Someone Like You

Best Friends

It was a wrap for season 2 of All American and they were celebrating until it was time to go on with their lives until it's time to film season 3. "Wow, I can't believe we're finished with season 3 already" Samantha told Greta. "Right? What am I supposed to do with my life now?" Daniel walked passed them with Samantha looking over her shoulder "you're not going to say anything? Just walk pass me like I don't exist?" He chuckled before turning to face her "my bad Sam. Great season" he held out his hand for a high-five. "Now you're giving out high-fives instead of hugs? I feel replaced. Who is she?" She joked with Greta laughing. "You two are too much" she walked over to Michael. "All seriousness, you kill't that scene where Olivia was having the flashback to when she overdose. I just wanted to hug you" he told her. "How about you hug me now" she insisted. Daniel hugged her with her closing her eyes after wrapping her arms around him. "I don't think I ever said this before but you give out the best fucking hugs ever" he chuckled as he rubbed her back before pulling away. "It takes two people to give out an incredible hug" she started smiling as she looked away. "What?" She giggled before shaking her head "it's the scent isn't it?" She tucked her lips in before nodding "God, Sam" she giggled "sorry I can't help it. It's so beautiful" she told him making him roll his eyes. Michael walked up to them "that was a bad ass episode from my TV sister" he gave her a high-five. "Wait he can give you a high-five but I can't? What kind of mess is that?" She giggled "She loves your hugs better than mines bro" she pat Daniel's shoulder before walking over to Kia. "I'm gonna miss filming" Michael mentioned. "Yeah me too" Daniel told him. "So do you think you and Sam are gonna play on screen love interests next season?" Daniel smiled a little. "Maybe? I don't know.." Michael gave him a look. "You know more than us. You're the star of the show" he chuckled "Bro I don't know nothing" Daniel kept glancing at Samantha who was laughing with Kia. Michael glanced from Daniel to Samantha "I would love to see it" Michael said before walking away.

Daniel was walking Samantha to her car "you do know you don't have to walk me, right? I'm a big girl I can handle myself" his eyebrows narrowed as he stopped in front of her car to face her. "I don't care how big of girl you are, I'm not about to have you walk by yourself in the dark. You crazy? It's dangerous out here and I would go insane if someone was to try and harm you" he brought a smile to her face "Just like Spencer, you're trying to play the hero. But you don't have to worry so much about me. I'm fine" she told him.  "I'm always worried about you and just like Olivia you're in denial" she rolled her eyes playfully. "Well thank you" she gave him a smile. "You're welcome. So how are you doing mentally?" She froze before looking up at him "no one asks me that..." she trailed off. "I'm asking you that. You're my homegirl. I have to look out for you plus I know you're going through a break up" she looked down. "I'm okay....." he lifted up her chin "Sam?" She looked at him with sadness in her eyes. "Honestly Daniel, I'm going through a lot right now. Yes with the break up with Dylan was a little hard but I also have my depression kicking in" she looked down. "I thought I had it under control but I guess not....." he knew about her battling with depression and anxiety. She told him the first week they met because she was going through something back then during season 1. "If you don't have any plans, would you like to come by? We can talk, cry, laugh, whatever you want" she nodded before hugging him tight "thank you Daniel."

Samantha followed Daniel to his apartment. He opened the door and walked in with her following behind. She closed the door before raising an eyebrow seeing a pair of his briefs on the floor. "My bad" he chuckled embarrassing while picking them up and taking them to his room which made her giggle to herself. He came back from his bedroom "nice briefs.." he chuckled "enough of that, would you like anything to eat or drink?" She wasn't picky "surprise me." Daniel walked into the kitchen and poured her a glass of wine including himself. She was looking at a picture of him and his mom which made her smile. "I love this photo" she told him who walked up to her with her glass "thanks" she took it from him "thanks" she mumbled. "You're welcome, now shall we" he walked to the couch and sat down. She walked over and sat next to him. "So want to talk about it?" She took a sip of her wine before placing the glass on the coffee table. "I'm not happy...." he placed his down before crossing his leg with his arm rested on the top of the couch. "With what Sam?" She shrugged "I don't know... I just.. one minute I'm fine and then all of a sudden I feel like I'm in this dark place waiting for someone to pull me out of it. I just don't know why I feel this feeling and I hate it Daniel, I hate it so much..." she trailed on before he stopped her. "Hey" he held her hand with her slowly looking down at their hands "I'm gonna help you through this. You don't have to worry about feeling alone, I got you Sam" she hugged him right feeling a tear fall from her eyes. "You make me feel so much better. Lord knows how much I need your hugs" she rested her head against his shoulder not letting go of the hug. "You'll find a way outta this battle by whooping ass" she giggled mostly because of his accent. "You're a fighter Sam, one of the bravest I know" he rubbed her back before they pulled away. "It's crazy because our characters are extremely close and so are we. I guess that's why we have undeniable chemistry on screen" he gave her a nod. "Do you think the writers is gonna link our characters together? Put them as boyfriend and girlfriend?" A smile formed on her face as she thought quickly. "They better.. I would love to see Spelivia. They're so cute" she looked down with the same smile. "Mostly because I'm playing Spencer" she giggled. "Whatever but hey the fans wants us together so I don't see why they would dodge a bullet by not putting them together. It makes sense for them to be endgame. They've been through so much separately and have been there for one another. Plus he took a bullet for her. If that doesn't show they're endgame then I don't know what does" he agreed with her. "Besides they're gonna spend the whole entire summer together. There's absolutely no way they're not gonna at least kiss or something" Daniel told her. "Ew... so that means I have to kiss you" he acted offended "what's that supposed to mean? I'm a good kisser you can ask the girls I've been with" she giggled "I'm joking... but girls you've been with?" She raised an eyebrow with him laughing "not like that, I mean the girls I've dated chill Sam don't be jealous or what you Americans say.. jelly?" she laughed. "Never say it like that again" he chuckled "how did I say it?" She mocked him "don't be jelly" he burst out laughing making her laugh some more. It went on for a solid 2 minutes before she told him how she appreciates him. "Thank you for making me smile and laugh. I truly need it... you're like my own personal therapist" she kissed his cheek with him looking at her "anytime you need someone to talk to or anything, I'm here Sam. You're my best friend and I'm not about to have you depressed. I don't care if you have to hangout with me until you feel better. I just don't want you to be alone" he told her. "I love you so much Daniel, you're beyond awesome and like I said you make me feel better. You make me feel whole after having such a lonesome feeling day when when I was surrounded by many people I love" she told him. "I'm glad I can make you feel whole."
