When Jane woke up the first thing she noticed was that the room she was in was no longer organized. It was messy, there were guitars, cables, dirty clothes and all sort of things on the floor. She turned around and saw her brother asleep with messy hair.
"I can't believe it!" She screamed, waking up Trent suddenly.
"Ow, Janey, it's early" a raspy, slow voice complained.
"Trent!" Jane immediately hugged him tightly and he, confused, smiled with his eyes half closed and hugged his sister back.
"I'm happy to see you too, but I still want to sleep, so...".
"I love you! Goddammit, I love you so much! I have to go to school, so I'll see you later when I get home" she left the room running with a smile on her face. Trent, confused but happy, went back to sleep with a smile.
She ran around the house. Her parents bedroom had no one in it. Downstairs the house was empty too. There was no sign of Amanda or Vincent. Jane took a shower, as short as she could, got dressed and didn't even think about eating. All she wanted was to go see Daria. Luckily for her, as soon as she was leaving through the door she saw a short, brunette girl with round glasses, a black skirt and green jacket walking in the direction of her house. Jane ran towards Daria. Her friend looked confused but then didn't have time to do anything more than put an expression of horror on her face as Jane covered her with her arms in a hug that barely let her breathe.
"Uh... I'm happy to see you too, Jane. Though I don't know where is the excitement coming unless you plan on going somewhere else instead of school after this hug" the flat voice of her friend, which lacked of the excitement required for any cheerleader, said.
"Oh god, Daria, it is you!" Jane looked at Daria then covered her with her arms again ". I missed you, I missed you so much!".
"Can I ask where did I go?".
"I'll really have to tell you some things soon. I really have to much to tell you. It's gonna sound completely crazy, but... oh, well, never mind, I'll tell you about that nightmare later. Let's go to school, I feel like today I don't want to be late".
Author's note: I was really struggling with the ending because I kind of wanted to write an ending that wasn't so and they lived happily ever after. But I just would get sad over it (... yeah) however I was really thinking about an alternative ending in which Jane decides to leave things the way they are (therefore never finding out what happened), another in which Mr. O'Neill offers Jane and Charles to be happy like everyone else and they accept it and another in which maybe the devil or Mr. O'Neill lied to Jane forcing her to end in one of the aforementioned endings but that sounded a bit like something too mean to be done by Mr. O'Neill or for him to let it happen. Anyway, sorry about going all happy ending (if you wanted something less of a cliche) but thanks for reading!
