Danny's POV
"Sam… I am so sorry that you got hurt" bowing my head down "this jus-"
"Danny for the last time it wasn't your fault!" she said putting my hand in between hers.
"That's not what I meant, let me finish" I said and she looked at me confused.
"Sam, when you got hurt and I had to watch you, it took the life out me" I confessed and saw her eyes widen "I know I have liked you for a while now, but watching you get hurt made me realize that I can't live without you"
"Danny, I-"
"Sam, ever since we were in 9th grade I have known you're the one for me, now I know that I… I-I love you" I said, she smiled and opened her mind but I quickly interrupted "but don't worry I saw the way you worried about someone else when you were having that nightmare in the hospital, and I get it… why would you ever like someone like me, I am a freak! I'm sorry I talked to you about this"
Again she tried interrupting me, but I cut in.
"I know you love this guy that you were dreaming about, but I have to tell you it's gonna kill me to see you with him" I said as I stood up. I took one last look at her and I saw that she was shocked "I hope we can be friends" I gave her a sad smile and leaped out the window then I headed to the only place I could think…
Sam's POV
"Danny wait" I yelled after he leaped out the window.
He likes me! Wait, he thinks that I love SOMEONE ELSE! He should have known that the nightmare I was having was of him getting hurt… I have to talk to him.
My mind was racing a million thoughts a second as I went out the door to find my best friend.
I walked out of my door and headed to the only place that I would think that he could go…
…
I got to the park and I raced up the tall familiar hill that had the most beautiful view. The place that me and Danny met,
Flashback:
Up the tall hill there was a little girl, with a black sundress and her piercing purple eyes. She was holding her chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles and bat shaped gummy bears when she heard a loud scream coming from the tree. She ran up as fast as she could to the tall apple tree that she heard the scream from.
Up the tree there was a 5 year old boy with raven hair and blue eyes, who was hanging upside down. His foot seemed to be stuck in-between two branches.
"Help" he screamed "Mommy"
The little girl found the boy who was hanging there she looked at him weird,
"Why are you up there?" she said
"I was climbing and I got stuck, can you help me?" he asked putting the best puppy face he could, which was especially hard because of how scared he was.
"Well it was VERY smart of you to get up there wasn't it?" she asked him in a sarcastic tone.
Then a crack was heard and the branch holding the boy broke.
"AAHHH!" he cried as he fell. The little girl acted quickly, almost as if it were a reflex. She dropped her ice cream and reached out the falling boy. But the fact that they were five year olds didn't help the situation. The little girl landed on the ground with the boy on top of her, who quickly got off of her. In the end the girl had a few scratches, but nothing she would cry over. The little boy on the other hand had a cut on his foot and it was bleeding. The little girl got him to stop crying and she wiped the blood away with the edge of her dress, and lucky it wasn't that much so it wasn't noticeable.
"Thanks" said the boy
"No problem" she said with a smile "My name is Sam, what's yours?"
"Danny"
"You wanna go play in the park?" she asked
"Yeah sure"
Then a young woman came out of nowhere and took the girl's hand.
"Samantha it's time to go"
"But mom I wanna play with Danny" Sam complained.
"No buts, let's go" She said tugging on the girls arm.
…Three years later…
"Dude this is gonna be cool!" said an African American boy to his best friend as they walked in to their classroom.
"I don't know Tuck, is it that different from first grade?" he asked
"I'm not talking about that; I'm talking about the new game" he paused and did a little drum roll with his fingers "DOOM!"
"Yeah its gonna be awes-"He was bumped by a girl, he fell to the ground and looked up to see a girl his age wearing a dark purple t-shirt that matched her eyes.
"Sam?" he asked
She laughed "Every time we meet you keep falling down, Danny right?"
"Yeah"…
REAL TIME:
Nobody's POV
As Sam raced up the tall hill she saw a familiar raven haired boy sitting up in the same branch that failed to hold him up a long time ago. She started to climb the tree; he didn't hear her because he kept mumbling something. When she reached the branch next to him she touched his shoulder and he panicked. He turned around quickly and in doing so he fell, not thinking clearly he didn't stop himself from falling.
"Ugh" he said picking himself up from the ground
She jumped down from the tree and faced the back of him as he got up.
"You know every time we meet you keep falling down" she laughed
He turned around but didn't finish getting up instead he sat down facing away from her.
"Sam?" he said "Why did you look for me, I thought it would be too awkward"
"It's only awkward if I don't feel the same way" she said with a smile
He looked at her confused then he smiled as wide as he could...
