Editing for this story will be in February. For those of you who have read my profile recently, you should see a schedule up for new stories, completed stories, and editing dates. This story will not be changed at any point, except for the grammar/spelling mistakes. Also, lyrics will be added in italics, but not all of them, just a few here in there like there will be in this chapter.
And now, for the last and final chapter. Thanks so much for making my work on this so enjoyable. You have no idea how truly grateful I am. Enjoy!
Dedication:
For DannyPhantom66 and Shorty.
Friends forever.
Chapter Thirteen
It's You
If tomorrow never comes…I would just one thing…
Danny stared out into the setting sun absentmindedly, his hands shoved into his coat for warmth. It wouldn't be the first time he'd sought solitude on top of his own house. He'd never been bothered before on the roof, but that was usually what he wanted.
He could think up here. He had to admit, the past four days had been the most dramatic and confusing of his life. He'd runaway from home, been hunted by a professional, fought against a ghost and had died, but then been brought back to life and…had fallen in love.
And he'd thought his life before Sam had been complicated. Now, everything was different. In his life, he'd always had his family. Until two years ago, he'd been a part of that family. And he knew he hadn't been the best son since his mother's death. But now…Jazz knew his secret, and even though she was still giving it a lot of thought, she seemed to be liking it more and more. He realized he probably needed her more too and in a weird way, was glad that he'd finally told her. He was also really considering to tell his own dad about his ghost powers, but he was also shy about that; yet it was still on his mind.
He owed Tucker a lot of gratitude. His best friend had been a major help and Danny had probably been a jerk in return. But he was going to change that. He had to change that.
Now…now there was Sam. He'd fallen deep for her and they'd only known each other four days. He couldn't believe how he much he truly loved her. She was the best thing that had ever happened to him. He'd be willing to do anything for her.
"Danny?"
Danny turned around and jumped slightly, seeing Sam come out of the stairwell. He smiled when she walked towards him. "Hey…"
"Oh, wow. It's freezing out here," she said, standing next to him.
"It's winter," he couldn't help but reply.
She gave him a sly look. "I'm well aware of that." She grinned and stared out into the horizon. "But…it's beautiful."
"Yeah," he said, paying more attention to her then the sunset.
She noticed and smiled even more. "I was talking about the view," she said, wrapping her arms around him. "But I enjoy compliments." She leaned up and kissed him on the lips quickly. "So…what are you doing up here?"
"Thinking," he replied honestly.
She put her head on his chest. "Jazz told me you were up here in your 'fortress of solitude." She giggled and made him laugh.
"Jazz just knows that I like Superman," he told her.
"There's nothing wrong with like superheroes," she said.
"Unless…" he trailed off and tensed around her suddenly.
"Unless what?" she asked, concerned.
"Unless I put you in danger. Like I did earlier," he said.
"Danny, I put myself in danger by being friends with Karissa," she said, knowing where this was going. "You had nothing to do with it."
"I wish I could protect you all of the time," he whispered.
"But…you can't…" she said. "Something might happen, but we'll get through it." She touched his arm gently.
"My life…my job…is in constant chaos and danger with all these ghosts…and my own powers," he said. "I…I really don't want you hurt."
"Pushing me away isn't going to keep me from getting hurt Danny," she said. "Don't even try it."
"It's just…I don't want you--"
"Hurt? Yeah, I know. But I don't care."
"I do…" he said desperately.
"Danny, look at me and tell me after everything…everything we've been through in the last few days…you're going to throw it all away because you're afraid…"
"I can't," he said after a while.
"Danny…do you love me?" she asked.
"Yes," he said sincerely, closing his eyes. "I've never loved anyone like you."
"And I feel the same way. Surely a love like that can't be broken…no matter what," she said to him.
And it's you…the light changes when you're in the room
"I can't promise anything," Danny said.
"You can actually," she said.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"You can promise…to love me forever," she said, her eyes desperate.
"I would never imagine not loving you anymore," he said. He picked her up and spun her around a few times. She laughed and pulled him close, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss. "I don't know how I got by the first seventeen years of my life."
"So what do you want when all your dreams have come true Danny?" she asked him quietly.
"The chance to live it up," he said. "Make things even better. And I can't do it with just anyone." He smiled at her and leaned down, kissing her again.
"I must talk too much," she said, pulling away again, grinning.
"Yeah, you do," he teased, pressing his lips to hers.
The door to the stairwell opened again and Danny and Sam broke away to see Jazz step out onto the roof.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt," she apologized.
"That's okay," Danny said, taking Sam's hand. "H-how are you feeling?" he stammered.
"I'm better. As long as I don't get chained up to a wall anytime soon, I think I'll be okay," she said, giving him a smile. He started to say something, but she cut him off.
"Danny, I know what you're going to say. You're my brother," Jazz said. "And as much as I hate to admit to being wrong…I should have been there a lot more for you."
"I also could have told you," he said.
"Yeah, you could have," she said. "But…in a way, I could have figured it out on my own….Imagine my surprise when I find out that my little brother was part ghost."
"Imagine my surprise," Sam agreed.
"The thing is…I think it's wonderful. A little weird, sure…but all the good things you've done…" Jazz said. "And I never saw it before. But now I do."
Danny had gone a bright shade of red. "Thanks Jazz."
"Dinner's ready whenever you are," she said. "And to both of you…thanks for saving my life." Jazz smiled and walked away, back into the house.
"Now…everything's back to normal," Sam said. "Well…as normal as it gets when the love of your life is part ghost."
He laughed and kissed her quickly. "Want to stay for dinner?"
"I thought you'd never ask," she said.
"Really?" he asked.
She rolled her eyes. "That was sarcasm Danny." She laughed at the confused look on his face. "Yes, I'll stay for dinner."
"Good," he said, kissing the top of her nose. Sam smiled and he returned it, both of them never feeling happier in their lives.
"So…Sam…what do you want when all of your dreams come true?" Danny asked her, taking her hand and walking back towards the house, their arms around each other.
Sam kissed him once. "It's you."
And it's you….oh, it's you…

"Guess what?" she asked, sitting down on the couch and pulling him close to her.
"What?" he asked, wondering why she suddenly seemed so excited.
"I got my dad to do something for me," she said. "You know how I'm kind of…I don't know…alienated?"
"Well…I kind of got the hint in the hot tub," he told her.
"What?" she asked. "I was talking about religion…"
"I know that," he said, his eyes wide. He laughed. "What did you think I mean?"
She groaned. "I hang out with too many boys."
