Chapter 3

It's been you the whole friggin' time?

Sam's pov

I opened my eyes to see nothing but white. I don't remember anything; how I got here, where Danny went, or well…nothing. I looked to my left and saw a white wall with a large window overlooking the city. To my right was a heart monitor, tons of wires, two chairs, one beside the uncomfortable bed I was in, a glass-sliding door with women and men rushing and walking in uniforms with clipboards and other appliances. 'Great!' I thought grumbling nothings into the silent room, 'Great, just great! Pamela is NEVER going to let me walk home by myself again'

Just then the door made a screeching sound and shoes scuffed the floor "Sam?" his voice rang through my ears as I opened my recently closed eyes.

"Danny?" I sighed trying to sit up more so I could hold a good conversation, "What are you doing here? What happened? What I'm doing here? How long have I been here?" I paused my throat closing up "D-did…they take my…b-blood?" oh shit! If they took my blood I'm done for.

Danny stood there for a moment taking in my questions, before he was on the bed, beside me, pulling my into a death grip hug. "Oh god…don't you ever do that to me again, ok?" he whispered into my ear making me slightly shiver.

'Only my Danny could do that to me' I thought wrapping my arms around his neck pulling him closer "I know…err…actually I don't. Mind telling me what happened?"

He sniffed and let go looking at me as if I was insane "You…d-don't remember?" I shook my head. "Well..." he paused moving away from my face tangling his fingers with mine, "we were crossing the intersection and…then…like you froze. I've never seen anyone do that before…accept probably me." He muttered the last part, I was confused and was about to ask him what he meant but he cut me off "I called your name multiple times…but you didn't answer…so I just ran to the nearest store and dialed the ambulance. But I heard tires screeching to a halt and…y-you were hit by a truck." Tears escaped his eyes as he said this 'why though?' I wondered silently to myself. "I told them that and they just looked at me…like I was insane." He finally looked up at me, "Sam…what happened?"

I cursed myself for putting him in this situation "Nothing Danny, just…nothing," I wanted to tell him…but I didn't want to lose him. He was the closest thing I had to my Danny. "I guess I just saw something and didn't notice the car coming."

His eyes turned furious "You're lying!" he stated with a deathly voice. "Sam…I want to know what happened back there! God you are so much like her it isn't even funny anymore!" he said laughing bitterly to himself.

I was totally confused now. I was so much like whom? Who did I remind him of? "Danny what are you talking about?!" I raised my voice a little bit over its normal octave. "Who do I remind you of?"

"You tell me your story first then I'll tell mine," he bargained putting out his hand.

I shook my head "No. I won't put you through that misery, Danny." I stated backing away from his hand as best I could in a bed.

"Trust me…I know mine is worse." He replied still holding his hand out.

"You're going to want to put me in a freak ward if I do…trust me…I don't want to go back." I mumbled hoping he wouldn't hear the last part that slipped through my mouth.

"Try watching your mother kill your father." He challenged.

"Try your older brother being taken away from you, when he's your only comfort." I retorted.

"How having everything you love taken from you just because of some stupid Mexican son-of-a-bitch!"

I gasped "What?" I took a shuddering breath, "Danny, what did you just say?"

He looked at me confused "You heard me." He insisted.

I gulped "Try being…r-raped…b-by-!"

He put his hand over my mouth "S-Nikki?" he asked coming closer to me, tear pooling his eyes.

My eyes got wide as he removed his hand "How…how did you…?" I suddenly gasped; the same blue eyes, the same breathtaking smile, the same raven silk hair, the same name. "D-Danny?" I whispered as realization took over.

"Oh God, I am so stupid!" he cursed himself pulling me into a hug. "I missed you…so much, baby!" he whispered into my ear pulling me closer.

"Danny? It-it's really you?" I asked hopefully once again wrapping my arms around his neck. I felt him nod and the tears came again tenfold. "Oh…I missed you too, Dan!"

He pulled back his eyes red and watery as he wiped my cheeks "I know exactly how you feel." He whispered again, his nose touching mine, his cool breath hitting my chin making me slightly dizzy as it use to when I was younger. "Why didn't you call me?"

I looked at him confused "I did. A million times." I insisted playing with the hair on the nape of his neck, "Your Mom or Dad picked it up every time, and said they'd get you to call back. But you never did." The tears came again "So I quit calling, thinking you had moved on, not wanting to hear from me anymore."

He sighed "I hope they're in hell right now." He muttered. "Kelley probably is, for shooting James and then she shooting herself."

"I'm sorry," I mumbled, "for thinking you had given up on me." I pressed my forehead against his.

He shrugged "S'okay. I would have too, if I was in your spot." He admitted tightening his arms around me "Now, I don't know about you…" he breathed pulling himself closer to me, "…but I have been wanting this for a really long time." His voice was husky as he leaned in closing the gap between us.

I felt bad for forgetting the texture if his lips and how gentle he was when it got intense. Our lips moved in sync as he cupped my cheek and moved his hand to my back pulling my bottom half closer.

Cursing the need for oxygen we pulled apart, gasping for the much needed air. Smiling slightly, I pecked him once more on the lips and then pressed the button for the nurse. "Might as well tell the Doc I'm awake…better yet, alive." I said as he growled at me for teasing him. I laughed aloud as he tried to get in another kiss.

"I thought you missed me," he pouted his eyes accusing me with false feeling. I sighed and kissed him once more on the lips before the glass door opened, revealing a dark red-head woman, about late twenties, and sparkling green eyes.

"Oh…good you're up." She practically cheered.

"Yea…how long have I been out?" I asked curious again.

"Oh lets see…you got here Thursday and now it Sunday…so its been here for about four days tops." She beamed down at me.

"What's the damage?"

"Let me look at your, Sam." Danny answered this time pulling the clipboard from the end of my bed, "You have…three fractured ribs, a broken ankle, a gash in the back of your head and multiple bruises and cuts on your arms, legs, face." He paused and smiled slightly at me "Could've been much worse."

I smiled back at the double meaning of his words "True, Danny." I glanced up at the nurse who was frowning at a paper in her hand, "Something wrong?"

She looked at me in question "Um…your blood does not match Pamela's or Jeremy's. Care to explain?" she asked suspiciously.

I nodded "Yea, sure. My parents died before I really knew them and Pamela and Jeremy are my parents dearest friends, so they took me in after I was dubbed a orphan." I explained simply.

"Ok…" her voice and face fell at the revelation. She nodded and left the room without another word.

Danny looked confused as he sat beside me once again "Why didn't you tell her the truth, Nikki?"

I grimaced remembering why I couldn't, "Danny…he's still out there." I replied hiding my face in his chest waiting for the explosion coming in…5…4…3…2…1…

"WHAT!?" he hollered jumping from his seat and away from me; his eyes burning green as were his hands, "THAT SICK ASSHOLE IS STILL OUT THERE?!!" I nodded silently letting the tears cascade down my cheeks. "WHY!?"

I looked up at him surely showing the fear in my eyes, "They didn't believe us!" I cried pulling my knees to my chest, wincing at the pain that shot up my leg at the action. "They said we needed cold hard proof and of course we didn't!" I gently rocked back and forth as I remembered the day the police turned us away as did DHR.

Danny arms enclosed around me as I broke down in front of him "Shh…shh. Its going to be ok, Nikki." He kissed my temple "I'm sorry I yelled at you, baby." I nodded snuggling my head into his chest once again.

"I love you, Danny." I whispered pulling my face to his, brushing my lips against his. "I missed you so much, Danny. And I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this."

His eyes flashed green for a moment before returning back to their normal alluring bright blue as he cupped my cheek; his thumb stroking it affectionately, "Nikki, I made the decision to be in this situation with you the day I found out I loved you." He kissed me softly, but passionately on the lips for a few minutes before breaking away, "and I love you too, Nikki." He smiled slyly transforming into his alter ego, "Wanna get outta here?"

I nodded, quickly changing in the adjoined bathroom before taking his hand and jumping into the sky with Danny, my Danny, at my side…finally!

Thank God that one's done! Sry it took SO long…as some of you would out it! The next chapter should be up sooner or later…hopefully sooner!
