Chapter 14

"I can't believe I let her!" was the constant mumbling Sam had been doing, ever since she let go of her sister's hand so that she could get rid of the child. It was killing Sam, just to think that she could've saved a life from being wasted. She always stood up for the rights of animal and plant lives. She was a human activist. And yet, here she was, waiting for the doctors to deliver her the news that, 'the abortion was successful', or some other morbid stuff.

She just came from the bathroom after vomiting everything she had in the past hours, out. Which wasn't much. All she had was a granola bar. And even that was too much for her. She took almost half an hour in the bathroom, and it would've been half an hour more, had Danny not phased in to check up on her. Which she was infuriated with, so much.

Now she was sitting beside Danny, with her head lowered and held in her hands, while she muttered constantly that she was a hypocrite, a murderer, that she could've prevented all this. Danny had been consoling her for quite some time now, but he understood now that he was just smacking his head with a rock, over and over again. A very cute rock at that, he smiled ruefully at that thought. He was just swapping his fingers on his iPhone. Trying to get high score in 'Angry Bird'.

His eyes widened when he found something leaning on him. He looked at his side and found Sam, still muttered to herself. At this time she had fallen on Danny in the process. Danny sighed for the millionth time and nudged her softly, "Sam, please snap out of it!" he snapped his fingers in front her, then she broke out of the daze, "Everything will be alright. It's not your fault!" These were the words that he had used individually before. But now he just mustered them in one sentence.

He pecked her lightly on her temple. That helped too, he smirked as she blushed and was brought back to the land of reality. He thought that if he kept this up, then she would soon be having a permanent blush on her cheeks.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

"She looks so weak!"

Sam was sitting beside Star, who was resting, as the doctor had said. Sam squeezed Star's hand and Danny whistled, Sam's head snapped in his direction and she glared at him. He just smiled sheepishly at her and shrugged. Sam sighed and stood up, "Want something?" he shook his head while looking at Star. Sam rolled her eyes, always trying to chivalrous. She walked to the door and held the door knob as she called back, "I'll get you some coffee, I know you need it!" with that she left. As Danny looked at her with a dazed look in his eyes.

How could she hold so much power on him. He didn't know where he would be if it weren't for her. But the sad part was, that just in a few weeks, he'd be off to college and she would do the same. He just hoped he had enough time. Still gazing in the direction she left, he didn't see Star open her eyes with a pained look on her face. Not until she groaned that his head whipped in her direction, "Hey, your up!" he leaned towards her and helped her sit up straight.

"Yeah!" her voice was hoarse.

"You need anything!" he asked, he didn't know how to handle a girl who just had an abortion, well he didn't even know how to handle a pregnant woman, and that was just ridiculous, considering that he had a younger sister who was 12, and he was there when his mother was pregnant. As Star groaned again, Danny was brought back to the land of the living, "Yeah! I don't feel so good. Can you take me to the bathroom!" he blushed lightly and helped her up. She slowly made her way to the bathroom that was connected to the room. All the way, she held Danny's hand, and the other to ease her growing headache. While Danny's one hand was on the small of her back.

They made their way to the bathroom and Danny was about to leave and let her attend to her business, hey he didn't want to stay while she was at it. But she gripped his hand tight and leaned against the sink. She vomited all that there was in her stomach, it hurt. And Danny was trying not to gag, but he aided her still, by pulling her hair back and rubbing her back softly. After a while, she pulled away from the sink and placed her hand on her abdomen. She opened the faucet and the water rinsed away the vomit. She looked back at Danny and made out, "Can you get my mouth wash from my bag!"

He ran and brought back her mouth wash, she rinsed her mouth as she leaned back, Danny was behind her, and her back leaned on his chest.

When she was done, she laughed, a shaky but completely humor full. He looked at her weirdly and she turned back and hugged him, as she took him by surprise, and slowly he wrapped his arms around her, to try and give her some comfort for what she had done. She laughed again, "You know what?" He tilted his head and looked at her with a confused smile on his face, and he breathed out, "What!" he clearly missed as the door of the room opened and closed, and as a raven haired girl walked in and looked at the empty chair and bed, and walked towards the bathroom, seeing the light coming from there, as she saw both of them in an embrace.

"I have, this huge crush on you!" and Sam paled as she her eye brows knitted and she ran out of the room in anger.

Clearly missing the way Danny pulled away and gave Star a look that clearly said that 'this is going far enough', "Star, I-I...I don't know what to say, listen, I'm not, Ah...What I meant to say is..." he trailed after fumbling over his own words. He stepped back and she looked at his expression with apprehension, then shrugged her shoulders as she tried to muster up a smile, "Its, because of Sam, right" he looked at her with wide eyes, how did she...?

"I know because I see the way you look at her. I completely get it...!" she slowly made her way out, albeit the sickening pain and laid herself on the satin sheets of the hospital rooms. He sighed and followed her, as he sat down on one of the chairs, "Listen Star, I'll admit that it was quite a shock for me, but your right about the fact that I do like your sister. And I'm not gonna deny it!" Growing up meant one thing, that you would take a look at your actions in the past and think of how badly you messed up. Just because you were scared of what the consequences of your actions would be, you step back and try to limit what life had in store for you. But growing up showed that no matter how badly you messed your life up, if there is something that you care for, you shouldn't have to let it go just because your scared to admit it. Danny knew that, he knew the extent of how much Sam mattered to him, and he wasn't going to let the fear of rejection let him suppress his emotions, any longer.

Star smiled at him, "I completely understand, but it was worth a shot!" she said cheerily, and he laughed. For a girl who just lost her kid, well she turned out to be rather jittery.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

Sam shot out of the hospital and steadied herself against the parking lot railing, breathing heavily and trying to regain her composure, but failing every time she tried. How could he? Was the question that plagued her thoughts. That bastard had pretended to like her while he tied his knots with her sister. It was so obvious from the scene that just repeated itself in her brain. Both her sister and Danny liked each other, and she was stupid enough to think that he liked her instead. A wave of nausea passed her and she felt sick. The thought of being judged and rejected reached her mind, and the tears threatened to come out. She closed her eyes and tried to swallow the tears back in.

She hissed and started fanning her face to get rid of the tears, "It isn't worth crying! Get a grip on yourself, Manson! He isn't worth it!"

"Who isn't worth what?"

The voice from behind her caused her to jump and look back to meet the convict of her feelings. But she just glared, not saying a word and looked aside.

"How's Star?"

"She's fine. Well she's asleep!"

And she turned her head towards him, then walked towards his car, he trailed after her with a confused look on his face, "Where are you going?" She gave him a pointed look then sighed, "The asshole who started all this!" she sat inside the car as he unlocked it and shrugged as he sat down on the driver's seat. He thought that she was just angry with what happen with her sister. But poor guy didn't know what was running in Sam's mind, murder plans for both of'um

Danny turned the radio on to make it less awkward for him, and he knew that any station would be good, he wasn't picky when Sam was glaring at every single person in sight, even an innocent woman who was taking way long to cross the road. So the station that was turned on just buzzed. Yes, it was static, and he was glad that the buzzing of the radio helped him to concentrate on driving more. Sam told the way and he nodded, but when he reached the small house, he stared at it with wide eyes, his jaw threatening to be dislocated from his face.

"But this...this is...this...Oh My God!" he fumbled as he held his head in his hands and Sam stared at him weirdly.

"What?" she asked and he shouted, "This is Dashiel Baxter's house!"

"Yeah! So?"

"So you're telling me that your sister is dating a jock who has barely passed high school!"

"Yeah! How do you know him?" this was getting confusing for Sam and she stared at him like he grew a third head.

Danny looked from the door to Sam, "He was my high school bully. He punched the head master during his senior year and was expelled. Apparently his parents are supporting him. How does your sister know him?" It was strange, he never thought that he would have to face the same guy who made his high school life hell, who had told Danny that he was his personal bully, and had called him by names like, 'Fen-toad, Fenterino, or such other non sense.

Sam's shoulders hunched as she looked at Danny, "They met at a party and blew it off well. Star said that she was 'so in love' with the guy and thought he was the one!" she did air quotes and made a disgusted face.

Danny hit his head on the steering wheel and groaned, he just hoped that the guy wouldn't remember him. Sam came out of the car and walked towards the door, he shot up and ran towards her, no way was he going to let her face a psychotic jock. She pressed her fore finger on the door bell and both of them heard someone running towards the door. The door opened to reveal a bulky guy with blonde hair and blue eyes, the mere sight of him caused Danny to shiver in distaste. He looked from Sam to Danny then back at Sam, but suddenly his head whipped in Danny's direction, and just what Danny feared, recognition crossed Dash's features and Danny sunk low. Sam coughed, "I see that this is a very delicate moment for you two guys, but I came here to have a word with you, Dash. So if you don't mind..." she trailed and he stepped aside to let her in.

Danny groaned as Sam entered and just when he was about to enter, Dash stepped in front of him, "Long time no see, Fentonio!" And that was another name that Danny hated.

Sam called from the inside, "Leave him alone, Dash!" And Dash grinned maliciously at Danny, but stepped aside any way.

Both Danny and Sam sat down on the couch that Dash pointed at, hey if they were in the house of the most jerkiest guy in the planet, that didn't mean that they should forget their manners. Sam was the first one to speak, because Danny still had a fear of Dash, and the way Dash was cracking his knuckles as he looked at Danny with a smirk, that was enough for Danny to gulp. Sam looked at Dash with the dullest expression, "So how you doing. Got hitched again, after you dumped my sister with a child!" she shouted and Dash looked back at her, both never had a good past.

"She got to you as well! Huh! not much of a surprise since she needed someone to share her sob story with, someone who had experience in this, and all!" that was definitely not a good move. Acting like a smug bastard in front of the girl who was glaring fireballs at him. And that was enough for Danny to stop his covering and give warning looks at Dash, who wasn't fazed by that kind of behavior. It had happen before in high school as well, the reason he had become a target for Dash was for the fact that Danny stood up for the losers, which made him a loser as well.

Sam spoke in a low and dangerous voice, "What are you talking about, Dash?!"

Dash looked at her, unbelievably, "Oh Manson! You forgot how you let that Gregor guy up your skirt in only a week after you met him!" That was enough for Danny, he shot up from the couch and punched Dash in the nose, shouting, "You bastard!" and the fight started. Both laid punch after punch at each other, Dash already had a bloody nose, and Danny's jaw throbbing with pain, blood was oozing from his lips.

"What Fenton! Don't like it when I talk about your girlfriend's past adultery!"

"You're a dead man, Baxter!"

"Not if I get you first!"

"Stop!" Sam's voice lost in the fight. As she tried to hurl Danny and Dash away from each other. But after a minute of thrashing, she managed to pull Danny from Dash, "Get. Of Him, Danny!" and after she pulled them away, she pushed Danny to the door, "Get in the car!" he looked from glaring at Dash, to Sam with an unbelievable look, "But Sam, he..." and Sam screamed, "NOW, Danny!" and he growled at Dash, but went for the car while nursing his bruised jaw. Sam took a deep breath and turned towards Dash.

"I am filing a restraining order against you. If you ever come in within a 100 feet of Star, you'd definitely be a dead man!' she warned him and turned towards the door. But what Dash said afterwards made her want to really kill him.

"Like I'm ever gonna see that cheating whore again!"

Oh screw maturity! She turned around and punched him herself, that threw him back. And Sam never felt more alive in her life than now. She walked out of the house and towards the car, and she saw Danny already sitting in the driver seat and it looked like he was muttering, with an angry expression. Sam rolled her eyes, and opened the driver seat door, Danny looked up from nursing his jaw to her, and Sam gave him a pointed look and he just looked at her, "What!" he dead panned and she pulled him out of the car and sat down on the driver's seat and pointed towards the other seat, he pouted as he shoved his hands in his jean's pockets, and sat down on the other seat, as he sulked all the way.

She couldn't tell if she should be ecstatic or appalled at his behavior.

"You shouldn't have done that!" she said in a low voice and his head whipped in her direction, "What! And let him say those things about you!"

"But I didn't need you too. Stop acting like that!" she shouted as she turned the engine on and started the car. He muttered something about, 'Women! and their need of in-dependency'. But along the way mumbled, "But your worth better than this!" she didn't know what, but she thought that she might find out. And what she saw of her sister and Danny, well she could bear with that. It wasn't like she liked him or something. But she didn't know how wrong her own thoughts were.
