I'm Sorry

Danny's POV

"Wow . . ." Tucker said.

"I know, but that's what I saw and now I have to keep that future from ever coming, so that Sam won't die." I explained.

After I returned from the Ghost Zone, I went to Tucker's house and explained to him everything that happened today. It took him a while to process everything, but when he did I could see the sad expression on his face.

"What are we going to do?" Tuck said.

"No this time there is no we Tuck. I have to do this on my own; I can't risk any of you getting hurt." I explained.

"Well you should have thought of that before telling me. Besides were best friends dude and I got your back no matter what."

"Thanks Tuck"

I smiled in reassurance. One problem down now only 1 million to go. Sam's still in danger of dying and on top of that Amity Park is also in danger of being destroyed. I'm not sure I can do all of this, because for one Vlad probably already has in plan in motion. It makes me sick to think that it's because of him that I wasn't able to save Sam in the future. I've thought about what my future would be like and Sam was always in it standing by my side. Wait . . . That's it! I jumped to me feet and thought of something!

"Tucker there actually might be away from preventing that future from coming!" I exclaimed.

"What is it?" He asked.

"In the future I'm still with Sam, which means we're still together!"

"So?"

"That means if we aren't together in the future, that future won't come true and Sam will still be alive!"

"So you're going to break up with Sam?"

My face fell from excitement to realization that I'll be losing Sam. I sat back down on Tucks bed and sighed. I thought over if there was any other way, but I knew deep down that this was the only answer. If I'm with Sam it will lead to her death. If I break it up with Sam she'll be safe, but crushed. In any event I'll still lose Sam . . . However, if there's a chance Sam will still be alive even if she's not by my side then that's all that matter to me. As long as she's alive and well. Even if it means letting her go . . . I turned to Tucker and he could already tell what decision I've made.

"This is only between us Tuck," I spoke.

"You got it," He replied.

. . . . .

Sam's POV

I currently on my bed using my lab top. I was looking for some new punk rock records online. Still trying to take my mind off of Danny right now. Still not over the fact that he was late . . . again. Suddenly I heard a knock from my window. I got off my bed and saw that Danny was outside my window. He gave a small smile and phased into my room. Confused to why he was here, he began to talk.

"There's something we need to talk about." He said.

"About what Danny I don't really want to talk about yesterday ok. I'm already over it, besides this is what's to be expected when dating a hero. Like you said everything will be ok." I replied.

Right when I said that sentence I saw him twitch. Something was different about Danny's attitude. I mean he show up at my window unexpected and suddenly wants to talk. Something is definitely not right. I wonder what's wrong. I saw Danny point to my bed and gesturing me to sit down. I did willingly and saw Danny turn away from me. I saw him looking down at the ground and sighing. It's like he's hiding something from me.

"Danny what's wrong, why aren't you looking at me?" I asked about to get up and go to him.

"Don't move just stay where you are!? Please . . ." He exclaimed.

I could hear in his voice how troubled he sounds. I didn't move like he said and for a few moments we sat in silence, until he began to talk.

"I can't keep the promise I made to you . . ." He spoke and I sat there confused as ever.

"What are you talking about Danny?" I asked.

He glanced over to me over his shoulders and looked back at the ground. Something was defiantly troubling him and it looked like it was killing him. He suddenly turned still looking at the ground and then his eyes laid on mine.

"I'm breaking up with you Sam . . ." He spoke.

I felt my eyes go wide with shock. I looked away from him and tried to process what he had just said to me. I looked back to him and saw that his face was expressionless and that he wasn't looking at me. I stood up from my bed and moved a little closer to him. I tried to get him to looked at me, but he avoided my gaze. So many emotions were playing threw me right now, but right now I'm still just shocked and confused.

"I don't believe you Danny." I replied calmly.

"Well believe, because I am." He replied back.

"No, that's not it Danny there's something you're not telling me because I don't believe you would just come all the way here to tell me this especially after last night."

"I'm sorry . . ."

Right when he said those words I could feel heat rising in my face. Those two words just made me so . . . angry!

"Don't you dare say that to me! Tell me what's going on Danny, because right now I'm getting really upset and angry!" I shouted.

"What is it you want me to say Sam . . . I'm breaking up with you and that's it." He replied.

"I won't believe you, what happened last night!?"

"Sam . . ."

"No tell me what happened, I won't believe any of this!"

"Sam!" Danny shouted.

He grabbed my wrists and pulled me closer to him so that I would face him. I was on the verge of tears at that moment. I looked up at him and saw a hurt expression on his face and I started to cry. I fell to the ground on my knees and he slowly got on his knees to face me. This wasn't happening . . .

Danny's POV

She started to cry and I could feel my heart twinge with pain. Please don't cry Sam . . . This is so hard for me as well. I was about to reach out to her and hug her, but I let my hand rest on the ground. I wanted to hold her and comfort her, but I couldn't. All I could do was watch as she cried. She looked at me with such a pain look in her eyes and began to speak.

"I don't understand Danny . . . what went wrong . . ." She asked.

"Nothing it's just . . . complicated . . ." I answered.

"Then tell me why you're breaking up with me!"

"Sam . . . Please . . ."

"No I want an answer! Please tell me the truth why you're really breaking up with me! I have to know Danny so I can accept it . . ."

I looked at her and it felt like my heart was breaking inside. I stood up and offered her a hand. She slowly took it and I helped her up. I held her hand for a bit and began to speak.

"The truth is . . . that I . . . don't . . . have the same feelings for you anymore . . ." I lied.

She quickly let go of my hand and took a few steps back, until she sat back down on her bed. I could see how upset and hurt she was. It pained me so much to see her like this. She didn't look at me for a while and then she looked at me.

"You'll always be by my side forever huh . . . Fine if that's how you feel . . ." She spoke.

"We'll always be friends Sam that will never change." I said and I heard her give a small laugh.

"I've heard that line so many times to know that's not true Danny. I'm not sure we can ever be friends like we used too. However, since it's you Danny I'll try. It's like you said everything will be ok."

With tears still on her face she turned away. There were so many things I wanted to say, but I couldn't. This is what's for the best right now. If this is what must be done to keep her alive then so be it. I opened her window and flew out of her room leaving a distraught Sam crying her eyes out.
