Hi guys. This is a new story i am working on and i hope you enjoy it. I read LVCEBREROS's story called Pulse-season 1 and i was amazed and so, with permission, i am creating a story using the same characters and i am going to try and finish it. My other story Secret Date will be updated later today sometime. I am working on the chapter. Also, this happened after the Seddie arc. Try and imagine this happening. The story starts 5 and a half months after ILove You.
Please enjoy :)
The pain running through his stomach forced him to his knees, his screams held back as the three adults ran to his side. The smell of blood filled the air as the boy was laid on his back, the blood coming out of his stomach and staining his shirt alarmingly fast. The pain kept getting more and more intense and soon, the world started to blur.
"Stay with us kid." A man said, his voice sounding distant. He felt his eyes droop, but he forced his eyes to stay open, a woman sobbing next to him, lifting him up slightly and making him gasp in pain.
"This might hurt." A second man said and then he leant down to the boy's throat, his eyes glowing red.
***************************Earlier that day******************************
17 year old Freddie stood in front of his mirror having just done his teeth and hair. He was taking as long as he could before facing the mess that was his mother.
"Fredward, hurry up. I would like to see you before you before I leave." His mother yelled into his room and he groaned. He then looked at his appearance once more and sighed before walking out of his bathroom into his room. He was wearing a long sleeved grey shirt with black jeans and black Chuck Taylors. As he was leaving his room, he grabbed his phone and wallet and put them in his pocket.
"There you are. Now I have to go to work so I'll call to check up on you when I get there." Marisa said.
"I'm 16 years old. I don't need to be constantly checked." Freddie groaned.
"Excuse me, but you are a young boy who is still growing and i- where are you going?" Marisa asked as Freddie walked out of the apartment.
"Away from you." Freddie called back, entering the Shay's apartment and closing the door, sighing in relief.
"Hey Freddillina." Sam said when she saw him, her sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Hello Princess Puckett. Where's Carly?" Freddie asked.
"Shower. Hey, go get me some ham." Sam said. Sam was wearing a long sleeved green shirt with faded blue jeans with her purple converses. Her golden hair was down as it normally was and she was wearing a small amount of makeup.
"Never gonna happen." Freddie replied.
"I will throw this remote and it will be to a place that it hurts." Sam said and Freddie shrugged, going over to the kitchen and getting himself a bottle of water.
"Oh. When did you get here Freddie?" Carly asked Freddie when she came downstairs a minute later.
"About a minute ago. Why are you dressed all snazzy?" Freddie asked. Carly was wearing a frilly white sleeveless shirt with dark blue jeans, a pair of silver flats on and her hair down with her fringe pinned back, her face all dolled up.
"Because she has a date with some guy named Brian. They're going out for breakfast in 10 minutes." Sam said as she walked into the kitchen and got herself the ham out of the fridge.
"Ten minutes? Oh no. I thought I had longer than that. How do I look? Oh no. I look terrible don't I?" Carly asked as someone knocked on the door.
"Carly, take a deep breath and then go and get the door. If it's Brian, say hello and then go. If it's my mum, close the door quickly and I'll run out the back." Freddie said.
"Why are you hiding from your mother?" Sam asked as Carly went and got the door.
"She keeps asking questions about how I'm feeling since my dad's accident and I don't really want to be near her right now. It's really uncomfortable." Freddie replied.
"How are you feeling about that?" Sam asked softly, but Freddie didn't have to answer because Sam understood by the look on his face.
"Hi Brian." Carly said and Sam and Freddie turned their heads to see a boy with brown hair wearing a black jacket, a dark green shirt, dark jeans and black Nike high top shoes.
"Have fun." Sam called out as Brian and Carly left and when the front door was closed, Freddie smiled at Sam and took the ham.
"I'll make you a sandwich so that you can enjoy the ham and cheese together." Freddie said, seeing the block of cheese on the bench in front of Sam who smiled and pushed it towards him.
"How long has it been since the accident?" Sam asked him as he got the bread, butter, lettuce, tomato and a butter knife and a cutting knife.
"5 months." Freddie replied as he started to make the sandwich.
"And they still haven't found your aunt?" Sam asked and Freddie shook his head.
"I still can't believe that she escaped the car. Especially considering the way it was and how much blood she lost." Freddie said.
"Have you got any more calls from her or those two guys that she told you about? You know, the ones she said saved her?" Sam asked.
"No, but I got another email from another family member. They still send me sympathy emails. I just want to forget all about it." Freddie said.
"Freddie, you saw it happen. They just want to make sure that you're okay." Sam said.
"I know, but I wish they would stop treating me like a glass doll. When anyone tries to talk about it, they choose their words carefully and don't bring up my missing aunt or that it was a car crash or anything. They just say something about 'a terrible accident' and I am kind of getting annoyed. But don't say that to Carly. She would only start crying again." Freddie said.
"Don't worry Benson. You're secrets safe with me." Sam said and Freddie smiled. After Freddie had witnessed a semi-truck slamming into his father's car which had his dad and his dad's sister in it, Sam, who had also seen it happen, was the first person to comfort him and she told him straight out that she had heard his aunt had somehow disappeared from the car right after the accident. Ever since then, the two had been getting closer and even though they still fought a lot, everyone could see that they were best friends.
"So what are you doing tonight Benson?" Sam asked after a few seconds.
"Nothing really." Freddie replied as he put the top piece of bread on the sandwich and then cut it in half, putting it on a plate and then giving it to Sam. Sam smiled and took it as he started to clean up.
"Well, why don't you and I go to the movies?" Sam asked.
"I'd love to, but I kind of just need some time alone. I mean, I've had a lot of people around me lately. But I promise tomorrow night." Freddie replied and Sam smiled.
"Okay. Well, until then, I have dibs on the TV." Sam said and Freddie chuckled as she took a bite of her sandwich. She then walked over to the couch and sat down. She then looked back at Freddie and saw a small smile on his face which made her smile. He hadn't smiled in a while, well, not really smiled anyway. It was always fake when he was trying to be polite but really wanted to be left alone. Sighing, Sam bit into her sandwich and then turned back to the TV. One day, the old Freddie would be fully back and Sam could tell that that day would be close.
For the rest of the day, after Carly had come home from her date with a sad look and with butter in her hair, Sam, Carly and Freddie sat on the couch and watched TV, none of them really wanting to do anything. Freddie was glad that Carly didn't ask him how he was which she usually did whenever she saw him. Either she knew it annoyed him or she could sense his good mood and didn't want to ruin it. Either way, he was thankful for her leaving him alone.
When 9pm came around, Freddie sighed and then groaned as he stood up.
"I'm going to go for a walk. I'll catch you guys later." Freddie said as he made his way to the door.
"Do you want some company?" Carly asked.
"Nah. I'll speak to you guys in the morning." Freddie replied. Sam and Carly nodded and watched as he left.
"Do you think he's really alright to be alone?" Carly asked.
"He needs some space. It's been 5 months since the car crash and he hasn't had one moment alone. His mum won't even leave him alone." Sam said and Carly sighed. She knew Sam was right. He needed space and that was that. But what if he needed just one person there with him? What if he really wasn't okay?
Several minutes later and down in the streets, Freddie was walking, barely paying attention to where he was going. The one thing he was trying not to think about kept coming to his mind and soon he had to stop and lean against a wall as the memory flooded his thoughts.
(Flashback)
"Do you really have to go so soon?" Freddie asked his aunt as he hugged her.
"Yes baby. But don't worry. We'll call you as soon as you get home." She said. Freddie nodded and then after a brief hug with his dad, Freddie stepped back and stood next to Sam who had gotten to know Freddie's aunt pretty well.
"Well, have a good trip." Freddie said as they got in the car.
"Will do kid. Don't worry. We'll be back to visit soon." His dad said and Freddie smiled. His dad and aunt then drove away and Sam and Freddie waved goodbye.
"Alright. Let's go and get smoothies or something." Sam said, turning around and beginning to walk away. Just as Freddie was about to turn around however, a semi-truck veered onto his dad's side of the road and slammed right into the front of his car with a great force. A loud scream filled the air and loud banging sounds filled the air. Freddie's world froze for a moment before he went to take off towards the car only to have Sam hold him back.
"Freddie, you'll only hurt yourself." Sam said.
"That's my family." Freddie yelled, turning to face her. Sam just looked out at him and he took one more look at the car before breaking down into tears. Sam wrapped her arms around him as he started to lose his balance, Spencer and Lewbert running outside, shocked at what they found.
(End of Flashback)
Freddie took a deep breath, willing the memory from his brain as another one filled his head.
(Flashback)
Freddie was standing with Sam, Carly, Marisa and Spencer and he was still crying, everyone else as well, when an officer came up to them.
"Sir, are you sure that there was 2 people in the car?" The woman asked.
"Yes. I saw them both get in." Sam said.
"What kind of question is that?" Freddie asked, anger in his voice at the stupid question.
"If there was 2 bodies that means we have a missing body." The officer said and everyone stared at her in shock.
"What?" Marisa asked.
"Your aunt is missing." The officer said, staring directly at Freddie and he stared in shock. How could this be happening?
(End of Flashback)
Taking a long, deep and shaky breath, Freddie managed to push the thoughts of that night out of his head and he stood up properly, beginning to walk again. He then started to think about the next ICarly that they had been planning. He soon forgot all about the accident and was focusing on whether or not they really should do Messin' With Lewbert, not sure if they should hold off until the week after.
After a good 20 minutes of walking, Freddie decided he wanted to go back, but that's when he had a weird feeling as if he was being watched. He didn't know where the feeling had come from, but it was starting to freak him out. He quickened his pace and was almost at the street of Bushwell Plaza when a creepy old man stopped him by grabbing his arm and slamming him into the wall.
"What the-." Freddie went to ask, but the man punched him in the face. The man took advantage of Freddie's shock and attacked him. The second Freddie started to fight back however, the man pulled out a knife and threw it at Freddie, hitting him straight in the stomach. The man smugly smiled and went to take Freddie's wallet when a hand grabbed his shoulder and forced him to turn around.
"How dare you mess with my nephew." A woman growled and one of the 2 men that was with her twisted the old man neck, snapping it. The man fell to the floor and the three adults stared at him until they heard the clattering of metal on the ground. The woman and 2 men looked towards Freddie to see him fall to his knees, his hand over his stomach which was badly bleeding. The three adults ran over to him as he fell to the ground and one of the men, the one that had snapped the neck, turned him onto his back, the blood quickly staining his shirt.
"C-Cassie?" Freddie asked when he looked up to see his aunt.
"Hey baby. You're going to be alright." Cassie said as tears ran down her face, but Freddie just made his hands into fists as pain radiated through his body.
"We have to get him back to the cabin." The neck snapper said.
"He won't make it there Pete. He'll die by the time we get there." Cassie replied.
"We can't turn him in the middle of the street. What if we get caught?" Pete asked.
"We don't have a choice. I can't lose Freddie too and his mother can't either." Cassie said, tears pouring now. The second man was staring at Freddie and, after a deep log breath and look at him, he leant forward and over the boy.
"This might hurt kid." He said and Freddie saw the man's eyes go bright red just as the world turned to black.
