She Will Be Loved

Chapter 2: Getting Started

Summary: Sam has a lot to deal with, her grades, her parents, and dealing with insecurity. All that sadness has caused her to do drugs. What she doesn't realize is that the drugs have made her even sadder. Only one person can save her: a determined Danny Fenton.

Disclaimer: The day I own Danny Phantom is the day pigs fly, and since pigs will never fly I will never own Danny Phantom.

The next day when Sam was having lunch with her family she wanted to yell but she just kept quiet and listened to the rain fall outside. Finally she couldn't take it anymore, she asked, "Mom, Dad, what happened between you guys?"

Sam's parents looked at each other and they said, "Nothing, dear, we're fine."

Sam couldn't take it, she yelled, "That's bullshit!"

Sam's grandmother said softly, "Sam, honey, calm down."

Sam didn't listen, she yelled, "If things are okay then why did I hear glass break and you guys arguing again!"

Sam's mom said, "Sam, it's just a problem that Mommy and Daddy couldn't sort out together and we thought that getting a divorce was the best thing for us."

Sam yelled, "What about me? You guys didn't even ask how I would feel if you guys got a divorce! What about me!" Then Sam slammed the door as she ran outside in the rain. She ran all the way to Danny's house. When she got to his house she knocked on the door and waited until Danny opened the door.

Danny asked, "Sam, what are you doing here?"

Sam was about to answer when Danny said, "Never mind, come in, before you get sick."

When Danny and Sam got upstairs Danny asked, "Okay, what's this all about?"

Sam cried, "I hate this! I hate my parents, I hate my life and I hate me!"

Danny said, "Sam don't say that!"

Sam asked, "Why not? What's so great about me?"

Danny replied, "Sam you know you're a great person. You're nice, you're smart and you're a great friend."

Sam said, "If I'm so great then why do I feel so insecure!"

Danny said, "It's just going to take time to get used to what's happening."

Sam sighed and said, "I guess you're right, but I get really insecure when I see girls like Paulina with their perfect life and I wish that I could be them."

Danny said, "Don't, just remember that you have friends and family who you can talk to when you have problems." Sam smiled, nodded, and went home.

That night when Sam was looking for her horror book in the living room she found a cigarette near the couch. Probably dad's Sam thought bitterly. Her first thought was to put it in her parent's room and never think about it again. But all of a sudden another thought came to her head. She knew it was a bad and stupid one but she was so depressed and she felt so insecure she was willing to do anything. Sam went up to her parents room and found the lighter.

The next day when Sam was walking home she reached into her backpack to get a snack but instead she found a lighter and a box of cigars. She looked at the box in horror. Suddenly she remembered what happened last night, she remembered smoking and she remembered liking it so much that she stole the lighter and a box. Even though she tried to resist she just couldn't so she opened the box, turned on the lighter and smoked. When Sam saw Danny she closed her eyes and waited for him.

"Hey Danny." Sam said to him.

"Hey- -" Danny started but as soon as he saw her he asked, "Sam? Since when do you do drugs?"

Sam said, "Lighten up Danny. It's perfectly fine."

Danny asked, "Fine? You do know what that stuff does to you right?"

Sam said, "Relax, besides, I can make my own choices." Then she walked off. Danny stared at her in disbelief, for some reason he knew. He knew that the Sam he knew was gone forever. He knew that in order to save her he was going to have to put a stop to drugs. He knew.

Whoa! What a way to end a chapter! Tell me what you think. Please R/R! Love y'all!
