This story is based on "Back Here" by BBMak. I don't think that band made it for very long. I only ever heard one of their songs, and then poof! They were gone…

A quick note from the author: This one's sad and short. If you don't like sad a short, I suggest skipping this one. Also, if you've ever seen the music video for this song, this story is nothing like that music video. Danny is not going to be standing in the middle of an airport singing this song and playing the guitar. People will not be throwing money into his guitar case (because he won't have one), and Sam is not coming back at the end! Oops, I just gave away the ending. Ah, maybe you won't read this. Maybe if I just keep making it look longer and longer some of you will go, "Okay, that paragraph does not look like a "quick note" from the author. It looks like a long, rambling thing that just goes on forever." Well, enough rambling because perhaps many of you skipped this note and decided to move on to the story. Oh, I hope you did because I gave away the ending in this paragraph! Like you didn't know it was going to happen anyway! Haven't you noticed my pattern yet? Happy, sad, happy, sad, happy, sad…. And so on and so forth. :D

Misery

Danny walked down the street, his hands stuffed in his pockets. Not a day went by where he didn't think of Sam. How could he not? It was his dumb fault that she had moved away. He was the jerk that had made her leave. No one believed him, but that was because they didn't know.

Baby set me free from this misery

I can't take it no more

Since you went away nothing's been the same

Don't know what I'm living for

Here I am so alone

And there's nothing in this world I can do

Until you're back here baby

Miss you want you need you so

Until you're back here baby yeah

There's a feeling inside I want you to know

You are the one and I can't let you go

He still remembered that day like it was yesterday. Sam had accidentally let it slip that she loved him. He had been too shocked to say anything, and she had run in shame. He had felt like a jerk after that and planned to make it up to her…later.

So I told you lies even made you cry

Baby I was so wrong

Girl I promise you now my love is true

This is where my heart belongs

'Cause here I am so alone

And there's nothing in this world I can do

Until you're back here baby

Miss you want you need you so

Until you're back here baby yeah

There's a feeling inside I want you to know

You are the one and I can't let you go

Unfortunately, things hadn't worked out that way. They went from bad to worse. Danny and Sam had a fight the next day, and he childishly told her he hated her. He had never seen Sam cry, and he was too stupid to run after her when she fled. One week later, he went to her house to apologize only to find they had moved.

And I wonder, are you thinking of me

'Cause I'm thinking of you

And I wonder

Are you ever coming back in my life?

'Cause here I am so alone

And there's nothing in this world I can do

Until you're back here baby

Miss you want you need you so

Until you're back here baby yeah

There's a feeling inside I want you to know

You are the one and I can't let you go

She had left a note. It wasn't emotional; it wasn't hateful. She was upset and hurt, and Danny had wished he had had the time to apologize and tell her just how much she really meant to him.

A/N: Now, those of you that know my work really well (cough) Sam (cough) know that there is still some hope even in this sad tale that Danny and Sam will end up together. Besides, this is just one of many stories in this collection. I just might break my pattern and make more happy ones than sad ones. But then my emotions would be more happy than sad, making me really hyper. If I even them out then my emotions are even and then I'm just kind of…neutral. Can you feel neutral? Hmm…
