Two weeks later and I was in Iowa with my aunt.

"Danielle your brother called."

I sighed and grabbed the phone from my aunt.

"Hey Danny." Jack said through the phone. 

"Hi." 

"Are you doing okay?"

"I'm gonna tell you what I've told you the past two weeks, I'm fine."

"I'm just worried." 

"I know."

"Look, we have another two week break before Magcon down under. And I wanted to know if you wanted to come back to Nebraska."

"Why?" 

"I wanna see you. I want you to come hang."

"Fine."

"We get back tomorrow. Aunt Lia, knows I'm asking. Tell her, she's got a ticket for you."

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow."

He hung up. I walked out of my room.

"I'm going to Nebraska."

She smiled and handed me the plane ticket.

"Thanks for everything." I smiled and hugged her. 

I went back to my room and packed. 

------

I arrived in Nebraska before my brother. So I took an uber home. My parents left to Kansas this time for two weeks.

I found our spare key under the broken brick. I unlocked the door and stepped inside. I dropped my bags and went upstairs to my room. I looked around the room. I was in my closet when I saw J's snow glob. I shook it and watched all the hearts fall.

"Danny!?" Someone yelled. 

I set the snow glob down and ran down the stairs. I saw The Jacks and Sammy.

I looked at J and Sammy, then at my brother. 

"Hey bud." Jack hugged me.

"Hey." I smiled.

"When did you arrive?"

"Few minutes ago."

"Explains the bags."

"Sorry, I wanted to see my room."

"Did you think Mom changed it?"

I glanced at J, "Something like that."

He nodded. 

"Well you guys must be pooped, long plane ride. I'm just gonna grab my bags and be in my room." I said. 

I grabbed my bags and headed upstairs. 

I set them all down and sat at my desk. I opened my untouched laptop. I typed my password in and then clicked on the baby photos file. 

I clicked through them.

"Going through those again?" My brother asked. 

I shrugged, "You need to rest." 

"I wanted to talk to you before I did. " He sat on my bed. 

"Look, I trust that you're smart." He said. He handed me my phone. 

"Why are you giving this back."

"You're seventeen." He said. "You can be friends with whoever you want."
