Danny saw her fall and was soon at her side, he picked her fragile damaged body from off the pavement and delicately cradled her in his arms. His first instinct revealed to him a ghastly truth. It was his own nature, that little voice in the back of his head that spoke of truth. Something his stubborn disposition wouldn't allow to audibly make itself known.
There was no way what the voice was screaming, somewhere in the white spaces of his mind, was true. And even if it was... No he wouldn't let her go, she wasn't going. She was fine perfectly fine. He knew she was tough and she could handle this and bounce right back. She always bounced back. So why not now? He figured today was no different.
"Come on wake up!" He called shaking her by her shoulders.
Her head rolled limply to the side and stayed that way. He shook her again and once again her very limp body shifted but not by her power. Danny became enraged with his own frustration, he couldn't understand why she wouldn't open her eyes. Why wouldn't she complain and tell him he was giving her a headache?
"Come on get up!" He cried louder.
She wasn't gone, she couldn't be. She wouldn't be, there wasn't too much blood. It wasn't that bad of an attack. All the lies he told himself clouded his judgment. And he sat her upright and shook her once more. And still she stayed silent and unmoving. But she had to be only unconscious. He was trembling so much that he couldn't even tell if she was breathing.
But she had to be. Maybe it was he who wasn't breathing.
"Come on get up! Get up! Get up!" He screamed bitterness tore through his throat and tears streaked his face. But he still didn't believe it.
"Danny stop!" Cried a female coming up behind him. She put her thin hand on his shoulder to calm him. "Danny let her go."
"No!" he growled defensively immediately turning his fiery eyes upon her. Sam pulled back in horror for a moment before his eyes softened and tears returned and fell. Danny turned away and Sam allowed herself to but her hand back on his shoulder.
"No..." He whispered and stared down at the girl in his arms. He wouldn't believe it especially after all those awful things he said to her, she wouldn't leave without him saying sorry. She never had before, they couldn't end on a sour note.
Besides it was his job to protect her. And he had never failed before on something that important. He couldn't, being the hero was his main priority, before all else. If he couldn't hold himself to that than how could he ever succeed in anything else?
No, she was fine. He wouldn't let her get away that easily.
"Jazz is gone Danny..." Sam said quietly and kneeled beside him as he hugged the body of his sister tighter to him. She didn't want it to be anymore true than he did.
"She can't be..." He sobbed and rocked back and forth. He didn't comprehend the fact that she was there one second and gone the next. If it made no sense it couldn't have been real.
Sam shook her head and still held the shoulder of her hero. Her heart broke as she watched the powerful Danny Phantom sob with a girl who was gone before her time.
"It's the way things go." Sam whispered gently trying to be strong for him.
He shut his eyes and wished he would wake up soon.
Music seriously makes me write the most random things. Nothing from nowhere I suppose.
