4. After

Last Chapter: "Just wondering." After a pause, Sam continued, "Try the truth this time."

"What? I..I am..."

"Lying. Danny, I know you better than that."

Danny looked around nervously. He was afraid this would happen. He knew he couldn't keep anything from Sam for long. She knew him well. Sam's frim look made him all the more nervous. She wasn't going to give up until he told. "Tell me Danny."

"Okay so, I've had a hard time with the news being let out." Danny slowly begun. He didn't plan to tell her everything, besides, she couldn't - wouldn't - find out everything. There's no way he'd let that happen. Sam's look pressed him on to what else he was willing to say. "Well, with Jazz at college, I was alone. So, in combination of not wanting to go ghost, and wanting company, I separated from Phantom."

I've become good friends with him, I enjoy spending time with him now. Until a few days ago, I was the only one at home. Having him around made it less lonely. We are just friends Sam." Danny tried to make it sound convincing. Since, really, they were more than friends.

"Danny, I'll let it go for now. But it doesn't explain everything." Sam told him as she turned around to leave. Danny sighed.

"Sam, I'm sorry."

She turned around. "For what?"

"You'll know probably all too soon." Danny pointed out the door, then headed upstairs. Sam turned and left. She kicked at the rocks scattered on the sidewalk as she headed home. She wished he'd tell her. But, then considering how he was acting, maybe she didn't want to know. She wasn't sure exactly what to do. Sam supposed she could tell Tucker, see what he thought. She walked into her house, heading straight to her room. She checked her computer. Sure enough, Tucker was on.

Sam signed off. She sat back in her chair. So, hopefully, if this worked, she'd know by this time tomorrrow.
