While the day that Danny and Sam previously spent together was very romantic the rest of the week was completely awkward between the two. Sam seemed to be completely avoiding Danny, everytime he saw her she would glance and him then walk away. She barely talked to him during lunch and ignored all his texts. Their anniversary was only one day away so he thought he would try to break the ice between them by inviting her and Tucker to their usual place at the mall, she agreed but after an hour when they agreed to meet there only Tuck was sitting with him sipping a milkshake and sharing fries.
"Danny, it's been an hour don't you think you should at least call her? I mean she did agree to come right?"
"She's probably just stuck in traffic or something..."
"Even if she was she would have been here by now. Aren't you worried about her?"
"Of course I am but I've been bugging her all week I don't want her to get annoyed with me."
"Wait you haven't seen her all week? But your anniversary is tomorrow! Does she even know to come to your house yet? Please tell me she does, I had to pull so many strings to get the park open for you guys!"
"Well actually I was going to tell her today but… maybe I should call her"
Danny grabbed his phone out of his pocket and dialed Sam's Cell number. The phone rang several times before Sam answered. Holding the phone away from her face she yelled, "Don't drop that you idiot, that's important! I swear to god!" she then proceeded to bring the phone to her face without knowing who it was. "Hello?"
"Hey Sam, its Danny. Uh, what was all that screaming about?"
"Oh hey Danny, sorry about that I was um, nevermind. So whats up?"
"Well you were supposed to meet Tucker and I at the mall an hour ago, are you still coming?"
"Oh my god! Danny I am so sorry, I totally forgot! Just let me finish this and I'll be over there in like 5 minutes."
"Oh so you were just busy? Thank god! I was starting to get worried. I'll uh see you later then."
"See you then, Bye."
"Bye I lo- hello? Hello?" He looked at his phone and she had already hung up. "She hung up on me. Tuck I seriously don't know whats gotten into her. Do you think she found someone else?"
"Danny, all your worrying is starting to freak me out, you sound like a chick."
"Shit! I do."
Ten minutes later Sam had finally arrived and all the fries were gone and Tucker had finished his milkshake. "Hey, sorry about that I had to get some things straightened out with my parents, they didn't want me coming here but I don't really care. I mean since when do I listen to them anyway? So… Where's Danny?"
"Well as you may have guessed Sam, Danny had some ghost duties to attend to so he should be back soon. I asked him if I should come but he said to wait for you to show up. You know he's really been concerned about you lately. He thinks your cheating on him or something."
"WHAT? I would never do something like that! What gave him that idea anyway?"
"Well, You haven't talked to him all week, he says you've been ignoring all his texts, won't answer his calls, you don't even say hi to him in the hallway! Not to mention the fact that you haven't even acknowledged the fact that your guys' one year anniversary is tomorrow."
"Oh my god! Tomorrow? I mean I never really was into that sort of thing anyway, but why does it have to be tomorrow?"
"What's so bad about tomorrow? Wait, you're not actually cheating on him are you?"
Completely ignoring the question Tuck asked Sam put her head down in regret and sorrow. Its not like her to cry and if she started, she didn't want Tuck to see it.
"Tucker… you see I-"
"OH GOD!" He said cutting her off "You're not pregnant are you?"
"WHAT? NO! Danny and I haven't even- that's not the point, the point is that I'm going to break up with Danny tomorrow." Sam could feel the tears coming but she held them back.
"What the Hell? You're going to break up with him? On your anniversary? Why?"
"Listen, this is the last thing I want to do but I have to. The truth is, my family's moving. Out of the country… and I can't handle a long distant relationship like that. That's why I was late, we were packing up the last of our things. Tucker… Tomorrow's my last day in Amity Park."
Tucker who had flown from his seat from the shock of Sam breaking up with Danny, could no longer even hold himself up and just fell right back into his seat. A long silence followed before he managed to get out any words.
"Sam… We've been friends since middle school. I knew that we would all have to go our separate ways eventually but we're juniors, I thought we would have at least one more year together. I never thought I would actually want to cry over something that involved you."
"Oh thanks, Tucker."
"No I mean I love you, as a friend, but I just never thought you'd actually be leaving. Sam, you can't do this, It'll kill Danny!"
"I know, and that's why I was gonna wait until tomorrow to tell Danny."
"Tell me what?" The two jumped at this sound, they hadn't even realized that Danny was back.
"I missed you!" Danny said sitting next to Sam and giving her a kiss. "So what were you going to wait to tell me?" Sam quickly took the sorrow out of her voice and yelled. "Well I would think you of all people would remember Danny! Our anniversary of course! I was gonna wait to tell you Happy Anniversary!"
"Wow, you remembered! I thought you weren't into that kind of thing. But speaking of I had something planned so did you want to come over to my house around six tomorrow?" At this point Tucker was completely silent trying to hide anything that would have given away that something was wrong… but he wasn't doing a very good job. "Umm… Tuck?" Danny asked "You okay?"
"Huh? Oh yeah heh heh. I was just thinking about this new software that'll be coming out for my PDA, its gonna be wicked cool!"
After a good fake smile Tucker looked at Sam as if sending her a mental message saying 'Good luck'. After all, she was going to need it.
