Bad News

Dan POV

"Phil? Have you seen my tripod? I can't find it anywhere." I yelled to Phil, who was on his computer in the living room.

"You let Jenni borrow it." He yelled back and I remembered giving it to her a few days ago.

"Hey Dan? Can I borrow your tripod? I forgot where I put mine." Jenni asked, adorably looking up at me from her seat.

I immediately melted and told her she could. "It's in the top left drawer of my desk." I told her from the other room when she went to grab it.

"Thank you so much." She said giving me a kiss on the cheek and leaving. No, we haven't started dating in the past week or so but things like that have become common protocol.

"I'm gonna go pick up my tripod. Be right back Phil." I told him after popping into his room a moment.

I was walking up the endless stairs to Jenni's flat when I saw a face I recognized.

"Hi Mrs. Lester" I said, waving and walking next to her up the stairs. "You know Phil and I's flat is next door right?"

"Yes I do, I'm going to see his sister." She replied quietly, as if she was hiding something.

"Sorry, but isn't Phil an only child?" I asked, standing in front of her so we could make eye contact.

She sighed, "When Phil's sister was born, me and my husband separated due to him and I constantly getting in fights. So, we decided to divorce and I took Jenni and married another man, while also pretending to be in love and happy with Phil's father. Neither of them know of this, but I will be telling her tonight." She stated sadly.

"I hope this isn't rude, but who is your daughter?" I asked, keeping my voice down.

"You know Jennifer right?"

Joe POV

After I dropped Aviary off for the night, I called Alfie and asked him to come have a drink with me to celebrate.

"I can't believe you proposed so soon." He said, finishing off his second beer. I however was on my fifth.

"Well, I love her man. It was destined to happen." I said, ordering another beer.

"Aren't you worried about kids? Your future? YouTube?" He asked, leaning against the counter.

"Well, I never thought of kids and stuff. She's gonna want to wait *Hic* a while *hic* right?"

"Probably not. You know how women are." He said chuckling.

I don't know if it was my drunken state or if I was actually feeling this way but I became extremely stressed about our future as I got my eighth beer. I suddenly began to feel my left side become limp and my vision became blurred. I then felt extremely lightheaded as pins and needles ran up and down my right leg. I tried to tell Alfie what was going on but it just went on in a slur. I tried to stand to get out of there and to a  hospital but I immediately fell and saw Alfie running to get someone before my world went black.

Jenni POV

"Sorry Babe I have to go." I said to a tired Caspar sleeping next to me.

"Tiffany don't go Babe." He said groggily trying to put his arm around me before I threw it on the bed.

"Who the heck is Tiffany?!" I screached, waking him up more.

"What are you talking about Jennifer?" He asked, putting his hand through his hair.
