True To Your Heart

Chapter 14- Love, Hate, Anger, and Trust

Act 1: The Real Meaning of Love

Sam nodded her head slowly as she tried sucking in everything that Danny was telling her. In her mind, thoughts, feelings were jumbling together. Everything was getting mixed up and now that Danny has told his feelings towards her, what could she say? What can she say? She remembered all those times she had fought with Danny. The time where he got seriously into trouble by Mr. Lancer. The time he was caught in the girls bathroom, and the time she refused to believe her when she told him that Paulina didn't like him at all. He was just using him and Sam wondered if Danny figured that out. However, Sam got even with him when she didn't believe that Danny liked her. But now...it's different. Things have changed and right now she needed to tell Dash that she didn't go for air-headed imbeciles like him and then finally confess her feelings towards the man she loves! "What to say! What to say!" Sam shouted to herself. Sam shook her head, blocking any more thoughts in her mind. Snapping back to reality, Sam finally noticed that Danny was still holding her hand.

"Trust me" Danny whispered.

There it goes again. Trust. That was something she could do. Danny was her best friend. She needed to trust him. But, thinking it over and over again, Sam realized that she trusted him only as a friend, however trusting him more than that would be very difficult. Who knows what could happen? Paulina was a very deceptive, naive, persuasive girl. She could easily fool Danny because even she knew that when it comes to girls Danny was completely lost.

"OK" Sam answered insecurely. She smiled trying to assure to Danny that she trusted him to confess how he REALLY felt about Paulina.

The small moment between the two was soon interrupted but none other than Paulina who was standing next to Dash, prying into their conversation. "Danny! I've been waiting so long for you! Look, we are about to ride The Love Tunnel! Don't keep me waiting much longer!" Pauline whined as she struggled with her crutches.

"Yeah Fenton! Look at the line!" Dash added. Both Sam and Danny turned their heads to the long murmuring crowds that awaited behind Paulina.

"My papi gave me special tickets so I could be first in line. He said that the handicap must be treated extra special!" Paulina giggled flashing two tickets in her hands that rested on top of the crutches.

"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighhhhhhhhhhht. For the special" Sam repeated. "For the retarded" she mumbled so no one could hear her rude comment.

Dash gazed upon Sam as he stood there in awe. "I like your outfit. It's real cool!" Dash began, "I like the way the purple and black matches"

Danny blinked trying to push in the feeling of smacking Dash in the face. Didn't he know that Sam always wear purple and black? She's Gothic, yet he always made fun of her for that and just thinking about it- Danny didn't defend her much. He didn't defend her when Paulina made fun of Sam, right in her face! He didn't do anything! NOTHING at all! BUT now it's different. Something inside of him is telling him that things were going to change for the better. Step one was confessing his feeling towards Sam, the second step is making sure Paulina feels nothing for him, and the third step- the grand finale...is kissing Sam in the play to once and for all prove to her that he was sorry for being a stupid, dense, air headed imbecile and will promise to be his Romeo forever.

"Yeah nice" Paulina cleared her throat as if having difficulty agreeing that Sam ACTUALLY looked cool. "Pink wasn't your color anyway" Paulina smiled. "Let's go Danny" she pointed at the ride.

Danny did as he was told and followed Paulina preparing himself for what is to come.

Dash came over to Sam nervously. "I guess we should go in too" he suggested.

"Yeah. I have something to tell you Dash" Sam agreed and went in the ride.

Act 2: Secret Crush

Danny helped Paulina into the ride by taking her hand and helping her on board the swan shaped boat. It was colored white designed with pink hearts that dotted the side. The seats were just big enough for two people to sit in, however Danny found it difficult sitting next to Paulina since she had crutches to hold. Being such a kind person, he offered to hold the two long crutches for Paulina, noticing that she had trouble fitting in the sit without hurting her bandaged ankle.

"Thank you Danny!" Paulina smiled as he took her crutches. She made herself comfortable as she sat in the warm fluffy seat next to him.

Slowly, the swan moved gracefully with the sway of the water as it moved forward into the dark tunnel. Inside, the dark room was suddenly filled with a dim pink light that flashed on and off as it showed off the different designs in the tunnel. One design was a picture of a couple sitting on the edge of the cliff, holding one anothers hands and at that moment, slow, romantic music started to play. Above the two, the ceiling darkened as it portrayed night time and the stars slowly appeared one by one. After the stars were formed, Paulina pointed at each one and spelled the words loudly.

"I Love you" Paulina softly whispered as the stars directed in each point spelling out the three words.

Paulina turned to Danny smiling at his presence. He noticed it, and he wanted to return the so called friendly smile but he wasn't there to enjoy the view. He had to confess something to Paulina. "I've always wanted to ask you something" Danny started, "I didn't get a full response from you and now I ask you face to face and I want the truth" he declared.

Paulina sighed in reply. "I have something to tell you too"

"Do you really like me?" they both asked at the same time.

"Yes...at first but because I only looked at your features. Now that I think about it, I never liked you at all. In truth, I think you are very rude, selfish, and all you can ever think about is yourself" Danny stated, "If you are planning something to break me and Sam apart...it won't work! I don't like you and I never will. The only reason I agreed to take you to the fair is NOT because I feel anything for you but to tell you the truth. I'm sorry that you got hurt but further on, you are on your own. I have someone I consider very important to me but I let her down, embarrassed her, hurt her, all because of you! The mere thought that I actually liked wasn't real! And I regret every single second that I wasn't with Sam, and I regret that I didn't take her word that you were just using me as part of your pawn!" Danny confessed. All the regret, hate, sadness, and anger that fumed his chest was now gone. He felt better that he finally said what he intended to say. He knew the difference from love, hate, anger, and trust. He felt that Sam was to be trusted and he knew he loves her. The hate and anger in their feud was gone. The stress about whether he liked Sam or Paulina or even both was now clear to him! He felt so free at last!

Paulina's mouth nearly dropped to the floor. Her mind was filled with so many thoughts. "I prove my point! You DO love her and I knew that from the beginning" Paulina confessed, "I know that I've been bitchy to everyone and to be all honest I liked staying at the hospital since I got to watch my soap operas plus the food but now I must wear this stupid crutches for another week until my ankle heals. It's so uncool! But I thought it was more weird when you just couldn't tell me how you felt Danny. I mean if you didn't like me that was fine because I didn't like you either. I wanted to get Sam jealous" Paulina remarked, "And I did a good job! My heart is taken"

"By Dash?" Danny guessed raising an eyebrow.

"Eww!" Paulina stuck her tongue out. "Totally not! Dash is good as a friend like the way these capri fits me perfectly"

"Uh huh"

"I'm in love with Ghost Boy!" Paulina giggled. Her eyes were filled with hearts as she doze off into her imagination. Danny wanted to hysterically laugh out loud. If Paulina knew that he was the Ghost Boy, she would probably never let him go, but he thought, some secrets are better left unknown. The ride finally reached an end when a bright light was seen down the tunnel. Danny smiled at his accomplishment. Ghost Boy does his job saving the world from paranormal activities and now Danny must take over part time. He must do the most difficult thing a guy can ever do- ask a girl out.

Act 3: Sam's Confession, Dash's Heartbreak

The swan slowly moved through the shallow water while both Sam and Dash sat quietly enjoying the scenery.

"Sam" Dash recalled, clearing his throat. "I know I may not be the smartest guy in the world. My grades stink, and I'm a big jerk, but I just like to say that you're the exact opposite. Sam you're like soooo smart, and your grades don't stink, and you aren't a jerk. I guess I could learn allot from you so I'm asking...would you be my girlfriend for real this time? Fenton isn't here so I'm not making him jealous"

Sam whistled at his statement. For once, Dash said the most smartest thing he could ever say...in his whole life! This is a once in a lifetime chance. Since when did Dash like someone else other than himself?

"Why do you even like me? I know that you started to look at me differently when I changed my look! Practically everyone did"

"You changed because you love someone and I want to do the same thing. You showed me that people can change"

"You know I love someone already, Dash" said Sam, stating the obvious.

"Fenton right?"

Sam rolled her eyes away, indicating he was right.

"I know it's him" Dash took in a deep breath. "What do you see in him?"

Sam turned her head towards Dash and stared at him with her violet eyes. "I see someone I can trust, and love. I see someone who I can depend when I need help. I see a person that I can really care for"

"And what do you see in me?"

Sam gave a deep breath. "I think you're a jerk, who's full of himself and thinks that the world revolves around him!"

"Ouch!" Dash retorted as he shrugged his shoulders from the comment he just heard.

"But...I also see someone who can change"

"Really?" Dash's smile broadened with hope.

"Someone who can look at things differently, but someone not for me. I don't like you Dash. My heart is taken. However, I'm sure you will find what you're looking for"

"Sam..." Dash sniffed as his voice went low. "Do you also see a friend?"

Sam nodded her head. "Yes"

To be continued.

A/N I think this chapter goes back and refrains from what has happened in the past. I hope it's really good because this story is about to end. I'm sorry to say it, but I have been on this story for 5 months and for those times- I received the best reviews ever! Thanks to everyone!
