Hi everyone! This is my first story, so please no flaming! R&R!

Disclaimer: Danny Phantom belongs to Butch Hartman. Crush belongs to David Archuleta. I don't own either one.

Summary: She never realized falling in love with her best friend would be the greatest thing that had ever happened to her.

Crush

She sighed, a small smile sliding onto her face as she hung up the phone. Sam Manson paused for a few minutes, sitting on her bed. She finally reached over and picked up a picture on her nightstand. A fourteen-year old boy stared back at her, baby blue eyes meeting her lavender ones. Jet black hair hung over one eye and he smiled sheepishly. Sam tilted her head to the side, wishing Danny Fenton was there with her.

I hung up the phone tonight

Something happened for the first time

Deep inside it was a rush, what a rush

'Cause the possibility

That you would ever feel the same way

About me, is just too much, just too much

She didn't know when these feelings had started. All she knew was that she had fallen in love with her best friend. And it sucked. Besides, it wasn't fair to him. He already had a girlfriend. Valerie. Sam frowned at the thought. After all, Danny was half-ghost, and Valerie was a ghost hunter. You had to admit, they kind of made a weird couple. But it made Danny happy, so she didn't say anything.

Why do I keep running from the truth?

All I ever think about is you

You got me, hypnotized, so mesmerized

And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone

All that we can be, where this thing can go?

Am I crazy or falling in love?

Is it really just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?

Are you holding back like the way I do?

'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away

But I know this crush ain't goin' away

Goin' away

They stood in the mall the next day, Danny, Tucker, Valerie, and Sam. Danny had his arm around Valerie, who looked like they were getting married; that was how happy she looked. Sam sighed, shoving her hands into her pockets.

Danny looked up, concern written all over his face. "You okay?"

Sam just nodded.

Has it ever crossed your mind

When we're hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends?

Is there more, is there more?

See it's a chance we've gotta take

'Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will

Last forever, forever

She wanted to tell him, she really did. But she knew it was hopeless. There was no way he would feel the same way. Tears slid down her cheeks and she quickly brushed them away. I hate this.

They meet at school the next day, Danny telling his best friends about his date with Valerie that was yesterday. Sam just pretended to listen. In a way, she didn't care about the date. But Danny was happy. She was sad, but obviously Danny didn't care.

"Danny?" Sam paused, and Danny turned around to face her.

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

Then Danny did something that surprised her. He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. When he pulled back he was smiling. "I was hoping that you would see that Valerie and I were just 'dating' to show you how I felt about you."

Sam returned the smile and reached forward for her new boyfriend's hand. Maybe falling in love with your best friend wasn't so bad after all.
