"DO you normally bring girls home when I'm at work?" Danny asked in a harsh whisper as he folded his arms across his chest.

I shook my head, "no. she's the first girl to step in this house with me. she just has some complications. I'm trying to help her."

"what kind of complications? is she a druggie?"

"No. You woudnt believe me if I told you. will you trust me on this?" i asked as i ran a hand through my hair nervously, trying to get it out of my face. danny is only understanting when he knows the entire story of somethng. danny gave me a haRD stare, "Just tell me."

i took in a deep breath, "well i saved her from drowning this morning. after i gave her cpr, she started to freak, telling me not to kill her and then she freaked about her legs. she kept screaming about being a mermaid and i thought she just swallowed a little too uch seawater and it went to her brain but then she ran back in the ocean and when i went to save her because she cant swim, or even walk for that matter, some guy yelled at me and i thought i was being punked or somthing so i decided to just go back to shore since she knew the guy and he wouldnt hurt her and then before i knew it the guy was shoving her up on the sand before dragging himself up with her and he had a mermaid tail and he was a freacking mermaid, danny. they are real. and i watched him swim off. and she was crying about some sisters that cursed her to be human and she was waiting on the mermaid guy to come back and of course they wont come if there are people around so i offered to bring her here so she wont get burned or taken to a government lab. her stomachs been growling so im trying to get her to eat something but all she wants its seaweed because shes on a diet."

danny raised his eyebrow at me, "i think both of you swallowed sea water."

i heard a crash come from the kitchen. i sighed knowing it was olivia. i turned from danny and went into the kitchen to see olivia sitting in the floor with the bag of chicken ripped open, all the chicken fingers around her in the floor, and one in her hand, "i told you not to touch anything!"

"this doesnt taste like fish. i think its a rock." she said as she tried to take a bite out of the frozen piece of chicken. danny chuckled, "you found yourself a keeper."

i sent him a Glare, "this isn't funny, danny. i dont know what to do. please help me?"

danny shrugged, "fine, ill play your little game. the internet is down anyways."
