Hi, folks! Got a few more reviews lately, so thank you all! And also, I don't really like chapters with songs in them, so I'm taking out "My Immortal" by Evanescence that Kagome51 put in. Hope that's okay!

Well, I won't keep you waiting any longer. Here's Chapter 5! Will Danny survive?

Running through the park, a pair of teenagers laughed and skipped along the path, chasing and tackling each other. When the boy was tired, he tackled the girl once more. His deep, crystal blue eyes met her lavender.

The girl laughed as her stomach muscles tensed and tears of joy ran down her face. The boy wiped them away and caressed her cheeks gently and lovingly. She gazed back at him and smiled wide.

"I love you," the boy said with a look of love in his eyes.

"I love you too," the girl answered, returning his loving look.

Sam awoke with a start. She looked around and saw with disappointment that she was back in the hospital sitting in a chair. Tucker was next to her, snoring away.

"I must have been dreaming…" Sam wiped her face with her hands. The dream had seemed real enough, but now that she had awakened, it seemed like too much of a fairy tale to be real. Currently, Sam wished the whole last month or so had been one big horrific nightmare, and that she would just suddenly wake up and find that the whole thing had never happened. But she knew that wouldn't happen.

At some point down the hall, Sam heard screaming. She fell asleep before the doctors had taken Danny to his room, so she didn't know where he was staying. She followed the sound down the hall, afraid of what she would find.

She watched as Dr. Kitsune stepped out of the room down the far hall. When he spotted her, he walked towards her, a look of sorrow clearly written on his face. When he stopped before her, he couldn't even look into her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Sam," said Dr. Kitsune, "Danny is gone."

Sam froze as her world shattered to pieces…

Sam suddenly woke up screaming.

"Calm down, Sam!" shouted Tucker next to her, "It's me, Tucker!" He restrained her from hurting herself. People in the waiting room with them glared in annoyance.

Sam stopped screaming as she grabbed onto Tucker's shirt and clung to him, saying, "I hate bad dreams, I hate bad dreams," under her breath.

Tucker held her close to comfort her. As he ran his hand through the sad girl's her, he heard footsteps coming towards them. Dr. Kitsune stopped before them.

The doctor sighed, "Danny is stable for now. But without life support, he can't breath on his own. His heart is weakened because of the spell, so we must have a nurse check on him every fifteen minutes to make sure it's still beating. It looks very grim for your friend and I can't guarantee that he will last through the night. I'm very sorry about all this."

It was not something Sam had been hoping for, but at least he wasn't dead…yet.

"Thanks, doc," said Tucker, "and it's okay. It's not your fault. We better get going. Danny's parents should know." Tucker gently grabbed Sam's wrists and pulled her from the chair, leading them out of the hospital.

"How…how long has this been going on?" Maddie looked at the two teenagers' faces with a tear-stained face after Tucker and Sam told them what happened upon reaching Danny's house.

"About a month," said Tucker, looking at the ground, "Danny didn't want you two to worry about him." Sam sat next two him on the couch in the living room, staring blankly at the wall.

"You should have told us," said Jazz, wiping tears from her eyes, "Now we know about it, but he's already on life support."

"We're sorry…" said Tucker, and he truly looked it.

"We'll visit him tomorrow," said Jack, "For now, everyone, let's go to bed." He pointed to Tucker and Sam, "You two, go home. We'll come pick you up first thing in the morning." He then stood up, and walked up the stairs.

The next morning, Danny's family and Tucker had already gone to the hospital. Sam was home, sitting on her bed, looking as sad as ever. She had refused to go. She couldn't bear to see Danny like that…lying on the bed seeming lifeless.

Besides, he was probably going to die. What point did she have of living if he wasn't going to? Danny was the one Sam had always cared about the most. It intensified when Danny got his ghost powers, and it soared above the heavens when they had discovered Danny's fate. Without him, there was really no point Sam had in living.

Why didn't he just die if it was inevitable? It would be better for him if to just get it over with. He wouldn't have to suffer…

But she would. That continued Sam's dark thoughts of how pointless it would be to have her live and Danny not. Even though Danny's pain would end when he went, for her, it would never end. Not until she joined him. But she couldn't wait…

He is all I think about, thought Sam, if only I could find a way I couldn't think about him.

Her eyes drifted over to a sharp knife on her desk next to her bed. There was only one way to end it. The one she truly loved was dying. She would be with him. It was the only way. Before she picked up the knife, her thoughts drifted back to when they first met.

Flashback:

A little five year old girl walked into her kindergarten class. Just moving to Amity Park, she didn't have any friends. A lot of kids made fun of her for being new.

But through it all, one boy didn't. He shouted above everyone else, "Leave her alone!"

Everyone else stopped as the boy walked towards her. One of the boys shouted, "Oooh, the new girl's got a boyfriend!"

The boy ignored them and said to the girl, "Don't mind them. They pick on me too."

"Thanks," said the girl, "Uh, who are you?"

"My name's Danny. Danny Fenton. What's yours?"

"Samantha Manson, but if you're smart, you'll call me Sam."

"Okay. Listen, I don't have any friends. Do you want to be my first friend?"

"Sure!" shouted Sam and she hugged him. Danny was taken aback but he hugged her back.

He had hugged her when he cried, comforted her when she was scared, and was the only one who truly loved her for who she truly was.

She had done the same for him. She was always there for him, as she would be now.

She was so in love with him. He was in her dreams, her thoughts; she pictured his face wherever she went. He was the only one she could possibly think about. She was going insane without him; she had to be with him. But not like this. Not on Earth.

She turned to the knife that now rest in her hands. She watched it shine from the light the sun let in through the window. Why did it have to end like this? Why couldn't it be different? She dreamed of growing old with him, having kids and a big house with a pool. All her dreams of that were going up in smoke.

Nothing could be done to save him. And if he wasn't coming back, then neither would she.

She put the knife to her wrist, and cringed as she sliced it open. Her last thoughts were of Danny's smiling face.

Big cliffhanger, wasn't it? Well, not too big, I guess. Will Sam's suicide attempt succeed? How long could it be before anyone finds her? And how much longer does Danny have? Find out in Chapter 6!
