Chapter 3: Accidentally in Love

"Sam, you wanna do anything with Danny and I today?" Tucker asked me on the phone, it was Sunday, and I was all hyped up about the time I had spent with Danny, not my friend Danny, but my new umm, ghost boyfriend Danny. Both of them were hot, and I seemed to have a nag for the both of them, but I ended up with the ghost. It was odd, and I wasn't so sure he was too sure about it, but you know.

"Umm, yea sure!" I said, and you could tell I was overly happy, especially since I was supposed to be the dim one around here.

"All right," He said oddly, as though I had just made him feel uncomfortable.

"Whose house am I going to?"

"Danny's," He replied, and I thought about it. No longer could I go out with Danny though, I mean I guess I couldn't really choose between the two on who I would want to go out with more. I loved them both the same, and they were so much alike, it was kind of scary.

"All right, well, I'll be on my way there in a couple of minutes, see ya."

"Bye," he said, and the two of us hung up. I sighed, what if Danny still liked me though? I didn't know why, but it came to my head all the sudden. What if he built up the courage to ever ask me out, then what would I do? Tell him I already have a boyfriend? He wouldn't ever believe that, since I usually hated every person I came across.

I got up and looked through my dresser, pulling out a pair of purple baggy jeans, and a tight black belly shirt. I changed my clothes and then looked in the mirror and brushed my hair out, it was so easy when it was short. In yet it might look a little better if it was slightly longer. I couldn't make up my mind, Of course I wanted to keep the gothic ness, but you know, a change is always good.

I put on some purple eye shadow and the usual purple lipstick and ran down the stairs; my mom was sitting there contently reading something online while my dad was in a chair looking at something in the newspaper.

"I'm headed to Danny's, see you later," I told them, and my mom just nodded. The one thing I DID like about my parents, was they let me go over there pretty much whenever I wanted, I guess that was because I was so close to them, and my parents had known Danny for a long time. Although they didn't like him or his family all that too much, but that was all right.

I walked down the street, the only good thing about living in town, was because my friends were close by me. Other than that I would prefer to live out where I can go on walks and enjoy the fresh air, but I couldn't always get what I wanted.

When I arrived at the house he was already standing at the door and he let me in.

"Still waiting on Tucker," he said, and I nodded, and stood next to him waiting. I couldn't help but still love him too, my eyes kept a slight gaze on him, he was so cute, but I could no longer like him I guess. I guess though he would be better than the ghost in a few ways. He would always be there for me; he was human, and well… I had known him forever. In yet both of them were mysterious and seemed to disappear all the time, and both of them were extremely hot, and looked similar in many ways, but there was no way they were the same person, it was impossible.

"Hey guys!" Tucker said swinging the door open breaking my thoughts and I lifted my hand up in a slight wave, "hey."

"Come on," Danny said and we all walked up the stairs to his room. It was pretty much hanging out at his house, this walk was made every time, and then we would find ourselves in his room doing nothing all day. Once we were there we all sat down, Danny and I on his bed, and Tucker in his rolly chair that was for the computer.

"So… what do you guys wanna do?" Tucker said breaking the silence of the room, and both Danny and I shrugged. There was something different about him today, as though he was shy around me or something.

"You Ok Danny?" I asked him, and he shook his head, but said nothing.

"You seem a little hyped up this morning," tucker said, looking at me, and I smiled, "Yea, just a little."

"Why is that?" Danny asked me, and I shrugged, "I dunno, guess I just am."

"Oh, seems like there should be a reason. After all, you ARE Goth," Tucker teased me.

"Just because I'm Goth doesn't mean I can't be happy."

"Well… it's just unusual."

"I've been happy a lot of times," I told him, of course Tucker and I had to get our arguments in, all of them started by Tucker of course.

"She's right Tucker, I think sometimes you are less happy than she is usually," Danny said, he always was on my side, since after all, I was always right. Tucker just had to be against everything you said, which could get annoying.

"Why do you say that?" He asked, and Danny sighed, "Because, you complain too much."

"Ok, can we stop arguing?" I said, it got annoying that he always had to start it, and make sure it kept on going. Although I guess that would have been the prefect time for me to just space out and think about Danny, but ya know, it would be kind of odd.

"Yes," Danny agreed and we both gave Tucker a mad stare, "Sorry," he said feeling ashamed now for even bothering to start it. We were his only friends, you would think he would treat us a little better than he does and respect us a little more, but I guess he was just Tucker. There was nothing you could do about that.

"Ok let's play… truth or dare!" Tucker said happily, as though he had just invented the game or something.

"Ok, I guess," Danny said, and I shrugged, "Fine by me."

"I get to start, Danny, truth or dare?"

"Truth," he said and smiled. Of course when we are best friends, truth is always the easiest, since we know just about everything about each other.

"What's something about you I DON'T know about?"

"I dunno," he shrugged, which meant everything that he wanted Tucker to know was out in the open.

"There has to be something," he said, he wasn't going to believe Danny on that one, and I wasn't either, I mean of course we were best friends, but we didn't always wanna share everything amongst each other.

"No, not really," Danny said honestly, and tucker sighed. I saw Danny shiver from the corner of my eye, and I looked over at his nervous face.

"I'll be right back," he said, and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. I looked at Tucker as though looking for an answer, but he shot the same glance back at me. Then the room suddenly got cold, and I noticed that there was something wrong.

"There's a ghost," I said under my breath, and Tucker looked at me, but then figured he was hearing things wrong. In front of our face appeared a ghost, like I had predicted, due to the fact that I had encountered them a few times in my past. And I knew all to well that along with them came Danny. Why had the other Danny ran off though? Did he know what was going on, and just decided to go get his parents or something? There was no telling, like I said before, he could be so mysterious sometimes.

I didn't scream though, merely because I knew I was safe now, and only for that. Tucker on the other hand looked at it in fright, even though he wasn't what it was after. He was headed after me, as though all the ghosts that I encountered were after me, but why?

He picked me up off the ground, this time a different ghost than the first time. He was a lot bigger, and a little creepier at that. He had a lot of muscle, which I never thought ghosts would actually show signs of things like that, I thought they were just ghosts pretty much, he looked like a flying human, except green and blue.

"Why do you guys keep trying to take me?" I asked him once I was once again being flown over town, pretty much waiting for Danny to be there, where was he?

"Job," he said in a muffled voice, he kind of sounded as though he had no voice, just a whisper, which made him all the scarier to me. He jerked really fast all the sudden and the two of us went falling for a ways then he got back on track and turned, and now Danny was in clear view.

The ghost had no fear, none of the two of them did. As though they could care less about any of it at all. Danny shot a green beam out of his hand and it hit the ghost that was holding onto me on his arm causing him to drop me, and Danny was a blur coming to grab me, but I ended up in his arms anyway, just what I wanted. It was worth it to get taken in by the ghosts in a way, as long as I believed he would be there for me.

The other ghost left as soon as he realized his defeat, and I looked back up into Danny's glowing green eyes.

"Thanks," I told him, and squeezed him tightly.

"No problem," he said and smiled, and brought me back around to the front door of Danny's house. It was as though he was there watching over me, he knew right where the ghost was, and right where I needed to go back to.

"See you again later?" He asked, and I nodded, "Sure." He hugged me quickly then flew off towards the sky. It was always a mystery as to where he went off to all the time.

I walked back into Danny's house and ran back up the stairs. I opened up Danny's door to see him and Tucker sitting in there, and Danny ran up to me when I walked in the door.

"You Ok?" He asked and threw his arms around me.

"Yea," I said hugging him back. He let go and the two of us walked back and sat on the side of his bed. It was as though I was split between Danny and Danny. One I was going out with that I didn't even know that much, and the other one I had known my whole life and I could tell he WANTED to go out with me, but now I couldn't do that. Was I stupid, or what? I fell in love with a stranger and went out with him instead of the guy that had really been there my whole life.

"What happened?" Tucker asked me, since he had seen me get taken out of the room.

"Nothing… really," I said, although that was a total lie, because obviously something had happened, I was just swept out of the room by a ghost.

"Something obviously happened! Is that your boyfriend?" Tucker said joking, referring to the ugly thing that had carried me out of the room. Yes, the one that carried me back here was, but if I mentioned him it would break Danny's heart, and plus I would be known weirder than I already am.

"NO! He was kinda creepy," I said and tried to distance myself from making it seem as though I was scared or anything.

"Well, then how did you get back here? What was he doing with you?"

"I have no idea," I said, and Danny was just watching us argue about it again, or rather say he was watching me get annoyed by Tucker's repeating question, when Tucker knew I wasn't going to answer anytime soon.

"Just leave her alone," Danny said anyway, although he really was trying to stay out of it, and I smiled at him, sending him a thank you. He smiled back, and Tucker just sat there and looked at us.

"Now I know something Danny, you have a crush on Sam," He said, heading back the truth he was asking of Danny, and Danny blushed and looked back at Tucker and his expression angered.

"No."

"I think so, you guys like each other," He said as though we were little kids. As though going out with someone would be a big deal to him. Although I guess with me being Sam, and him Danny it was kind of unusual for us.

"So what if we do?" I said, and Danny looked at me oddly, as though saying that was odd. I knew it was odd, because I already had a boyfriend, but I mean why would Danny think that? We both knew we liked each other, and we always had for a long time.

"Then why don't you go out?" Tucker asked, and I shrugged, "We can't."

"Why not?"

"I just can't."

"Tucker, stop it," Danny said, his face no longer held redness, but he was more serious now. Tucker was being awfully annoying today.

"I gonna get out of here," Tucker said after about 3 more hours, and I stayed at Danny's house. I was going to stay there just because I felt I had to.

"Good thing he is gone, huh?" I said shyly to him, and he nodded.

It was an odd silence that filled the room. One that made you want to scream just to break it because you knew it was because you and your friend were having something going on between the two of you. It was one of those silences when you felt as though the whole world was going to shatter any minute from the tension trying to release.

"So… what are you going to do since we have Monday off tomorrow?"

"I dunno," He said. I just had to say something, no matter how dumb it sounded.

"You wanna go do something?"
"Sure, a movie sound good?"

"Yea, that sounds good," I said shyly. Oh great, now I was going on a date with one guy, and dating the other. I guess it wouldn't hurt…

Did ya like it? Danny is kinda messing with her, huh? Lol. Anyway, PLEASE review, you know how much I love reviews!
