and I are fine now. I'm actually happy for you guys. It's about the two of you and, what's going on with you, right now." Daniel explained quickly. "People can see it and are starting to talk, Sean. They're concerned about you, your friends especially."

Sean shifted in his set and sighed. "We...we just, it's hard, we keep..."

"Keep thinking about what happened, like Jenn and Kyle after what they went through." Daniel queried.

Sean nodded and then paused.

Daniel managed a smile at that. "Yeah, that's what I thought. You helped them get over it. Sean, please, think about it. Do you and Cassidy really wanna fall apart, over something like this, don't you see. It's just...fear, and the only way to overcome it..."

"Is to face it, you're right Daniel." Sean finished, smiling himself. "You're right, our feelings are the same, it's just fear clouding our judgement."

"Exactly, now um..." Daniel paused and then grinned. "Could you walk over to the shelter before going to meet the others, let me talk to Cassidy before you guys meet up later, I'm sure I can convince her too."

Sean agreed happily and together the brothers left their home.

Arriving at the shelter after parting ways with Sean, Daniel smiled lightly as the door was answered by a familiar face.

"Hi Finn." He greeted the tall young man cheerfully.

Finn grinned widely. "Hey Daniel, what's up, good to see you."

Entering the building Daniel considered for a moment. "Could I uh, talk to Cassidy for a moment, if she's not to busy?"

"Sure, go ahead, she should be in her room, c'mon, I'll show you the way." Finn agreed.

Daniel followed Finn, reassuring him of why he was here. Finn was one of the people who had noticed the changes and felt glad Daniel was on the case.

"Well, if anyone can do it, you can, dude." He said.

Daniel nodded. "I know, I already convinced Sean, just gotta talk to Cassidy now."

Finn nodded and Daniel then knocked and entered Cassidy's room. Cassidy sat on the edge of her bed, clad in ripped jeans, a white T-shirt with black socks and dark blue sneakers, she was restringing her guitar but stopped and smiled upon seeing Daniel.

"Hey, Daniel, well this is a surprise."

Daniel nodded, sitting down. "Yeah, sorry to just drop in, but um...needed to talk to you...about Sean."

Cassidy, like Sean, tensed at that. "Oh?"

"Yeah, about...the issues you guys are clearly going through." Daniel confirmed. "I've seen it and you probably already know, but practically everybody else has too...I've already spoken to Sean, but I needed to talk to you too."

Cassidy sighed. "It's difficult Daniel, after what my dad did, to us...Sean and I are just so afraid and..."

"Exactly." Daniel said quickly. "That's all it is, you guys are afraid...but is it really worth losing what you and Sean have together, just because you're scared, shouldn't you face that fear, take it down together?"

"Daniel, it's...it's..." Cassidy began, but trailed off. "God, you're right, looking at it like that, you're right, Sean and I, we...we can't let fear rule our lives...We need to face it."

"Together." Daniel insisted.

Cassidy smiled and agreed and Daniel let relief flood him, things were certainly on the right track now.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
