Devoted to my two bestest online friends : Kendra and Nicole

"I seriously can't believe that you actually made up with Danny,"Jonathan exclaimed looking at Sam. "You are over him, right?"

Sam rolled her eyes. She loved Jonathan but he got jealous so easily. "Listen, Danny's just a friend... a FRIEND, I love you, okay," Sam threw her hands up in the air. "Sometimes Jonathan, you really get to me," Sam went over to her friends Desiree, Kendra and Shanelle. "Geez, sometimes I wish that Jonathan was a little more like Danny..." she told them.

"Ha! Your lucky, at least you have someone who loves you, Matt is so blind, if I went up and told him I loved he still probably wouldn't know..." Desiree sighed.

"Well, Nick and I do go out but he never hugs me much or anything, you know? He really gets to me sometimes you know?" Shanelle sat down.

Kendra laughed. "I don't worry about the relationship thing for me because I'm more focused on school," she said.

Desiree stared at her. "Right ... and I'm more interested in Dragon Ball Z than Matt," she said.

Everyone laughed. Sam sat down."I seriously can't believe that Jonathan would get so jealous," she said. "But who cares, I'm friend with Danny now and I'm happy ... oh yeah, I pretended to want to make up with Paulina, and now she has gotto keep her mouth shut around me or she knows I'll tell Danny," Sam told the group.

"Why would you even give a flying hott about their relationship?" Desiree asked. "Are you really over Danny?" she cocked up an eyebrow.

"Um... YEAH! Of course... what do you think... no, I love Jonathan and not Danny... he's the past.." Sam shuttered. She tried to make everyone believe something that was obviously a bunch of bull.

"Right... and you aspect us to believe THAT?" Kendra laughed.

"I sure don't," Shanelle added.

" Me neither," Desiree agreed.

"OH FUGDE BUCKETS!" Kendra yelled.

"What?" Desiree looked at Kendra strangly.

"It looks like Paulina's outside with another guy, how come Danny's not spying on her or anything?" Kendra asked.

"Danny trusts her. He don't need to watch her, although I think he should. He puts too much trust into her when I think she's cheating on him," Sam told the girls.

"How'd you know?" Shanelle asked.

"Well, I saw her..." Sam told them.

"What, you did..." Desiree started.

"And you never told Danny?" Kendra asked.

"Hello? Remember, Danny and I just only made up like ten minutes ago and do you think he'd believe me? Over Paulina..." Sam said. "He might think I still love him or something..."

"But you do," Kendra said.

"No, I don't. Please, just keep it down okay?" Sam said. Sam walked away from the girls and looked out the window that led to another room down the hall and sure enough there was Paulina kissing Dash. Then she quickly ran in and ran up to Danny kissed him and she walked over to Sam.

"Hello Samantha," Paulina said in her annoying voice.

"The names Sam, and what do you want?" Sam glared at Paulina.

"Don't act like that or I'll tell Danny and then you'll never get to talk to him again because I know you still love him and I can make him hate you," Paulina said.

Sam slied. "One, I don't love Danny only as a friend, two, I know your cheating on him, I saw you with Dash and I could just as easily tell him that," Sam looked at Paulina. "You scank," she whispered.

Paulina looked at her. "Whatever, like Danny would believe you anyway?" she said.

"Oh, he would. I knows that he would and if you don't watch it, I'll prove it," Sam said and then she walked over to Jonathan and grabbed his hand. "Lets go for a walk down the hall, I want to talk," Sam said.

Jonathan squeezed Sam's small hand in his bigger and stronger one. "What's wrong honey?" he asked as they walked down the hall.

"Well, you see a long time ago before Danny and I went out, well Danny was going to go on a date with Paulina, but I over heard her say that she was only using him. I didn't tell him and when I was helping him to get ready for the date, I slipped out the truth and he got angry because I kept it from him. Now, I know that she's cheating on him... I saw her with Dash, I confronted her and told her, she don't think Danny would believe but I told her to watch it because I'll tell. I really hate Paulina and Danny's my best friend, I don't want him to get hurt by someone like her and I know I should tell him but... I don't know..." Sam stopped. "What do you think I should do Jonathan?" she asked hugging into her boyfriend.

"Well, Sam this is your decision but ... my advice for you is that you should tell Danny. If he's as great as you say he is, he don't deserve to be treated like this by Paulina. If Paulina's done almost the same thing before and Danny's gotten angry because you haven't told him, I think he'd want you to tell him," Jonathan told Sam. "But is this what it's really about, Do you just not want him to get hurt or do you want him back? Because Sam, I know girls try to break up couples just to get the guy they want..." Jonathan said.

Sam slapped Jonathan across the face. "We've been through this enough times now. And if you don't start believing me that I love you and only you then I'll soon end it. I just don't want Danny to get hurt, okay?" Sam looked at Jonathan. "I wish you stop accusing me of still loving him you know? It scares me... I don't want to lose you, ya know?" she said.

Jonathan looked at Sam. "I'm sorry, it's just that I know you and Danny were close and well somestimes I feel that I'll lose you because your so wonderful and I feel I don't deserve you and that you'll go back to Danny because sometimes I even think you guys are meant to be, and that's why I'm so hard on you guys..." he hugged Sam and kissed her lightly on the lips. The light kiss soon turned into a passionate one which was interupted by Danny.

"You guys Lancer's coming," Danny yelled then he looked at the two and he blushed. "Sorry, I didn't realize you two were... anyway we'd better get outta here, Lancer will have a cow," he said.

Sam and Jonathan linked hands again and they ran back to the main room and sat down on one of the couches. Danny went to sit by Paulina on one of the beds.

"Hello everyone," Mr. Lancer said in a soft, calm voice when he entered the room. "I have some very sad news to report," he told the group.

Sam looked up along with the rest of the group. "Mr. Fenton please come with me," Mr. Lancer said. Danny got up and he left the room with Mr. Lancer.

Sam got up and walked around the room. Why did Mr. Lancer want to see Danny alone... was the bad news that something happend to? No, Danny's parents had to fine, they just had too. Jazz was at the school so she was fine... what was it? Jonathan joined Sam and he put his arms around her. "Honey, don't worry... " he told her.

"Jonathan, somethings wrong. Something bad has happend and it's obviously something to do with Danny..." Sam said. " I hope Maddie and Jack are fine," she said. Then Sam walked across the other side of the room and joined her friends until Danny returned to the room. When he did return, he had tears in his eyes.

Paulina was the first one to walk up to him. Danny hugged Paulina and he just wouldn't stop crying. "Danny... like, stop crying, a real man wouldn't cry," she said.

Danny looked at Paulina. "My parents are dead Paulina..." Danny sat down on a bed and cried even more.

"Danny, stop it, your embrassing me..." Paulina looked at Danny. "I'm leaving, I'll be back when you stop crying like a baby," and with that, Paulina left the room.

Danny lid down and he buried his face in a pillow. Sam walked over to him. "Danny..." she said putting a hand on his shoulder. "Just ignore her, she needs to grow up, not you," Sam said.

"But she's my girlfriend Sam, I'd thought she'd be there for me," Danny said.

Sam looked at Danny. "Um, Danny, there's something I feel that is my place to tell you," Sam said.

Danny looked at Sam. "What's that?" he asked.

"Paulina's, well, I don't know how to say this so Danny, just know I'm here for you, alright?" Sam put her hand on top of his.

"Okay..." Danny stared at Sam with his tear stained eyes.

"I don't think this really is the right time to tell you with the bad news and all but better sooner than later... Paulina... she's cheating on you," Sam said.

Danny looked at Sam. "What?" Danny looked down at his feet. "No, she wouldn't do that to me..." he said. Danny started to cry even harder. "But I know you'd never lie to me.." he cried even harder. "Oh Sam, why? Am I really that bad of a person?" he hugged into Sam.

Sam hugged back. "You deserve better Danny, way better. Paulina's nothing... she's nothing at all. You can get better your a great guy and if anyone knows that, it's me," Sam told him.

Danny looked at Sam."Thanks, now can we go find Paulina so I can dump her?" Danny asked.

"If it makes you feel any better," Sam said.

"I don't know, I might as well get it over. My parents just died you know, and I kind of need to get everything else out of the air. I know your there for me and I'll get through my parents death with you and sis, and all my other friends," Danny said.

"Of course you will, your strong Danny, your strong," Sam said.

And with that Danny and Sam went to find Paulina. When they found Paulina they caught her, in a closet with Dash both of them naked.

"Ah, gross..." Sam turned away along with Danny.

"PAULINA!" Danny yelled. "You little scank. Sam was right, I knew she'd never lie to me... you little... I hate you, it's over," Danny turned to Sam.

Sam laughed at the two in the closet. "Haha, it looks like the big jock got a small ..." Danny covered Sam's mouth. "EW... sorry, I didn't realize what I was saying I just had to..." she told Danny.

"And you just had to look now didn't you?" Danny asked.

"No, I love you... I mean Jonathan and I'm not in love with Dash... gross..." Sam said.

Danny laughed. "I just messing with ya, c'mon lets go," he said.

Sam looked at him. "Danny, I'm really sorry about your parents you know..." she said. "It must be really hard," The two slowly walked down the hall.

"It is, but I've got you," Danny said putting his arm around Sam."And I'm thankful for that,"

Sam blushed. "Thanks. I'm glad were friends again too, it's just Jonathan thinks I still like you, and it's causing a lot of problems for us," she said.

"Oh," Danny looked dow at his feet. "Am I going to lose you again?" he asked looking at Sam. He started to cry again.

"Danny.." Sam stopped. Danny had ran off by himself crying again. Things just couldn't get any worst than what they already were now could they?
