She chuckled slightly.
The television screen shined brightly in the dark room where Danny and Sam lounged across her bed. Wrappers of their lunch and afternoon tea were spread across the bed as well and the emotional breakdown Sam had was long forgotten.
Sam looked over at Danny who was fixated on the movie. His blue eyes glistened in the reflection of the screen; his hands cupped his chin as a way to keep him from falling asleep. His mouth hanged slightly open in awe of the plot.
She smiled a little and her heart softened.
They were laying on their stomachs heads in their hands watching a horror movie, one she picked out. The storyline was basic, one of those types of movies where a lot of blood and gore were evident. The volume was low, as neither of them were paying too much attention.
Sam yawned loudly before she nestled her head into her arms "What do you reckon is a good excuse to get me out of school?" she mumbled
Danny turned onto his side and faced Sam who he wanted to smile at. He loved a sleepy Sam. She always seemed so different to the mean Sam he knew. She just seemed so much more innocent and kind.
"What?" he asked confused
"I don't want to go to school like this" she mumbled again closing her eyes "They might think my parents hurt me"
Danny grimed in the darkness at the thought. Although he did still feel bad, he forgot to think about that dilemna
Sam may have had her days where she was angry and fierce. She may never get on with her parents but she loves them… She was really a king sweet person behind her tough girl look.
Danny sighed "Say you fell down the stairs"
Sam snorted "I wouldn't usually admit something like that-"
"Say you went bike riding" Danny began he sat up in the bed "Say you seriously enjoy nature and it's so beautiful and bright then you fell off-"
Sam hit him with the pillow "So what you're saying is, sucking up to my parents and pretend to be the daughter they always wanted for a day off?" she exclaimed annoyed
Danny sat back a little "Whatever you would like it to be" he held up his hands in defence
She rolled her eyes and sighed "I guess that the way it's gotta be though at the moment" she shrugged and winced
Danny frowned as she rubbed her aching shoulder
The movie ended and the credits began rolling which made the room much darker.
"Danny, could you turn the light on?" she asked as she rubbed her eyes full of exhaustion.
He hit the lights to find Sam leaning against the frame of her bed on the maroon carpet.
Her toned purple and green legs were lying long on the ground and her head rested against her bed. Her black hair was in its natural curly state which made her look so beautiful Danny noticed.
Danny smiled a little, How did I end up with such a beautiful friend?
"Do you think my parents would buy that?" she asked her face consumed by worry
"By what?" asked Danny sitting next to her
Sam leaned her head against Danny "The fact that I fell of a bike?" she asked "My parents are smart Danny, they notice everything"
"Except the fact I'm a ghost and I'm here in your room"
She chuckled slightly, shaking Danny's shoulder
Danny frowned. She hated having to see Sam so worried and nervous all the time. She was never like this. She was always just frustrated and happy. Now she was just frustrated and worried. He wished her demons would go away.
Danny exhaled "I think you'll be fine Sam, Tuck and I will back you up"
She smiled "Thanks"
They sat there in silence for a few minutes enjoying their company. Only the ticking clock and a few cars passing their house was all they could notice.
Sam smiled and nuzzled up closer to Danny.
I may never want him to leave. I want him here forever.
She looked up at him and his eyes were closed, he was breathing softly.
He's asleep. He looks so innocent like that.
She wanted nothing more for him to stay the night. She wanted him with her.
Why do I feel this way? I've never felt like this before for him. Is this a new stage in our friendship?
She sighed deeply and nudged him "I think you'll find the bed more comfortable"
He nodded drowsily before he made his way crawling up to the bed before he fell on his back and fell straight back to sleep.
She chuckled before she joined him lying next to him.
He's the bestest friend I could ever ask for. I never want him to go.
She watched as his strong chest raised and lowered with each breath he took. His face was softer then butter. His lips were soft as…
She shook her head Best friend, remember?
She looked away Do I have a crush on Danny-?
No, he's my best friend… I'm delusional… it must be my head injury speaking.
Sam went to grab a glass of water from her small bedside table. As she placed it back it slipped and fell onto the floor
"Oh no-" she whispered loudly
The noise it made could have woken up her parents. She gasped a little praying it didn't.
Danny shot up out of sleep "Sam-" making Sam jump a little
"I'm fine" she whispered pushing him back down on the bed "It's okay"
Danny exhaled "It's late Sam…"
"Stay the night; I don't want you to fall asleep while flying"
He chuckled "You need sleep too" he exclaimed as he pulled her down with him.
She laughed as they landed. Sam's head lying on his warm chest.
She could hear his heart beat softly. Making her fall into a trance
"Night Sam" he whispered
"Night Danny" was all she could whisper back as her heart was overwhelmed with love
