Chapter 7: Pt. 1: Pain

Danny woke up the next morning and felt like he had lost all energy. Then it hit him. He sighed and got out of bed. After he got showered and changed, he went down to the kitchen and saw his sister Jazz at the kitchen table stirring her coffee in slow circles.

Danny sat down and looked at her. There was an awkward silence before Danny spoke up "So, how are you doing?"

Jazz didn't say anything. She kept looking down at her coffee and kept stirring it. Danny sighed and looked down. In his mind he kept on replaying the events of what happened last night. He thought how he could've prevented his father's death, prevented this. These thoughts kept replaying in his mind like a broken tape.

A few minutes passed before they both heard somebody come down the steps. Danny prayed that it was Vlad so he could kill him, but it wasn't, it was his mother.

Maddie looked as if she had aged ten years. Her face was paler than a ghost and she had bags under her eyes. Her hair was mangled and she looked like a wreck. One thing that instantly changed though was seeing her son.

Danny got up and ran over to her and embraced her. He knew that he left without a trace last night and he felt horrible for putting more pressure on her.

Maddie wrapped her arms around her son "Where were you last night?"

"I was um…" Danny hesitated, he couldn't tell her where he was "I was here; I just fell asleep before you two came home."

Maddie thought about it for a minute, she knew that the hospital was way too far away for him to walk. She threw away that thought and just figured that he called a cab. "I'm just glad you're safe."

Danny let go of the embrace and faced her "I'm sorry."

"For what" Maddie asked

"For everything that has happened"

Maddie just gave a weak smile and walked away into the kitchen. There were a million things that could describe the way Maddie was feeling right now sadness, frustration, hurtful, and angry at whoever killed her husband was controlling her feelings.

She walked into the kitchen to get something to drink. She opened a cabinet and saw a bunch of coffee cups. When she reached up to grab one, she instantly grabbed the cup from her old college. She looked at the cup and tears once again flooded out of her eyes like a waterfall. She put the cup away and walked out of the kitchen.

Danny looked at Jazz, she looked like she was about to cry. Danny had never felt so bad in his life. His mother loved his father like crazy.

Jazz dropped her spoon from her untouched coffee and got up and ran up the stairs. Danny looked at her and wondered what she was going up there to do. After a few moments he soon followed her up there.

As he followed her up there he heard a loud slam coming from what sounded like her room. She walked up to her door and heard loud sobs coming from the door. He opened the door and saw his strong sister curled up in a ball crying her eyes out.

Danny walked over to her and sat down, putting a hand on her knee. She looked up and looked directly at Danny "Danny! H…how could this happen?"

Before Danny could answer Jazz kept on talking "We were just supposed to keep him protected! We failed him Danny! We failed him!"

She landed on top of Danny, crying her eyes out. Danny wrapped his arms around her and thought thought of everything, everything that had happened. Even though he had thought of this constantly, nothing could keep his mind from thinking of this.

Finally, after all the thinking, he let go of the tears, the tears that he had been holding all morning. Even though he hated crying, he felt better by the end of crying.

After a few minutes, Jazz finally let go. Danny grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him "Listen Jazz, I will do everything in my power to bring dad back, just give me time! Please?"

Jazz looked at him with a stern face "Can you Danny?"

"I know I can and I will. You just have to trust me!"

Jazz nodded her head "Okay."

Danny walked out of the room and shut the door behind him.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Maddie walked downstairs and into the living room. She sat down on one of the chairs and pulled up her legs and sat in a fetal position. She thought about her husband and how much it hurt her to lose him.

Flashback

Maddie and the doctor walked down a hallway. Maddie kept her mind on seeing her husband. She couldn't let him die, she just couldn't.

"Here's his room, you can stay as long as you like." Said the doctor

"Thank you." Maddie answered

She walked into the room and noticed how fragile her husband looked. She tried her hardest not to cry. She took her hand in his, she didn't feel any comfort coming from him, and it was like all his caring went away.

"Jack, please listen to me." Maddie started, she took a deep breath "Don't leave me. Don't leave your children. We need you!"

She couldn't hold in the tears any longer, she broke down "I…I love y…you." She hesitated for a moment before speaking again "Remember all the fun times we used to have? Well, we can still have all those fun times once again if you stay strong and make it through this."

There was no response, no words of encouragement, no sign; he just sat there with no movement what so ever. Maddie sighed, she felt so helpless and lost.

The next thing she knew the heart monitor started to screech. She looked down at him and stated to cry harder. She knew that there was no way to save him, the doctors already told her that.

The doctors ran in and started to work on him to try to save him. After a few tries they gave up, he was gone.

End Flashback

Maddie's tears started to fall faster as she remembered last night. It was horrible to see everybody's reaction.

She missed everything about him, his love, his laugh, his kisses, his goofiness, everything. Everybody wondered why she loved him, it was either he was too goofy or too unstylish. Nobody really knew him like she did though.

Her thoughts were interrupted by somebody coming down the stairs. She looked over her shoulder and saw her son walking down the stairs. He looked up at her and started walking towards her in a fast pace.

Maddie got up and walked towards her son. When they got close to each other they looked at each other. Danny instantly wrapped his arms around her and started to cry into her shoulder.

"I'm sorry mom! I… I'm so sorry!"

Maddie wrapped her arms around him and cried with him. She didn't know why he blamed himself for what happened. All she knew was that nothing was ever going to be the same.
