Sisters In Distress

I Don't Want To Talk Anymore

Stephanie stayed in her room over the weekend and rested without talking to anyone. Every time DJ tried to talk to her she would shut her down and yell for someone to come in and make DJ leave her alone. Danny, Jesse, and Joey had a short talk with DJ about bothering Stephanie so now she was on the couch watching tv and waiting for Stephanie to come out of her room. There was a knock on the door so she got up to answer it.

"Gia?"

"Yeah, Hey Deej, where's Steph?"

DJ sighed. "In her room, but we're not allowed to bother her."

Gia rolled her eyes and walked past DJ into the house and started for the stairs. "Maybe you're not." She scoffed climbing the stairs. DJ followed behind.

Gia threw the door open and saw Stephanie in her bed reading a magazine. "Really? We get into a car accident and I haven't heard from you in three days?!" She yelled as DJ walked in the room.

"Hey. I'm glad you're okay. I was gonna call you back, but I've mostly just been sleeping." Stephanie nervously chuckled like she always does.

"There are like sixty hours in a weekend. You couldn't wake up for two and give me a call?!"

"There's seventy two hours in a weekend." Stephanie corrected.

Gia huffed. "So, I'm bad at math, and that just means there was more time you coulda called me! I was worried about you!"

DJ watched thinking she may have been wrong about Gia.

"Look, Gia, it's okay. We're home now and we're fine."

"No, I'm fine! You haven't be fine for like the last year." Stephanie looked over at DJ then back at Gia and opened her mouth to say something. "No, shut up! I don't want to talk anymore. I want you to listen! You have a full house of people who care about you! I have an apartment in a bad neighborhood and a mom that is barely home because she is busy working her butt off! I know I walk around all confident and you and I didn't get off on the right foot right away, but you have quickly become my best friend and like my favorite person and now that you're in my life I don't want you to leave, in anyway! Okay?! You are not allowed to leave me! And you are not allowed to leave your family, because having a big family that loves you and cares about you is rare, like four leaf clover rare, so you have to knock it off with this self-hate crap and enjoy what you have!" Gia took a deep breath. "I know I can be reckless, but you've been careless lately and you're Stephanie Tanner, the most caring person I have ever met so you being careless is just, it's not cool." She sighed deeply.

Stephanie sighed too. "Gia-"

"No. I said I didn't want to talk. I said what I had to say and now I'm leaving. My arm is killing me and I just want to go home and rest, but you better call me later!" Gia yelled then she stormed out.

DJ watched her go then she looked back at Stephanie. "I'm here if you want to talk." She offered, but Stephanie shook her head and went back to her magazine.

DJ sighed and left the room. She walked downstairs and saw Gia sitting on the couch. "Gia?"

Gia stood in front of DJ with her arm in a sling and a bruised eye that was still healing. "Sorry. I'm sorry about the guys in the car."

Before DJ could reply Gia walked to the door and left the house.
