Danny brought Jo home and smiled at her. "Well I hope you had fun on our first dates of many." Jo smiled back at Danny and that's when he knew that it was real. That this was really happening.
"Why don't you come in?" Jo asked softly with a smile. She wasn't ready for him to leave just yet. She wanted him to stay the night again, even though she wasn't sure if her parents would be okay with it or not. She was eighteen years old, so it was her decision on what she wanted to do with her life.
Danny looked at her and smiled. "We have school tomorrow. It's a Sunday, remember?" After Danny had said this she was reminded that they were still in high school. She found it funny that her dad had let her stay out so late, but she had never gotten below an A on anything except for that B she got on a test in sixth grade.
Jo looked at Danny, not wanting him to leave. "Can't you like go home and get some clothes and then come over?" Jo asked softly, hoping that Danny would agree to do that.
Danny smiled and then shrugged. "I'm not sure if I can do that or not, but I will try to do it. I'll text you when I get home and let you know what's going on." He said as he then leaned in to give Jo a kiss before she left.
Jo smiled back, knowing that there was a possibility that he would not be coming back tonight, but she kissed him softly and opened the door. "Okay. I love you." She said as she closed the car door and started walking up to her house, watching Danny drive away towards his house.

Danny arrived back at his house shortly after midnight. He was shocked when he saw his mom sitting on the living room couch. Their relationship had been pretty weird ever since Vikram died and left 10 million dollars to Danny. Karen, of course, didn't have any problems with spending a majority of the money. She never was good with keeping money and then when she would have financial troubles she would wonder why.
"Where have you been?" Karen asked her son. The tone in her voice frustrated Danny and made him just want to walk away, but he knew that it was better to answer his mom's question.
"I was out. Is that okay, mother?" He said with a similar tone that Karen had used. Hearing Danny use this tone frustrated Karen to no end.
"Danny Desai do not use that tone of voice with me."
Danny rolled his eyes and looked at his mother. "I am eighteen years old, and I am almost done with high school. Not only that but I have plenty of money that I could use to buy an apartment or house."
Karen Desai started laughing and Danny could tell that she wasn't happy with him. "You spent ten thousand dollars on a piece of painting that a kid did."
"I helped the children. All you cared about was looking good in front of people and getting fancy things. You're selfish and I am so tired of living in this house. I can't take it anymore!"
Karen took one look at her son and as calm as could be she said, "Get out of my house. You have almost ten million dollars so you go find somewhere else to live, and don't be coming to me for help because I'm not going to help a selfish person like you. The only reason you can come back to the house is to get your stuff. Other than that I never want to see you in here again." Karen took a last look at her son and then turned around, flipping her long blonde hair. She walked into the kitchen as Danny walked up the steps into his bedroom.
You: Packing as much stuff as I can. Mom kicked me out because I wouldn't tell her where I was, and because I said that I was eighteen and almost graduated from high school. We fought about the money, just like we normally do, and then she told me that she doesn't want me to ever be in the house again. I told her I'd find somewhere else to live and I was taking all of the money with me.
Danny sent the message to Jo and got his biggest suitcase out of his closet. Pulling out all of his drawers in his dresser, Danny packed in as many clothes that he possibly could. He wanted to get as much as possible out of the house in one trip. Danny's phone vibrated. The only reason he decided to answer the text that was sent to him was because he knew that it was from Jo.
Jo: Ohmygod, are you serious! What are you going to do? I can talk to my mom and dad about seeing if you can live here if you want.
Danny loved seeing this text from Jo. It showed him how much she loved him because Kyle Masterson wasn't always fond of Danny.
You: If you wouldn't mind. Just tell them that it'd be until I find my own place to live. I'm sure with ten million dollars I can find a decent place to live.
Danny laid his phone back down, and smiled knowing that he had a wonderful woman that was going to help him. He then started packing more things into other suitcases.

Jo prayed that her parents, or at least her mom, were still up. Lately her mom would stay up late and do pottery, so Jo walked into the shed in the back yard where Tess would do pottery.
"Mom, I'm glad you're up. I need to ask you a question." Jo said softly, but her voice seemed rushed.
"What is it Jo?" Tess asked wondering why her daughter seemed like she was in a hurry to get an answer.
Jo looked at her mom, and Tess could see that something wasn't right. "Danny's mom kicked him out tonight. He's going to find a place to live but he needs somewhere to live until he can find a house or apartment. Can he stay here?" Jo asked as her mom seemed shocked that Karen had kicked Danny out of the house.
"Of course he can stay here." Tess said with a soft smile. Jo gave her a thank you smile and ran out of the shed so that she could tell Danny the good news. The fact that Danny was going to live with her for a while made her really happy, and maybe when he found a new place to live Jo could go with him.
