Life and Love
Chapter Two
Authors note: I own nothing but the plot. Trust me, there'd be more episodes if I did.
When the bell rang, Sam waited thirty seconds before leaving the room. She walked down the same path that she had just taken about 8 minutes before hand. She saw Danny by his locker, reading her note. She walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder as he ran his hand through his hair. When Danny saw her, he bent down and pulled her into a hug and lifted her feet off the ground.
"You can stay with me for as long as you need. In fact, I'll make it so you'll move in with me." Danny told her. She hugged him fiercely and whispered a tiny thank you in his ear.
The two walked down to lunch holding hands, they heard some familiar voices muttering finally as they walked past them. During lunch Danny ate some hardly edible food from the cafeteria, and Sam ate a salad she had brought from home. She figured it was much healthier. Sam had more to tell Danny too, he'll probably be mad or upset but he'd help her out, he always did. After lunch, they went to their last class of the day. Once said class was done, they met outside of the school and began to walk to Sam's house.
"We have to go get your stuff and tell your dad what's going on. I won't let him hurt you anymore, and I won't let you face him by yourself. I've already called my parents, they know what's going on but they agreed on letting you stay with me." Danny briefed her on how the rest of the day would plan out during the 15 minute walk to her house. The walk over was peaceful too. Danny held her hand, it felt nice, and right. Like it should have happened a long time ago.
Once they got to her house, she used her key and let herself in. She knew her dad would be in the Den, watching t.v. and drinking some scotch. And boy was she right. He looked like he hadn't showered or been to work that day. So he probably hadn't.
"What's he doing here, Samantha? You know you can't have people over until your homework is done." Her father asked her in a slurred voice once he finally noticed that she had came in.
"He's here to help me get my things. I'm leaving dad." She told him.
"Stupid slut, probably just leaving so you can have sex with him. This is why your mother killed herself, she knew what her daughter would become." He said as he stumbled his way over to her and pushed her into the wall behind her. Danny pushed him about from her and brought her upstairs to her room. Once she was in there, she sat on her bed and cried on Danny's shoulder. Five minutes there was knocking on her door.
"Sammy, please don't go. You're all I have." Her father's voice came through from the other side.
"You have your scotch." She told him in an icy tone.
She heard her father go down the stairs and into the basement. Danny started to help her pack all her things into a few bags and suitcases. As one became full, he flew them over to his house, to make it easier once they were all done. It took an hour for them to get everything together and over to his house. All that was left was themselves. When they got there, it was already nine at night. Danny went down to the kitchen and made them some peanut butter sandwiches, by the time he got back up Sam was wearing her sleep clothes, a black knee- length shirt and probably just underwear on. He saw her sitting on his bed waiting for him. He thought that she looked so damn sexy.
"I brought food." He told her once he was able to think again.
"Thanks."
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm okay. I feel better just to be out of there." She told him.
"Yeah, I bet."
