I Love You More Than I Can Ever Scream

"Mom, dad?" Jasey yelled as we walked into her parents house.
"JASEY!" I heard from the living room. Her mom, Anne and her dad, Rick ran to her, knocking her off balance when they wrapped her in a hug.
"Hi guys." She said hugging them back.
"We missed you so much." Her dad said as they pulled away.
"I missed you guys too!" Jasey smiled.
"How are you..adjusting to everything?" Anne asked. Jasey looked down at her feet.
It was obvious what she meant.
"Okay..I mean everything between Andy and I is..perfect." Jasey said looking at me, and grabbing my hand.
"That's great!" She smiled, "Why don't you two come sit down?"
Jasey, and I had been to my parents house already, and after we talked to her parents I had to do my show, which both sets of our parents were coming too.
We walked into the living room, and Jasey and I sat down on the couch. I wrapped my arm around her, and she cuddled into my side.
"So how is life in sunny California?" Rick asked.
"It's great." Jasey smiled, "I love the weather, and how relaxed it is."
"That's good, sweetheart." He smiled.
"Are we just going to ignore the elephant in the room?" Anne said, sadly.
Jasey sighed, "No."
"What are you going to do Jasey?" She said.
"I'm going to be their tour photographer for now, and I've been offered a few modeling jobs."
"You can never dance again?" Anne said a tear escaping her eye. Rick wrapped his arms around her.
"Most likely not." Jasey said, and I rubbed her arm.
"I'm going to take care of her, always, so don't worry." I said looking at the two obviously frightened parents.
"Thank you, Andy." Anne smiled, and leaned over to hug me. "I'm so glad Jasey has you."
"I am too." Rick said shaking my hand.
"It's no problem at all, I love your daughter more than anyone could ever know." I said respectively.
"How long have you two been together now?" Anne asked.
"Almost nine months." Jasey said.
"Wow, not even so much as a small fight? You've never made Andy sleep on the couch?" She laughed, and so did Jasey and I.
"Never. We had one small little bump but that was when we were still in high school. We've never fought since." Jasey said taking my hand across my lap.
"That's great." Anne smiled.
"So where is Dani, I want to talk to her." Jasey said.
Anne looked weary of her words, "She is in her room, and she hasn't come down in four days. She's been skipping school, and barely eating, I don't know what to do. Everytime we go in there she just turns away from us, and shuts us out." Jasey stood up, and pulled on my hand.
"We're going to talk to her." She said.
"We're? She hates me Jase.." I said shocked.
"So? I'm not doing this without you." She looked down at me pleadingly.
"Alright." I sighed, and we walked to Danielle's room. Jasey pushed the door open, and I saw her lying on her bed. Her hair as matted and tangly. There were tissues all over her bed, and I could hear her soft cries.
"Dani?" Jasey said.
"Jasey?" Danielle croaked out. She popped her head up. Her eyes were swollen, and red. "Andy?" We both nodded softly. She engulfed Jasey in a hug, who responded promptly.
"Are you okay Dani?" She asked.
"No. I loved him Jay! He hit me! I wanted to believe he changed, and that he was drunk but that's just who he is. He is evil..." Danielle gasped, and started crying again.
"Danielle he is a terrible guy." Jasey said, and wiped Danielle's tears away, "A terrible guy that never deserved someone as beautiful, and nice as you."
"How can you say that? After everything I did, and said to you. I acted like such a bitch.."
"Your my sister, and now matter how much you hurt me, I will always love you." Jasey said, and Danielle hugged her again.
"I love you too, Jay. Thank you."
"Your welcome, now please talk to mom and dad? I think there getting lonely.." Jasey said, and Danielle giggled. Jasey grabbed her hand, and we all walked downstairs.
"Danielle!" Anne yelled, and hugged her daughters. I saw Rick stand beside me.
"You know at first, I was convinced you were going to be the trouble maker, and Peter was my future son in law. Now I see I was terribly wrong." He said, and I smirked. "Do you intend on marrying Jasey?"
"I do, sir, but a very long time from now." I said.
"Well you have my blessing whenver you two are ready."
"Thank you sir that means a lot." I smiled at him, and he did too.
"Andy we need to be heading back to the venue the show is in two hours." Jasey walked over to me.
"Oh your right!" I said looking at the time on my phone. We both hugged her parents, and Danielle.
"I'll see you guys tonight!" Jasey smiled, "Your coming right?" She asked Danielle.
"I wouldn't miss it!" She said.
"Great!" Jasey laced her hand with mine, and we walked back to the bus parked in the suburban drive way.
