Brother and Sister

The front gate of the house opens, letting Jen's car pass through before it remotely closes by itself. Seems like Gary is gone now. Passing by, she doesn't have any sight of his car anywhere. Happy he got home safe, she stops her car, near the front door. Danny gets out of the car first. Opening his door and closing it, gently, no damage to occur for it. Approaching the door, he opens the front door. Jen follows behind him. Danny leaves the key behind the front door for Jen to close. Putting her hand on the door, she moves it, before the hearing the noise from the door, signifying its status, being closed, before rotating the key, ensuring it's locked.

Looking behind her, Danny was already gone. Seeing this, she puts her jacket on the hangar. Before walking around to find him, see where he currently is.

Approaching the kitchen, wondering around, to see where he went off to. "Danny, where are you?" Silence erupts for a few seconds, till she heard him. Hearing his voice, from the living room. She walks there, to see her little brother, sitting on the sofa. Looking at him, immediately gets into her mind. He feels a little froze over the events of his time in school. Approaching him, sitting next to him to see what he wants to say. But he doesn't say anything. "Danny, is there something you want to say to me? Like... I don't know, how's your time in school?"

He doesn't say anything. His eyes are mostly focused on the tv. In front of it. Leaving her in the dark. Her own dark, empty space.

She approaches him further, putting her hands onto him, he would respond back to it, letting his arms touch them. Appreciating the gesture, he lays to her. Stroking his hair. "I'm gonna guess it was still about last night wasn't it..." Danny nodded. Still thinking of how to tell Jen over what just happened during the school day. Nevertheless, she heard the first time, having to go through a similar thing of her own.

"Well, you're not alone in this one." Danny looks at her, confused on what she's talking about.

"What do you mean... I'm not alone on this one?" Jen looks at him. Hard to say it to him before letting herself out on what just happened while alone in her house. "There was someone inside your room. Don't know how he... or maybe a she... sounded like." He becomes surprised by it. Unsure who was in his room. But possibly something to answer his questions on one of his missing stuff from his room. One that would end up in their back door garage.

"Did you see what he looked like? Or hell, where did you see him?" Jen gives him a grin. Not even sure if it truly is a man there. "I don't even know if it's a him little brother. Possibly a her. Having some feelings for you. Well not in a good way." They both laugh over her joke. An obsession for Danny, unsure what that person's problem was.

"Okay Jen I get it but can I at least know what that person looked like?" Jen wants to be honest, she did hope she could see that person for the first time. Too dark to even notice under his bed. What not, the only thing she could remember from that encounter was a hand grabbing her leg. Not enough detail to cover it. "Well I didn't know what... it... looked like. The only thing I seen was a hand. Probably worse than you had to go through." With some jealousy, real or not, in her eyes, getting the worse part from that person.

Danny turned his head away from Jen. Not sure what to say about it. Also causing his concern to flow all over his body. Concerned about Jen. "What did it do to you?" Jen starts to hesitate on saying it. Hard to come out on what she wants to say next.

"I freaked out. Moved back and it let go. Didn't want to stay in your room with some creep there so I ran. I ran and made it far away. Before I called Gary." Relieved, despite wanting to come up with a joke for her. Not now but that would be for later. "At least you brought in Gary for you."

"Yeah. I'm happy he was there."

The two sit back. Before Danny looks at her, wanting to say something. "You know, I always noticed something about you when Gary is with you." She looks at him. Confused and awkward on what he's trying to get from her.
