Freddie sighed as they walked down the street, Sam, Carly, and him. They were heading out to film shots of Seattle for a bit on iCarly. Examining his camera to make sure there were no technical difficulties when they got to the small hill over looking one of Seattles parks he didn't hear the truck coming.
Sam was busy eating the piece of ham in her hand, trying to think of some way to insult Freddie when he hadn't really done anything to deserve it yet (at least in her eyes) and pretty much trying not to laugh at the bunny suit Carly was wearing for the skit they were about to. She stopped and bent down to pick up a quarter on the ground, needing all the money she could get, and was completely oblivious to the truck that was moving towards them. .
Carly fidgeted with the bunny suit she was currently wearing and tried to get regain a semi amount of comfort 'me and my big mouth' she thought as she squirmed, trying not to let the heat get to her "Why do I have to wear this stupid thing again?" she asked and groaned as Sam merely shrugged. Focusing on her suit she stepped out on the street, completely oblivious to her surroundings until an immense pain then.. Nothing.
In a moment neither Sam wouldn't forget, and she was sure Freddie wouldn't either, she heard a spine tingling scream from Freddie and looked up to make a joke about it until she saw why he was screaming, which only caused her to scream with him "Call for help!" she said, "I'll go get Spencer."
Running as fast as she could she finally reached Carly's apartment, gasping for breath, and opened the door to the apartment she knew so well after spending so much time here. She found Spencer at the fridge with a pizza and screamed his name, making him jump and pull out his gun they were using for Assasins and use the Pizza for a shield "Carly's hurt!" she screamed. Spencer hesitated for a moment but rolled his eyes "Nice try Sam, but I know you're just trying to get me out of the game."
Sam groaned and grabbed the Pizza, throwing it on the ground "CARLY IS HURT" she screamed and it finally dawned on him that maybe she was telling the truth "Let's go!" he said and she took his hand, leading him back to the site where Carly had been hit.
Meanwhile Freddie took Carly's hand and tried to encourage her to hang on "It'll be alright.." he said "You'll be fine" he mentally berated himself after each sentence, of course she wouldn't be okay! She'd been hit by a truck! "Oh god" he muttered as she spit up blood "Where's the damn ambulance?" he cried, not caring about his language at that moment "The Ambulance will be here any minute" he said trying not to sound like he was panicking, though his heart and mind were racing and at the moment he couldn't breath. "C'mon Carly.. Don't do this to me" he said "Don't you leave me before I have a chance to make you mine."
The words sounded selfish to him but again he didn't care, and as he spoke he saw a small smile on her face which made him grin even though tears were pouring down his face "I'm sorry Freddie" he heard which made him look at her face "I've always.. Liked you in a way and knew I should probably give you a chance" she whispered, unable to talk any louder.
Carly looked up at Freddie and tried to smile but it hurt, everything hurt., and she just wanted it to stop. She wanted to make him feel better so she said the only thing she could think of, though she wondered if maybe her words were partly true, "Freddie" she continued, sounding slightly delirious "I-If.. When I recover" she began, struggling to form words "I'll let you take me out for a smoothie or something.. Just like you always wanted."
Freddie couldn't believe his ears, she would give him a chance? After all this time? Then he realized something, she was trying to make him feel better "No.. I want you to give me a chance because you really want to" he said, his voice hollow and defeated "I want you to give me a chance because I've earned it.. Not because you want me to stop crying" he sighed and kissed her temple "When I've earned that date then I'll be happy" he whispered softly.
Carly tried to roll her eyes, he was being as stubborn as usual, she tried to form words but a loud siren and Sam and Spencer. As she began to fade in and out of consciousness she felt herself lifted into the ambulance. Next there was a slamming sound, the doors must be closing, and she blacked out.
Freddie looked up at the paramedic as they put Carly in the ambulance and sighed "Will she be okay?" he asked, his concern obvious in his voice. The paramedic sighed and looked at Sam and Freddie "To be honest" he began, "It doesn't look good." Freddie's heart sank and Sam was speechless "What do you mean?" Freddie asked numbly. "She's bleeding internally and she may start bleeding into her brain, which wouldn't be good at all" Freddie nodded and felt his heart fall even more, if that was even possible. Freddie called his mom and asked her to drive them to the hospital, explaining that Carly was hurt, When he hung up he looked at Sam and nearly broke down crying at the sight of her "What're we going to do Freddie?" she asked quietly.
Freddie sighed "We're going to hope.. and we're going to pray" he said sighing again as his mother came "C'mon.. I got us a ride to the hospital" Sam nodded numbly and followed him, getting into the backseat and vaguely listening to Mrs. Benson worry about Freddie.
Marissa bit her lip, worrying about Freddie was her full time job anymore it seemed. She knew that he was a grown boy now and needed his space but to her he would always be her little boy. Now her little boy was hurting, it was obvious by the defeated look in his eye, the look which made her heart break for the boy every time she looked at it. Ten minutes later they pulled up to the hosptial and Freddie and Sam got out, Marissa told them she'd join them after she got a parking spot and they just kind of nodded at her as they entered the hospital.
When Carly opened her eyes there were two men in front of her, one dressed in an entirly white suit, the other dressed in an entirely white suit. "W-Who're you?" she asked. They both looked at her with a smug look "We are.. Everything" they said together "I am death, and he is life" the man in the white suit said, pointing to the black suited man when he said life. "But.. I don't understand, why are we here?" she asked "I was hit by.. I was hit by a truck" she said looked at them "A-Am I dead?" she asked, fear creeping into her voice, "I.. I don't want to die, I've got something to live for" she said.
The man in the white suit, death, shook his head "It is time.. We are the guardians of the next world, We decide when it is someones time." The man in black, Life, nodded "Normally" he said, his tone gentler than the other man's "I would be all for allowing people to Live.. But even I can see it is your time, follow him and suffer no more."
Carly nodded with tears in her eyes, she wasn't ready to leave Spencer, Sam.. Freddie, Oh god she'd never see him again.. She followed death past the large rusty gate and closed her eyes as she descended further into the next life.
The monitor, which had been beeping slowly to show she had a heart beat suddenly went flat and the alarms went off "we're losing her" the doctor cried as he got the paddles "Clear!" he said putting them to her heart and letting the electrical charge off in a attempt to revive her. Pulling off the paddles he looked at the screen and cursed "Dammit.. again" he said charging the paddles "Clear!" he said as again he attempted to restart her heart, to no avail. Finally he put the paddles down and sighed "Call it, I'll go talk to the family."
Freddie walked up to the nurses station and asked where Carly Shay was, after a fre moments of typing the nurse finally told them to go to the 5th floor and she would be in room 503. Freddie and Sam ran to the stairs, not being patient enough for the elevator to arrive and ran up all five flights of stairs. When they got to room 502 they saw Spencer standing outside the door, tears in his eyes as the doctor talked to him. When Freddie got closer he could finally hear the doctor, and he hated what he heard "I'm sorry, we did everything we could.. I have to call time of death."
Freddie and Sam froze, neither willing to accept what they'd just over heard, and burst into tears. Freddie slumped against the wall, tears pouring down his face, he didn't know what to feel. He was angry, hurt, scared, and full of hatred. Sam looked over at Freddie and said "why? Why her... It should've been me! Or You, not her.. She was the innocent one" Sam let out a strangled sob before walking away.
Her words replayed over and over in his mind until they were all he heard. Freddie nodded in agreement even though she was long gone, yes.. It should have been him, why wasn't it him? He deserved this.. Not her, Not his Carly. He mentally slapped himself, she wasn't his Carly, and she never would be. "I'm sorry Carly.." he trailed off, his only thought was that his last owrds to her had been that he hadn't earned her love.. He should have told her he loved her, but he didn't. And now it was too late.
Carly Shay, the love of his life, was dead.. and Freddie was all alone.
Note: So what did you think? I tried to capture how Freddie would feel if Carly died, and I hope I captured a bit of what Sam was feeling but I'll expand on that in the next chapter which will start the downward spiral of Freddie and Sam, but I'll only write the next chapter if people show a interest in this story. So please Read and Review!
