"Wait,why dont you follow me back to my apartment, it's kinda a long story."
Sam nodded, she walked back to her car where Geoff was waiting. "I'm driving." Sam announced.
"Um ok, what's this about?"
"I'll explain on the way ok?"
"Ok." Geoff answered raising an eyebrow. But he moved to the passengers seat.
Tucker and Valerie's apartment was only fifteen minutes from the school. Sam eagerly followed the couple up the stairs and into their apartment. Tucker motioned for her and Geoff to sit on the pale yellow couch. Tucker sat opposite in a pale chair. The room was crowded with boxes.
"Why dont I get some coffee started." Valerie suggested.
"I'll help." Geoff offered.
She nodded and the two went into the kitchen. Geoff wanted to get to know Valerie and he also knew whatever was going to be said was really not his buisness and he knew probably wouldnt get it.
"So you're good friends with Sam?" Valerie asked as she started the coffee.
"Oh yeah."He answered."You know there's something about her thats just so mysterious."
"Yeah Tucker too, I think the whole thing circulates with that Danny.But I dont know and I guess I never will."
"What do you mean?" Geoff asked.
-------------------
"Ok Sam, while you were gone well Danny he..."Tucker looked at her she was leaning forward looking interested."He was heartbroken."
"He was?" Sam asked looking at her friend. He nodded. "I dont understand."
"He loved you more than anything in the whole world.It broke him to see you go."
"I didnt realize..."Sam said softly.
"It wasnt your fault.In fact he blamed himself said he was so stupid for letting you go but he also said he never wanted to hold you back. He waited to hear from you but you never made contact. So a couple weeks before his nineteenth he just disappeared. And we dont know wher he is to this day. And Sam we all have to consider the fact that he very well could be dead."
"But you dont know that for sure, right? I mean he could still be alive somewhere."
"It's possible, but it's not likely, if he hasnt made contact with you or anyone else then he's probably gone for good."
"So are you saying I'll never see Danny again? That he's just gone?"Sam questioned her voice carrying a great sorrow.
Tucker nodded looking at her with pity."He could've run away, he could've been snatched by a ghost. We dont know what happened."
"I'm gonna find him Tucker. Dead or alive, I will find where our friend is." Sam proclaimed determinedly.
"Sam please dont obsess over this."
"What are you saying? Do you even realize it, it's not obsessive to want to know what happened to your best friend. Look I promise I'll keep in touch, this time I wont be foolish enough to let my career get in the way of my friends."
"Ok."Tucker said.
Tucker and Sam exchanged phone numbers and emails. Promising that they wouldnt stop talking to each other. Then Sam called to Geoff.
While in the car Sam drove silently. Geoff took it upon himself to make conversation.
"Did you know they are moving to Long Beach, that's near our neck of the woods. You could see them more often."
"That's nice." Sam answered apathetically.
"Sam I thought you'd be a little more happier, what's wrong?" Geoff asked concerned.
"Everything." Sam returned.
He stayed silent for the rest of the trip to her house, There he met her parents and was shown where he would sleep in a rather large guest bedroom. Sam went to her room, kicked off her boots and plopped down on her old bed. It wasnt fair.
Thats when she noticed a framed picture of her and Danny on her night stand. She reached for it and studied it. Her finger tips traced Danny's outline and tears fell onto the glass that protected the photo.
She always liked this picture,they were leaning back to back with each other.They both had their arms crossed and they both wore a determined smile like they were under cover agents or something. She couldnt remember why they took this photo, maybe just for laughs.She sniffed as a smile crossed her face. Why is it that he could always make her smile?
Sam didnt know why she left this picture behind so she put it in her suitcase, she didnt want to leave it again. Sam suddenly realized something, she'd ben so caught up in the rush of being a singer she'd forgottenabout the conversation she'd had with Danny before she left.
Sam got up and skimmed through her old backpack. She sighed it still held her diary, the one she had forgotten to take with her.She flipped through to last page, she hoped this would help her find where Danny went.
Kinda short but hey it's still good. More reviews are always nice. Yes I realize I have a lot of unfinished stories, but I cant help it.
