FIND MY WAY BACK

Sequel to: Lost in the Wind

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot and my own characters and of course, my own story line.

TWELVE YEARS LATER...

Freddie sat there with his face buried in his hands. He sighed as he looked around his apartment. It still had been the same one ever since he could remember. His mom died a few years back and it only added to his miserable life. He stood up from the computer and walked towards the couch, not bothering to look at the blood stain on his carpeted floor for he might broke down in tears once again. It had been exactly twelve years, twelve painful and wretched years since that day, that awful day when she disappeared.

Carly and Spencer moved out of their apartment when she entered college. She now lived three floors down, with Gibby. They decided to move in when they were in their second year of college. Freddie still talks to Gibby but Carly, on the other hand, still isn't recovering until now and Freddie had surprisingly gotten used to it.

Spencer got married with a girl named Giovanni. They live out of town, a few miles away from Seattle to start fresh. It was actually nice, a nice way to start a family. They lived in a house with bright colors, Spencer's design, and a white picket fence. It was simple yet attractive.

Freddie switched from channel to channel. Finally, he stopped flicking the remote as Full House was on. He stared blankly at the television. Freddie Benson wasn't the joyful and giddy guy that he used to be. He rarely goes out of his apartment and when he does, it's either go to work or meet out with clients. He doesn't hang much with friends for he doesn't fell like it. He changed when she left. He went lonely when she was gone. And lastly, he never stopped searching for her.

Fed up by the rerun, he swiftly turned off the television and headed towards the back room. Ever since that day, he didn't stop trying to find her. Every chance that he could get, he would track her down either by foot or through the internet. But to no avail, the internet has no search for a certain Samantha Puckett other than iCarly related stuff which he wouldn't open. He might remember the good old days that might lead him into sobs. He was depressed. He even flunked his first two years of college, not after Gibby told him to snap out of it. Surprisingly, Gibby, Carly and him entered the same College. It wasn't intentional, but maybe fate brought them together for a purpose.

He walked inside the college, taking in the smell of his new life. He looked around and wondered around to familiarize himself in his new surroundings. He looked at his schedule and scanned the halls for the specific room. As he turned in a corner, he bumped into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry man- Freddie?"

Freddie looked up and met Gibby's gaze. "Gib?"

"Hey dude!" He grinned as he proceeded to give him a manly hug. "What are you doing here in UW?"

"I enrolled here." Freddie smiled as they walked.

"No way," Gibby exclaimed in disbelief. "Us too!"

Freddie gave him a confused look. "Us? What do you mean by us?"

"Carly and I." He said. "We planned to go to school on Washington D.C but with the new life and all, we backed out and thought of just staying here in Seattle.

"Cool," Freddie smiled. "At least I know some people here. I was planning to go to Harvard but mom didn't like the idea of me away from her."

Gibby chuckled. "Ah, your mom never changes."

"Yeah," He chuckled lightly. "So, what did you and Carly get?"

"Law, we both got attached into movies with lawyers in the summer so we decided to become one." He explained.

He laughed. "Nice, Law is a good profession."

"What about you, bro?" Gibby asked as they kept on walking.

"HCDE."

"What's that?"

"It means Human Centered Design and Engineering. You know user interface and web designing." He said.

"Ah, you still are the techy dude that I know." He smiled.

"Yeah, still haven't changed."

"So, you found her yet?" Gibby asked out of the blue.

Freddie's smile dropped and averted his eyes straight ahead. "No, not yet but it's been months, Gib."

Gibby rested his hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, Freddie. You'll find her. I know you will."

He sighed and nodded. "I hope so."

Freddie stopped once he was in front of a door. "Well, this is my stop."

Gibby gave him a nod and smile. "See you around, bro."

Freddie waved at him as he entered the room.

Freddie shook his head as he didn't notice he had been staring at the coffee table for quite awhile now. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and took it out.

"Hello?" He answered.

Hey Freddie, it's Ian.

"Oh, hey man." He greeted his co-worker. "What's up?"

The Big Boss wants you here ASAP. Something about the web interface of TRON.

"Oh, okay. Tell him I'm coming." He said as he ended the call.

He rushed out of the apartment as he grabbed his coat and keys. He glanced back at the red blood stain and closed the door quickly. He took the elevator and descended onto the parking lot. Once he got there, he unlocked his gray Maserati Grancabrio and jumped in. With a twist of the keys, the car roared to life and Freddie was soon out of the lot, heading to work like every other day of his boring and uninteresting life.

And DONE! Chapter one of the sequel is FINISHED! :) Okay, as you all know, I told you guys there was a tie between BACK TO YOU and FIND MY WAY BACK. I tried to search BACK TO YOU if someone has already got it and sadly, it did. So I searched for the other one and GOOD NEWS! NO ONE IS USING IT! So, I figured this might be the best. THANK YOU TO THE ONE WHO SUGGESTED IT, MY TWINY, PolarPurple!
