I know I haven't been able to update on this story, but don't despair, I'm back, having to fight off that annoying nuisiance called Writer's Block. I'm sure some of you have been through that so please understand. Special thanks to DannySamLover20, who has been the ONLY reviewer for this story. :) You know I Love ya ;). Anyway, enjoy, and PLEASE review! It would mean a lot to me, as I like to know the ways in how I can improve.
Chapter 2
Danny straightened his tie and looked in the full-size mirror. He sure hoped that, at least, he would look presentable at his best friend's wedding. If only he was dressing up for his own wedding! Danny smoothed down his pants and forced a smile. He went down the hall to check on Sam.
Sam was having a hard time with her dress. Sure, she loved it, but she was quite unwilling to wear it. She knew she loved her boyfriend, or maybe she thought she did. Deep down, her thoughts kept on leading her to Danny. She really wished he would love her. It's an unfair world. Grow up, Sam, and move on. He obviously doesn't love you more than a best friend, a sister. So stop loving him. You're getting married, for Pete's sake. You love James, and you better believe that. She tried to make herself understand this, but... it was SO hard!
Danny knocked gently on the door, seeking entrance. "Come in," Sam called. She wiped her tears and reapplied her make up. She did not want anybody to see her vurnerable side. It simply would not happen at all.
The door opened to reveal a dressed-up Danny. "Hey", he greeted softly, kissing Sam on the hand. If only that kiss could be placed on my lips... "Hey yourself. What's up, Danny? If you're here to save our friendship forvever, then I'll be honest to tell you that I'll never forget you, and I'll visit often. You can even be there when I have the kids". She laughed bitterly. Oh why did I have to say that? Danny's mouth twisted into a pained smile. "Uh, sure read my mind". The two looked awkwardly into each other's eyes. Then they looked away, unsure to look elsewhere. The door opened to reveal Jazz.
"Hey guys. Ready for the wedding? They're about to start". She threw them both a sympathetic smile. Danny breathed deeply. He would have to face this sooner or later, rather sooner. Sam was getting married, and not to him. Deal with it, he thought to himself. He took Sam's arm and led her out of the dressing room.
Centerfield Altar was an old, Jewish synagogue with a touch of Gothic Architecture. Since Sam and James were both uhh... "dark", the synagogue seemed like the perfect place to wed. Now, if only the tension would rise...
The priest took his place under the white canopy and began his speech to marry the couple. Sam was trying her best not to cry, Danny was trying to not look sad, Tucker and Jazz had sympathetic, and not to mention, suspicious looks on their faces, the Fenton parents were confused, and James was smirking.
(A/N: Readers, I do not know how a Jewish wedding goes, so I'm gonna add a Christian twist to it. Sorry) "We are now gathered here to witness the matrimony of Mr. James William and Ms. Samantha Lila Manson."Sam inwardly growled. Since she was 18, she had legally changed her name to her common nickname, Sam. But nobody seemed to like "Sam" as much as Samantha. "Nobody" were her parents, people who hated her, and the other rich, stuckup upper-class people she despised.
Sam looked into her bouquet and sighed. Then, the doors blew open and a shadow stood in the doorway. Everybody gasped as the shadow moved forward to reveal a young woman with dark, yet striking beauty. She pointed dramatically at James and began screaming, "I don't believe this! I thought you loved me more than that, - that hag!" She strode forward and slapped him on the cheek, so hard, that there was a red palm mark.
"I told you to pretend it, not do it for real!" James yelled out. Then, the whole synagogue gasped. James had been pretending and using Sam, just to get his first love back! Sam's eyes began filling with tears. She grabbed James by the shoulders and began to shake him. "You, you cheating skank! How could you! All that we've been through! And I thought you loved me!" She threw her bouquet away and ripped off her veil. She took one wild glance around the room, and ran out the building.
Danny had gotten up in outrage and anger. He snatched James by his throar and prepared to strangle him. He didn't care if the people were watching; he simply had to avenge Sam. "Dude, I'll handle him", said Tucker, "You go after Sam." Danny nodded and took Sam's direction.
Sam looked around the dead garden, then sat on the marble bench. She took deep breaths and tried to calm herself down. Although she seemed devastated and betrayed, deep down, she was relieved. Making sure no one was watching her ('cause everyone knows Sam NEVER cried), she let loose tears of relief.
Danny went intangible. than sat down right next to Sam and said "boo." Sam looked up and hugged Danny, crying a little more. She wipe her eyes and looked at him. "So..." she trailed off. "So, what? That dog will be done for by the end of the day when I get my hands on him." Danny added, "And I never trusted him".
Dumb ending for the chapter, but its not done yet! Read and review!
