Standing Up
Chapter 8: Don't lie
Authors note: do you really need to hear that I don't own anything... that's what I thought
Sam's POV
It's been a week since they let me out of the hospital. Danny has fully recovered, but as for me, I wasn't so lucky. We decided to not tell anyone of the accident, we just made up a story about how Danny, his family, Tucker, and I were in a vacation for the week. Every now and then I would get these shocks of pain, no one would notice except Danny. He was the only one that saw right through my act, not even Tucker saw the pain.
We were walking into school when I felt pain in my stomach, I winced and apparently Danny noticed because he wrapped his arm around me and smiled. We both blushed and saw a flash
"Blushy moment #81!" Tucker said holding a camera with a smile.
Danny let go of me and we walked to our lockers. I grabbed my books and took a step back and let them fall when my stomach hurt again. Danny looked at me and grabbed the fallen books and started to walk towards our first class, English with Mr. Lancer. When we got to class he set the books on my desk, which was next to his and while he looked up, I met his blue eyes and he met mine then we both smiled and blushed.
"Class please take your seat" I heard Mr. Lancer said

Danny's POV
The rest of the classes went pretty smoothly, although we did have to explain to one teacher why we weren't here for the past week. We decided to tell them that we were on a trip with our Parents, also the fact that Jazz picked up the phone when the teacher called home really helped. Now it was time for lunch!
We sat down in our normal table, me next to Sam and Tucker in front of us. Tucker had his typical carnivore lunch, his TWO meatball sandwich foot-longs that had bacon sprinkled on top! While I had a cheese burger and Sam had her veggie burger. We talked about non sense for a while then tucker announced that he had to go to the bathroom; after he left I faced Sam and smiled.
"Are you feeling better?" I asked, but quickly added "don't lie to me I know your still in pain" before she could say anything.
She sighted, "Yeah I'm feeling a little better, it's when I put pressure on my stomach that it hurts really bad"
"I'm sorry" was all I could say. I hated seeing her get hurt, especially when I was right next to her and I cou-
"Don't be it wasn't your fault" she said interrupting my thoughts. Before I could protest she continued, "it wasn't you that shocked me, even your parents didn't know what they were doing, it's just another mess up" she paused and took a deep breath "kind of the way that you half died because of me" she put her hear down in the memory of the accident.
I can't believe she still blames herself for that "I can't believe you still blame yourself for that, it's not your fault! I decided to go in the stupid portal" I took a deep breath "And that was in freshmen year! Its history now!" I looked at her and saw a tear coming out of her eye. I was a bit shocked at first because Sam never cries about things like this. I took my thumb and wiped her tear away then gave her a smile.
"So what did I miss" Tucker said snickering. I gave him a cold stare and to my surprise I heard Sam laugh at the comment.
"Nothing" she said
After lunch we went to class. Everything went as normal as a day in high school could be, except a visit from the Box ghost, which only took me five minutes so I didn't have to make up an excuse as to why I spent so much time in the bathroom.
…
The bell rung and we went to our lockers. I asked Sam and Tucker to stay back with me so that I didn't have to go home and face my parents; I have been avoiding them since I got out of the hospital, but this morning my mom told me that we needed to talk.
We were talking at our lockers when we noticed that the only people left were us and the two school bullies, Dash and Kwan. They started to walk towards us. When they reached Sam who was the closest to them, they stopped because she stood in their way. I watched in horror as in one quick motion Dash smacked her in her stomach and send her to the lockers.
"Ah!" she cried, but bit her lip to stop herself from screaming. He did not just do that! I thought as I ran over to her and saw that she had tears running down her cheek. Dash was standing there looking like a smart ass. I got up and looked at him while anger filled my entire body, and I could feel my eyes turn the neon green you did not want to see on a human.
Now he wished he was never born…
R&R please. Yay the promise was kept!
Me: I enjoyed writing the last paragraph of this!
Dash: I'm screwed!
Me: yup! Ahahah!
Danny: you are dead!
Dash: I know…
Danny: you better hope Sam is okay
Tucker: why is that Danny?... *laughs*
Danny: Really not in the mood, so watch it foley!
Me: yeah watch it!
Danny: *glares at me*
Me: uhmm… im gonna go now… study for … a quiz? Yeah I have to go study! *runs*
Tucker: Me too *runs too*
Dash… oh crud…
Review please! I promised I would update today and I did! Yay no bacon grease for me! Will Dash die? Will Danny kill him? Will Sam stop crying in this chapter (probably since it's done)? What is tucker doing? Find out in the next chapter of…. STANDING UP!
