Chapter 7
Danny transformed into Danny Phantom behind a bush, not wanting to be spotted by anyone and be slowed down. When he was done, he turned invisible and set off to find that blasted motorcycle. After a few minutes of searching, the young halfa spotted the red vehicle going faster than it should have down to Sam's house. He clenched his fist in annoyance when he saw Sam smile- actually smile- at the blond.
Frustrated, Danny phased through the roof of her house into her room. He transformed back into his human form and sat cross legged on her bed. How was he going to handle the situation? If he just apologized, nothing would ever be resolved; they'd just go back to fighting sooner or later. He sighed, wondering what he should do.
His thoughts were interrupted by a loud shutting of the door. Sam walked into her room with crossed arms and narrowed eyes. "What is it now, Danny?" she asked, visibly drained at the sight of him.
"Who was that guy?"
"Why do you need to know?" she snapped.
His eyes narrowed. "Oh, I don't know, because I'm your boyfriend?"
She snorted. "That doesn't give you any kind of claim over me; I don't have to tell you anything."
Danny sighed deeply. "You know I didn't mean it like that."
"Then how did you mean it?"
"I don't know- I just wanted to know who he was because I don't like you getting on motorcycles with random guys."
"But that's the thing, Danny! He is justa random guy. He's just some kid in my science class, ok?"
He nodded, got off the bed and walked toward her. "Look, Sam, you know I love you, right?" he asked, carrying on when he saw her nod. "And you love me too?"
The Goth just looked at him as if he'd just asked the stupidest question in the world. "Of course I do."
He took her hand, staring at the class ring he'd given her after the whole 'End of The World' fiasco. "Then why is it so easy to get in between us?" he asked, concentrating on her finger.
Sam's expression softened. "All couples fights, Danny. Just because we've been doing it more than usual doesn't mean anything." She leaned into his body and nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck. "I know I've been a jerk lately, but… I don't know; I've just been having a bad feeling lately."
"Because of Allyson?" he presumed.
She shook her head and closed her eyes in thought. "I don't know what it is... there's just this uneasy feeling around me."
He smirked. "There's always an uneasy feeling around you."
She rolled her eyes and punched him lightly on the shoulder. "Shut up."
"So how are we going to resolve this?" Danny asked. "You know as long as you hate your sister, we're going to fight."
Sam's grin faded. "Maybe you should just stop bringing her up then," she growled.
"See?!" he exclaimed. "We literally just made up!"
"We weren't fighting." She pulled herself away and sighed. "Maybe… maybe we should just take a break," she said, unintentionally letting a bit of sadness into her voice. "Like you said, all we do is fight, and we're both tired of it."
He blinked. "I wanted to resolve this, Sam," he said taking a step closer to her, "not break up."
She took a step back. "Obviously there's something wrong here, Danny," she said, exasperated. "You didn't even trust me enough to let me get a ride from a guy who I have no interest in whatsoever, and spied on me with your ghost powers; you constantly bring up my sister and take her side- I don't know if we can resolve any of that!"
"I don't not trust you," he defended, "I just didn't trust him with you."
Her eyes narrowed.
"I do trust you!" he shouted. "And I only bring her up because it would be better for the both of you if you made up!"
"Danny," Sam said.
"I love you, Sam," he whispered.
She nodded. "I know, but we're not working out. Maybe if we just take a step back, we can get back on track, but right now we're not going anywhere."
"We can work this out, Sam, we always have."
"This is working it out."
He shook his head and turned around. "So we're broken up now?"
She thought for a moment. "I don't know… is taking a break breaking up?"
He shrugged numbly.
"For now, let's just go back to when we were friends. We can deal with the drama later," she said, failing to give a convincing smile. The Goth took off her ring and halfheartedly handed it back to Danny Fenton. "Hold onto this for me."
He stared at it sadly before asking, "Are you sure this is what you want?"
"It's only for a little while, right? We can manage."
He walked toward her and placed a light kiss on her forehead before leaving the residence with the ring.
