Goodbye to You
I don't own anything! Oh why can't I own anything!
Chapter 13: Will our love still be strong?
Sam lay on her bed face up. Her heads were crossed in front of her. Her eyes stared straight up at the ceiling, not looking at anything in particular. Just fixed on an abyss of nothing. She had been in her room for nearly the entire day. She didn't call or talked to anyone ever sense last night. The image of Valerie's corpse leaking out blood still laid etched in her memory. (Why couldn't of I died?) Sam thought to herself. She probably should have been glad to of been still living, but at what cost? To have someone die in order for your protection. Even if they were an enemy, this was far different then a ghost being eliminated. It was a human being.
Then, there was Danny. When she had last seen Danny, it had been when h had saved her. She could still hear he screaming, 'No!' She could also still visualize those eyes of his glow with such green it resembled that of intense fury. And it was all because Valerie had nearly cut her throat open. (She wasn't serious.) Sam thought again. Her hand then moved up to the side of he face where Valerie had cut her. She could feel the scar that had been left, though it was slightly fading. It seemed as though Valerie was ready to kill her. And then Danny reacted…
But was it a reaction? Danny seemed like he was in control. The minute she had been threatened. Danny must really care about you. (I all ready went through this. Him and me are just friends.) Sam thought to herself. They had been friends since they were kids. And they became good friends. But now, even if she tried to deny it, her mind keep telling her that her and Danny could now become more then friends. She could feel that want still brewing inside of her, wanting to just get out. And the more she thought about Danny and was around him, the more her feelings for him grew. She knew these feelings could be true ever since that day when they were flying over Amity, she saw his face in the sunlight, just couldn't break away…
She sat up in her bed and said to herself, "I wish I could talk to him about this." He had all but left after the fight. Probably he ran away and couldn't face anyone ever again. Killing someone could cause anyone to run. But, Danny isn't like that. He could think his way out of this. He's smarter then that and Sam knew it. Sam just had to talk to him. But now, it was probably too late.
(I better get some sleep and think this over tomorrow) she thought. Yeah, wait and see him out of your live for good. Her head was swimming with too much stuff. Besides, it was ten thirty and she was all ready feeling fatigue race through her body.
Her gaze then caught a black lump that was resting on her dresser. She picked it up to remember that it was Danny's sweatshirt, the one he had let he wear yesterday. She moved it then up to her face and slowly felt it against her check. She could still feel Danny's body heat on the sweater. Her nose then took in the fragrance that was him. This probably would be as close to Danny as she would every get. She missed him more then ever and she placed the sweater back on top of her dresser.
Her hands then reached for the hem for her top and she pulled it up over her head. She dropped it to the ground as she thought to herself, (If I ever see Danny again, I wouldn't hesitate. I will tell him how I really feel." Her hands then began to move to move for her skirt's zipper, but she stopped by a voice behind her.
"Wait a minute, Sam," Danny said.
Sam turned behind her to see Danny. He was in his ghost form, but it was still the one person she had been waiting for. Her tired state then was swapped clean away from her and replaced with overflowing joy. "Danny!" she yelled as she raced straight at him. When she got to him, She grabbed him in a strong embrace. She pushed him closer to her, feeling his warmth once again against her.
Danny, right now, was at a loss for words. His eyes had shifted to the black bra that was covering her chest. He could just now see his hands reaching behind her back and slowly…He quickly shook the perverted thoughts out of his head and said, "Sam, its nice to see you too, but maybe you should put on something else.
Sam remembered what she had been wearing and broke away from Danny. Her hands then quickly covered her nearly uncovered breasts and she turned her back to Danny. "I bet you like that while I was in this," she joked as she blushed slightly.
Danny's face practically exploded with red as he replied, "Well…it was…it….I liked the hug…"
"Loss for words," Sam said as she picked up the top she had originally discarded from the ground, "if you caught me without anything on, I bet you pass out."
Danny watched as Sam slid her top back on as he replied," If I did, I just be struck by your beauty."
Sam turned around to face him and blushed at what he said. "You think I'm what?" she asked.
Danny then recovered from what he had just spitted out. "I mean, you are beautiful either way. I mean, you look great. As you can tell, I suck at playful banter."
"I can tell," Sam said as she walked over to him," but I think you came here for more then just that."
"It was Vlad," Danny said, as he became more serious.
"What?"
"He gave Valerie the weaponry and got her to try to take me out," Danny began," he also killed Kwan a while back, if you haven't all ready heard."
"Oh my God," Sam said as she placed her hand to her forehead.
"I thought the same thing. He wants me to fight him now, to end it all. I'm going to do so," Danny said.
"Where?" Sam asked.
"Can't say," Danny began," I can't risk you coming and getting hurt."
"But, Danny…" Sam.
"No. I can't risk you getting hurt. I all ready told you," Danny interrupted.
(There it is again. He must really care about me.) Sam thought. She then asked," And what going to happen after that?"
"I'm going away. Don't know for how long," Danny said as he dropped his dufflebag that he had been carrying to the floor.
"Is this about last night?" she asked.
"A little. It's just that I need time to rethink my life. I don't know if I really feel right being here," Danny said.
"But Danny, you belong here. You don't have to go," Sam said.
"I have to go. And then I have to rethink about staying here," Danny said. He then reached down and picked up his dufflebag. "Well, goodbye Sam," He turned towards the door, but stopped suddenly for Sam had now grabbed his arm.
Sam blushed at what she had done just then. As she made eye contact with Danny's had, she said," Don't leave. There are things here you're going to not want to give up. Can't you just stay here and try to get help? There are people here who really care about you."
Danny faced her then and said, "I can't really say. Tucker hates me, my sister tried to kill me, and my parents are hunting me down. How can I really say there with everyone trying t5o hunt me down?"
"And what about me?" Sam asked.
Danny just said," I know I still have you. And that's great. But, how can I show my face as this city's protector when all I know is that I could end up dead?"
"That isn't right, Danny. People can change their ideas about you if you just explain it to them," Sam stated.
Danny just shook his head and said," Like they will listen to something that isn't human say that murder was never on the list. I have to leave. Goodbye, Sam."
He Lifted Sam's hand off of his arm as he looked into her face. He knew the pain that surrounded her know was great with him leaving. He could tell her how he felt right now. But he couldn't. For it would only make her pain worse. He then turned his back towards her as he prepared to lift off.
"No!" Sam yelled, as Danny was just about to turn fly off. She wrapped her arms around him tio stop him. He hovered slightly off the ground, but when he felt her arms around him, he stopped. He then lowered himself down and changed back into his human form as Sam broke her grip from him.
"Godsakes, Sam! What are you doing?" Danny asked.
"Trying to stop you from making a mistake!" Sam yelled back.
"I told you I can't stay." Danny said.
"Well there are some people who want you here. And I want you here more then anything!" Sam yelled.
Danny then said," But how can you still care about me after what I have done?"
Sam walked toward Danny and said," Danny, I have been thinking about you a lot. For a long time, actually. And those thoughts have resulted in these feelings I have been getting. I tried getting this feelings out of my head. But, for the longer I have known you, these feelings just kept growing. And, I think its time to say it. I…I love you. "Danny's face just completely froze in surprise at what Sam had just said. She then lowered her head as she said," I know I sound stupid saying that. But it just had to get out. I understand if you don't have the same feelings for me. I still care about you though."
"How can you be stupid," Danny asked as he put his hand top Sam's chin and lifted her head up as he said," when I feel the same way for you?"
Sam felt like she could just burst from what Danny had said. He did feel the same way for here too. She could believe it. Here they were, too life long friends who loved her each other so much. Sam's arms then wrapped themselves around Danny's neck. She blushed slightly when she did this, but just meeting Danny's eyes ended her embarrassment. Those eyes, so full of passionate feelings, just melted her heart right there. Danny then wrapped her arms around her waist and pulled her closer.
(She feels nice,) Danny thought as he felt her lean body against his.
(This is just great,) Sam thought also. The, their faces began to move closer. Their lips pressed together as their eyes closed. They moved ever so closer. Finally, their lips meet in a kiss. Both of them could feel their faces just change red entirely. Yet, they didn't open their eyes to look upon this. For just feeling their mouths locked together was all they needed. Then, they open their mouths, making the kiss even more passionate. Danny felt his tongue then moves from his mouth and wrap around Sam's. She moaned with absolute pleasure as her tongue then pushed against Danny's. Danny didn't, no, would allow this moment to end. He felt like he could spent eternity with just him and Sam holding on to each other. But, he then broke the kiss and his hold on Sam.
"What is it?" Sam asked as soon as Danny let go of here.
"I'm happy that this has happened for us," Danny began," but I still have to fight Vlad. He has to pay for his actions."
"What about staying here?" Sam asked.
"I know now that I love you. But, can it really last in the end? Even if Vlad goes down, I have to still work out my life."
"It will always last," Sam said.
"But, if I don't come back, don't continue to wait," Danny stated," I can't let you wait for what you love even if it never returns."
