Hey readers! This is in fact my first story, but don't let that discourage you from reading it! The characters may be Carly and Freddie, but is a Seddie story but not till later chapters. I've had this idea in my head for awhile and FINALLY got to posting...so enjoy!
Freddie walked with a skip in his step and a smile on his face. Carly had finally agreed to be his girlfriend! As a matter of fact, he was going to visit said 'Girlfriend'. He opened the door to see her sitting on the couch.
"Hey you," he greeted.
"Hey!" She ran up and hugged him. When they pulled apart, their faces were inches away and they slowly and dramatically leaned in.
"Hey Carls I- AHH!" Sam had walked in. They pulled apart and screamed along with her.
"What's with all the screaming? AHH!" Spencer came out of his room and saw Carly and Freddie with their arms around each other.
"WHY ARE WE ALL SCREAMING?" Carly yelled. They finally pulled apart.
"Well...you...you can't...this can't happen..." Spencer stuttered.
"Why not?" Carly was starting to get mad, "Sam, you're good at convincing people. Tell him this is okay." Sam had her mouth open in shock and Carly could swear she saw a tear or two in her eyes.
"I-What happened? H-how did this happen?" said the unusually quiet Sam.
"I-I don't know...I just said yes and it sorta...happened." Sam finally closed her mouth and looked at the floor, for once, at a loss for words. Carly looked at her weird, and was about to say something when Mrs. Benson burst through the door.
"I heard screaming. FreddieBear, are you okay?" she asked frantically.
"CARLY AND FREDDIE ARE DATING!" Spencer shouted.
"Spencer!" Carly yelled.
"WHAT? No you are not! I won't have it!"
"But Mom-"
"She's right, this can't happen," Spencer added.
"Spencer, you're NOT helping!" Then the room was filled with shouts and slight cursing.
There was a gentle knock on the door. Almost too soft to hear. They all stopped yelling and heard the small knock again. Spencer went to open the door.
"Sergeant Finnagin," he said, a little shocked, "What brings you here? Is dad okay?" St. Finnigan looked at him sadly.
"Can we all sit down? I have some news."
"Yeah, sure. Come in." As he walked into the apartment, he spotted Mrs. Benson.
"Oh my gosh, Marissa? Is that you? It's been years. Oh, and is this little Freddie? You're so grown up." But even as he said this, he looked sad. As they all sat down in the living room, Freddie spoke up.
"Um, not to be rude, but how do you know my mom? Or me for that matter?" Mrs. Benson looked really nervous.
"Well I've known Marissa Shay since her husband and I were just starting out in the academy. I've seen Carly and Spencer but I haven't seen you two in, what's it been? Fourteen years!" Everyone looked shocked.
"Marissa WHAT?" Carly yelled. But Mrs. Benson intervened.
"Hush up, Sassy pants! Mr. Finnagin came here with important news. Go ahead, David."
"Right," he cleared his throat, "I've come with some bad-horrible-sad….news." He paused to look at everybody's face. He saw a mixture of anticipation and shock. Then he continued.
"I'm very sorry to inform you all that William Fredrick Shay has been….killed in battle." The whole room was one big gasp. Carly buried her face in Spencer's shoulder and broke down in frantic sobs. Sam and Freddie looked at each other in shock. Spencer just stared at Mrs. Benson, his jaw dropped. Sam and Freddie went on either side of their best friend and tried to calm her down as soon as Spencer stood up and started pacing back and forth.
"There's….more…." Mr. Finnagin said cautiously. Everyone looked up at him. He took a deep breath.
"As you know, when Spencer was old enough, you made an agreement that he would watch over Carly. Well….the signed agreement was only when William could check up on you. I'm sorry but….Carly can't live with you anymore." Carly jumped up.
"What! There must be some mistake. Check it again!"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Shay but it was a Federal agreement. You'll be taken to a foster home tonight." Carly ran over to Spencer and held onto him.
"This isn't fair! ….Well….if I can't live with my brother, can't I live with someone else? I have other family. I could live with my granddad in Yakima….o-or my aunt and uncle. I CAN'T go to a foster home!" Spencer, Sam, and Freddie all stood around her, as if to shield her. Mrs. Benson just stared off into space.
"I'm sorry, Carly. But we need to go." Just then, two big guys came downstairs with her suitcases.
"Let's go." When he walked toward her, she held onto the back of Spencer's shirt. Mr. Finnagin sighed. The other two men walked over and pried Carly away from them. She started screaming and clawing her way out their grip. Sam and Freddie were also yelling at them. Sam even tried to do the Vulcan squeezy thing on one of them. When they got her just outside the door, Spencer looked at Mrs. Benson with pleading eyes. She faltered on the edge of speech. Then, after she lost the argument with herself, she jumped up.
"Wait!" They all turned to look at her.
"Let Carly stay," she said while looking at the floor.
"Marissa….you know she can't stay with you."
"Yes….she can. Because I'm her mother." Everyone gasped again.
