Good-Bye Forever?

Danny's POV

On my way to Sam's house I saw that guy who was in her room. I decided to confront him, but first I followed him to wherever he was going. He was heading to the Park, but once I got there he was gone in a flash. I landed on the ground and changed into my human form and suddenly someone laid their hand on my shoulder making me jump back.

"I guess you must be Danny right? The ghost boy who was following me for a while?" The guy said.

"Yeah and I'd like to know how you know Sam!" I demanded.

"Whoa take it easy chap I mean you no ill will. However, my business with Sam has nothing to do with you, but why not talk to her about it. Unless of course you're not man enough to talk to Sam."

Suddenly I felt myself get angry and I pinned the guy to the tree. He still had those serious eyes fixed on me.

"Look stay away from Sam! She means everything to me and I can't lose her!" I shouted.

"Then why did you break up with her?" He asked and I said nothing, but I released my grip on his shirt.

"Look if you think Sam and I are together, we're not ok? I tried, but she shot me down which was good. I could only see her as friend and besides it seems like she's still in love with you." He said.

"She's in love with me?" I questioned.

"Of course she is, but right now she's as lost as ever! She was really hurt after you broke up with her. When we met she told me all these wonderful storied about her best friends and they always involved you. She still loves you even now! The only thing that was keeping her here was you, but now that you're not together nothings keeping her here."

I stared at him in awe and my whole world just went from complicated to beyond complicated. This guy named Andrew explained everything to me about how Sam was doing. It's not like I didn't like Sam, it's just that I can't risk her life being in danger because of me.

"I don't know what made you break up with her because it's seems to me like you still have feelings for her. It's not my business, but if you don't convince her by tomorrow she'll be off on a plane to Paris."

"Thanks Andrew you're not a bad guy, but if I'm not by her side could you watch over her for me please. She deserves better than me right now." I said.

Sam's POV

I looked at my clock and realized how late it was. I looked outside my window and saw that it was already night. I guess I had been packing all day that I didn't even realize it. I jumped off my bed and laid there for a while, until I heard something fall on the ground. I got up and looked around my bed and saw something. I picked it up and realized it was the ring Danny gave me. I remember the day Danny broke up with me; I took the ring off and tossed it on my bed never wanting to see it again. Having it in my hands brought back many memories.

We stood in the freezing cold waiting for the Ghost portal to open any minute. We stood on white icy snow and after Jazz had left I decided to give something to Danny. He gave a confused look on his face.

"It's the ring you were going to give Valerie . . . You asked me to hold it remember. Something tells me it was really meant for me. Take it with you, but promise to bring it back. If you promise then . . . then I'll know I'll see you again." I said covering his hand with the ring.

"If we make it through this . . ." He replied.

"When we make it through this,"

"Right when we make it through this ah . . . I have a few things I need to talk to you about."

"I think I'd be willing to listen and no matter how this thing ends this whole ride we've been together, I wouldn't change it for the world not one . . . bit . . ." I said grabbing his hands.

"Me neither . . . I . . ." He said grabbing my arms.

I cut him off with a kiss on the cheek to his surprise and he let go of my arms. I looked at the ground sadden that he'd be leaving and may never come back. However, then he lifted my chin so that we were face to face and we kissed. He cupped my face and it was our first ever real kiss and it was passionate and warm. When we parted our foreheads were against each other and we both smiled.

"Wow remind me to save the World more often." He said.

I sighed as I remembered that memory. Life back then was easy, but now it's just complicated as ever. The realization is that Danny and I aren't a couple anymore and now it was time to move on. It's time to start a new life, even if it means leaving everything you love behind. I got up from my bed and felt a chill of cold air in the room. I set the ring in my pocket and went to open the window. I looked around and no one was there, but I could still feel that chill air in my room.

"Were you going to leave without saying good-bye?" A voice said.

I jumped back and quickly grabbed the nearest thing by me and held it up like it was a weapon. The thing I happened to pick up was my book. When I got a closer look, I dropped the book and realized who it was.

"Danny . . ." I whispered.

"Tucker told me you were leaving tomorrow and I wanted to come and see you one last time before you leave." Danny said coming closer to me.

I tried to stay calm and not let my emotions run. I thought I was finally getting over Danny, but if that's true then why am I feeling this way again. Standing here in this room with him is so difficult for me. Just being near him makes my heart ache.

"I met Andrew today and he told me how he was leaving with you tomorrow . . . I'm . . . happy you found someone Sam. He seems like a really good guy . . ." Danny said with a small smile.

I'm not sure how he even knew about Andrew, but that didn't really bother me. No what really bothered me was why he had such sad eyes. It's not far; he's the one that broke up with me so . . . why is he making that face for . . .

"That's not fair Danny . . . Your giving that face again, like you're in pain or sadden by something." I said.

"I'm sad because my best friend's leaving." He replied, but I didn't buy it.

Danny's POV

"That's not just it Danny you had the same look before, the day we broke up! You're not telling me everything! You say will always be friends, but friends don't keep secrets from friends!" Sam yelled.

I looked at her loss for words. I didn't want to upset her tonight. I just wanted to see her one last time and tell her good-bye. However, something in my heart wouldn't just let me say good-bye . . .

"I'm giving you one last chance Danny to tell me what's going on or else I'm leaving for Paris tomorrow." Sam said folding her arms.

I stared at her for a while as she waited for my answer. I don't want to lose her, but I can't risk her safety either. I'm sorry Sam, but your right I am keeping something from you. You just can't know right now. After a while Sam sighed and had a disappointed look on her face. Her violet eyes stared into mine as she took something out of her pocket. I realized it was the ring I gave her. She took my hand and placed it there and I saw a tear land my hand. As I looked up to her, I could see a pain look her eye.

"I'm sorry Danny . . . I'm done waiting for you. . ."

She closed my hand with the ring in it and backed away. She quickly wiped the tears and headed to the bathroom. I stood in her room for a moment and looked at the ring in my hand. At that moment, I felt as if my heart was crumbling inside. I felt a tear on my face and I wiped it away. I phased out of her room and looked back one more time. This time it actually felt like I lost her.
