My alarm startled me awake, I was so on edge about being captured any moment I hardly got any sleep. I got up and looked in the mirror, my eyes were all puffy and my hair was a mess but I didn't care. I almost decided to not go to school, I was surprised I hadn't been taken away yet but I guess he would wait to turn me in.

I knew my mother wouldn't be worried about me from yesterday or today because she went to a 3-day spa to get relaxed and ready for the party Saturday.

The party. What if he does it there? and in front of all of the ghost hunters?

I tried to keep my breathing natural, I didn't have any tears or energy left in me.

I just put on a pair of black leggings and kept on my black tank top and just put on a purple zip-up on over it.

I fixed my hair and make-up to at least make it seem like everything was normal.

I put my hood up and drove to school still focused on my breathing. I was so scared. I was scared of what might happen to me. I was so scared of seeing him and Tucker and Valerie, Danny hating me was enough but the two of them as well would kill me.

I put my headphones in and made sure my hood was covering enough of my face so I could walk to class without seeing or hearing anyone or anything.

I sat down and took out the headphones.

"Hey gurl." Valerie said from behind me which startled me.

She didn't know. If she did she wouldn't have even greeted me, she probably would have stayed as far away as she could.

I turned to look at her and the smile on her face vanished.

"Sam what happened?" She said her eyes at gotten wide.

"You look like you saw a ghost" I felt almost twitchy at the mention of ghosts.

"I-" I stopped I didn't even know what to say. Danny would tell her sooner or later.

"Ms. Grey please go to your seat and Ms. Manson please take off your hood it is disrespectful."

I took it off and distracted myself by looking into my bag for my books.

After class Valerie tried again to ask what was wrong but I just said,

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it."

Lunch was easy to evade them I just went intangible and hid in the janitor's closet waiting for the lunch period to be over. I realized I hadn't really eaten since the day before last, since yesterday I didn't have time for breakfast and forgot to bring lunch and was to upset for dinner. At this point the thought of food was nauseating.

The whole day was a blur almost. I didn't even really talk to anyone. Val occasionally tried but I just told her not to worry. I didn't dare look at Danny or Tucker or anyone else. I went through the day invisible, yet I didn't even have to use my ghost powers to do it.

I was so focused on being invisible to the world I didn't even realize Val following me home.

I stood in my house, empty and unsure what to do with myself.

After a few seconds the door burst open and I heard,

"Okay Sam-" Valerie started loudly and irritated, probably unaware I hadn't moved to another location of the house so yelling so I would hear.

I was so on edge I actually shrieked and tripped on my feet turning around and fell.

"Jeez! Sam!" Valerie said just as startled closing the door. From Vals point of view I was a mess my eyes were wide and showed how terrified I was and I was still trying to catch my breath from being so surprised. My heart was nearly beating out of my chest I thought they were finally breaking in to get me.

She knelt down next to me cautiously.

"Sam, you are really scaring me right now. Come on let's get you up." She said gently grabbing my arm to help me up, I was still shaking.

"Let's go upstairs we can talk in your room, okay?" Valerie instructed. I nodded and we went upstairs and sat on my bed.

"Sam, you have got to tell me what happened to you, you are scaring me."

"Danny..." I started.

"Wait, you are not telling me that you are this upset about what happened between you and Danny right?" She questioned.

My eyes widened.

"Oh god, you know too!" I couldn't breath.

"Cut the bull shit Sam, you are stronger than to let a guy mess you up like this! Anyways I was talking with Tucker about it and we both think it was just Paulina trying to fuck with you." Tucker knew of course he did but Paulina? How would she know? Did she see me change too?

"Wait Paulina?" My eyes were wide with fear but Valerie wasn't looking she was too much in her thoughts.

"It just doesn't add up, I know you don't actually hate Danny, there is just no way that you would say that stuff about him, I will always believe you and be on your side."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What. The. Absolute. Fuck. Are you talking about?" I was so confused and now so was Valerie.

"What are you talking about?" She asked confused.

"Val, please, I need to know what you are talking about right now." I pleaded.

"Fine but you gotta tell me what you're talking about after. Danny told Tucker who told me, well I actually forced it out of him. Remember yesterday at lunch, you know when Danny left? Paulina took him aside and played this recording of you saying how much you really hated him and how you were just using him for fun and how he didn't matter. But don't worry Tucker is analyzing the recording to prove it's fake and is talking to Danny right now trying to help him understand. That boy can be a bit clueless sometimes and gullible."

Voice recording. Hate him. Fake.

Danny didn't know I was a ghost.

He doesn't... It was all just... A misunderstanding.

"That's it?" I asked tears falling from my eyes. I almost felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders from relief that I was safe, no one was coming after me. Valerie didn't hate me. Danny did but for a false reason.

"Yes, that's it. I don't get why you are reacting like this Sam, I know you like him but you're so on edge and you look so scared, what the hell did you think happened?" She asked concerned.

I wish I could tell her. I wish I could tell her everything and not be scared.

I have been so alone, I have never told anyone my secret and if I could tell anyone it would be her but still.

I sat there in shock. My eyes were wide and I felt like a shell.

She moved towards me and put her arms around me.

"Oh Sam, what happened to you? What can I do to help you?" She said quietly.

I kept opening and closing my mouth trying to find the words. I have wanted to tell someone for so long. I have been so alone and I can't take it anymore. I can't be like this. Not any more. I have never had a more true friend in my whole life.

"You hate ghosts right" I stated weakly, unwrapping myself from her embrace. She looked confused as to where the topic had gone.

"I mean I guess the bad ones, yes, but not all of them are bad right? Anyways can you please get to the point here? I love you girl, you are my first real best friend and I will never judge you and I will always be there for you like I know you will be there for me"

I took a deep breath and got up from sitting on the bed my stiff legs shaking.

"What are you-" Val started confused.

"Promise me you wont hate me" I whispered as I closed my eyes.

Two rings formed at my midsection, one went up and one went down. My hair turned white and I opened my scarlet eyes to a very stunned Valerie.

Her eyes were as wide as Tucker's whenever he saw a big butt.

"You're-a" She whispered.

"I-I was in a lab accident a few years ago and was turned into a ghost, well half ghost.

"I've never told anyone before. I have lived with this secret for so long, and Danny said he 'knew' so I thought he meant he knew this and I knew he told Tucker what had happened and so I thought you all would know and tell authorities that I was a ghost, I-" I started to cry again, I was so sick of crying.

"I was so s-s-scared, Val." I cried and sniffled, wrapping my arms around my waist in a feeble attempt to hold myself together.

"Oh god, I was so scared that you all were going to h-hate me and that I would have to run away because they- they would experiment on me." I sat on the floor unable to control my sobs or the words that spilled out of me from the years of silence.

She sat there stunned.

"You were the first person who I have been able to really call my friend. I-I have never had anyone like you or Danny who didn't make me I feel like I wasn't a freak of nature. I wanted to tell you so badly but I know that it was a ghost that ruined your life and his family is known for ghost hunting" I wiped my hands and palms on my face trying to wipe away and stop the flow of tears as if I were a child.

"Sam..." Valerie said in a sad voice.

I changed back into my human form getting the last of the sobs out.

"Holy shit, you're part ghost..." She said somewhat calm but was still in shock.

"I bet that was more than you expected" I gave an empty laugh, I sounded congested at this point from all the sniffling. I still couldn't tell what she was going to do or say.

"Do you hate me?" I asked timidly.

"If you do I understand just please don't tell anyone I beg you"

She wore such a sad smile.

"Okay, I'm gonna be honest because I love you, I am a bit freaked out, but you're still Sam right? And you're like a good ghost?"

I smiled nervously. It felt like years since I had last smiled.

"Yeah."

I could tell she still was in disbelief.

"I still can't believe it...Wait! you were the ghost girl I saw flying around the other day?" She accused with a smile

I shrugged.

"Yeah, that's why I started choking on my water when you brought it up." I laughed with a sniffle.

"You can fly?" She asked wide eyed with a huge smile.

"Yeah." I smiled a bit more. She shook her head in bewilderment.

"I knew you were tough but seriously, you have had this all on your shoulders and never had anyone to talk about it with?" She looked at me with awe and disbelief.

"Today must have been awful thinking that we would turn on you like that- Also, fuck you Sam, we are better than that don't you have any faith in us? In me" Val said jokingly while picking up a pillow and throwing it at me.

"I do, but I was panicking but that's why I decided to tell you now." I admitted sheepishly.

Then we both got distracted by a very loud grumbling noise.

We looked at each other and Val broke the silence with a whisper.

"Good lord... Was that your stomach?"

I nodded sheepishly.

"When was the last time you had anything to eat?

"Ummm I think it was two nights ago... I didn't have time for breakfast yesterday then forgot my lunch and was to scared to eat at all..."

Val hit me with the pillow again.

"Okay we're getting food in you right now." She said getting off the bed then helping me up from where I had been on the ground.

This was real.

I told someone.

I was no longer alone.
