Chapter 10

The song listed below is Lee Ann Womack's, "I Hope You Dance". Stay tuned for the next story called Death Predictions. Oh and the lyrics are before or during the actions. Which means the first paragraph is without the lyrics, just the music, then the song starts with the actions that follow the lyrics. Hope that wasn't too confusing! It isn't the best chapter Ive done, but I have done my best on it! Hope you enjoy!

Rosa went back to her house after that. Aries walked to the park and walked among the trees and fountains. Danny was walking to his house, the sidewalk starting to look a dull gray as the sun set behind him. Sam was at the Nasty Burger with Tucker, staring out at the sky as it turned with a tinge of purples, oranges, yellows and pinks.

(The song starts)

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed

Here they were, four souls divided by similar things, and yet they are all unique. Two men, two women. All were fourteen and loving life, until this happened to them. Now three are battling against each other and one is left alone to deal with their own internal battle. Each walking their own path. Each trying desperately to figure out where they belong in this world, and who with.

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Rosa stood staring out her window. Everything felt so strange to her now, everything she had known before seemed wrong. She wished she could explain it. She did love Danny, ever since that kiss she never felt closer to him than before. But she had also found out that Sam liked Danny. She closed her eye. Now it was took late for her. She had fallen in love with Danny. Her friend. She wished she hadn't, but she couldn't forget his sky blue eyes, so warm, so loving. His embrace was just as warm as she felt his lips on hers. It felt like true magic. She loved it. But now she had to know the real truth...

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

Danny couldn't love her. She somehow knew in her heart, he would choose Sam.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance.

Aries sat down on a bench nearby, how could he have hurt everyone so much like this?! He hated himself so much! He still remembered what they told him. They would help him, he nodded to himself. He finally had friends now, they would help him through this mess, he had to believe in them. He wouldn't let Evil Aries hurt anyone again..he promised.

Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,

Sam couldn't take any more of being with Tucker, she liked him, but she needed to get home to think. She said goodbye to him and ran out, not looking back. As she ran home she kept thinking about Danny. She was still so confused about him, but ever since she saw him with Rosa, she felt this jealousy boil in her. Worse than Paulina. She closed her purple eyes in hatred of herself. She should be happy Danny likes Rosa, and vica Versa. She shouldn't be so selfish. But she knows Danny likes her too. Sam had a chance! But she knew only Danny could make the decision, then she ran into someone head on.

Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Danny hated to see his best friend and new friend be enemies like this. Both girls loved him, and he loved them both the same, but if he chose one, the other would surely lose it! What was he to do? He closed his eyes and sighed deeply. He wished he could make up his mind. Both girls were wonderful, Sam was fun to be with, sarcastic, but loving, and cared deeply for him. She was his best friend. But would it change now that this happened? Could he consider her, more than that? Danny opened his eyes and gulped, now staring at the sidewalk in front of him. Then he thought about Rosa, Her smile, her voice, her kindness, he would never find another one like her. Both girls seemed entrancing to him. As he was turning the corner, he ran smack dab into one of the said girls.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

"Danny." Sam gasped, seeing Danny for the first time in hours. It was the day after the fight and feelings were still edging in her mind.
"Hey Sam." Danny grinned, getting back to his feet. He helped her up as well.

"How are you?" She asked.

"Eh, I guess alright." He tried to grin.

"Danny...I love you, but if you really want to like Rosa, that's fine. I don't want you to be stressing over this. I know she must be very special to you." Sam looked down.

"Sam I, I love you too.. I don't know which of you both I like more." Danny tried to say.

But Sam shushed him by putting a finger to his lips. "Go with her, see if it works out. Ill still be your best friend forever." She smiled and pulled her finger away.

"Are you sure about this?" Danny asked nervously.

Sam sighed and looked out at the stars. "I've never been more sure of anything in my life.."

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Danny smiled softly and hugged her. "Alright, but if it doesn't work out, Ill think about us alright?" he asked.

Sam nodded. Both soon said goodbye to each other and headed their separate ways to their houses.

When Sam got to her house she sighed and sat down and watched TV. She smiled to herself, knowing she did the right thing.

Dance....I hope you dance.

When Danny got home he called Rosa. "Hey Rosa? Can you come over?"

I hope you dance....

Rosa smiled. "Sure." With that she hung up and ran to Danny's house, not thinking about anything else than to be with him.

I hope you dance.

When she got there, Danny answered the door and smiled softly at her. She could softly hear some music in the main room and gave him a questioning look. He only smiled and walked inside, with a confused Rosa following.

I hope you dance....

He finally turned around and smiled at her. She stopped and realized the music was playing from a stereo from nearby and she stared at Danny, confused at his next move.

I hope you dance..

"Do you want to Dance?" Danny smiled softly at Rosa as the music flowed around the room they were in. He held out his hand to her.

Rosa smiled. "Id love to."

(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)

Rosa took his hand and he put his around her waist. She held onto him tightly as they started to slow dance. She never wanted this to end. They danced all night long.

The End

(But its not the end yet..the next chapter I add is dedicated to my friends who believed in me, no matter what)
