Part Two

Danny sat on the couch in his living room and waited for Jazz to come home. He was going to confront her. The living room was dark and cold. Danny couldn't be bothered to turn on the lights, and it started to rain about an hour after he came home. His stomach grumbled because of the lack of food, and Danny was reminded that he hadn't eaten since before he went to Sam's house. Danny stood to make his way to the kitchen to warm up some leftover food from last night's dinner. He stepped towards the kitchen, but just then, the door opened, and Jazz stepped in, waving to someone as she closed the door, no doubt Sam or Tucker.

Danny sat back down and watched as she removed her damp coat and hung it on the hook by the door before putting her shoes in the corner. "Hello, Jazz," he said. His sister yelped and spun around to find him in the dark. Danny reached over and turned on the lap by his chair, and her eyes flashed to him.

"Danny, why are you sitting in the dark?" She asked nervously.

"Nothing, I'm just doing some thinking, you know," he replied far more calmly than he had felt.

"Oh, um, well. That's nice." She replied with a nod, heading towards the stairs.

Danny watched her until she was on the stairs before speaking again. "So, where were you today?" He asked, and Jazz missed the stairs and stumbled.

"Hanging out with some friends, doing boring stuff. You wouldn't be interested," Jazz replied with a nervous chuckle.

"Really? What kind of boring stuff?" He asked, and Jazz's eyes darted around the room before finally landing on the bookshelf.

"Reading, we started a book club." She replied, sounding more confident this time.

"A book club? What book did you read?" Danny asked, leaning forward and resting his elbows on his knees; he knew she would lie.

"Um, Uh...Romeo and Juliet?" She replied, sounding more like she was asking than telling him.

"Ah, a book of betrayal between family and friends, how fitting," Danny said, staring at her with a slight glare.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Jazz asked with confusion written on her face, and Danny shook his head.

"The way Romeo and Juliet betrayed their family by marrying each other, how the nurse betrayed them both. Does it not sound familiar to you?" He asked, and Jazz shook her head.

"I know about you, Sam, Tucker, and Dan," Danny snapped, tired of playing around.

"I don't...We didn't," Jazz started, but Danny cut her off.

"DON'T DENY IT. I SAW YOU FOUR TODAY IN HER LIVING ROOM KISSING EACH OTHER," Danny yelled, and Jazz winced.

"That wasn't us." Jazz said, still trying to deny it.

Danny shook his head and looked out the window at the raindrops. "How could you? I'm your brother. Yet you go and plan with an evil version of me to get rid of me." he asked, hurt in his voice.

He heard Jazz scoff and looked back at her. " You aren't my brother," she said, and Danny froze.

"What?"
