A/N: I'm really updating! This is the third chapter I've been working on today.
I stared at the postcard. Danny and Valerie...divorced? Tucker was right, I didnt' care where she lived. I wanted to see Danny, to see if he was okay. He just recently got the divorce. So as soon as I got "settled in" I headed for the apartment where Tucker said he lived. I knocked on the door. The door opened and...
"Sam!" Kaitlyn jumped and me and squeezed me tightly. "I missed you!"
"I did too." a soft voice said sadly. Danny was in the doorway and gave me a depressed smile. Kaitlyn pulled me into the apartment. She then frowned and said, "You didn't visit. Shame, Sam." Three year olds were so cute.
"Yes, shame on me." I laughed. Danny looked at Kaitlyn and suggested that she went downstairs to visit a friend. She eagerly agree and skipped out the door.
"She's so cute." I said looking at Danny, "I'm really sorry about Valerie." He shook his head and said, "I was the one who wanted the divorce. She wasn't the same and we were fooling ourselves thinking the marriage was actually something." He laughed bitterly. "I'm glad it's over." He ran his hand through his still-messy hair. I smiled sympathetically. Once more, my thoughts went more slowly than my heart because my lips met his before the thought even meet my brain. But this time he kissed me back. It seemed like a lifetime that are lips touched. It reminded me of our first fake-out makeout, but was this one of them?
We pulled apart, our faces both red. "Oh my god, I'm---" Danny kissed me again.
"Wow," he said when we pulled apart for the second time. "You didn't run away this time." He held my hand strongly making me feel safe, almost like when we were teenagers.
"Well, you're ignoring the fact that I kissed you infront of your daughter while you were still married." I pointed out. "Danny, I'm sorry we had that fight. I should've told you..." I looked away, I had wanted to tell him that I loved him since we were fourteen. But I couldn't.
"What?" Danny looked at me with his big blue eyes. "Sam, you should have told me what?"
"I loved you." I said, he looked shock. I decided to tell him here and now. "I loved you so much before you even liked Valerie. But I couldn't tell you. I thought I didn't love you anymore, heck I even hated you for so long, but I ws wrong. I still love you."
"I...I..." Danny stuttered. He was not expecting this. I got up and left. "Goodbye, Danny." I said walking out the door. Heartbroken.

Although we had to record some songs for our new CD the next day, I didn't get out of bed. I opened up to Danny only to be betrayed. I felt more ashamed than anything. But mostly I felt stupid that he wanted a stupid Goth like me.
But the band got mad at my mopeyness sooner that I thought. They threatened to kick me out of the band, and use a recording of my voice. It was apperant that I needed my friends back, my real friends. Not my flaky band friends that cared more about money, when offered, than me. I decided to go to Danny's again. It was the middle of the mid-morning so Kaitlyn was probably at preschool or something like that. I knocked on the door, and felt like an idiot. The door opened and Danny was behind it.
"Sam?" He looked very happy to see me.
"Sorry about..." I started.
"It's alright, I understand." He said. I really love you, Danny, I thought
"Sam, looked when you said that..." He realized that we were still standing in the hallway. He pulled me into the apartment and we sat down on the couch.
"Sam, I love you." He said terrified. I smiled, feeling much better now that I knew he did love me and I kissed him.
"I love you, Danny." I said when we broke apart.
"I love you too, Sam." He said. This was the best I felt in ten years.
A/N: This is not a cliffhanger. I hope. Sucky chapter, but I'm starting to get writer's block.
