Thought 2

Frank's POV

I'm worried, Joe up to something if he would just remove those damn glasses I'd know for sure.

Looking over at Joe I miss him like mad that is one of the reasons why I'm not going back to Dixon I've decided to come home.

When I walked through the door last night I was shocked by the changes in Joe he lost weight and by the quick glimpse I got of his eyes this morning they are dull and lifeless he wasn't like that when I left for Dixon.

In the six months I was gone Joe broke up with Vanessa which shocked me I thought they were going along great, and he stopped hanging around the guys from the letters I got from Biff and Tony it doesn't begin to explain they just told me that once the month deadline went by Joe stopped hanging with them and broke up with Van and didn't deny the rumor that he cheated on her, from what I understood it was the other way round Van had dated Mike before Joe and her ended.

During that time I had met Jody my parents told me to stay and they would keep an eye on Joe for me.

Let me explain one of the reasons why I'm so over protected of my baby brother, it happened when I was six and he was five, I was diagnosed with a lung infection, I lost both of my lungs and while they did the search for a new lung I nearly died they found a match alright it was Joe's and since a person could live with just one, Joe told the doctors to take one of his, they tried to talked him out of it but Joe being who he is told them to just do it that he wasn't going to watch me die while they carried on search for another when he was right there with the perfect match and he was only five.

So you see why I'm over protected of my baby brother?

I know the pain he going through he loved Iola but that love is killing him I have to stop his crazy plan before he puts it into motion.

Keeping an eye on Joe is been rather easy, since I've been home Joe hasn't left the house at all that in it's self in highly unusual Joe an out going sort of guy, always on the go but this quite person in my brother place is not him and I'm gonna get my baby bro back.

Watching as he sits next to mom, mom glances at him with a worry look, like me she has a bond with Joe that some people don't understand at least she doesn't get ultimatums to choose between her and Joe like I did.

Looking over at Callie wondering if Callie realizes what she did, did she want to break up ? Is that why she did it? Surely she knew who I'd choose there no doubt in my mind.

She glances up at me with a gleam in her eye taunting me with a quick glance at Jody she turns aways again.

Sitting beside Joe with Jody on my other side I watch as he plays with the mangled keys that now sits on a chain, after the near theft of them Joe bought a chain and wears the keys around his neck, when he nervous he plays with them just like what he doing now, the chain is a long silver one you never see it unless he brings its out they remain tucked inside his shirt.
