Chapter 02: Changes
.
While the eldest daughter of the Fenton family slept comfortably in her hospital bed the Fenton males on the other hand were in quite the hurry to hide all the prove of Danny and Jazz true relationship this of course was another foolish idea of Jack, their own father who was so worried that such revelation could cause her to have a mental breakdown and worsen her situation to an irreparable point.
.
Maddie on her side was too busy dealing with the lawyer of the man who almost had her daughter killed due to his drunkenness, what probably bother the woman the most was the fact that this man walk outwith merely a scratch and without even spending a day in jail while her child was left in a five day coma only to wake up with amnesia, unfortunately Maddie was just far too concerned with Jazz treatment and the lawsuit she had against the drunk to actually see the ridiculous actions of her husband and son.
.
As the morning sun arrive shining bright above, Jazz woke from her slumber soon to sat up with a loud yawn follow by a deep sigh as she came to realize she had still not recall a single moment from her pass days, with slow and sluggish steps the redhead made her way to a nearby sink to wash her face, soon as she finish splashing cold water on her face she heard a soft knock at her door making the girl turn over just in time to see her doctor walk in.
.
-"Good morning miss Jasmine, how are you?"- question her doctor as he walk over to her to give her a quick check.
.
-"Much better than yesterday at least"- answer the girl with a bright smile as she return to her bed.
.
-"I know it only been a day but have you remember something... anything?" question doctor Bradley hoping her condition had improved overnight yet the red hair girl only look at the man, without words she shook her head in disagreement.
.
-"i see..."- continue the man as he for a moment thought in going against the wishes of his patients parents.
.
-"um, listen about your boyfriend... he's..." Bradley was interrupted by Jack who burst open the door with a loud "Good morning Jazziness!"
.
Waking up everyone in the hospital, the doctor was quite so annoyed by the abrupt entry therefore he gave up on telling the girl the truth as he walk up to the Fenton family, soon after the proper paperwork were done the hospital discharged the girl, on their way out Maddie pick up the medicine Bradley had prescribed, the middle age doctor could only watch at the odd couple walk away with their young daughter.
.
"I wonder how she's going to react when she finds out"- said the man almost in a whisper to no one in particular with some amusement.
.
Walking hand in hand, Danny guided his "girlfriend" to the family RV follow by the ever prying eyes of their parents, needless to say she was drown aback by the strangeness of the family vehicle, -"i know it looks weird but it's safe... i think"- said Danny as they boarded into the RV.
.
While they ride home the girl look around the streets in hope she would be able to remember anything but even when her fool of a father drove down the same street she had her accident, Jazz was unable to even flinch at the place where she almost die. Though Maddie was about to scold her husband for driving through such a place, this thought died out when she noticed that her daughter didn't notice where they were. After a few more minutes the family arrive at their destiny.
.
-"This is a rather unique house"- said Jazz as she stare into to the odd structures on the rooftop as well as the enormous neon sign.
.
-" um, sweetheart, whats that"- question the girl while she pointed to the second building on top of the house.
.
-"That's the emergency ops center... sorry but i don't really know much about it"- answer Danny unsure if he should be talking of things only family should know despite him been part of said family.
.
It was strange for the boy to act like a guest in his own house, the very same were he grew up yet for Jazz sake and well being, he would pretend to be the perfect boyfriend at least in front of her, this of course was also in preparation for when he got a real girlfriend, he would then know what to do, he even put his best table manners during dinner, nonetheless it did bother him to have most if not all of the family photos where he appears to be hidden in his now lock room, Danny wonder when his mother would take action and clear this whole mess up yet that apparently would take a while.
.
Once dinner came to an end Danny help clean up, something he wasn't quite used to since he would go normally to his room to do "homework" or other personal stuff, his mother on the other hand more than welcome this new found attitude on his son, after helping wash the dishes all the family gather to watch t.v in the living room, though both Jack and Maddie were more interested in their kids behavior more so than their favorite show, Danny had his arm wrap around Jazz while she comfortably laid her head on his shoulder.
.
-"This is going too far, we should tell her the truth"- whisper Maddie to her husband.
.
-"No, you heard the doctor, no stress or it will confuse her, i don't like this anymore than you"- reply the large man with a stern voice. He soon gave his wife a kiss in hopes of calming her down.
.
Suddenly Danny's phone rang forcing the teen age boy to pick up, -"hey Sam what's up"- answer Danny as he started to chat with his best friend mainly complaining about school, after a few more minutes he hung up.
.
-"So who's Sam"- ask Jazz somewhat annoyed for she could tell it was a girl's voice on the other side of the phone, the boy smile at her as he reply with, "an old friend", he could feel her grip on his side tighten up.
.
-"Oh dear she's jealous, how cute"- all in the room thought Danny included.
.
-"Well it's getting late Danny-boy"- said Jack out loud without warning, both the kid and his mother knew what that meant.
.
At the door Danny said his goodbyes to the family yet Jazz didn't settle with a simple goody-bye for she walk up to the boy and gave him a strong kiss on the lips almost as if she was claiming property on him, Danny could slightly feel her tongue trying fruitlessly to gain entry in his tightly seal lips, his arms were dangling to the sides, his mind was going blank yet before long Maddie clear her throat very loud forcing the girl to removed her lips from the boy.
.
-"So see you tomorrow at school"- said Jazz with seductive eyes and a smoothing voice to a pale looking Danny who had a hard time trying to process what just happened.
.
-"About that sweetheart, i talk to the school board and got you a few days off"- said the girls mother stepping in between the two.
.
The older woman just like her husband fear that her harsh school activities would cause her too much stress since she already had enough trouble getting around the house, even if her mother dislike the idea it seems that Danny somehow work as a stress relieve for the redhead.
.
The raven hair boy walk almost like a robot towards the needlessly huge RV sooner than later Jack and Danny were on the road driving to Danny's new apartment, the large man gave a sympathetic look to his son for he wonder if he was doing the right thing, certainly his heart was in the right place but his mind was still in debate, the boy hope his new place would be somewhat modest where he and his friends could hang out in relative peace though it worried him if his "girlfriend" would want to spend time there as well, after only a twenty minute drive they reach the apartment complex.
.
-"Well it looks like a dump"- said the raven hair boy to his father as he got out the vehicle while his illusion were thrown in the garbage, in front of them was a small complex building of two stories, slightly ran down with very few occupants.
.
-"Just bear it for a few weeks your mother is gonna come over to help you clean and cook"- reply the man to his son as both hope Jazz would be better in that time.
.
Hardly a week had pass after the hospital release her when Jazz was back in school, her teachers welcome her with open arms, but not so much her classmates since their disinterest was more than notable when she was "reintroduce" in the class, most were rudely chatting or playing on their phones, the redhead quickly realize she wasn't much appreciate in her class as the day went on she also come to realize she really didn't have anyone she could call a friend at least in the classroom.
.
Since Jazz was in a more advance grade than Danny they had different lunch times so they almost had no time together, when school was finally over she took her time to look around while she waited for her "boyfriend", in hopes she could come around something that would help her remember who she was, as she tour the building she happened to walk in front of the principal office, next to its door was a large sideboard protected by a glass frame.
.
-"Honor student Jazz Fenton"- read one of the many certificates with her name on it, this caught the attention of the redhead as she started to read the signs on the rest of them, to say the very least there were nearly twenty certificates and science trophies with her name on theme.
.
-"Honor student, first place in almost everything except sports, the teachers adore me and i even got an awesome boyfriend, no wonder the kids hate me after all i'm in a completely different level from them"- thought the redhead with arrogance and pride.
.
It was surprising how fast two weeks went by, it was hard for the Fenton family to deal with the eldest daughter amnesia and to help her remember who she was without telling her the full truth, yet it was even harder for Danny who had to keep his fathers blunder a secret to his neighbors, to the school and specially to his friends Sam and Tucker who quickly pick up on his unusual behavior but the greatest surprise was for Danny who found out that Jazz turn out to be very touchy with him as well as very clingy spending almost all day long with him.
.
Due to the strange situation their father created Danny was somehow force to leave the house now staying in a more than modest apartment complex courtesy of "dear uncle" Vlad, something Danny wasn't very fond of since he didn't want to owe the man anything, on the other hand he was getting a much more handsome allowance though most of it end up for living expenses. It was at night when he could rest of his sister now girlfriend incessant love this of course after receiving many messages to his phone if not a long chat, after two more weeks Danny, Sam and Tucker finally had some time for themselves, as usual they would meet at Nasty Burger much to their female veterinarian friend dislike since the main serving is variety of meat in buns yet she always order the same unhealthy salad.
.
-"Hey Danny... you hardly hang out with us"- said the goth girl, hiding the thought that her best friend was facing more dangerous ghost fights and didn't want them to get hurt or involved.
.
-"Yeah man, i get your sister had a bad accident and all, but shouldn't you give her some space, you two are together almost all the time, she's not gonna break apart or something"- continue his technology obsessed geek friend, harshly implying the large amounts of time those two spend together.
.
His Gothic friend turn to look at him with a smirk drawn on her mouth -"Didn't know you were so clingy and overprotective, Danny"- said the Gothic girl sarcastically while pushing him with her elbow making her best friend and secret crush blush madly at the remark, as they made their way to the counter to order their meals.
.
-"Listen guys i know we haven't hang out lately, Jazz been having a hard time after all and..."- Danny doubt for a moment if he should tell them the truth but he realize that he's with his friends and not some strangers, not only would they understand they might even help him overcome this whole mess.
.
-"Guys... after the car accident Jazz... lost her memory..."- continue Danny with a sheepish voice as they all sat near the window, both Sam and Tucker were shock to hear this for they had not expected something of this magnitude yet before they could say anything their raven hair friend started talking again.
.
-"... And well ... my dad... he and the nurse got Jazz very confuse... by saying that... she's..."- Sam and Tucker were about to have a heart attack with the suspense Danny was making.
.
-"That... she's... my girlfriend..."- Tucker immediately burst out laughing very loudly, a thing that bother other teens that were eating nearby, Sam on the other hand was on the verge of a real heart attack, though she quickly compose herself.
.
-"So i imagine you already told her the truth, right, after all its been about a month or so since then."- the young goth question her friend only to see him nervously nod in sign of denial.
.
-"Care to tell why?"- continue the young Gothicgirl with a more upset tone while she grin her teeth.
.
-"... Well it's not that easy..."- was her friend only reply. Before she could say anything more, her attention was pull towards the entryway.
.
-"Seems like your girlfriend is here Danny..."- said the dark hair girl with a cold voice and dark eyes while she pointed with her nose towards the door.
.
Danny took notice of the strange change on his friend's voice and attitude yet it was oblivious to Tucker who was still giggling like a foul. As soon as Jazz walk into the Nasty Burger she instantly spotted Danny sitting with his friends, the girl couldn't help but smile widely and cartoon like.
.
-"Ah, there you are sweetheart"- Jazz said out loud making her way towards Danny something that made him feel uneasy yet strangely happy, it wasn't often a "hot" girl would call him sweet names, she quickly approached the table there she saw the young colored male giggling very oddly but she dismiss it as normal but what really caught her eye was the pretty black hair girl sitting in front of her boyfriend.
.
As soon as she reach the table Danny got up to greet her with a kiss on the cheek, -"i guess he's really into his boyfriend role"- thought Sam with certain disgust towards the whole scene that lays before her eyes.
.
-"Hi, my name is Jazz Fenton, nice to meet you"- said the red head girl as she greeted Tucker with a gentile handshake and a nice warm smile.
.
-"It seems they don't know me or at least were not acquainted"- said Jazz in her head, as the dark skin boy presented himself.
.
-"Likewise, the name's Tucker Foley"- said the teen with cheer in his voice.
.
Her hand went over to Sam, the smile on the older girl remain drawn on her lips yet she gave Sam a firm and tight handshake unlike the one she gave to her male companion, at the same time the redhead look straight into the goth girl's eyes. Jazz eyes felt much more like daggers that pierce her soul than actual eyes, it was almost as she were staring straight into the gaze of a madman or worse yet, it certainly made the goth very uncomfortable.
.
After the proper greetings were exchange Jazz join them on their table sitting next to her boyfriend as one would expect, nonetheless Danny run over to the counter to get his girlfriend a drink, the brief moments the young boy had left them were strangely quiet. Once Danny return with the drink, the male teens soon started to talk about the most recent online game they been playing meanwhile the girls remain in an awkward silence, Jazz was looking and carefully listening to every word Danny spoke, Sam on the other hand kept her gaze to the outside of the window as if whatever was outside was far more interesting than what her friends were talking about, yet she remain unable to shake off the dilemma her secret crush had foolishly walk into.
.
The Goth drown herself in thoughts, -"why didn't he just say the truth, sure his father can be an idiot at times and surely he could have said something like, ' oh i'm not your boyfriend, i'm your little brother, ha ha ha,"- thought Sam as she childishly imitated her friend voice inside her head.
.
-"And whats with that kiss, not even close siblings give a hello kiss, goddamn that was so weird, just before the accident they barely talk to each other and they didn't even hang out, whats more when he got his ghost powers they grew even more distant, at least that's what i saw... wait... does she know of his ghost powers? i don't think she does... and that odd look she gave me, what's up with that?"- the goth mentally argue with herself.
.
-"You said your name is Sam?- spoke the red hair teen with boredom in her voice making her young companion jump out of her train of though, turning her attention over to Jazz at that moment she notice both Danny and Tucker were gone yet before she could ask about them.
-"If your wondering about the boys, Danny went to the bathroom and Tucker step out following some cheerleaders...- continue Jazz with the same bored tone almost as if she had read the goth girls mind while she kept her eyes bury into her cellphone.
.
-"I know this is awkward but Danny told us about your accident and...your memory lost"- said Sam with the most friendliest voice she could muster.
.
-"Did he now"- was the reply Jazz gave with her eyes still glue to her phone and a voice fill with indifference almost as if she didn't care who knew about it.
.
-"So you've been friends with Danny and Tucker for long?"- question the redhead teen still unable to look away from her phone.
.
-"Yeah, since elementary school"- Answer Sam.
.
-"Oh..."- reply Jasmine still with her gaze absorbed on the phone, a thing that started to bother the goth girl.
.
Before Sam could say something she would eventually regret Danny came back from the bathroom almost as if on cue, he ask about Tuckers whereabouts though he got the same answer as Sam there was a mayor difference, Jazz quickly put her phone away so she could look straight at him, she kindly smile while she answer with a happy voice and explained to him how Tucker ditched them in order to get a date, Danny laughed it off saying it was typical of him to do so and that she shouldn't mind at all.
.
For the following hour all three teens spoke some high school nonsense, yet Sam notice how Jazz ignore her completely, pouring all her attention unto Danny, carefully cutting her off mid sentence whenever possible and in a way making subtle verbal pushes against her as if saying "go away," it was in such a manner that their male companions would not notice or at least that's what she thought. All of the sudden Jazz phone started to ring, on the other side was her mother who reminded the teen of a certain appointment.
.
-"Honey, you didn't forget about your medical check up today, did you?"- upon hearing this the redhead girl click her tongue clearly upset with what her mother just remind her.
.
Since she was having such a good time with Danny but what really bother her was that now she had to leave her boyfriend with this Gothic girl even though they were no more than friends it still bother her for a reason she couldn't point out, perhaps it was just an unfunded jealousy therefore she rule it out as been overprotective of her boyfriend.
.
-"Danny, sweetheart i have to go, i completely forgot about my medical check"- said Jazz trying her best not to look bother by having to leave, she specially didn't want to seem clingy after all, boys tend to dislike that, despite her been stuck to Danny much like a leach even if she didn't want to accept her doing such a thing.
.
She turn over to Sam as she extended her hand, with a kind and sweet smile she took Sam's hand yet just as before she held it tight and firm, it was clear she wanted to make her presence well known to the young and much to the elder girl dislike cute Gothic girl. Sam was very surprise at this sudden change in character of the redhead for the whole while they were together she discreetly treated her like a nuisance and now she was all friendly and kind, even sweet.
.
-"I'm so sorry to leave so suddenly, but my mother has call to remind me of a medical appointment today, so if you excuse me"- said Jazz with a gracious and charming tone of voice.
.
-"... Hey, uh... no problem"- answer the goth girl feeling quite so uncomfortable.
.
Though Sam comes from a rich family she never even once behave like a lady of high society, she was a free soul in a matter of speaking, free to do has she please, to be different of other and not some pretty, brainless doll like her mother wanted, yet it bother her to see that Jazz who comes from a much more modest family can speak with such property, to even behave so ladylike and yet not seem like a shallow and pretentious girl.
.
Not really wanting to leave Jazz made her way out of the burger joint, eventually she reach the corner turning around it leaving the Nasty Burger out of sight due to her accident the redhead wasn't allow to drive her car at least for now, therefore she had to resource to walking or to use the public transport, not that she mind though.
.
-"Keep calm Jazz, that girl is only Danny's friend and no more than that, no reason to worry or fret"- thought the redhead teen, reassuring herself of the obvious.
.
It did take her an almost inhumane amount of will power to not run back at him, the rest of the day went on as one would expect, Tucker had return still dateless, some minor ghost fights here and there, that went slightly sore since Sam was quite so distracted by something neither Danny or Tucker could point out. As night arrive Danny wave his friends goodbye soon after he made his way back to his new home through the skies.
.
-"Man, it's kinda sad to came back to an empty house"- Said Danny to no one in particular as he phase into his humble home while remembering just how absent his parents were.
.
Before and specially after Jazz accident, though the main difference now would be that he had to cook and clean for himself even if he was very bad at it, nonetheless his mother would swing by during the day and leave him lunch and dinner ready if she wasn't too busy with her own affairs, which left him dealing with breakfast and house cleaning.
.
The young ghost boy look around the humble and modest apartment he had, it consist of a small living room an even smaller kitchen, an old bathroom and his bedroom. It was quite empty since he didn't really have many personal possessions aside from his bed, some furniture and his computer, yet his father brought him a small TV and an old couch they had in the garage.
.
-"Can't really say this a bad situation"- Danny said to himself since he came to enjoy very much the new found privacy and the liberty that came with living on his "own", even if he still got money from his parent and the apartment was own by his dads best friend Vlad. The doorbell rang, Danny thought it was strange since it was past 9:00 pm.
.
-"... I hope it not some ugly fat old neighbor thinking he can get some "favor" out of me since i live alone"- thought the young kid recalling all the porn comics he's been reading online now that he had no parental supervision, upon opening the door indeed he saw and old guy.
.
-"Good evening, little badger"- said Vlad with that scary look that's so usual on him.
.
-"... Evening, Vlad. What do you want?"- replay Danny crossing his arms along with his teenager attitude.
.
-"oh, what's the matter little badger, can't a landlord come and see his favorite tenant"- continue Vlad as he invited himself in while placing his hand on Danny's shoulder.
.
-"Please be good and make me some tea"- basically order Vlad, surprisingly the ghost boy comply to his visitor request.
-"Black tea, right?"- more than the unexpected visit, it bother the boy a lot more to know Vlad's favorite tea and even more to have it stock in the kitchen.
.
Meanwhile on the other side of Amity park, Sam the Gothic girl was having her own share of problems -"... Damn it why do i feel so jealous and whats with this cursed feeling of inferiority, i'm not like this"- Sam curse herself in front of the mirror wearing only her bat stamp underwear.
.
-"hell if pull my hair into a pony tail i actually look like a boy... Jazz breast are bigger than mine and she has more curves than me..."- continue Sam as she glare and curse her boyish body, it was indeed the first time she actually had this kind of thoughts, before she would have brush them off by saying.
.
-"They were concerns of a shallow girl who had no confidence in herself."
Now those same words came back with mighty force almost as if she was been beating up by thugs, Sam look into her closet, within was only black and dark color clothing, nothing she or Danny would consider "cute", it took her aback to realize she was overly concerned in looking good for a guy, she was doing exactly the same thing the shallow girls she so much hated did even so she kept looking for something nice to wear.
.
to be continue.
