Okay, I scare myself.
Chapter 12: Crush
The nurse pulled Sam through the door. "Listen you guys. Since you've already seen Danny alonem now, you can come in grops now. That means only groups of four." She said after she pushed Sam onto a waiting room chair. "I'll have to pick the groups...hmm, Ms. Manson, Mr. Baxter, Mr. Foley, and Ms. Sanchez. Follow me please"
"What!" Star stood up, sticking out her hip. "I haven't even gone in yet"
"I'm sorry." The nurse said. "Maybe"
"Do you know who my father is?" Star leaned forward to the nurse, making her back off a little. "If he found out I didn't get my way, he'd be pretty mad. He could sue this hospital"
"You can't sue a hospital for something like this, hon." The nurse said.
"Mrs. Nurse..." Star started, but the nurse cut her off.
"My name is Mrs. Jillian." The nurse replied. She looked at her notpad.
"Well, be good, Mrs. Jillian." Star siad, leaning closer.
"Your teenagers. All of you. I've been one before." Nurse Jillian said. She turned back to her counter. "We will be good!" Dash said.
Nurse Jillian spun around and looked into Dash's eyes. Sam say something flicker in them. Nurse Jillian saw it too.
She turned on her heels and stared at her notepad. "What ever. But remember, you all promised to be good. All of you hurry up and get in the room...before my boss sees..."
Sam's POV:
We slowly made our way into the hospital room. Pualina and Star sat together on the big sofa. Kwan and Dash sat on the sink counter and watched as Valerie made her way tot he white rollnig chair. Tucker leaned his back aganist the wall. I sat on Danny's hospital bed. It was completely silent.
We all looked at Danny.
His covers were pulled completely over his head and he was cruched up in a little ball. He was completely still. I noticed he was breathin normally. This made me happy. I touvhed his head over the covers. They were still soaking though. I felt bad for him. It was sad that he was suffering, even in a hospital. He was going to be alright though. I just KNEW he would be.
"Is this going to be like in the Waiting Room?" Dash asked, looking up from the floor for almost the first time.
"Yea, that was odd." Tucker replied, stiffing up from the waist up.
Silence.
Well that lasted, I thought. Paulina looked up at Tucker and Dash, "Well, what do you want to do?" She asked innocently.
I looked down at Danny.
"OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!" He screamed.
I screamed and jumped about half a mile off the bed. Or, at least it felt like half a mile.
"What?" Paulina said. She jumped off the sofa and pulled the covers off of Danny's head. "What?" She asked again. "Is he dreaming again? the nurse said he was dreaming. About what though"
"What have we told you he was dreaming about, for the 1millionth time?" I said, annoyed. How many times did people need to know what the heck Danny was dreaming about?
Paulina placed a hand on his forehead. "How many dreams can a guy have?" She asked turning to me. Then, she lifeted her hand from his head. She noticed the sweat drippnig from her hand, onto the floor. "And how much sweat can a guy have inside of him?" She raised an eyebrow at me.
Me? Why is she asking me all this?
"Are you making fun of Danny?" I asked. I had enough, even though I really knew she wasn't trying to make fun of Danny.
"What?" Paulina said, she looked around. I repeated myself. Paulina backed away and then steped forward as if she was regaining her strength.
"Making fun of Danny? What? No way!" Paulina said. She mumbled something that sounded like, "Not at a time like this"
I eyed her.
"Why do you even care anyways, loser?" She said. Loser? She called me a loser. Oh Gosh, will she ever realise how stuck up she is?
"None of your business." I shot back.
Hey, it sounds like first grade, but we were all confused. At this point, we probablly didn't even know what year it was.
Take for instance, Paulina (speaking of the witch). She looked like she hadn't even pulled out a brush in two weeks. He clothes were messed up and there were droll spots on her shoulders, which meant that she must have slept in them. He pants weren't the bright blue they used to be. They were more like white. And her pink clip was pressed into her hair, causing her hair to droop down in front of her face, instead of pull it away from it. "What do you mean, people like me?" Paulina said, almost knocking me off Danny's bed.
"Ugly, self-absorbed, people like you, Paulina." I smiled.
She crunched up her face.
"You know what Sam Just shut up! Do us all the favor." She crossed her arms.
Tucker stepped in front of me. Just as I would have jumped on top of her and ripped out her dark hair, making it even more messy. Who'd be ugly now, huh?
I sighed and relaxed on Danny's bed.
She sat back down on the sofa with Star. Star shifted a little. Everybody in the room knew that the sofa couldn't fit Star and Paulina together. They were too big. But Star squeezed back in the couch when she felt herself slip out. Is somebody eating too many Twinkies, Star?
I laugh to myself.
Then.
"OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!" He yelled again.
This time Paulina shot me a look from the sofa. "You don't know exaclt what he's dreaming about, do you, Sam"
"Yea I do"
I re-live it in my mind.
Start Flash back
Danny laughed.
"Why are you laughing, Danny?" I yelled from the ground below.
Danny was looking for the ghost. The one that caused him to end up in this place. He looked down at me. "This ghost just won't die!" He said.
"So your laughing?" Tucker called.
Danny didn't have time to answer. A huge green hand pulled him up higher in the iar and knocked him aganist a theater building. It was clear that he was okay. But he rubbed his head lik mad. "Laughing now?" Tucker laughed himself.
Danny smiled and then looked around. "Sam, look out"
"What"
"LOOK OUT!" This time I heard it from Tucker.
There was a streak through the air and Danny pulled me off the ground before the huge ghost could grab me by my waist.
"You OK?" He said as we flew in the air.
"Yea. But height? Sometimes, they scare me." I look down.
Then I notice that I'm beginning to slip.
I climb up Danny's body untill I reach his hair. My hand dashed for it as an instinct.
"OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!" Danny said as I pulled on his head. He flew doward towards the floor. "Sorry." I mumble.
"It's Okay." He rubbed his head. "You stay down here with Tucker and watch out for the ghost"
"Ok"
"I'l be up on that building"
He flew up towads the building and looked down.
Then, everything ggot dark.
When the light appeared again, I saw Danny falling from the building. The ghost is gone. And the second Danny hits the ground, he lays motionless.
"Danny!" Tucker and I yell. I run over to him on the ground. "Tucker! Call the hospital!" I screamed to him.
Tucker was shocked. He stood there staring at Danny's body on the floor.
"TUCKER CALL 911 NOW!" I yelled.
And he dashed around the corner towards the nearest pay phone.
"AND HURRY!"
End Flashback
He must have been re-living the part when I pulled his hair in the air.
"Sorry." I mumble under my breath.
"What?" Paulina says.
"Nothing." I reply'
"Yor weird, Okay?" Paulaina says. "Why are you even here"
"The question is, why are you even here?" I said.
Paulain tuned around and stared at me in the eyes. "I wish you'd just leave"
"FINE!" I yelled. And I tunred and headed for the door.
I stare at them, then Danny. I opened the door, letting in the light and then slammed it on my way out.
Then I pressed my ear against the door.
I hear Paulina talking. "What is her problem?" Then she wakled over to Danny's bed and sat on it. I heard the squish of his matress. Paulaina? Sitting on Danny's bed. Next to Danny. How DARE she!
"Nothing is wrong with me!" I yell too loud.
I hear footsteps comming closer to the door. And before I can dash around the corner. Somebody yanked it open. It's Dash. He eyed me on the floor. "I thought you were leaving?" He said, then exetnded a hand to help me up.
I eyed him.
Dash helping me up? OKAAAAAAAAYYYYY.
But he eyed me back, and extended his hand further. I take it and brush myself off. "I was going to leave, but the nurse won't let me." I said. Wow! In a time like this, what do I do? LIE.
"WHAT?" Dash said. "Why not"
"How shoud I know?" I replied, leaning on the wall.
"I'm asking her!" Dash said, and he rushed towards Nurse Jillian, sitting behind the counter by the front of the hospital.
Nurse Jillian looks up at Dash.
"Excuse me? Are we allowed to leave?" Dash asked. He swayed back and forth, impatienty, as nurse Jillian raised an eyebrow.
I ran bhind Dash and shake my head, hard. Nurse Jillian seemed to notice. "No." She replied, not lokoing up from her notepad.
"What? Why not?" Dash asked, he tilted his head to one side. "You could. But Danny' could die today. Wouldn't you feel bad?" She says, still not loking up.
Dash's face gets red with anger and he turned around and headed back to the hospital room. Leaving me and Nurse Jillian alone. I heard Dash complaining to the others about us not being able to leave. How the 'Stupid Nurse' is making us feel bad if we left. I knew this was a lie, and excuse to stay. Nobody in that room cared about what anybody else thought abot them.
Dash eyed me and walked over to the door, slamming it in my face.
Nurse Jillian looked up at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing, nothing"
Nurse Jillian is pretty. She looked young. She had red hair, that she tried to die brunette, you can tell becasue of the highlights fading in her hair. She had makeup on, that she didn't need, so it gave me the thought that she could be in her late 20's. 28 years old maybe.
"What?" I said, when I noticed her still looking at me.
"You think I wasn't 14 years old, Ms. Manson"
"Huh"
"You don't think I had a crush on smebody"
"You...you think I have a thing for Danny" I said. I pretended to double over laughing. But I was really wondering how she figured that one out so quickly.
"Ah-ha." She said, then watche me.
I stare blankly at her, waiting for something else she could say.
"Are you going to tell him?" She asked.
"What? I don't have a thing for Danny." I said.
"Look, when I was your age I had a crush on a biy named Red. Red? Strange huh? But I was in love with this boy. Everytime he'd walk by, I'd almost faint. But I never told anybody. You hear me? Nobody. He never found out. I still liked him when I graduated college." She eyed me, making me nervous an wanting to hear more.
"We had our college reuinion early about a year ago. And we talked for hours. Later he told em he had the biggest crushon me. I was so happy. Then, I fond out he was married"
She loked down. "Is that what you want to happen to you, Ms. Manson"
"Call me Sam." I said.
I flashed into a day dream. It was my colledge reuinion. I'm wearing a purple dress. Danny comes to me and we talk for hours. then he tells me he is married.
"To whom?" I ask, In my daydream, i think he is kidding.
"Honey, come here." He calls to his wife...his 'honey.
A shadow comes closer and it's Paulina.
She pulls him close and they kiss.
He married Paulina?
I run out of the reunion home.
Then I snap back to real life.
"How do I know if he likes me back?" I asked her.
She yed me. "He talks about you"
"Huh"
"In his sleep"
"He's dreaming about he accident. I was there"
"Tucker? He was there right"
"Correct"
"He never said a word about him"
I step back.
Huh?
She could be on to something.
Maybe?
Nah.
"Your off your rocker, Mrs. Jillian"
"Am I"
And she pushed me back into the hospital room.
Paulina's POV:
That stupid goth girl is here.
Why is she here.
I'm bored. "I'm bored." I said.
"Theres a TV." Tucker said.
Kwan reaches for the TV.
He gets up from the counter and reaches for the remote. He flicks the TV on.
The news flashed on and a woman reporter is being shown. She is in the middle of the sentence. "...was pushed by what we think may be a ghost from this building here. Danny Fenton is now in good care at the Amity Park Hospital across the street from where the tragity happend. Jack and Maddie Fenton, parents of the boy, are sworn to catching the ghost responsible for it all, non other than, Inviso-bil"
What?
"Turn it off, Kwan." Sam said, rubbing her head.
Why is she so upset?
Kwan stares at the TV.
"TURN IT OFF KWAN!" I yelled. It wasn't Inviso-bil. I know it wasn't. And no matter what the news said, I wouldn't believe it.
I made a list inside my head.
What Inviso-bil Was Innocent:
1.) Sam saw the whole thing.
2.) I saw Inviso-bil falling. 3.) Sam said huge ghost. Inviso-bil isn't huge.
4.) He's a good ghost.
5.) He saved me.
It only 6 reasons. But he wasn't guilty of pushing Danny.
"He's not guilty!" I yelled, tossing my arm into the air. "He isn't!" I said again, when I got blank stares back.
"I agree." Sam said.
"Same." This time it was Tucker.
I shot them looks, but did nothing else. They were at least on my side.
Inviso-bil was Innocent. And nothing anybody said would change my mind.
Sam's POV:
What just happened?
The news they.
Danny, he.
But.
I.
At least Paulina thought Danny was innocent. Even if it was only becasue she was in love with Inviso-bil. You know, that makes me mad how she thinks she can have him now. Just becasue he saved her life twice. He saved mine a couple times. More than twice, I know that.
I looked at Danny, lying on the bed. He looked scared. But like he was too anxious to wake up from his dream.
I look at Tucker. He is swalowing like mad. Dash is sweating.
Kwan is leaning aganist the wall.
Star is checking her nails. What is it with her? Why is she even here? Gosh, I hate her.
Well, I guess while Danny's here, they can't catch Inviso-bil. And if Danny doesn't do anything funny, then nobody will find his secrect out.
Paulina jumped a mile and scremed. She pointed to Danny.
His hair was white.
I ran over to Danny and thrust the covers over his head.
"Is that Inviso-bil?" Paulina cooed.
"No"
"Let me see." She pushed me into a wall and yanked the covers off of Danny's head.
His hair was pitch black again. I sighed a relief. "Paulina, your going crazy." Tucker said, nervously.
"I just need to lie down." Paulain repiled, she scooted Star off the couch and sent her to the sink counter with Dash and Kwan so she could rest.
There was a knock on the door. Nurse Jillian poked her head in. "We have another guest. Maybe he can squeeze in?" A shadow emerged from behind the nurse.
It was a man with white hair. He was wearing a black suit. "Hi! I'm Vald. Mind if I come in?"
Candy- I hope you enjoy. And I have to give a specail thanks to cakreut12. She made up some of this too. I hope you enjoy the story. Vlad is going to be alone with Danny too, don't worry. )
