The doctors knew he was going to die, so did his parents, and that meant that everyone was avoiding him. His mom didn't sit with him until midnight, Jazz didn't bring him homework, and his dad didn't rant to him about ghosts anymore. The only ones who knew he existed were Tucker and Sam, but with school it made it hard for them to find the time to visit, which left him with a lot of thinking time.

"I wonder," he said out loud, "What would happen if I just flew out of here, would anyone miss me or know I'd gone?"

It was a wonderful experiment but a dangerous one, that's when the door creaked open slowly.

"Danny," Came a female voice, "It's me Sam."

Sam walked through the door carrying a bunch of books, she looked sad and hesitant but finally sat down on the corner of his bed.

"Oh Danny," she said in a woe filled voice, as she reached out and held his hand.

Suddenly with no warning she began crying, loud noisy tears that dripped onto his sheets and made his heart melt.

"I'm sorry," She sobbed, "I should have stopped all this from happening."

"What," Danny said puzzled, "You couldn't have done anything."

"Yes I could," She burst out sadly, "I should have noticed something was wrong, I'm HORRIBLE friend."

A new wave of tears collapsed down her cheeks and Danny hugged her tight.

"Don't say that," He replied, "You're my best friend and maybe even a little bit more."

"What," Sam said.

Sam's POV

She didn't want to leave his embrace, but she had too, his statement had made her wonder and she had to see him.

"What," she said pulling away.

"I'm so stupid," Danny said seriously, "Why couldn't I see."

It seemed like he wasn't even talking to her but to some one else, and it frightened her. "Danny," She asked with urgency, "Are you okay?"

His eyes grew wider and much less life like.

"The truth was right in front of me," He said grinning in a demonic way, 'But being the innocent fool I was I couldn't see."

"DANNY," Sam shouted, "CUT IT OUT."

"Now its almost over," Danny said in a frightening empty voice...

It scared her too much, she ran, leaving the hospital and her friend behind, he had lost his sanity there, and she could never return.

Danny's POV

As he watched her run he felt sad and had to shout one thing after her even though he knew she wouldn't hear.

"I LOVE YOU SAM," Danny shouted, but all he could hear were her frantic footsteps down a long empty hall.
