Warning- So much angst happening here, but it'll turn into fluff soon enough, okay?

Danny POV

I know being hurt means that you should talk to someone about it, but that wasn't always the case for me.

Sometimes, I just wished that he would leave me alone to suffer.

I should've run away the very first time they all hurt me.

To be fair, I was naïve and didn't know what I was doing at first.

The next thing I knew was when I was in between an argument that ended up separating our trio.

I felt unhappy as we went distance from each other, but they get along so well with Phantom.

I'm actually kinda jealous of that...

Anyway, I was upset with it that I finally noticed what was Phantom doing with the other ghosts.

I know that he isn't bad, but it's kinda embarrassing if he's the one beating them up.

However, the strange was when one of the ghosts actually asked if I was alright.

Of course, I just sucked up the ghost in the Fenton Thermos, thinking that it was trying to trick me, but I guess I should've paid attention.

As my life was getting worse, I stopped helping Sam, Tucker, and Phantom with ghost hunting since both Sam and Tucker said that I was "annoying" them.

That hurt a lot, and I despised them from that day on.

I stayed distanced from everyone else, including my sister Jazz, Phantom, and Vlad; although we were never that close.

Everyone wanted Danny Phantom rather than Danny Fenton, and I decided that if no one really wanted me, then I'll disappear from their faces.

I decided to run away on the day of my birthday, June 14, and come back only if it's necessary.

Up with the following days, everyone, including the ghosts, is asking if I'm okay.

Of course, I lied saying that I was okay, faking a smile, and leaving with a "cheerful" face.

I didn't really give a damn about it since it was summer, but I don't want to let them know my true intentions.

Soon enough, on the day of my birthday, I ran away from home, never to look back.

I didn't care if they were trying to find me, but all I know is that I'm never going back unless it's required.

After that, I needed to find my own place with time.

I traveled to different places, training myself to do good things for good people, taking down criminals, and saving more lives than I can count for.

Doing this made me find my own path, despite running away from helicopters send in by my parents, seeing Phantom and forcing myself to run away from him, being hunted by other ghosts that are not from Amity Park, and forcing myself to steal/scam some cheap shots that were having lots of money.

Although to be fair, they were scamming/robbing people, so I scammed a scammer.

I don't intend to be one, so I only do it if I don't have enough money.

Anyway, flash forward, three years passed, and I was finally returning home.

Not that I wanted to, but I finally want to forgive them for all the things that they did to me.

So, once I returned, some things were different.

The city was brand new with technology, but the neighborhood was the same.

As I wandered more and more into the city, everyone was surprised to see me.

Even Sam and Tucker, even though they didn't expect to see me after all this time.

Once I arrived at my house, I knocked and waited for the door to be opened.

It took a few minutes, but I finally saw my mother's face for the first time in ages.

I expected her to yell at me, but instead, she hugged me and yelled for Dad to come.

We all ended up hugging each other, and it was peaceful.

I went inside, and we all talked to each other about what was happening between us.

Turns out, they stopped looking for me because they knew that over time, they began to realize their mistakes and wanted the best for me.

Jazz became a physicist over time and Fenton's Workplace expanded.

I told all of my adventures about meeting new people, new ghosts, new technology, and so much more.

We laughed, cried, and huddled up to each other as if we are about to never see each other again.

I said that I'll be right back, and I only wanted to talk to someone.

They nodded, and I went to see if I can find Phantom around.

I spotted him near the place I used to go to during my teenage years.

I shouted at him to get his attention, and it worked.

He looked at me and was shocked before crying.

I kinda panicked and asked if he was okay but before receiving a hug from him.

"Oof!" I said, falling with Phantom wrapped around me.

"I missed you," He stated, not letting go of me.

"I missed you too, Phantom..." I said, looking at his face.

"You barely changed," Phantom said, making me blush from embarrassment.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Just wondering if you want to chat a bit. That's just all," I said, sitting down on the ground.

We chatted about what was happening to us, how I "mysteriously" escaped Phantom, how Phantom wanted to apologize for his behavior, and so much more.

I guess my feelings returned, much to my dislike, and seeing Phantom back into my life is enough.

Then Phantom just blushed out of nowhere and didn't' look directly at me.

I asked if he was okay, but he didn't want to gaze at me.

I thought that I did something wrong, so I apologized to Phantom for being here, but then Phantom grabbed me and kissed me.

I was startled but slowly relaxed, and I found myself wrapping my arms around his neck.

We continued to do that until I was forced to separate because of lack of air, but it was still good.

We touched our foreheads together, and I'm glad to be back once and for all...
