Reunited

It's almost reaching 5pm. They could have arrived to Danny much earlier if it wasn't for the fight. Hoping Danny isn't bothered by the wait.

The bus stops next to a nearby stop. Through the window, a small number of students inside as the bus opens. Only a few leaving out. Amy and Joe coming out of it. Once out, the bus closes its doors and drives off to the next few stops the driver could find.

"Well, we're here." Said Joe as he looks at Danny's house.

They both approach the house. The house is really impressive. That's all they could think about with their eyes, now focused onto the building. Not rich but enough to provide for Danny and his sister. "Man, Danny really bought a lot for this place."

"Don't think I could have afforded it." Amy said. Joe laughs.

"Oh come on, doesn't your mom own some tech company in America." Amy looks at Joe as he laughs over that matter.

"Yes and is the reason why she isn't with me or dad for a while now."

"Oh yeah right, that's why it's only you and your dad hehehe." Amy punches Joe in the arm. A soft punch.

"Hey! What the hell Amy. I just got my ass beat a few hours ago."

"Yeah and I would give you a second one if you don't shut up for a minute." Joe laughs a bit. Thinking she isn't serious about it. Knowing she was joking about it. She wouldn't want to make him more uglier than he is now.

"Right okay. Let's just go see Danny." They both walk to the front gate. The front gate is locked. But a ring bell is on the right side of the gate.

Amy looks at the gate, noticing a car parked past it. Not Jen's. Someone else's car. Probably Gary's as the gate allows guests to drop by to the house. Seems like it allowed Gary to go through the gates and knock on the front door before Danny let him inside.

"Amy, what are you doing?" Joe asks.

"Just looking at the house." Joe doesn't mind. He turns his attention back into the doorbell. From there, he presses the button, causing a ringing sound from there.

A loud ringing sound. Making Joe think it could cause his ears to burst. As he puts both hands, covering his ears. Amy looks at him. Laughing over what he's trying to do. Joe looks at her back. Not finding it funny at all. After waiting for a few seconds, now turned to minutes, no one comes out of the door.

"Press it again." Joe presses the doorbell. Once again, a ringing noise coming after it. Bothering Joe again, except Amy who doesn't mind the noise coming out of it. No one comes out of the house. Amy thinks they're sleeping or went for a walk. Joe, in his fun, sarcastic mind, thinks they're deaf.

Joe presses the doorbell again. This time constantly. Pressing it many times till Amy grabs his hand. Finding it really annoying over what Joe is trying to do.

"That's too much."

"Too much in order for them to hear the doorbell hahahaha."

"Oh shut up." As she gives him another soft punch on the arm. Joe moves a bit, rubbing his arm. Finding it a bit discomforting.

Inside the house, Danny, hearing the doorbell, comes out of his chair, going into the window to see who's outside the front gate.

Looking through it, he sees Amy and Joe. Amy and Joe have been outside the gate for a while. Just now realising he allowed them to drop by his house based on a phone call he had with them, goes to Jen and Gary.

Jen looks at Danny. "Who's ringing the doorbell?"

"It's my friends. I called them while you were sleeping. Just before Gary dropped by. They asked me if they can drop by and I said yes. So... here they are now." Jen and Gary look at each other. Like parents, looking at their child and unsure of having people coming at their house, and yet being unsure who their child's friends are.

"So umm, can I let them in?" Jen becomes unsure but Gary, doesn't mind. He whispers to Jen.

"Let them in. You let me in, now let Danny's friends come in." Jen moves her head away from Gary for a bit.

"Sure. You can let them come." Danny becomes excited. Getting his jacket, putting his shoes on before coming out of the front door. Happy to see Amy and Joe again.

"Hey guys." "Hey man." "Hey Danny.

Danny inserts the key into the front gate. Twisting it before it opens. Allowing Amy and Joe to come in. As Joe comes out of the front gate, Danny notices something off with his face.

"Hold on." He observes Joe's face. Filled with cuts and bruises. The blood on his face has recently been washed off.

"Holy Shit, Joe what the hell happened to you?" Joe looks at Danny.

"Oh it's nothing." Amy looks at Joe. She was there when Joe gained those terrible wounds on his face. Joe looks at her. The look Amy is giving her, enough to freak him out a bit.

"I'll tell you once we're inside." Danny, who could only just look at what just happened to his friend, agreed.

They walk to the house. Danny, grabbing his key again from his pocket, inserts a different type into the lock. Twisting it to the right and the door opens. Once inside, Danny closes the door, inserting the key back into the lock before twisting it to the left, locking it up. Ensuring no one tries to go through the door.

Danny allows Amy and Joe to hang their clothes on the left side wall, taking off their shoes and placing it in where Danny and Joe's shoes are.

"Okay welcome to my house, you're free to do whatever umm, you want to do." Amy smiles at Danny.

"Thanks."

Jen and Gary walk to where Danny, Amy and Joe are. Wanting to know what they look like and for Jen to know who they are. Their names and all.

Danny, seeing Jen and Gary together, introduces his friends to them. "Jen, Gary, these are my friends Amy and Joe. Joe and Amy, this is my sister Jen, and this guy next to her, is my sister's friend Gary. Or should I say... boyfriend." They all laugh. Gary and Jen become awkward about it. Putting their heads down with their eyes, focused on the floors.

"Very funny Danny. Anyways, welcome to our house and feel free to do what you guys want to do." Turning her eyes onto Danny. "As long as you don't cause any trouble here." Danny looks at her back, understanding what she meant.

"Don't worry Jen, we won't do anything wrong hehe." 

"Good."

"So guys, what do you want to do?"
