Back to Sam and Danny

Well, I thought as I looked down at the PDA in my hand, he's probably more worried for his PDA than his own safety. Typical Tucker, I thought as I rolled my eyes.

"Um, Sam?" asked Danny as he waved his hand in front of my face.

"Right, I was questioning you about the infi-map" I said as I turned to look at him. I was really skeptical about him not knowing what the infi-map was. The look on his face at that time told me differently.

"Yeah, I really don't know anything about the infi-map" said Danny. I looked into his eyes and finally sighed.

"Fine, but if I find out that you do, I am never going to be your friend again" I said as I glared at him to emphasize my point. He nodded.

"Come on, we need to get both you and I cleaned. We're covered in debris" I said as I grabbed his hand and made our way to my mansion.

"Sam? Are you sure we're in the right place?" asked Danny as he looked up in awe at the mansion looming before us.

"Sure. It's been my home for 14 years. How could I not know where my home was?" I said as I rummaged in my pockets for the key and upon finding them, opened the door.

"Hello? Granny, are you home?" I called out as I kicked off my boots and looked up the stairs.

"Bubeleh! How was your day at school?" asked my grandma as she came out of the kitchen in her wheelchair.

"It was great. I taking a friend to get cleaned up in my room okay?" I asked as I looked at her. She nodded and whispered in my ear. Upon hearing what she had to say, I blush bright red and shouted out in protest,

"You're imagining things, Granny!" I turned to Danny and grabbed his hand before proceeding to drag him up the stairs. Once we were in the privacy of my room, I turned to him, waiting for the questions.

"You're rich?" he asked as he looked around in awe at the furniture and my stereo.

"I thought the mansion was obvious enough" I said offhandedly as I walked into my closet to find some clothes he could wear. Finding them, I grabbed him and walked out.

"Well, no one at school knows about this. If you told, Paulina would leave you alone and maybe even be your friend" said Danny as he looked through my CD collection.

"Right… And then I'll be a world class brat. I pick being labeled a loser over that any day" I said as I tossed the clothes to him.

"Why do you have clothes for guys in your closet?" asked Danny as he looked at me quizzically.

"Tucker stays over all the time and forgets to bring his clothes home so that explains where I get my clothes. Anyway you should go and change. I'll wait" Danny nodded and walked into the bathroom to change.

'Ding Dong'

The sound of the doorbell rang throughout the mansion. I got up and made my way down the stairs to see Grandmother opening the door and inviting a blond haired, blue eyed and well built boy into the living room.

"bubeleh! There's a boy asking for you!" she called out in a cheery voice.

"Coming, granny!" I answered as I walked down. He was probably another suitor that my parents had asked to come.

"You are Sam?" asked the boy whom I deduced was a foreigner from the way he spoke. I nodded mutely and he grinned.

"I'm pleased to meet you my fiancée" he said as he took my hand and kissed it. Wait, fiancée?! What the heck was going on?

"Your parents said if you were to fell for me you would become my fiancée. Judging by how you looked at me just now, I assume you're already in love with me, I am right milady?" asked the jerk with a smug smile. I glared at him and stomped on his foot hard.

"Ouch! That is no way to treat your fiancé!" yelled the jerk as he hopped on one foot, his hand caressing the other.

"I hate you, you conceited foreigner jerk" I said before stomping up the stairs and into my room, slamming the door hard.

"Argh! Stupid father! Stupid mother! I hate them!" I yelled out as I jumped onto my bed and buried my head in my pillow.

"Sam? I heard what that guy was saying just now. Is it true you're his fiancée?" asked Danny as he stood somewhere near the bathroom door. I looked up at him from my pillow and screamed,

"No! I hate that conceited jerk and my parents!" I yelled out before burying my head in my pillow and continuing my screaming. Danny must have walked over to me because I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Sam, I can lend you my shoulder if you want" I laid my head on his shoulder as he put his arm awkwardly around me. I had had enough of all these engagements, I had no idea how long I could keep up with my tough façade. When ever this sort of thing happened, I always felt that my parents saw me as a toy, to be sold to the highest bidder. The boys I was always engaged to were sons of my father's business partners. They treated our engagement as a way to improve business with each other. Tears were welling up in my eyes. I couldn't stand my parents and their ways anymore. Burying my head in Danny's shoulder, I cried. Sobs wrecked through my body as I cried. I had enough of being treated like a thing. The only one I could trust was grandmother. Danny rubbed my back awkwardly as he attempted to comfort me. After a few minutes, I calmed down.

"Thanks" I sniffled out as I looked up at him and managed to give him a weak smile. I had never cried in front of anyone before, not even Tucker. Danny gave me a sense of security. I knew that the moment of my weakness or the fact that I had cried would never be leaked out.

"No problem. I better be getting home" said Danny as he looked at me uncertainly.

"Let me wash my face and I'll walk you to the door" I said as I made my way to the bathroom and washed up quickly. I splashed water on my face and smiled a great big smile in the mirror. Satisfied, I nodded to myself and walked out.

"Let's go" I said as I led the way to the door. By now, the jerk had gone. As Danny put on his shoes, I opened the door and stared wistfully outside.

"Sam, I'm done" said Danny as he tapped me on the shoulder. I nodded and stepped aside to let him pass.

"Bye Sam. You know if you ever need someone, you can always find me" said Danny before he leaned down and kissed me quickly on the cheek once and was off. My hand found my way to my cheek as I stared out at Danny's back. Closing the door, I walked back to my room in a stupor before collapsing on my bed.

Well, sorry for the long wait. My exams are over but i still need to study so the chapters won't be updating as regularly as before. And also as you noticed, Danny is started to make some moves towards Sam. As for Sam's crying, well it was from my past experiences, what i saw and what actually happened to me and a few friends but just altered. Plus i bet you did feel sad if your parents treated you like that. anyways that's all please review!(i'm getting naggy) XD
