Once Danni left Killian andf Alex's place, she finds herslef heading to school, still in her get-up from the party. After some time passes by Danni is sitting in a tree fetal position around the outside of the college campus. Hearing the sound of a skateboard…… it stops. Noticing Danni in a tree while he was gliding down the street on a longboard, Brandy stops and looks up at Danni, who looks up and slowly waves; Brandy kicks up the board, putting it in his book bag and starts to climb up the tree.
Brandy- “ ...Danni? What’s up buddy?”
Danni- “....Hi..”
Brandy- “ What’s up? Need to talk?”
Danni- “ it’s just stupid stuff.”
Brandy-”.. Well you’re in luck, stupid stuff is my specialty.”
Danni- “ Fine.. what would you do if you liked two people?”
Brandy- “ … Ah k.. …… uhh, who do you trust the most? Why do you like those people? Think who have you known the longest? Who do you prefer to be around? And here’s the biggie , who do you think or know will make you happy in a relationship?”
Danni- “ That’s just it, I’ve known Killian longer, but I enjoy Jacobs company because we’re both theater brats.”
Brandy- “ … You like both Killian and Jacob? For how long?”
Danni - “ Crap I said their names….. Uhh yeah I liked Jacob when I first saw him at the theater for auditions, and I liked Killian kinda when he started going to the cafe.”
Brandy- “ Why do you like them? And who would you rather hang out with alone?”
Danni- “ I don’t want to talk about this anymore.”
Brandy- “ Okie dokie…if you do wanna talk about it, just come to your friendly vegan therapist.”
Danni- “ ….. Sure…just being alone with one of them is awkward.”
Brandy- “ Not sure what to say to that, but just be yourself around them and see how things play out, maybe and hopefully you’ll figure this out and tell whom you like.”
Patting Danni on the head, she looks at Brandy who smiles softly.
Danni - “ That’s just my problem, I don’t know what to say.”
Brandy-” Talk to them about something you both have an interest in, like with Jacob theater and with Killian…Uh.”
Danni- “ Throwing kids, It’s a long story but don’t worry about it.”
Smiling to herself, Brandy cocks an eyebrow but smiles anyways then looks forward.
Brandy- “ Well if you like throwing kids too, you two can talk about that.”
Danni- “ Not specifically kids, just the ones that piss me off.”
Brandy- “ There you go. Conversation starters!”
A silent pause, Brandy looks at Danni who’s eyes turn into the mixture of coral and sunset red.
Danni- “ I relate to Killian and Jacob is nice.”
The next day:
While Zach, Danni and Nikki are at work; Killian hangs at the theater with Alex who’s nowhere to be seen, Brandy walks up to Killian who is off for the meantime, until his afternoon class.
Brandy- “ Wanna hang out with me this weekend?”
Killian- “ ….why? with who else?”
Brandy- “ Well Alex works this weekend.. So maybe with Danni and Jacob?”
Killian-” …..no..”
Brandy- “ Please?! You won’t regret it, it’ll be fun.”
Killian- “ ...fine….”
Brandy- “Yes! 1:30pm at the city mall.”
Running off to find Jacob who is in the back getting ready to rehearse. Killian turns glaring at the wall with a tired look….....
Brandy- “ Hey Jacob!”
Jacob- “ Yo.”
Brandy- “ Wanna hang out with me , Killian, and Danni this weekend?”
Jacob- “ Yeah okay.. Why ?”
Brandy- “ Just to hang with me.”
Jacob- “ Yeah okay, what time?”
Brandy- “ 1:30 in the afternoon, city mall”
Jacob- “ Okay see ya then.”
After getting them two to agree to hangout, stepping to the side of the stage Brandy texts Danni.
<Brandy-“ Wanna hang out with me this weekend at 1:30 P.M? You know for another therapy session?”>
<Danni-“ Okay sure, where?”>
<Brandy-“ the mall.”>
<Danni-“ I’ll be there then.”>
At the mall on a Saturday: 1:30pm
Waiting for Brandy to arrive, Danni sits at one of the benches near the front entrance. Hearing her name called, Danni looks up from her phone seeing Brandy walking up wavering.
Brandy- “ Hey Danni!”
Danni- “ Hey..”
Immediately eyeing Killian and Jacob who walk behind Brandy. She begins to sink down a bit wanting to fade away.
Killian- “ sup.”
Jacob- “ What’s up?”
Brandy- “ So where do you guys wanna go first?”
Killian- “don’t care.”
Jacob shrugs as Danni thinks to herself [“I wanna disappear…”], glancing at Danni, Killian gives an odd look but turns his head when Brandy patted both his arm and Jacobs.
Brandy- “ Well it’s past lunch so wanna go to the food court?”
Jacob- “ Sure.”
Danni forever in agony. Killian just goes along. Heading into the mall, they go to the food court and get some pizza from one of the vendors; Danni leans to Brandy and whispers
Danni- “ I hate you..”
Brandy- “ You’ll thank me later.”
As she rolls her eyes and goes to sit at a table, Killian looks over at Brandy and then Danni thinking [“ what’d he do this time?”]
Danni- “ So I wanna die..”
Jacob looks at Danni in concern.
Killian- “......why?”
Brandy smiles at them all as he rests his chin on his hand. Watching the others eat their pizza… as only he and Killian don’t eat, only having water.
Danni- “ What a great therapy session, your vegan wisdom is so wise..”
Killian- “therapy session?..”
Jacob- “ What are you talking about?”
Danni-” Nothing.”
Giving an awkward smile, Brandy sips on his water while the other two finish eating. After they eat, they start to walk around, not really going into many of the stores. That was until Brandy thought of an idea, he smiles.
Brandy- “Hey there’s a new game out in that game store called ‘ mortal kombat 2.’
Having the plan in mind, Brandy pushes Danni and Jacob into the game store near them as they stopped walking, getting himself alone with Killian as they’re alone with each other.
Danni & Jacob- “ Ok?.....”
Brandy- “ While you walk around in there Killian and I are going to that store over there.”
Pointing to FYE as Killian huffs while Brandy smiles at him.Killian keeps his hands hidden in his pockets, thinking to himself [“do I get no say in this?”]. Brandy grabs Killian and pulls him to the store, as Danni and Jacob look around in the game store. Asking about the new game, tragedy hits..
Store employees- “ Sorry, we're out of MK2.”
Danni sighs in defeat after she was excited to get a new game, then Jacob taps on her shoulder.
Jacob- “ You like DC?”
Danni- “ Yeah I do.”
Jacob- “ Do you know what Injustice is or do you have it?”
Danni- “ Know it , don’t have it.”
Jacob- “ They have one, It’s a pair for both.”
Going to the counter with the game, Danni smiles at Jacob with coral red eyes, as she quickly pays for the video game. They leave and sit on a bench talking about the upcoming play and video games in general.
Walking in the store, Killian and Brandy stay quiet… as Brandy turns and smiles at Killian who quickly glares at him.
Brandy- “ So how’s my bestie?”
Killian- “ get to the point.”
Brandy- “ I can’t fool you can I? K, going straight to the point, what do you think of Danni?”
Killian- “…..huh? she’s easy to be around....”
Brandy- “ So you like her?”
Killian- “ yeah, she's a friend.”
Brandy- “......Hmmm..friend.. Any stronger feelings towards her?”
Becoming suspicious, Killian looks Brandy dead in the eyes, not breaking away, knowing exactly what he’s up to.
Killian- “ whatever you’re trying to get me to say or do. stop before I break that twig of a neck of yours.”
Brandy- “ Okay, no prob… sorry.. I’ll stop.”
He smiles at Killian who walks out the store. They meet back up around a couple of benches near an area of vendors.
Danni- “ We found Injustice in a pair.”
Jacob- “ Anywhere to go next?”
Walking around more.. quietly, while Brandy skims his eyes around until he notices a vendor selling knives and other stuff.
Brandy- “ Hey! Danni, Killian look pointy things!”
Suddenly grabbing both their arms he pulls them to the vendor, Killian annoyed as Danni just goes along.
Danni-” I’ll just roll with it.”
Killians goes along with Danni and looks at what the vendor is selling. A minute goes by as Danni finds a batarang shaped knife and goes to buy it.
Danni- “ You like cats and violence?”
Killian-” ...I guess...”
Pointing to brass knuckles shaped like a cat head, Killian looks through them, Danni smiles at Killian who smiles back, noticing her eyes change to the familiar sunset red. They both sit at a bench catching up while talking about the things at vendors, meanwhile Brandy dragged Jacob to a music store.
Brandy- “ So… Jacob, what do you think of Danni?”
Jacob- “ She’s nice.. Why?”
Brandy- “ I’m just curious, so what do you like about her?”
Jacob-” Nice, fun to be around, she’s weird, she likes music, we like the same kind of music… she’s pretty……………...wait fuck..”
Brandy- “ So.. what I hear is that maybe you like Danni? ”
Jacob- “Noo…”
Brandy- “ Don’t lie to me. So tell me more about your feelings.”
Jacob- “ I don’t even know you.”
Brandy- “ We work together.”
Jacob- “ Not often, I don’t see you that much.”
Brandy- “ I’ve measured you several times..”
Jacob- “ Okay.. do we have to talk about it now though?”
Brandy- “ Sure.. we can talk at work about.”
Jacob-” Anywhere else? You know Danni is there?”
Brandy-``Yeah sure, give me your number, we can talk over the phone.”
Jacob sighs, giving Brandy his phone number, immediately regrets it after. Doing more laps around as Brandy continues to give his “wisdom” to the others, they later decide to leave around 4:30P.M.
Killian- “ bye….”
Danni- “ Don’t leave me with the vegan..”
As Danni protests, Killian turns around to give off a smirk then leaves heading to the downtown area of the city.
Danni- “ Fine….. Jacob, please don’t leave me with the vegan.”
They three decide to stick around a bit longer, after a while Jacob heads home so he can get ready for his other job in the morning.
Jacob- “ I gotta go home. Bye.”
Seeing Jacob leave , Danni quickly turns to Brandy, grabbing him by the shirt, seeing him smile at her only begins to annoy her even more.
Danni- “ What’d you do? What did you say?!”
Brandy- “I said nada, only normal chitchat.”
Danni-” Brandy!!”
Brandy- “ Brandy has left the conversation.”
Getting loose from Danni’s grip he takes off, throwing a board down he carries on him in his book bag. Leaving Danni annoyed and confused, as soon as she heads home; opening the front door, she quickly walks straight to her room, slumping onto her bed. Nikki goes over to her sister's door, knocking.
Nikki- “ I took it didn’t go well?
Danni- “ I don’t know what he told them!!”
