Kevin stomps down his stairs in a blind rage. Never in his life has he ever felt such fury release within him.

He was the laidback one, the calm one, the older brother that was filled with wisdom and cosmic understanding. So if all that was true why did he feel the need to unleash his wrath upon his wife who'd step way way way out of line?

Dear Lord, give me the strength to not burn this house to the ground with my wife still in it.

"So," Dani says, alittle out of breath, as she jogs down the stairs after him, "Are you finally ready to admit it."

Kevin abruptly stops at the last flight of stairs and Dani unknowingly rams into his back. Kevin closed his eyes and took in a deep, deep, breathe that stopped him from whirling around and just choke Dani's slender white neck.

"Danielle Deleasa Jonas" Kevin said as calmly as he could pretend to, "What do you have on you left hand finger"

It was more of a statement then a comment.

Dani looked down at her left hand, confused.

"My wedding ring?" she says unsurely.

"And what does that symbolize?" Kevin says, equally as calm as the first time.

"That we're married?" Dani said in an are-you-dumb-enough-to-ask-this-kinda-dumbass-question voice.

"And what are married people to each other?"

"....stuck together?"

"No"

"Honest with each other?"

"Wrong again"

Dani squeezed her face as she thought real hard, then it hit her like a light bulb. "Loyal"

Kevin nodded his head, still with his back turned to her.

"Loyal" he repeats for clarity's sake. "Why would I marry you and then cheat on you in less than two years?"

"I don't know, maybe you're not satisfied?" Dani said way too quickly for comfort.

"Not satisfied with what!?" Kevin turns around with an exasperated sigh, "You?"

He walks forward and hugs his wife, "I'll never be unsatisfied with my Damsel Dani"

Dani receives the hug for a moment, then wiggles viciously and pushes him away. "Stop doing that!"

"Doing what!?" Kevin uncontrollably yelled.

"Being sweet and loving and caring" Dani yelled back. "It makes all this way much harder"

Dani crumbles to the ground and holds her head, fighting an internal battle that must be very severe from the looks of the stress lines etched across Dani's once sweet face.

And with that thought it scared Kevin tenfold at the idea that he was losing sight of the Dani he formerly knew and she was being replaced with the monster before him.

And the sickest part about all this is that I'm not remorseful at the fact that I just called my wife a monster...

"Makes what harder?" Kevin retorted as an excuse from his wayward thoughts.

Dani's head snaps up, her eyes go wide for a moment but she fought it back. Alittle too late since Kevin had already noticed and picked up on it.

"N-nothing" she answers cryptically.

"What is up with you?" Kevin bends down and holds onto her head, trying to get a grasp on it and the situation. "What is wrong?"

"Nothing!" Dani yelled, "YOU are the problem."

She furiously gets up from her position, nearly knocking Kevin back on his back. "You're the one cheating, you're the one that's being deceitful, and you're the one that's thrown everything away for a night of misguided pleasure. THIS IS YOUR FAULT."

"Waaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Alena's high pitched wailed nearly broke and cracked the very bones on Kevin's body. He already positioned himself to start sprinting up the stairs, but Dani held up her hand blocking his path.

"No" she says viciously, "I need some time with my baby too" she pushes him back slightly and dashes up the stairs.

Kevin recovered quickly from the shock of the scene that just played before him and tears up the stairs after Dani. He comes around the corner just as Dani reaches the door and slams it behind her.

Kevin comes up short and barely stops himself from slamming into the bare wood face first. He lifts his hand to slam it against the door but instantly stops himself for fear of scaring his daughter more. Kevin presses his ear against the door and hears the soft coo of Dani and the silent whimper of Alena as she calmed down.

Kevin took a deep sigh of relief as his body relaxes and goes limp next to the door. Before he could stop himself he unconsciously knocks the door hard with the flat of his knuckles. It hurt like hell but it felt good, the pain was a welcomed distraction. The sound resonated but he doubted it was loud enough to disturb Alena.

Kevin turns from the door and takes slow thudding steps down the stairs, every step down sinking him more and more into depression.

What the hell could he do?

How could he fix this?

He ended up in the empty kitchen with Nick's gifts awkwardly resting on the counter. Kevin walks over and lifts the gifts individually. Kevin smiled to himself as they were all a form of tiny love from his younger brother.

Tiny...love...

A person doesn't know you love them till you show them....

The thought ignited something fierce within Kevin.

Something damn close to hope.

His eyes land on the small yellow sticky notes him and Dani normally leave next to the burners. They twinkle as he grabbed them and when on the hunt in search for a pencil. He found one under the couch in his office/recording studio/man cave/ jam corner/ hiding spot from Dani.

And it just hit Kevin that he actually had a place in his house that he used to hide from his wife. Although nothing would surprise him now. After the afternoon he had he doubt anything would faze him from this day.

Just wait till Alena wants to date, we'll see...

And that though alone made all he went though with Dani seem like dog shit. Alena dating was something that made Kevin's heart want to throw up.

Hey dude, you've got 14+ years to worry about that...and even then we can add 6 more years.

As Kevin walked to his bed room he wrote several messages on the sticky notes and stuck them at any surface that was closest to him. He made sure they had a straight line of sticky notes on the path between Alena's room and their room.

There was several messages ranging from "You are the most beautifully unique person I've ever meet" to "The light of my music life".

The there were the simple one like "I love you" or the artistic one, "Love you do I". although upon reading it a second time Kevin assumed that that one might confuse her but he left it on the wall anyway, he needed as many messages as possible to get Dani's attention and most preferably convince her.

He hoped it worked.

He prayed it worked.

For what was he to do without his precious Dani?

He would flatten mountains and tear the moon from the sky to make things right and have things go back to the way they were.

Back to Dani and Kevin.

Kevin and Dani...
