Freshmen

Inspired by the song "Freshman" by Vervepipe.

Disclaimers: I don't own Danny Phantom, he's just one of my many obsessions that controls my mind and Sanity. Vervepipe owns the song "Freshman"

This is my version Danny Phantom style. Tucker's Story and POV This probably doesn't exactly fit the meaning and events that's in the song but I thought of this when I first heard this song, and the plot bunnies were attacking me so, here. I hope you like.

We'd always been friends, Danny, Sam and I. Although I wasn't surprised at all when the two of them started to date.

"When I was young I knew everything"
"She a punk who rarely ever took advice"

They loved each other, or so we all thought, But Danny was in danger almost every night. He was changing before our eyes, changing to survive. I think he was really worried that if Sam got too close, she'd get hurt, that's why he broke it off.

"Now I'm guilt stricken, sobbing with my head on the floor"
"Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice"

He didn't want to be responsible for her death, I guess he figured that if they broke up she wouldn't be in danger.

"I can't be held responsible, 'Cause she was touching her face"
"I won't be held responsible, She fell in love in the first place"

"I didn't make her fall in love with me." he said trying to justify her actions to himself and me.

"For the life of me I cannot remember"
"What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise"
"For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins"
"We were merely freshmen"

Nothing like that should have ever happened, we were just teenagers

"My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her"

Danny took some time away from us, trying to play it off as no big deal, trying to give Sam some time.

"His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept"

But I guess Sam couldn't take the thought of things never being the same between them. I guess she just couldn't take it. One night her mom found her on her bed an empty bottle of sleeping pills in one hand and a picture of her and Danny in the other.

"Now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor"
"Thinks about her now and how he never really wept he says"

I never saw him cry, but he changed after that, he didn't let much affect him, but now, I guess the pent up emotions are taken their toll on him

"I can't be held responsible, 'Cause she was touching her face"
"I won't be held responsible, She fell in love in the first place"

He'd tried to save her life "I didn't make her kill herself" he sobbed, but his actions ended the life he was trying to save.

"For the life of me I cannot remember"
"What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise"
"For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins"
"We were merely freshmen"

We were so young, just freshmen, too young for any of this.

"We've tried to wash our hands of all of this"
"We never talk of our lacking relationships"

Time went on, we tried to leave the Past, the Pain behind, but every time we thought about having a relationship with anyone our thoughts always turned to Sam

"And how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor"
"We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say"

We tried to get over it, maybe that's what's wrong now. Maybe that's why we're haunted now, Haunted by the things we never dealt with.

"I can't be held responsible, 'Cause she was touching her face"
"I won't be held responsible, She fell in love in the first place"

Danny never meant to hurt her, that's the last thing he wanted to do. He just didn't want to be responsible for her death, and he's never stopped blaming himself.

"For the life of me I cannot remember"

"What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise"
"For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins"
"We were merely freshmen"

I never thought something like this would ever happen, we were just kids. Just a Freak a Geek and a Goth, just three high school freshmen.

"For the life of me I cannot remember"
"What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise"
"For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
"We were merely freshmen"
"We were merely freshmen"
"We were only freshmen"
