Recovering

Sam's POV

It's been exactly three days since, I last spoke to Danny. Honestly it hasn't been very easy for me right now. I mean everywhere I go I hear people talking about Danny and see things that remind me of him. It's driving me insane! I mean even today when I went to the Park I saw the tree we used to sit under and how so many memories were made there. I began to cry just thinking of them and I quickly wiped them away. I pretty sure Danny isn't even thinking about me right, since he's always busy saving the day.

Still after everything we've been through I feel like Danny isn't telling me everything. I mean I can't believe his words when he told me he doesn't have the same feelings for me. I mean especially after he told me he'd always be by my side and that everything would be ok . . . I guess it was all just a lie . . . I took my phone out and hit speed dial.

"Hey . . . Can we meet up?" I asked.

Danny's POV

I started to fly around Amity Park doing my regular routine. I took my regular route and it happens to go by the tree Sam and I used to sit under. I stopped and flew down there and placed my hand on the tree. I began to remember all the memories Sam and I made here. I sharp pain went through my heart as I began to reminisce. Sam . . . I wish I could just tell you everything, so that we could be together again and that I wouldn't have to see you cry. However, right now I can't. I can't risk the chance of losing her for good. I swear though when this is over I'll tell Sam everything and maybe then . . . we could be together . . . or at least be back to normal.

Sam's POV

I looked at the clock in Nasty Burger and waited at the table alone. Suddenly the doors to the Nasty Burger opened and there I saw my best friend enter and I gave a warm smile.

"You're actually on time." I laughed.

"Of course I am you're in a depressed state right now." He replied.

"Yeah that makes one of us . . . How's Danny lately, Tucker?"

"Honestly he seems pretty well. I mean Danny is Danny right?"

"Yeah . . . right?"

Like I thought of course Danny's ok . . . Why would he be depressed like I am? I mean he's the one that broke up with me so I guess that's to be expected. I looked at my drinking and clenched the cup. I looked back at Tucker and gave a small smile.

"There's actually another reason why I called you Tucker." I said.

"What is it?" He questioned.

"Back when Danny and I were still dating about a month ago I received a letter . . ."

"And?"

"Well it's from my parents . . . you know how their living in Paris right now . . . well they want me to join them up there so that we could all be a family."

"So you're leaving!"

"I don't know, I mean it's my choice to stay here still with Grandma, but . . . It's really hard to stay in a town where your ex-boyfriend is a hero and gets tons of requests from girls to date him."

"When do you have to make the decision by?"

"Soon, but Tucker right now I'm considering it. I mean if Danny's over it between us then maybe I should be too and starting a new life somewhere else doesn't sound so bad."

I saw Tucker give a pained look, but quickly covered it up with a smile. It's like he was going to say something, but stopped. This is what's for the best right, so maybe moving might be a good thing.

"Tucker has Danny said anything to you lately? I mean when we broke up that day he sounded like he was hiding something from me. It looked as though it was killing him from the inside." I asked and Tucker twitched when I asked him.

"He hasn't said anything to me Sam, maybe your just imagining it." He replied quickly.

"I don't know Tucker, but he seems really bothered by something."

After that whole conversation Tucker had to go back to work. I mean he is the mayor after all. As for me I decided it's best if I head home back to Grandma and make sure she's ok. I looked around my surroundings and I could hear girls laughing and talking about Danny which made me a little upset. I kept walking and staring at the ground. Suddenly someone bumped into me making me fall on my butt!

"Ouch watch where you're going!" I yelled.

"I'm so sorry here let me help you up." The voice said offering a hand.

I looked and saw a boy my age help me back up. He had brown hair and green eyes and wore a green shirt and long black pants. I let go of his hand and smiled.

"Sorry about that, I didn't see where I was going." He explained and I noticed he had a British accent.

"It's actually my fault I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, so sorry I yelled." I apologized and we both laughed.

"I'm Andrew by the way." He said offering a hand shake.

"I'm Sam short for Samantha." I replied shaking his hand.

"Well Sam it was nice meeting you and I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to find out where this place called Nasty Burger is. My friends tell me the burgers there actually aren't actually nasty."

"Oh well if you want I could show you where it is. I actually just came from there."

"I'd love that,"

He gave me a warm smile that I could picture many girls falling for. Once I got back to Nasty Burger for the second time, I was about to leave and say good-bye.

"Wait you can't go yet, I mean you took me to this place despite already being here today. Let me at least treat you here." Andrew said.

"Sorry I don't eat the food here." I replied.

"Let me guess you're not just any vegetarian you're an Ultra-Recyclo Vegetarian."

"Good guess, but how did you know that. You're not some weird stalker or mind reader are you?"

"I'm just really good at reading people. Ok how about I buy you a milkshake then. I'd really like to get to know you."

He gave a goofy looking smile to which made me laugh. I willingly agreed and sat down with him and drank my milkshake while he ordered his food. As we got our stuff we really got to know each other and for a while I didn't think about Danny and just felt myself again.

"No way, you collect Punk Rock records too!" I shouted.

"Yeah does that surprise you?" He asked.

"Well yeah you don't seem like the type of guy. I mean first off you came from Paris and have a British accent."

"Doesn't mean every charming British guy is always proper. I like to do things my own way."

"Charming?" I laughed.

"Well I got you here to sit and chat with me. In my book I think I have the right to call myself charming." He laughed.

We both laugh and enjoyed each other's company. Then I began to think about how Danny and I used to do stuff like this. Just when I was feeling a little bit better, I feel like crap again. After he finished eating and I finished my milkshake we walked out of Nasty Burger.

"It was really nice meeting you Sam and maybe you'd like to go out again sometime with me." He said.

"Look you're a great guy, but I just got out of a serious relationship and right now I'm not looking to date anyone." I said and started to feel all depressed again.

"I understand I've been there and done that before. It's cool, but if you ever need a friend to talk to you can call me. I'm still in town for a while so maybe we can just hang out of something."

"Yeah I'd like that, thanks Andrew."

He grabbed my hand and kissed the top of it which made me blush a little. He looked at my face and grinned. I watched as he walked away. I sighed and headed home. Although today wasn't exactly how I planned it, it still turned out pretty good. I feel like I made one step to recovery. Getting over Danny . . .
