INFAMOUS

Prologue: A Mutual Break Up


Sam Puckett and Freddie Benson. What a pair.

"Mr and Mrs Benson," Carly often joked.

They were always outwardly offended but internally they didn't deny that it suited them.

Sure they fought to no end. And they were certainly unlike any other 'lovey dovey' couples who dated each other. But in their own special ways, the two of them were definitely a good match for one another. Of course, they drove their best friend, Carly Shay, up the wall with their arguing.

On a particularly hot and sunny afternoon, Freddie and Sam were sitting in the Groovy Smoothie. It was the last day of their summer vacation. Following that, they'd be going off to college, and such. The two of them were drinking their smoothies quietly.

"I think we should-" Freddie begins to say.

"Break up? You read my mind." Sam finishes, for him.

"Yeah. I mean, if you think it's a good-"

"Idea? Yes, I actually do. Friends?"

"Friends."

They both stand up, and hug each other, tightly. Both of them didn't want to let go, but knew they had to, eventually. After pulling away from it, Freddie looked at Sam and Sam looked at Freddie.

"One last kiss?" They question, simultaneously.

There's an awkward laughing moment.

Freddie pulls Sam over to him, and they both lean in toward one another. When their lips met together, her hands wrap around the back of his neck, and his arms wind around her. It's so obvious that they weren't meant to be breaking up. Neither of them really wanted to. In fact, both of them still had strong, emotional feelings toward the other.

So why did they?

The answer wasn't complicated. In fact, it was really simple. Sam was going to acting school, to further her acting skills and Freddie was going to college, to further his knowledge as a director. They discussed this, over and over, and eventually reached the sad conclusion that they had to end their relationship.

Little did they know, their paths, would some day… cross over each other and intertwine once more.

It was just a matter of time.
