(Freddie's POV)

I stare at my apartment door blankly. I grab the door knob and twist the door open. My place was filled with noise as all my friends and family shout with glee surprise. I began to laugh with joy, this surly had taken my eyes off the decision that I wander within my mind. I walk in and shut the door while people give me hugs and saying happy 18th birth day Freddie. Even Sam and Carly had given me a hug but Sam's seemed more passionate. We released from our tangle.

The party was still going on. The guests were giving speeches about me with advice for life.

Even Sam had said something. She said "never give up Freddie. I know you are strong, you've dealt with me the last 5 years". The crowd snickered as did I.

I stood in the back and watched. While everyone gave their speeches for me. When everyone was done my mother went up there to end the party but I walked to the center of the room and said "I would like to say something" she walked away and I began to speak.

"I thank you all for what you said earlier but I've been think lately and I don't want my life to be a one track course. I want it to have adventure. So that's why I have enlisted in the Marine Corps and I get shipped to boot camp in 2 days."

The room was silent. No one could believe what I just said. My mother was the first to speak she said ""Fredward Benson you are not doing no such thing"

I stared at her began to it's my life and then Sam walked through the front door with Carly chasing her down. I walked through the crowd while my mother tried to get me back. She pulled at my arm. I jerked away "I'm not the same anymore" I yelled and I left for Sam.

Carly's door was wide open so I went inside to find Sam. I walked along the stairway to Carly's bedroom. I reached it, her door was cracked slightly and I stood there listening.

Carls" I don't want him to go"

"I know, I don't want him either but he made up his mind"

"What if we never see him again?"

"Don't say that Sam he will come back" Carly said beginning to cry.

"I love him Carly"

I stood there shocked at Sam had just said. Did she say she loved me I thought? I was going to reach and open the door but I turned and walked away instead. I walked out of the shay's apartment, down the stairs and into the drafty streets of Seattle. I walked to think.

A/N new story. I wanted to write this because I'm going to a marine eventually. So please review and tell what you think.
