"Family Ties"

Chapter 8

*The Next Day*

"So you're leaving tommorrow."Danny gave me a dissapointed look."Yep.Plus I have to go to the concert tonight.""Well I have to go to my mom's tommorrow and I'm leaving at 6am."Then I got one of my brilliant ideas."Hey!Why don't you be my date for the concert?""I don't know.""Please?!?!?!" I begged.I gave him puppy eyes."I don't know if I can."I smiled."Well maybe I can help you know." I kissed him on the lips.He grinned."Okay.I'll go.But only if I get another one of those.""I don't have a problem with that."And I gave him another kiss.But that one was interupted by somebody clearing their throat.I looked up to see Joey and J.C. looking at us.Before I could protest they sat down."Guys you remember Danny." Joey gave Danny a look that said.'You better watch out.'"Yeah.I remember him."Danny looked uncomfortable.Joey gave J.C. a nod.That's when the interagation started."Danny how old are you?""What grade are you in?""Are you even in school?" "Do you have a job?" all of these questions in under two minutes.Danny Tried to answer all of them as best as he could."16.I'm a junior.So I guess that means I'm in school. No I don't have a job.Unless you count helping my dad out here." "Okay Joey are you happy?Can we go now?" I grabbed Danny's hand and stood up."Just so you know.We are going to see a movie.We will be back in time to get ready for the concert.Danny is going to be my date.Be back soon.Bye." As we walked away I looked at Danny."I am so sorry about that.I didn't know he was going to act like that." The reason I didn't know was that Danny was the first guy I ever let Joey meet,Because I was afraid something like that would happen. "J.B. Don't worry about it. I Kind of figured he was going to do that after last night.""Yeah well let's go see that movie!"

After the movie we went strait back to the Hotel so I would have time to get ready for the concert.Danny was going to go to his room on the top floor while I was on the 2nd floor.When we got to my floor I quickly stepped off of the elavator and gave a small wave to Danny. When the elavator doors closed I walked to my room.When I got there I heard someone call out to me."J.B. Hold On.""Oh Hey Justin!I was just going to get changed.""Yeah well J.B. I need to talk to you.Now." "Ummm.Okay just let me unlock my door and then we can talk in my room." I opened the door and flipped on the light."Make yourself at home."He sat on the bed.He seemed to have found the lamp intresting because he started turning it on and then waiting a second before he turned it off. "Justin.What did you want to talk about?" He looked at me with that guilty face he had on the night before."Justin what's wrong?""J.B.I have a problem." "What kind of problem?""Actually a girl problem." My heart sank.Why did he have to ask me for help?Was he trying to torture me? "Really?" "Yeah. I'm sorry.But I can't ask anybody else this." 'Why Not.I think J.C.'s still up."No Justin.It's fine really.So what's the problem?" "Well You see there's this girl.And I like her.And I know she likes me-"'NO!'"-And I was going to tell her. but before I got a chance she got a boyfriend.And I know she likes him too.I want to tell her how I feel.But she has a boyfriend.Should I tell her I like her?"I was going to tell to tell him not to tell her.But I knew what was right. "Justin I think you should tell her.Because at least then she knows how you feel." "You think?""Yeah I do.So who is this girl." 'Because whoever she is I hate her.' "Well actually-." "Oh no Justin We only have half an hour before we have to leave. I need to get dressed Look you can tell me who she is before we leave."And with that I grabbed my shopping bags from the day before and ran into the Bathroom to get changed.After I heard the door shut.I slid down to the floor And put my head in my hands."What have I done?"
