AN: Yes, I use both the word "had" and commas too many times. Enjoy!
"Why'd you say that?"
(Rose Falcon)
Sam sat in her room, the door locked and the black-out curtains drawn. Loud rock music boomed out of speakers hidden somewhere in the shadows. Her parents were concerned, but they knew better to confront their daughter when she was like this.
See, about an hour ago, Danny told her what he had been afraid to tell her for a long time. He told her that he loved her.
Sam, upon hearing this, had run home and went into her room, where she hadn't left since.
It wasn't that she didn't love him back. Heavens, no, she had loved him for longer than she had even known it. It was just that it scared her, scared her to death loving her best friend. She shuddered.
What if they broke up? She couldn't live without him.
Poor Danny, Sam had just left him there without another word. What must he think? Sam felt so guilty about that.

Unknown to Sam, Danny was floating outside her window. He wanted to talk to her. He could hear the music play, and knew as bad as her parents not to approach her yet.
He'd wait forever out her window.
---
Sam fell back onto her bed, wanting to scream.
She froze as a new song started. The only song that could describe how she felt. She hummed the beginning melody. Then she started to sing along to it, softly and than louder.
Did I ask for this
I didn't ask for anything
If I did I don't remember
Stop messing with my head
---
Danny heard Sam start singing, and listened. She sang so well, he thought.

This is my heart it's not a game
It's really not fair if you're playing
Why'd you say that
Why'd you have to tell me
Why'd you have to tell me
Why'd you have to tell me
that you loved me
Why'd you say that
Somebody might get hurt
Broken promise jagged edge
Somehow I feel like I'm in danger
I'm trying not to fall
I'm dangling by your every word
So if you're not gonna catch me
Why'd you say that
Why'd you have to tell me
Why'd you have to tell me
Why'd you have to tell me
that you loved me
Tell me that you loved me
Why'd you say that
Why'd you have to tell me
Why'd you have to tell me...
If you're gonna take it back
Go on, paint the sunshine black
If you're gonna tear my world apart
Why'd you say I need you
Why'd you say I love you
Why'd you say always
Why'd you say always
Why'd you say na na na na na na
naaa oh oh na na na na na na
naa oh oh oh oh
Why'd you say that
Why'd you have to tell me
Why'd you have to tell me
Why'd you have to tell me
that you loved me
Why'd you say that
Why'd you say that
Why'd you have to tell me
Why'd you have to tell me
Why'd you have to tell me
that you loved me
Tell me that you love me
Why'd you say that
Why'd you say that?
The song ended. Sam sighed, she felt better now, but she was still guilty about how she had left Danny. She turned off the music and reached over to her bat-winged phone. She dialed his cell phone number.
The ring was heard outside her window. She hung up and went to open her window.
"Danny?"
Danny phased through the glass, his head hung. "I'm sorry." He transformed into Danny Fenton, "I just…wanted to talk…and…"
He couldn't finish, because she kissed him.
