Chapter 4

Living without each other

Sam got up early in the morning, she went downstairs and she suffered through her mom trying to match her up with every boy she knew, but every guy that came near Sam got knocked out or was shoved into some sort of water source, be it a birdbath, a puddle, a pond, or a lake.

" Sam you have to choose someone, I want you to be happy." her mom said

" If you want me to be happy, than leave me alone." Sam replied

Sam walked off and went back up to her room she sat on her bed and pulled out her photo album, she smile to herself as she looked over favorite pictures. Most of them were of her, Tucker, and Danny there were some that were of her and Danny. There was one picture that Tucker took a year and five months ago and she loved it most, the one of her and Danny wrestling in freshly fallen autumn leaves in the park. Sam remembered that day like it was yesterday...

Flashback...

Danny, Sam, and Tucker walked through the park looking at the beautiful landscape, autumn was the best season of all in Amity Park. Sam inhaled the scents of autumn, fresh fallen leaves, clothes drying outside, and pumpkin pies. They sat on a nearby bench to look at the beautiful scenery, Danny saw a pile of leaves beneath a large maple tree he then saw Tucker jump into the pile sending leaves into the air and landed laughing as the leaves fell back down to the ground.

" You are something else Tuck." Danny said

" I know, but it's fun." Tucker replied

" He's right autumn isn't autumn if you don't jump into a pile of leaves." Sam agreed

" I guess you're right." Danny said

Suddenly Sam pounced on Danny and sent them falling into the pile of leaves, Sam laughed as Danny sat up leave all over him.

" You're so going to get it." Danny said

Danny pinned Sam down and the two started to wrestle in the laves, Tucker got out of the way an pulled out his camera and took a picture of the wrestling match.

End Flashback...

Sam loved that day, it seemed to be so far away now, she missed all of the times that they spent together, sure he fought ghosts most of the time but she didn't care. Sam looked out her window and toward the sky, it was a beautiful shade of blue and clouds rolled by slowly. She went downstairs and she saw the newspaper on the footstool she picked it up and read through it to see if anything was going on.

Sam's been doing this ever since Danny left one year and seven months ago, she had nothing better to do during the day other than putting up with her parents. Her eyes widened as she read a part of the first section of the paper, she shook her head this couldn't be happening it read: HURRICANE ZACK HEADS TOWARDS FLORIDA

" This can't be happening." Sam said to herself

She put down the paper and she went back up to her room and she got on her computer, her heart pounded in her chest she hoped that she had an e-mail from Danny. And to her relief she did.

Sam,

Hope things are going well back in Amity Park, I truly miss it, Florida isn't a place for me. I don't like it down here at all, there aren't to many nice people around here. I had to type this quickly so forgive me if there are some misspelled words... We're preparing for Hurricane Zack so we're very busy. Don't worry about me I'll be fine, I've been through worse than this and you know that for a fact. I have to go, I'm helping dad put boards over the windows.

Take care,

Danny

Sam sighed in relief, but she knew while the hurricane was blowing over the state that Danny wouldn't be able to e-mail her until it blew over. She started to type an e-mail back to him, she stopped for a minute and she wondered if he found a different girl down there.

Danny,

I'm doing fine over here, just putting up with my parents as always. How are you doing? I hope you at least made one friend down there, I don't want you to be lonely. I just hope that the hurricane isn't too bad, I know you've been through worse than a hurricane. I will be quite worried when it does hit the state though since you'll be able to keep in touch as often, you take care down there Danny.

Be careful,

Sam

" I just hope that he is very careful down there." Sam said

In Florida...

Danny held a board tightly to the window as his dad nailed it tightly across the window. Danny looked up to the sky, gray and it was lightly raining, but there was more coming their way much more. Danny and his dad was finally done, his dad went inside and Danny stood looking at the sky, he wanted to be back in the bright blue skies of Amity Park.

" I will go back, this is not the place for me." Danny said to himself

" Danny get inside." Maddie called

Danny took one last look at the sky and he went inside the medium sized house.

" I will go back and no one will stop me." Danny thought
