iShow Off My Talent

Sam's POV

I can't believe Carly is making me listen to this. I think to myself. I'm not the one who made her join the stupid talent show. I was sitting on the purple bean bag in the iCarly studio with Freddie and

Carly, but this time we weren't rehearsing for the web show. There was a talent show tomorrow and Carly decided to sing while Freddie handled the music. So, what was I doing here? Got bored, was hungry, and well…..TADA! Now I am stuck listening to You Belong With Me by, Taylor Swift for the millionth time this week. I've listened to Carly rehearse it so many times that I sadly knew all the words by heart.

Finally, the song came to an end. "How was that?" Carly asked. "Was I too pitchy?" "Carls you did great." I replied. God she's always paranoid about singing terrible. She smiled looking relieved and thanked me. "No prob. Now can we please go do something fun? Mama is bored!" Freddie took the bean bag next to me. "It's too late to vandalize cars Princess Puckett", he said. I gave him my evil glare

"Watch it Freddifer I'm actually being nice to you today.

Which was true. Normally I would've hit him or push the nub to ground but today I just didn't feel like it. It was true that I had feelings for him for a while now but that has never stopped me from making some part of his day terrible. Maybe these feelings were actually starting to take over. Hopefully he doesn't notice.

He smirked at me and chuckled. "I thought there was something different about you that I liked today." Then he gave me that famous Freddie Benson smile that makes me melt.

Freddie's POV

I saw that Sam blushed a little when she smiled back at me but I pretended not to notice. If I called it out, she would've pummeled me and there goes the niceness. But it did feel a little weird with her not torturing me at all today.I'm so used to it and that's what made her the Sam that I loved. Wait…did I just used the word love? I mean I guess I do. I got over Carly and even though Sam liked to torment me, I couldn't help but fall for her ocean blue eyes. I loved everything about her. Her blonde hair, her blue eyes, her spunky attitude, and the way she didn't let anyone mess with her. She was my blonde haired little demon and I loved her. Even if she had no idea about how I felt.

"OK why don't we go to Groovy Smoothie?" Carly said, breaking through my thoughts. "T-bo made a new smoothie that I've been wanting to try."

"Yeah! Mama loves the smoothies!" Sam said doing a little dance as she got up from her bean bag.

"Well let's get going then ladies" I said getting up to hold the door for my two best friends.

20 minutes later

I and Carly were sitting, drinking our smoothies waiting for Sam to get out of the washroom. I could tell that Carly was nervous because she was on her third smoothie already.

"You're going to be fine tomorrow. Don't worry" I said trying to calm her down.

"Yeah you're right. Can you get Sam? I want to get home and relax for the show." She got up from her seat.

"Sure. We'll meet you outside"

I was just about to knock on the girl's bathroom door when I heard something that made my eyes widen and brought butterflies to my stomach. Sam was singing. I caught her singing the ending of the song Breathe (2am) by Anna Nalick.

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to

And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.

And breathe, just breathe
Woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.

Her singing came to an end. Oh…my…God! I couldn't believe it! I never knew she had a great voice. She sounded even better than Carly. This was racking my brain. Sam never sang before. The only time when she did sing was to sing Happy Birthday. I was still in my state of shock when Sam came out of the bathroom. We both jumped back.

"What are you doing outside the bathroom Fredwierd?" She said collecting herself.

"I…um…C…Carly is um outside for us. She…she's ready to…um leave." I stammered. Man I'm such an idiot.

"Ok then let's go." She said. "And lay off the smoothies they're making you jumpy"

She doesn't even know that I heard her. I realized.

Sam's POV

Oh crap! Please tell me that Freddie didn't her me sing! I thought. I never wanted anyone to know that I could sing, not even Carly. Oh man this is bad. Now he's probably going to tell Carly, Spencer, Gibby, and everyone else. He might as well announce it on iCarly and let the whole freakin' world know! I've always been shy about my singing so I decided to keep it to myself. If everyone knew, I don't know how I would be able to show myself the way I used to.

But then again, maybe he didn't hear me. He could've just got to the bathrooms right after I finished singing. I'm sure that's it. At least I hope that's it. I'll have to find out later…But how?

"Sam are you alright?" Carly interrupted my thoughts.

"Yeah just getting a little tired. That's all."

"Well you better go to sleep when you get home then" She advised.

I rolled my eyes "Yes mother."

We both giggled at the comment.

We were walking home from the Groovy Smoothie. It would've been a shorter walk but Carly insisted on her and Freddie walking my home. She would've let me spend the night at her place but I guess she just wants the extra rest for tomorrow.

Freddie then spoke up. "Carly, you need some rest. Why don't you go on home? I'll walk Sam the rest of the way." My head shot up at him in surprise but I didn't say anything. Great. Just what I need, alone time with Benson.

"Are you sure you both will be fine?" I could tell she was surprised too.

He nodded. "Yeah don't worry. Just get some sleep for your big debut."

"Alright. I'll see you guys tomorrow then. Don't kill each other!"

We watched her walk down the block to the Bushwell Plaza. Once she was out our sight, we started walking again. It was silent for a while. Then I my nerves got the best of me.

"You heard me singing didn't you?"

Freddie POV

Her question took me by surprise. She kept her down waiting for me to answer. I took a deep breath.

"Yea I did."

"Great" The sarcasm in her voice was clear.

"How come you never told anyone? I thought you sounded great."

I looked at her. She gave a small smile to herself and blushed. God she's beautiful. I caught myself thinking.

"Thanks I guess" Her head was still down looking at her shoes. "I never wanted anyone to know about my talent for singing. Whenever I think about it, I get nervous and shaky."

Her vulnerability amazed me. For as long as I've known Sam, she has never been shy, scared, or nervous about anything.

"But what about iCarly? You do the show every week and you're never shy about it"

She shook her head. "That's different. On iCarly it crazy, funny, and random. But when I'm singing, I show my true emotions and feelings. My hearts opens up completely. And I never like showing my emotions like that. You know that."

I was at a loss for words. Here was a girl who saved her best friend from a window washer's platform, wrestled the biggest senior in our school (in a dress and heels I might add), and even jumped out of plane when we went to Japan. I never thought she would be scared of anything.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even realize that we were at her house.

"Well thanks Benson for walking me home." She was now facing me instead of staring at her shoes.

"No problem and thanks for trusting me enough to tell me all that. And you could always feel comfortable to sing in front of me. "

"Maybe I'll take you up on that offer"

And there was that beautiful smile again. I had to try my hardest from grabbing her and putting our lips together. So I decided to do the next best thing. I pulled her into a hug. At first she didn't do anything but then she wrapped her arms around me hugging me back. After a few seconds, which seemed much longer, we let go of each other.

"Well I'll see you and Carly at the talent show tomorrow. Oh and one more thing. Cut back on the smoothies. They're starting to make you a bigger nub than you already are" The she ran into her house.

I smiled and sighed to myself. That's my Sam. I thought to myself as I made my way home to get some sleep for the show tomorrow.
