As is turns out, my dad's prospect for a job in Alaska fell through, and I am staying in California. So, I am able to update this weekend! I know that I usually update on Saturday morning, but it's been a busy three-day weekend so I am a tad behind schedule.
Moving on to other business, the other day I was rummaging through one of my CD cases and I came across an old Jewel disc. I popped it in the player and the second track immediately reminded me of Danny and Sam. If you all will read it and tell me your thoughts I would greatly appreciate it. I'm thinking of maybe doing a fic based on it or something.
JEWEL - What's Simple Is True Lyrics
Turn to me with frozen lips
Your hands are icy cold
Your eyes burn bright against the frost-bit sky
You never seemed more lovely than you do right tonight
Pale on the horizon
Like leaves frozen in the snow
Our two shadows merge inseparably
Will time stand still if it's pierced with cold
The more I live
The more I know
What's simple is true
I love you
There's a warmth in my heart
It haunts me when you're gone
Mend me to your side and never let go
Say 'Time knows nothing, we'll never grow cold'
The more I live
The more I know
What's simple is true
I love you
Twilight descends on our silhouette
How soon spring comes
How soon spring forgets
I wanna hold time, say it'll never begin
Old man winter be our friend
Old man winter be our friend
'Cause the more I live
The more I know
What's simple is true
What's simple is true
I love, I love you
Isn't that just perfect? Ok, but I cannot forget the reason you are all here, The Epiphany! Ok, so this chapter is a little hard to write because it's got the letter that Danny wrote to Sam in it. Danny's POV can be a little hard to write in at times so bear with me. I'm glad that you guys liked the fight scene from the last chapter, because I wasn't sure how good it was. Ok, definitely enough of me.
Chapter 10: Dear Sam,
The next couple class periods went on as normal as possible with finals looming the next couple days. I had been waiting to give Sam the note at lunch, so I was pretty disappointed to learn that she had gone home for lunch. (A/N I hope you all understand what I mean, like her mom came and picked her up for lunch, but will bring her back to school afterwards.) She had heard that Nicholas had gone home 'sick' and the thought of eating with me was out of the question.
"Man, I wish I could have seen Nicholas this morning." Tucker laughed, sliding into the seat across from me. "I know this guy Mikey, from my computer class. I guess he was in the nurse's office fixing the fax machine when Nicholas came in. He says he was thoroughly beaten up. Way to go, man!"
"Tucker, I'm not proud of beating him up. I just had to do it for Sam." I said, trying to hide a smile and not succeeding very well.
"Speaking of her, when are you going to give her the note now?" Tucker asked, digging into his plate-o-meat.
"In English class I guess. I can't come to her house, she would slam the door in my face, so it has to be here at school." I pulled out the note and scanned it over again for no logical reason, and then shoved back into my pocket.
"What do you think she'll do? I mean, she could think that you're making the whole Dating Game up. Then she would be even more pissed off!"
"I know, Tuck. But I am out of options and I think Sam knows me better than to think that I would do that. Even if I have been a major jackass lately." Tucker nodded in agreement. "I just wish I knew how she felt about me… you know what I mean. I could go and confess my feelings, and it could just make things worse between us."
"I highly doubt that. I mean, you know how she gets whenever you're around-"
"Paulina, hi!" I said loudly so that Tucker would stop his sentence short of mentioning her name. Tucker turned around, wide-eyed, to see Paulina, and how close he'd come to a major screw up.
"Hi Danny, and… Phillip is it?"
"It's Tucker." He answered with on obvious annoyance.
"Whatever. So Danny, has the ghost-boy talked to you lately, about me that is?" She asked with a very anxious tone.
Since I was now out of my Paulina induced mental relapse, I could see how desperate she was, and it's was sad.
"Actually yeah I have, and he says that he really just doesn't want to go to a the dance." Her face looked crushed suddenly and while, she wasn't a particularly nice one, she was still a human being with feelings. "You know how people treat him, like he's evil. He says its too much trouble, but it has nothing to do with you."
"Oh, ok then. Thanks anyways Danny." And with that she walked off to the popular table. She was quickly surrounded by girls, giving her false sympathy and hugs.
"What the heck Danny, why didn't you tell her that the ghost-boy doesn't want anything to do with her. She treated you like dirt until she realized she could use you for her advantage." Tucker asked with a very confused tone.
"Tuck, I've gone through too much heart break these past few days to put someone else through it, even if they fully deserve it." Tucker smiled slightly and punched my lightly on the arm.
"Danny, you old softy you." He joked.
"I know, I know… I'm a giver." I said laughing. "You know, this is the one time I can remember actually wanting to go to English class… and this just may be the longest lunch in history!" As if on cue, a loud, obnoxious ringing erupting through the cafeteria. Tucker and I laughed loudly at the timing.
I was thankful for the lighthearted lunch with Tucker, because I needed to be in a good mood to give Sam the note. As I entered Lancer's class with Tucker, and saw Sam sitting in her seat, an intimidating thought ran through my head
I am about to tell my best friend that her boyfriend has no true feeling for her, that he's using her for money, and that I am practically in love with her!
Tucker gave me a supportive pat on the shoulder as he walked back to his desk. I slid into my seat next to Sam, took a deep breath, and pulled one of the pieces of paper out of my back pocket.
I looked over to Sam, who was staring intently at her desk. I reached over and slowly slid the paper across the desk to the spot she was transfixed upon. She blinked a few times before looking over at me. I gave the best smile I could, and she looked back down at the note.
I was so thankful when she picked up the note and began to unfold it. The bell for class rang and Lancer started teaching immediately (obviously trying to cram every last bit of information into our heads before finals). As Sam finish unfolding the paper, she looked over at me one last time, as if looking for reassurance. I mustered another smile, and she began to read.
Dear Sam,
First of all I would like to thank you for even reading this note. I've been a complete and total jerk to you these past several days, and I am so sorry. You didn't deserve any of the harsh things I've said to you. It's just that, seeing you with Nicholas made me realize something: I can't see you with anyone but me. I've realized that I have feelings for you that go past those of a best friend. I'm sorry that is took me so long to tell you. Especially because you're with Nicholas now. Which brings me to the part of this note that I hate to have to write.
A couple of days after our fight, Tucker came over to my place and told me something about Nicholas that you really need to know. There's no easy way to put this so I'll just say it. He doesn't care about you at all, he is just play something called the Dating Game. He and his friends have a game in which they date people to make money, and he's using you. This sounds harsh and you may think that I am making it up, but I have proof that I will show you if you truly want to see. Sam, I hate that you are with Nicholas in the first place, but I hate even more that you are getting hurt like this. Above all I want to see you happy.
I hope that you forgive me for how stupid I've been. It's just that you make me crazy, Sam. And you can trust me that by the time you're reading this, Nicholas has been properly taken care of. Like I said, you make me crazy. Sam please say that you will at least go to the End of the Year Dance with me. I couldn't stand to see you go with someone else.
Love, DannyI believe that this is where you all came into the picture.

Phew! I am so thankful that I was able to make the story come around like that. The next chapter is going to start of like the first chapter, and then move one. I think it adds a cool affect to reading experience. Ok, now its your turn… yes you who was just about to leave without reviewing! Just because I hit my target 100 doesn't mean I am done being greedy for reviews (yes I admit it). No reviews means no update! It takes one minute of your time and truly makes my day. Thank you all, until the next chapter
True Always
