Hi everyone I'm so sorry for such a late update! My life has been super stressful lately and I just didn't have any desire to write. But thanks to this quarantine I finally have a few weekends to myself so I'll be trying to update/finish everything! This chapter was started a long time ago so I'm sorry if it's written badly I'm trying to improve.

So any way you don't want to hear how I'm doing! I hope you enjoy this new chapter of Sam's return, and a disclaimer I don't own any of the characters they all below to the creator and writers of Danny Phantom I just add my own spin!:)

It was late afternoon by the time Sam finally got back to her house. She had driven around for most of the afternoon after Nasty Burger, seeing as she needed to get her thoughts a little more in order before she went back to her home. With all of the memories that house would dredge up, she didn't need the current sight of Danny to disrupt her thoughts while she was there any more than they already were. She knew that tonight she would barely sleep on account of wanting to get the house done, but she couldn't help stalling on her way home from Nasty Burger. She went to the park and sat on the fountain for a while, remembering everything that had happened before driving around to all of their favorite hang out places. She even drove by Danny's house, which still had the giant metal contraption on top of it. That dug up so many memories she almost started to cry, at least that was before Daniel and Maddy showed up, then she drove away as quickly as she could since she wanted to be saved from that awkward encounter.

When it was starting to get dark she finally drove home. Now, she planned to work well into the night to have it mostly done by morning. She didn't want to talk to anyone, most importantly Danny. She might stop by Jazz's tomorrow before she leaves but that was all she wanted to have to do with that family. Shaking her head to get rid of those thoughts Sam changes into a pair of grey sweatpants and a white short-sleeve shirt before tying her hair up and getting to work. She finished in the living room and kitchen before going upstairs and slowly working on her parents' room, packing up any pictures or clothes from either of them that she might want, which was minimal since she still detested totally bright colors like what their closet consisted of. When she got everything she needed and packed up everything she didn't, she moved on into her old room which was exactly the same. Her parents had thrown sheets over her furniture so she whipped it off, but as the dust cleared she gasped and fell backward as the dust settled over a shape that had previously been invisible. The figure shakes off the dust and becomes tangible again so Sam could actually see them. It was some ghost that they had never had a large fight with, it had an eyeball for a head, an apron, and a smoking pipe sticking out of its mouth. "Well well well, if it isn't the Ghost Boy's little girlfriend come back to town." He sneers.

Sam rolls her eyes and stands up so she can dust herself off. "Right, so you're an eyeball ghost or something? What are you gonna do, enter a staring contest with me, and if I lose I die? Sure, look dude I'm not in the mood, just go haunt somewhere else. And FYI, I'm not dating Danny, what is with you ghosts and insisting that we're dating?"

The ghost's arm extends until he has Sam pinned up against the wall by her neck. "Listen to me girly, I've been runnin' this joint ever since your two old bats died. Gotcha? This is my turf now and I ain't givin' it up to some stuck up human who thinks she's special since she's datin' the Ghost Boy."

"I told you I'm not dating him!" Sam protests as the ghost wraps his hand tighter around her throat so she can't breathe at all.

"Don't care, now how about you just skedaddle before I have to crush this frail little neck of yours." He laughs as he lets go of her so she falls, coughing.

"How about you skedaddle before you won't have an ectoplasmic body to leave with." A voice replies as Sam looks up with spotty vision to see Danny phase through the wall and tackle the ghost down to the ground. But Sam passes out before she can see the outcome of the fight.

Hours later, Sam wakes back up with a pounding hangover-like headache and a dry throat. She rubs at her temples as she slowly sits up in her old bed, but the sight of Danny sitting at the other end of her bed, causes her to freeze. "I would've thought you'd be better at that, seeing as you bossed us around fighting ghosts all those years ago." Danny bites as soon as he sees she's awake.

Sam narrows her eyes, "right, well it's been 'all those years' and since Amity Park seems to be the only town with ghosts that go after me because I dated the Ghost Boy, I haven't had to deal with them. And I didn't go seeking them out either."

"Surprising, since you were the one to get us into this mess in the first place." Danny rolls his eyes and crosses his arms over his chest.

Sam grits her teeth and gives into the anger. "Yes, I did tell you to go into the portal, but guess what Danny! You didn't have to go! And it was your stupidity that pushed the button and got powers! I helped you through it! I fought with you whenever I could and I saved your sorry ass more times than you care to admit because of your hero complex! So it is so not my fault that we are where we are today because you made all of those choices, not me! I made the best out of a shitty situation and all I got was shown to the door! So take your pity party and go bother someone that actually cares!"

Just so she could make it seem final, Sam tried to stand up to storm out of the room, but her head got heavy and her vision danced. She couldn't even say anything as she fell to the ground. But with even more anger she realized she didn't hit the ground, she didn't hit anything at all. She opened her eyes and turned to see Danny standing over her, his blue eyes help no anger, just concern, and sorrow. Sam tried to struggle out of his hold, but he must've been working out on top of all the ghost fighting because he just tightened his hold and didn't budge. "Sam, now that you've yelled at me, will you just listen?"

She knew the hatred she felt a moment ago lessened with the look alone that he gave her, but those words almost completely broke her. "Let me up Danny, now."

He shook his head and met her eyes. "I won't if you're just going to run away."

Her eyes narrowed as he at least let her stand on her own two feet, but kept his extremely well-muscled arms around her. "Sam…I'm sorry."

Her jaw wanted to fall open, but she kept it firmly closed as he scanned her for a reaction. She hoped she didn't give him one so he'd suffer a little bit.

The poor guy sighed and kept talking. "I'm sorry for how we left things. Jazz brought it up today after the fight, and after I yelled at her for not telling me about you." He huffs out a sheepish laugh before continuing. "Back when we were kids, I thought I had the whole world figured out. I was Danny Phantom, the half-ghost that saved the world. I had you as my girlfriend, Tucker was right there with us, and my parents weren't mad at me because I was a ghost. I thought life was perfect. And then…you got accepted to college."

She was fuming and started to fight against him again, "you're blaming this entire thing on me?! Seriously!? Just because I wanted to get out of Amity Park and do something with my life other than fighting ghosts, you're seriously going to tell me how sad and angry you are that I ruined your perfect little fantasy!? What kind of apology is that!?"

She tried to kick him but he just made his leg intangible, and that made her even angrier. "Sam would you calm down for a second so I can continue with this?" He sounded more annoyed and frustrated than angry but Sam didn't care, if she was just going to get scolded by an old flame that she left 10 years ago she wanted to get out. They struggled for a few minutes before Danny finally had enough and pinned her against the wall with all the force he could. "If you would just let me finish then you would understand why I rejected you!"

They were both breathing hard, but Sam was trying to figure out a way to get out of his hold. This was a great time to realize she should've eaten meat when she was younger because she had absolutely no muscle. All she could do was glare up at Danny and snarl, "fine, then talk. The faster you finish the faster you can leave."

She saw the hurt flash across his face but she couldn't care less. He had her pinned to the wall of her house! That didn't even make sense! "Fine, I'll try and be quick. When you said that you were leaving, I was happy for you because I knew that that's what you wanted to do. But I knew I wasn't smart enough to follow you and even though my parents are great, they wouldn't have been able to support me going all the way out there to follow you. And I started to think about everything that could happen while you were gone. You could be attacked and I wouldn't be there, or you would meet someone out there and not want to come back. I never told you any of this because I knew you would try and stay and I didn't want you to hold back your future for a guy who could only get accepted into Amity Park Community College that fought supernatural beings every day.

"It all came to a head during graduation when they announced what college you were accepted into. Tucker was a tech geek but he only applied to APCC because I was going there. I didn't have anything to give you that a Harvard guy could, and that just made me angry. So when you proposed I blew up. I thought you were sabotaging yourself, marrying me. So I wanted to make sure that you wouldn't. Yes, there were better ways of handling it but-."

"Better ways of handling it!? Are you kidding me! You alienated me from my best friends! You broke my heart! You humiliated me in front of our families! How could you!? For your own fucking insecurities, you wrecked me! For weeks I never went anywhere! I mourned our relationship like someone died because I spent five of the best years with my life with you and you ended it after I proposed! You didn't handle it at all!" Sam finally wrestled her arms away from his hold and pushed him as hard as she could, sending back enough that she felt like she could finally breathe. "And what? Did you think this big apology would get me to come crawling back? I've hated you for 10 years, Danny! And telling me you 'broke up with me because you were insecure' is not an explanation! It's a fucking excuse! Maybe if you had said this to me before I left it would've made a difference but right now, I'm so fucking done that I just want you out of my house!"

He stood there, having the gall to look shocked as Sam screamed at him, but she couldn't give a shit. "I said GET OUT DANIEL FENTON!" She knew using his full name was a bit of a low blow but she just wanted to sleep and get this horrible day over with.

Danny opened his mouth to talk, but she was satisfied to see that he didn't even attempt it. He quickly phased into his ghost form even though he had no use for anonymity and flew out of her window. As soon as he was gone Sam screamed to get it out of her system, before crying herself to sleep.

And that's the end of the second chapter of Sam's Return I actually enjoyed writing it and would love to hear any feedback about it. Yes, it's a big fight scene and there's a bit of a relationship cliffhanger. I'm a terrible person what can I say, so as always comment leave a favorite or a bookmark or whatever else you want! I'll see you all later for the next chapter!
