Chapter 2: Story Time
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom.
Sam entered the house, tired from the house party she had been to all evening. Rich people sure had a lot of energy was what she was thinking as she made her way upstairs. Benjamin entered behind her, a huge smile on his face. He personally had enjoyed the party. He had seen all of his friends and had done a lot of manly chat with them, discussing basically how rich he was and what he could afford, not to mention, how beautiful and obedient his wife was. All of his friends envied him because of Samantha. She was absolutely beautiful and graceful not to mention she didn't nag Benjamin as their wives nagged them.
"Was that party not wonderful?" Benjamin asked as he ran up the stairs to embrace Sam from behind. Sam scowled as he hugged her from behind and started to kiss her on her neck. She pushed him off.
"I…I…I'm not feeling so well right now, Benjamin. I'd appreciate it if you could just back off a little tonight," she said to him.
"Samantha, why is it that every time I want to engage in sexual intercourse with you, you never feel well? You do realize that in the four years we have been married I have only had sex with you once a year?" He asked.
"I'm sorry, but…I have to go do something else," she said and turned away from him.
"Didn't you just say that you weren't feeling well, Sam? If you're ill then you should be lying in bed and I'll take care of you," Benjamin said. He turned Sam around to face him. He raised her hand to his mouth and lowered his lips to it as his eyes remained locked with hers.
'NO!!' Something screamed in her head. It was the same voice that had screamed 'no' every time she was kissing Benjamin or the few times she had had rather boring sex with him. She never had sex with him often because it would just come down to one name: Danny. Then her mind would drift off to that wonderful night with Danny, that sinful night that she couldn't bring herself to regret. She couldn't stop thinking about how she wished she was married to Danny instead of Benjamin.
Benjamin kissed the promise ring she had received years before. She wore it on the same finger where she wore her wedding ring. She had worn it on every date she had been on with Benjamin and even on her wedding day. She couldn't help feeling guilty, as if she was cheating on her husband, but she couldn't take it off or leave it at the house, it meant too much to her and she knew and always had that she and Danny were soul mates and were meant to be together till the end of time and beyond.
Her hand fell to her side as Benjamin dropped it.
"You never told me about this ring, Sam. You always had it on, on every date and after we were married. Did some old boyfriend give it to you?" He joked.
"No, he wasn't my boyfriend," she said.
'He was much more,' she added in her mind. Benjamin knew nothing of Danny and it was best he didn't, according to her parents that is.
"So what was he? I mean, you were it everywhere! I am your husband, how can I not know him?" He raised his voice.
"He died," Sam stated. Benjamin shut up when he heard that.
"And he was absolutely the most wonderful person I had met, apart from Tucker that is. If I could name the most important people in my life it would be Tucker, then him," Sam said, wanting to tell him the truth and leave him appalled, leave him feeling like the crappiest person on the earth, but she caught herself before the damage could be done.
"At least, that was a long time ago, before…before I met you," she said and her eyes fell to her left. She was lying to him, making him feel like he was the only thing that mattered to her now. She couldn't look him in the eyes. She was leading him on and she had to continue to do it or else things would get bad.
"So, did you love him?" Benjamin asked. Sam's eyes snapped up to look at him. Had he caught her.
"As a friend, Samantha since I know that in truth I am your first boyfriend, now husband," he said haughtily. Sam's expression relaxed at his words.
"Yes I did, I loved him more than life itself," she said.
"Samantha, I love you, you do know that, right?" He asked after a few seconds of hesitation, feeling like he needed to hear his wife say it since she could say it for some dead guy.
"Yeah, I know," she said, turning away. She made the rest of the way up the stairs and knocked on Zoey's door. Benjamin couldn't help but notice that she didn't say it back. Zoey opened her door, saw Sam standing outside and Benjamin standing on the stairs and she ushered Sam inside quickly.
"So, how did the party go?" Zoey asked as she slammed and locked the door behind her, not really interested in hearing about the party.
"It sucked, how can you party with people who only think about how expensive their stuff is? And I had to lie to Ben again, this time directly. He expects me to say that I love him but…but I can't because I don't. My heart belongs to someone else, even though I may never see him again," Sam said as she flopped on Zoey's bed. Zoey sat beside her mother and looked at her expectedly. Sam looked at her.
"It's time to hear that story you wanted to tell me, Sam you know about how and why you got married to that dummy, instead of the guy you always talk about yet never tell me his name," Zoey said.
"Okay, get comfy," Sam said patting the space beside her. Zoey grinned widely as she made herself comfortable beside Sam. Sam stared at the ceiling as all the memories came washing over her: both the good ones and the bad ones. She closed her eyes, sighed and thought of how and where to begin.
"Well, it all began with me deciding that I didn't want to be like everyone or more specifically be like all the rich, spoilt brats I had met through my mother and father. I decided to be different and because of that these problems started to come from out of nowhere, problems I didn't know existed. For instance, they said they never really wanted a child and that they wished they had aborted me," Sam started.
"When you say different, what do you mean?" Zoey asked, staring at the ceiling also.
"I was Goth, like you and they wished I was more girly, more into spending their money, but I wasn't. Anyway, one day they decided to move, I guess they thought that by moving into a new town I would become a new person."
"So, did you?" Zoey asked. Sam smiled as the most important person in the story was now ready to be introduced.
"Yes I did," Sam said.
"How? Did you change then and started to suck up to those dimwits?" Zoey asked.
"No, Zoey. I met a guy. And his name was Danny Fenton."
I know its short but I couldn't resist leaving it at this. It was so tempting, now we're gonna find out what Sam says about Danny in the next chapter. I can't wait. This is my last year of high school (11th grade at my school) and I have this huge exam next year, about 9 months time so…I can't promise a chapter per month like I do. Got lots of studying to do.
