Chapter 1:
Bye Carly, Hello Daddy.
Carly is now packing her stuff and getting ready for she only have a few hours to spend with her best friends, and her brother, Spencer. Pretty sad, but still, it's her father, Col. Shay asking her to go to Italy with him to bond, and be more closer to each other. Sam could easily hold back to her best friend from going but she's not that self-fish enough to do that. She loves Carly and she only wants the best for her, even if it means not seeing her for a long time. Since she knows that being alone with Carly in her room will make her break down and cry, she decided to wait for her friend downstairs of the Shay's apartment. It's sure a sudden turn of events for them, but who cares? At least one of them is going to Italy. Instead of sulking at one side, she grabbed a Peppy Cola from the fridge and plopped herself in the counter waiting for Fredwart and Carly. She thought of her future if Carly didn't appear in her life to argue with a sandwich. She sure will be an infamous delinquent in Seattle, and always be present in juvy rather than in school. Realizing that her two friends are taking so long she got up and checked on them upstairs.
"Hey guys, I'll just check on Carly and Benson upstairs." Sam informed the men that was with her on the living room and rushed to check on Fredweird first because, well because that's it!
Well, it's because she still wants Benson. Yeah, that's a fact, but she couldn't because there are barriers between them and she couldn't afford to make a riot only because Freddie and she are together. At least she got to date her long time crush and kiss him, and make out with him, and- well she's not sure if she did the right thing of giving her v-card to him. She gave him her v-card where they got their first kiss. Yeah, she gave it to him because even thought she bullied him for the past years since she knew him, he still treated her like a princess when they were together. But she still believes she'll figure how to move on, even thought it still hurts like hell.
After walking in the little hallway of the attic, Sam turned left to go to the iCarly studio, where Freddie is. She planned a fast prank to scare Fredward. She tiptoed to the remaining steps going to the studio and peeked to the transparent door and saw that Carly and Freddie are having a conversation. Sam noticed that the two didn't notice her. Good. Two birds in one stone. Well, better go and see when to go in. Sam thought. She looked at them and observes when to go in and initiate her plan when she saw something that shocked her, big time.
Carly is getting closer to Freddie and they kissed. Sam saw Freddie's hands in Carly's waist. Well, what boy doesn't put his hands in a girl's waist when he doesn't like her? Freddie still likes Carly after all. Sam smiled bitterly. She hurriedly wiped her tears away and went downstairs to her former seat and looked down.
She was so stupid to love him. She was really stupid. Sam tried to fight back the tears that are teasing to flow out of her eyes. She succeeded just in time when Carly and Freddie are making their way. Are they together, now? Sam asked herself. While Spencer, Gibby, and Freddie bid their goodbyes and hugged Carly, when it was Freddie's turn to hug Carly, Sam gazed at them, and think that they would make a perfect couple together. Just the mere sight of her two friends makes Sam want to cry. Not because one of them will be gone for a long time, but because her two friends are like made for each other, the sweet girl and the mama's boy. Yeah, sure they are.
When Carly looked at her, she realized it was her time to say her piece. But instead of saying something sweet and touching to Carly, she started a group hug, and stayed with Carly elevator. She and Carly stared at each other for awhile and she gave her blue remote to Carly. And then she said her piece. They stared at each other again, and Carly gestured her for a hug, and Sam accepted it and embraced her best friend closely, she bit back a sob and whispered 'thanks for everything' to Carly. They hugged a bit more and Sam thought that this is the last time that she's going to see all of them. But she will surely miss them, even though Carly will be off to Italy in a few minutes from now. She will still be back, and who knows? Maybe her best friend and her former boyfriend will be together once they see each other again because of the kiss they shared earlier. When they heard the elevator 'ding!' they still hugged each other, and was broken by Lewbert shouting at them.
"Shut up!" Sam howled at Lewbert that made the man scream and run off. She and Carly laughed and hugged again. "I'm gonna miss you, Carls." Sam said with tears welling up her eyes. Today's events were too much for her to take even though she was a toughie.
"Me too, Sam, me too. We'll keep in touch, right?" Carly asked her while sniffing in her handkerchief. Sam doesn't want to lie to her best friend but it's for the best. Her heart will require a long time in order for it to heal. Bye Carly, I'm gonna miss you very, very much. "Yeah, of course. It'll be just like you never left Seattle," Sam assured her friend while having a bitter, empty smile plastered on her face.
"Carly? We have to go now," the girls turned back to see Col. Shay motioning for her daughter that it's time to go. It's pretty weird how Col. Shay didn't forbid her daughter to hang out with her, despite of her background, Col, Shay still sees her as normal, and treats her nicely everytime his kids are having a video chat session with him. Sam smiled. Why, Col. Shay was like a father to her!
"Well, I guess this is good-bye." Sam stated.
"Yeah, I guess so. Bye Sam, till next time." They both hugged for the last time, and they felt like they don't want to let go. Col. Shay saw how the girls are very close but if he won't stop them, he and Carly would miss their flight. He walk towards them and broke their hug. He turned to her daughter's best friend and smiled at her, thanking her for being there for her daughter always. Sam maybe look tough and bully other people, but it was just her protecting herself, though sometimes she was really being mean, escpecially to their other friend. What was his name again? Oh Freddie. "Don't fret guys. You'll be video chatting every day. It will feel like Carly is still in Seattle. I'm just going to take my baby girl and take some time to bond with her."
"It's been nice meeting you, Col. Shay. Just be sure that we're still gonna see Carly back in one piece, 'aight?" Sam looked at her best friend's dad, the look that even Col. Shay was beginning to feel uncomfortable within her presence.
"Of course, Sam, everything will be fine. "
"All right, bye Carls. See you later." Sam waved at them like she's still going to see Carly the next day at their apartment. Carly was shocked and guessed that Sam hated good-byes since her father left her, and having someone leave you for no applicable reasons can affect you throughout your life.
Carly smiled, "Yeah, Sam. I'll see you later."
Sam watched Carly and her dad drove off until their view was nowhere to be seen. Now, what should she do? She was thinking of going to the Groovie Smoothie when her phone rang from her pocket.
"Hello?"
"Sam, dinner's ready. Where are you?" Oh, it's just mom, Sam thought. Ever since her mom and she attended therapy daily, their relationship has gotten better. They don't bicker always and Sam realized that they have common interests too. Just like fat cakes. She didn't know her mom like them too.
"Oh, I'll be there in a sec." Sam replied to her mother. Something weird is in her voice. Did she have a new boyfriend? Did her mom and Larry split up already? Hell, it has just been a week!
"Well, Sam, I- no actually, we have a surprise for you. Melanie had just gotten home since her graduation has finished. You're the only one who's missing here," her mom informed her.
They're almost a family: her mom, and the two of them Melanie and her. The only missing was their father who left them at an early age. Ughh what a jerk.
Sam sat on her new motorcycle that Spencer just gave her and drove off. Well, one thing made her a little bit happy today, she have her very own vehicle. It was just like a graduation present to her.
A few minutes of silent driving to their home, and Sam finally got out her motorcycle. She walk towards their door and listened at the chattering voices inside. Seems like everybody is in a good mood today. Sam opened the door and smelled the pleasant aroma of chicken wafting across the room. She went to the living room where she heard the voices earlier and when everybody noticed her presence, she saw her twin, Melanie beaming at her and came running to hug her. She hugged her twin back and mumbled 'Good evening' to everybody.
"Well, who do we have here?" The guy, supposedly her mom's age smiled at her. She noticed that he also have those crystal, blue eyes just like her and Melanie.
"Well, Jansen, this is Melanie's twin, Samantha," Sam cringed when she heard her mother say her full name. Not that she don't like her name, but it was just too girly for her opinion.
Sam arched an eyebrow to her mom, questioning who the hell this guy is standing in their house. Her mom seemed to read her signal and paced towards her. "Sam you remember your father who left us?" Her mom asked her. Why the sudden question? Is she going to marry this guy they don't even know?
"Are you going to marry this Jansen guy, mom?" She asked directly to her mom. She don't like thrill running in her bones, because the last time it did, it broke her heart. Gosh, why remember Fredward at this inexplicable time? She looked at her twin sister who smiled more widely and that creep her a bit, if it wasn't for that they look the same, she would slap her twin right now.
"Well say something you guys!" She cried. She was dying of curiosity right now.
Pam Puckett, looked at her other daughter who smiled just like there's no tomorrow and nodded. Melanie walked towards Sam and held her twin's hands.
"Sam, didn't you notice the face of that guy?" Sam just looked at her sister like she was not understanding anything. Oh for Pete's sake! She really doesn't know what's happening!
"Sammy, that's our father. Remember when mom used to sleep talk and keeps repeating the name 'Jan-Jan'? Well, that's him right there."
Sam looked up to the man, and smacked her new-found 'Daddy' in the stomach. "Hi, Dad. Long time no see, eh?"
The man grunted and reached for his stomach and smiled again to see her daughter just like their mother when she was young. He hugged Sam even though she just punched him real hard in the stomach. "Yes, princess. This is Daddy."
Will this day be even crazier?! Sam shrieked in her mind.
