My dad dose lots of stuff to embarrass me… but it's all in good humor… like for my birthday he got me a huge Harry Potter cake. Everybody at my party laughed… c'mon dad! I'm 15!
Yeah and other times he will say stuff like, "Humm… Jamie… is that the friend that looks like she never brushes her hair?" and standing there will be Jamie's best friend.
I always say, "Dad! That's not funny… he's such a kidder…" But really I would be thinking 'well, he has a point…'
Chapter 13
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Sam looked at the clock again. It had only been thirty seconds from when she last looked at it. She put her head back in her hands. It was Friday and after school Jazz was going to bring Sam and Tucker to the hospital to visit Danny. She just needed to see him, to hold his hand and tell him everything was going to be all right.
Why was it that if you wanted time to go faster, it seemed to slow down? The entire day seemed to go in slow motion for her, but at last- it was in the last minutes of the last hour, but the minutes seemed to last for an eternity. Sam groaned and laid her head on her desk.
At last- the bell rang. Sam and Tucker were the first ones out of their room. They quickly ran to their lockers to grab their homework and ran out to the parking lot- just to wait for Jazz to get to her car. Soon Jazz came out and they were on their way, towards the hospital.
The trip was about ten minutes and Jazz, followed by Sam and Tucker, made their way towards Danny's room. She stopped and checked in at the check in counter and a nurse escorted them down the hallway, towards her brother's room.
Like how Jazz had been at first, Sam and Tucker seemed nervous. Sam was idly fiddling with one of her bracelets and Tucker has been cleaning his glasses for a while now. When they stopped at a door Sam seemed to get even paler. Jazz smiled at her sympathetically, opened the door, and went in.
Sam and Tucker didn't hesitate to go inside. They went straight to his side. What they saw was just as Jazz explained to them. He looked peaceful, like how he looked when he was sleeping. Sam pulled up a chair next to his bed Tucker did the same, but Jazz stayed in the doorframe, looking at the bed next to Danny's.
She looked down sadly, and said a silent prayer. The bed where George Claudfeild used to lay was now empty.
"Can he even hear us?" Sam asked Jazz quietly. Jazz solemnly walked back over to her brother's side. She didn't even know the man but she was sorry he had passed away. She felt even more sorry for the now broken family.
"I'm not sure… the doctor said that he can't make out the words but the sound of familiar voices is supposed to comfort him." She answered not really thinking.
Sam nodded, but then asked, "Are you okay?"
Jazz just nodded and said, "Yeah- its nothing." She was just scared that if they didn't find the antidote for her brother fast, that she could be a part of the broken family, and others could only look at them, feeling sorry for them.
There was a moment of silence.
Then Tucker sighed. "For some reason I feel like this is my fault. We were supposed to be there to help him!" He exclaimed.
Sam sighed as well. "Tucker you know it's not your fault. He was at Starbucks of all places, and we didn't know until—"
"I know, I know." He said, cutting her off. Then he looked up at Danny. "Sorry buddy. I know you wouldn't want me to be blaming myself… right?" He asked, slightly hoping to get an answer. None came. Jazz looked at the two sympathetically.
Suddenly Tucker stood up and grabbed the clip board hanging from the end of his bed, and read, "Danny Fenton. Condition: stable. In for a flesh wound to abdomen, a fractured rib, and he's in a coma like state for an… unknown reason? Comments from Doctor: Possible there was something on the weapon the caused the cut… what do they mean by that?" Tucker asked.
"That there was something on the dagger and it poisoned him." Jazz said remembering what the doctor had said since the beginning. She sighed sadly, remembering what the doctors had said on Wednesday. "He said that they were trying to find a antidote but it seems to be a rare kind of poison because they had never heard of it."
There was a silence as they group thought. "Well-- Danny is a half ghost… so what if it is some sort special poison just to affect his ghost half?" Sam offered.
Jazz hadn't really thought about it before. She just accepted the fact that the doctors were looking in to it and that was that. She just looked at the younger girl wearily for a second, but then a look of dawning crossed over her face. "Sam you're a genius!" She exclaimed. She thought it over in her head. "That would make perfect sense- why the doctors don't know of it, why he is in a coma… well it's really not a coma…" she paused deep in thought. Why didn't she think of it before? "The ghost could have an antidote with him… we can get if from him!" She explained standing up.
"Wait- wait, back up. What was that?" Tucker asked.
"That would make perfect sense?" Jazz asked.
"No,"
"The ghost chould have and antidote with him?" Jazz asked again.
"No! In. The. Middle!" Tucker exclaimed becoming frustrated.
"Something about him not really being in a coma?" Sam asked.
"Oh…" Jazz said realizing her slip up. She tried to cover it up hastily. "Did I say that? I didn't mean that, I just said that he was in a coma… there is nothing I'm keeping from you guys, nothing you would really want to know that is… Why am I still talking? I am such a spazz." She said, very, very fast.
Tucker and Sam just looked at her steadily.
Jazz winced. They weren't buying it. She closed her eyes and sighed. There was no use hiding it now. "Well, on Wednesday the doctor explained to us that- that he isn't really in a coma." Jazz stated. Sam and Tucker said nothing waiting for to go on. She looked down at her feet uncomfortably, "A coma is when you are stable and you can stay like that for a long time. Danny- Danny's dieing."
Sam and Tucker gasped, horrified. Jazz closed her eyes and continued. "They said that if- if they don't find an antidote that he only… he only has a few weeks to live." She said choking up.
"Oh my gosh…" Sam said putting her head back in her hands. Tucker just stood there swaying on his feet, looking at Jazz disbelievingly. Then he looked back over at Danny. There was a moment of silence as the news sank in.
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you guys before… At first I was in denial. I still sort of am. But I just — I just couldn't." She said looking up. She was crying.
There was another moment of silence. They all stood there just looking at Danny for what seemed an eternity.
Suddenly Tucker broke the silence. "Well what are we waiting for?" Tucker asked. "We have to go get that antidote." He said picking up his coat. "The ghost is still in that thermos right?" He asked Jazz. She nodded. She took one last look at Danny and wiped her eyes. Then she picked up her coat too. On their way out of the door Jazz noticed Sam was still sitting in her seat.
"Coming?" She asked quietly.
Never taking her eyes off of Danny she said, "I'll be there in a minute." Jazz nodded and left, shutting the door behind her.
There was a moment of silence as Sam just sat there staring at her best friend. He had breathing tubes in his nostrils to help him breath and the heart monitor quietly beeped away in the corner.
All she could think is that he was dying. Her best friend- her secret crush… dying. It was such a harsh word. Sam didn't think she could stand the eerie quietness in the room much longer.
"Danny…" She whispered quietly. The name sounded so perfect to her when she said it, it was almost comforting… so she said it again. "Danny..." She said a bit louder. She tried to swallow the lump in her throat. After a pause she continued speaking.
"I- I feel like this is my fault… even after what I said to Tucker." She said looking down. She reached out and held his hand. Another silence, as she wiped away the moisture from her eyes with her free hand.
She took in a shaky breath. "I don't know very much about what happened in Starbucks… but from what Lancer said it sounds like you saved quite a few lives in there." She paused.
"It's sort of fun to think about how much you've developed since the accident… both mentally and physically." She said a shadow of a smile playing at her lips as she looked at his slightly toned figure.
"You've were forced to grow up faster than the you would have normally… at this stage you are supposed to be an immature boy, but here you are… a hero." She said now fully smiling. "A strong, kind, gentle, handsome, charming hero that I'm falling head over heals for." She said turning serious again.
"Danny..." She started nervously. She had to tell him! She knew he wouldn't hear her but she was afraid that if she said it out loud, it would be true. She wasn't sure if she wanted that now, when she wasn't even sure he would make it. Soon as she thought that she scolded herself. She couldn't think like that, of course he would make it! She rubbed the backside of the hand she was holding with her thumb, thinking.
"Danny…" She started again, "I- I really like you... like more than a friend…" She paused and took a deep breath, "I- I think I'm in love with you…" She finished. As soon as she said it Sam knew that it was right. She loved the boy lying in front of her. She looked at his still body, wishing that he could some how say that he heard her. "I love you." She said again, quieter. Still nothing.
She sighed and squeezed his hand gently. "Please, please, please wake up soon so I can tell you that. Please…" She begged. Nothing happened. She wiped away the tears from her face. She didn't even realize that she had started to cry.
She sighed and stood up. "Danny- I have to go… Jazz and Tucker probably left with out me by now. We think that we might be able to wake you up- so hold on. K?" She said grabbing her coat. She looked at him one last time before leaving the room.
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
TBC…
Short chapter. Sorry. At least you'll hear from Danny in the next chapter. REVIEWERS!
Distant6- ouch… I would have said, "No! Uhh… of course not! But I think I heard the person behind us call her friend Emily. Go check them out!" lol
Brittney- "Aw, you only made one more chapter?"… Only one more chapter! HOW FAST DO YOU EXPECT ME TO TYPE? lol, and trust me, I've got inspiration… like to get it done and over with before Aug. 29… it's hard, I know, but I think I can do it
Sasia- lol! I had to wear some bad costumes in my Drama class too, but I don't think that I had it as bad as you… also my dad did the same thing, except I liked the stuff he brought in.
Emotigone crazy- LOL! I would have died. That's funny… sorry, I probably should be feeling sorry for you or something, but I'm still not over giggle fit. Lol
SquirrelGirl13- yes… that is a practice I have recently started… "Hey, lets go to your house! Oh wait, my parents aren't home, never mind! We can hang here if you want."
DP fan- Hah! Is your mom scared of storms, or was it really, really bad? My mom is a fan of those bone-crushing hugs too…
Lilios- but at least it's a pleasant surprise! To click on it to read one more chapter, but really there are 4. Lol
Kassi- Wow… you can't think of anything right away when you see the two words "parents" and "embarrass" in one sentence? Wow… lucky…
Bunny Bubble- -Choco bar pops up on screen- YAY! –Grabs for it but computer screen is in the way- NO! –Cries-
Pieling- Clockwork is one of my favorite characters as well… and it's fun to write his personality too!
Sirithiliel- that's good that they refunded it. And I always feel outdated when another one comes out too, and mine is less than a year old… so it's still new, but it doesn't feel like it… -sighs- Oh well!
Katiesparks- I'm interested! But it's probably a good idea not to post it up publicly, I'm keeping the more embarrassing one's to myself, so I don't blame you. Lol,
Kennyk12- lol, nice simile… "Walking in to wind forever is like rolling down the stairs" LOL, but in a way I know what you mean, I can't say I've rolled down the stairs recently, but when I was younger, it was like a game… a very painful game.
PotterPhan21- "Well, isn't Danny in a fine pickle" LOL! Sorry, that made me laugh when I read it… it just sounds so… idk. A fine pickle… I will use that someday! Lol
Fan-girls2.0- it's awesome that you got a pen name! My parents often get annoyed with me always typing on the computer, but my argument is, "HEY! At least I am typing a story, instead of chatting, or games on the Internet! IT'S EDUCATIONAL!"
RealityBreakGirl- my dad tells all of these stories too, but my closer friends are used to them. He doesn't embarrass me often, but it still happens…
Sparky the Wonder Weasel- lucky you… in order to hang out with a friend, my parents have to meet him or her first. They are a bit over protective.
Ghostboy814- you're right; it's their job. Some parents are better at it then others; I would probably give my parents a 7 out of 10 on the embarrassment factor.
Centaurgurl08- Aw crud… the reason you are confused is because of a authors mistake… I forgot that Clockwork doesn't have feet… well how about we say it's symbolic… and plus Danny needs to know which direction he left in the next chapter. And yes, I can say EW! Lol…
Catgirlversion3.0otakufan- WOW! That's amazing! You're parents must win the parents of the year award every other year or something. Wow…
Purrbaby101- Vacation's are fun… where did you go? And a professional clown... that's awesome! Lol
MidnightBoatman- if my mom did that to me I would have yelled, "AVERT YOUR EYES!" and then tackled my mom to the ground and grabbed them and run away to England because I've always wanted to go there. THE END!
Obsessedwithstabler- lol, I've been embarrassed by my bf too, but not as much as my parents, so I did them instead. BUT ANOTHER PERSON WHO HAS NOT BEEN EMBARRASSED BY THEIR PARENTS! Eek! Maybe it's only some of us…
I GOT MY DRIVERS PERMIT! YES! WOO HOO! LKAD'SOPFJAEWFFA'S;L
So this updates question is (if you can drive) what is the scariest thing that happened to you while you were driving? If you don't have a permit/ license yet, what's the scariest thing that happened while you were a passenger? Or you could just REVIEW!
