Sisters In Distress

I'm Tired Of It

After a few minutes of arguing and one empty threat to rat her out DJ threw her hands up.

"I give up! I can't get through to you when you won't listen to reason! Do whatever you want, Stephanie! I'm tired of trying to protect you from your own bad choices!"

Stephanie frowned and put her hand on the door handle. "Well I'm tired of having a perfect older sister that I can't live up to." She said then she walked out the door.

DJ huffed and stormed up the stairs to her room.

*one hour later*

Michelle was fed up with not being able to play her game so she went into the kitchen to get a snack. She heard the phone ring and went over to answer it knowing that no one in the living room would.

"Hello, Michelle Tanner speaking." She said.

"Hello. This is Gerti Lighte from San Francisco General, may I please speak with a Danny Tanner. We have a Stephanie Tanner here and he is listed as her father and contact."

When Michelle heard that she gasped and dropped the phone then she bolted into the living room to get her dad.

They were all still yelling at the screen. She scoffed and went to hit the reset button on the console.

"HEY! MICHELLE!" They all yelled. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!"

"Because you are all going crazy over a game and the hospital is on the phone for dad about Stephanie!" She yelled.

Danny immediately left video game mode and went into worried father mode running to the phone in the kitchen and forgetting that they had one in the living room.

"Oh my god. Is she okay?" Becky asked concerned.

Michelle frowned and shrugged. "The lady didn't say, but I hope so."

Jesse stood up and hugged Michelle. "I'm sure it's okay, sweetie."

Joey noticed Danny came through the swinging door. "What happened? How is she, Danny?" He asked.

Danny sighed. "There was a car accident. They won't know anything for sure until she wakes up. I have to get to the hospital."

Jesse put a comforting hand on Danny's arm. "We'll go with you. It'll be okay, Danny. You'll see."

Danny nodded and went to the stairs. "DJ! DJ, get down here! I need you!"

DJ came running down the stairs. "What is it?"

"DJ, honey, we need you to watch Michelle and the boys. Stephanie was in an accident and we have to go to the hospital."

Her jaw dropped. "Dad, I-I have to come, please. I knew- I knew Steph was going out with reckless drivers and I let her. I'm so sorry." She choked out.

Jesse put his arm around his niece. "It's not your fault, Deej. It'll be okay."

"You guys go. I'll watch the kids. Just call me as soon as you know anything." Joey stated.

Danny nodded and thanked his best friend then they all left.

*at the hospital*

Danny was still arguing with the doctor about what they told him. Becky and Jesse were trying to calm him down. DJ went into Stephanie's room to wait for her to wake up.

She ran her hand through her hair for awhile and gently brushed the white bandage on her forehead.

"Steph, wake up. Wake up and tell me it's not true, please, come on Steph."

Stephanie's eyelids started fluttering softly and then they opened.
