"Danny, do you love me?" "Huh? Why the sudden question Sam?" "Nothing," I smiled, "Just answer the question." "I'm busy, can you ask me later?" I left, I knew my heart was slowly breaking apart.


It was a normal day at Casper High, but not for me.

Today…

I'll ask him.

If he says no, then I'll respect his wishes.

But if otherwise…

I wouldn't know what to do next.


Class has ended and fortunately today, Tucker wasn't able to go home with us. It was the perfect moment.

"Danny…"

Danny stopped walking and looked at me.

His eyes are so mesmerizing, I always got lost in those crystal blue eyes…

"Yes Sam?" he asked.

My fantasy got sucked in the void. Leaving me back to reality.

I winced inwardly, it's now or never.

"D…Do you l-love…me?" I stuttered out. I inwardly smacked my forehead, great!

Danny's face held confusion, "Huh? Why the sudden question Sam?"

I knew that tone, he was faking it. I forced a fake smile out of my mouth.

"Nothing," I smiled a little wider to fool him, "Just answer the question."

He opened his mouth for an answer but he was interrupted when Skulker came and scared the people around us.

Danny's eyes glowed green as he transform into Phantom, no one notice him transform because Skulker was doing his part as a ghost.

"I'm busy, can you ask again later?" With that he flew off and fought the ghost hunter.

I nodded, I left the scene. I knew deeply inside, my heart was slowly breaking.


I entered my mansion. Of course, no one was there. They all left and went to New York to fix a business deal with the Lee's. And soon, I'm supposed to follow.

You see, after the graduation, I was expected to go to New York and pursue my studies there. And soon, to take over my grandfather's business. I hated the idea, but I am the only heir of the Manson's, so I have to run the business whether I like it or not.

Danny doesn't know that I'm going away. I only told Tucker. He cried with me that night.

I smiled sadly.

Tomorrow, I chided myself. Tomorrow I'll ask him again.


Class ended quickly today. Tucker was still nowhere in sight. I was wondering if he dozed off or he's too lazy to go to school. I suddenly remember tomorrow will be the last day of school. Then the following days will be Graduation Practice and then finally, Graduation.

I sighed heavily, not because my grades were low but going to New York is near. I caught up with Danny, who seemed dazed.

"Danny?" I asked, I was getting concerned for him.

He looked at me and he smiled.

"Sam, sorry I didn't notice you there." He said.

"It's alright. About the question yesterday…" I trailed, unsure of what to say.

He froze momentarily and then acted casually, he thought I didn't notice. But I did.

"Uhh, what was your question again? I forgot." He lied. I saw through that lie. But I made no motion that I knew.

I faked a laugh and then smiled, "Do you love me, Danny?" my voice seemed comfortable to the question I asked. He was silent. He was thinking, I knew he was thinking.

Danny looked at me with those beautiful crystal blue eyes, "Ask me later Sam. I need to do my English assignment." He walked away.

I sighed, he lied again. I wonder if I'm ever going to have his answer, my days are passing by and I'm not ready to leave yet.


Few Days Later:

It was graduation, I held back my tears, he still didn't answer me. When my name was called as valedictorian, Mr. Lancer stood up. He knew that my parents were not here, so he took the liberty of being the one to be my temporary parent.

After I received my medal, I said my speech. Everyone applaud to my speech as I ran down the stage and joined with my best friends and the others in throwing our cap. Everyone cheered, except me. I cried, I was leaving. Danny looked at me concerned.

"Why are you crying Sam?" he asked. Tucker answered for me, "She's going to New York, you idiot. And you still haven't given your answer!"

I saw Danny's eyes welled up as he quieted down. Tucker knew this was his moment to leave.

"Sam…" he trailed.

I stopped crying and looked at him.

"I'm sorry, but I should've told you sooner..."

"Sam, I love you."

I knew he wasn't lying. He had that serious face.

"I know Danny, but I'm not asking you anymore. I'm sorry too."

My heart shattered, it was then I knew my emotions would be drained out of me.

I knew it was the wrong answer I said, but it would be the best. I wouldn't want my parents putting a restraining order because him. I walked away from him and went home to get my suitcase and rode my limo to my private jet. The Lee's took the liberty of being the one to welcome me when I get to New York.

I cried quietly as the jet plane flew to New York. It was my last goodbye to Amity Park and I broke it.


OMG she said what? OH NO, there must be a continuation! If I get enough reviews. ;) This chapter is told in Sam's POV if some people are confused.
