iNeed You
Chapter 1;MidnightCrying in a Hallway
"And 5...4...3...2!" Freddie called from behind the camera. Tonight was another broadcast of the web show, iCarly. Carly and Sam stood in front of the camera, wearing swimsuits and sunglasses. Carly's bathing suit was pink with a white flower pattern, but she had a thin, white, see-through cover up over it that was untied. On her feet were matching pink flip-flops. Sam's suit was a navy blue one-piece with tropical green stars and swirls scattered around it. A matching green sash was tied around her waist. She had her usual converse sneakers on, which made Freddie smile. 'I guess that's just Sam'. He thought.
"Hellooo Earthlings!" Carly called.
"Bonjour! And Bon Ete!" Sam said in French, her favorite language solely based on the fact that she loved French cuisine.
"What she said was…" Carly began.
"HAPPY SUMMER!!" The two shouted into the camera.
"Today on iCarly, we're celebrating the fact the summer is officially here!" Carly stated happily. "Warm weather, beaches, swimming pools…"
"And most importantly, no school!" Sam added. "Ya can't get detention if you're not in school!"
"Note the appropriate inflatable palm trees and beach chairs." Carly said, sweeping her hands as if she were a showcase model on TV. The set was decorated with two palm trees, two chairs, and a table between the two chairs. On the table was a jar full of sand.
"Carly's brother, Spencer, even let us borrow his jar of sand from Mexico!" Sam told their 'audience'. "But sadly, this is not just a Happy Summer celebration, but a Bon Voyage party." She clicked the 'aww' button on her remote.
Freddie took this cue to step out from behind the camera and stand next to Sam. She gave him her usual disgusted look. He hoped she would save the insults until after the show, and not bring attention to his smooth legs. Freddie was also wearing swim trunks, but with a matching shirt. He had sunglasses perched on his head.
"That's right. Carly will be gone for three weeks vacationing with Spencer in California." He said.
"I still can't believe you're leaving me with this." Sam told Carly, motioning with her hands to Freddie. Freddie scowled and Carly just laughed.
"I think you'll live." Carly said to Sam, then turned to the camera. "But don't worry, we won't leave you iCarly-less for too long! Sam and Freddie will keep up the web casts while I'm gone, and I'm bringing a camera with me to document my fabulous vacation. I'll put the videos up here, on the iCarly website."
"Okay, dork, you're done here. Now get back behind the camera before you and your hair-less legs make more people hurl." Sam insulted. Freddie frowned again and stomped back to the camera so the show could go on as normal.

When the show ended the trio took the elevator down from the set and to the apartments main floor.
"I need a fruit kabob." Sam said and made a bee-line to the fridge, taking out a covered platter filled with her desired snack, and placing in onto the island in Carly's kitchen. "You guys want lemonade?" She called from the kitchen.
"Sure!" Freddie and Carly said simultaneously. Sam got the pitcher out of the fridge and three glasses from a cabinet. Carly and Freddie joined her in the kitchen and stationed themselves around the island. They each grabbed a fruit kabob.
"So what do you want to do next week on iCarly?" Freddie asked Sam, taking a chunk of cantaloupe off of the skewer and popping it into his mouth.
"I could shove a watermelon down your pants." Sam said rudely, putting another piece of fruit in her mouth. Carly covered her mouth to keep herself from laughing.
"I find that very offensive!" Freddie shouted at her.
"Never stopped me before." Sam replied half heartedly.
"I don't know how I'm going to survive these three weeks." Freddie muttered under his breath. Sam heard this and gave him a strange look, one he'd never seen on her before. He couldn't figure it out, because she turned her head away before he could. 'Why didn't she insult me?' Freddie wondered.
"Oh! Freddie, here's the spare key to the apartment, now that I'm thinking about it." Carly said, getting a key from a near-by drawer and handing it to Freddie.
"Why does he get the key?" Sam complained.
"Because you'd probably sneak in and live here while I'm gone." Carly said matter-of-factly.
"Yeah. I'm trustworthy." Freddie said with satisfaction.
"Yeah yeah. Just because that happened before, doesn't mean it'll happen again! Besides, the apartment was fine!" Sam defended herself.
"There was a live raccoon in the ducts!" Carly said. Sam opened her mouth to retort, but closed her mouth and went back to her fruit kabob. Freddie smiled at this. It was rare for anyone to win a fight with Sam.
"So, Freddo, when do you want to plan the next iCarly? I can come over tomorrow." Sam asked, picking up another kabob.
"Uh, sure. Tomorrows okay." Freddie said apprehensively. This was weird. Sam actually being civil toward him?
She must of sensed his confusion because she then said, "Good, 'cause I just want to get this over with so I don't have to do anything more than I have to with you." She smirked at Freddie's expression then turned back to her kabob.
Spencer jolted out from his room and strolled into the kitchen. He was wearing board shorts and a floral pattern top.
"Hey guys! Sorry to say it, but we need to pack, Carls." Spencer told her, carrying a brown leather suitcase with multiple colorful stickers. It was very Spencer.
"Sure Spence." Carly said, she turned back to her friends, "I guess I'll see you later tonight."
"Yeah." Sam replied sadly. The two friends exchanged a hug. When the parted, Freddie went in for a hug with Carly as well, but Sam grabbed him by his shirt collar and began to drag him away. "Come on, Geek-o."

"You sure you have to go to California?" Freddie pleaded, giving Sam a sideways glance. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to make it through the week.
"Yeah, I'm sure. Me and Spencer haven't gone anywhere out of Seattle in a while. It'll be nice to get away." Carly responded. Freddie looked slightly hurt until Sam nudged him with her elbow.
"We'll miss ya, Carls." Sam said. The three of them came together in a group hug and said their goodbyes. Spencer came down a moment after that and joined the hug. They all said goodbye once more, then Carly and Spencer were on their way.
"GRAAA!" Came a screech from behind them.
"Ahhh!!" Sam and Freddie screamed and turned around to be met by wart.
"OUT OF MY LOBBY!" Lewbert screamed. The friends exchanged a glance and hurried upstairs.
"He's so weird." Freddie said once they were away from the strange lobby man.
"You're tellin' me! The man threatened me with a ham sandwich once." Sam let out a laugh. She looked at a wall clock near by. "I'm going to go home before I miss my chance at eating dinner. See ya!"
Sam walked down to the lobby again, and Freddie heard another cry of detest. He smile to himself. He couldn't wait for tomorrow so he could see her again.
'Wait… What was that?' Freddie franticly thought. Before he could think about it anymore, he rushed into his apartment.

It was about 1 o'clock in the morning, and Freddie had just been awoken by a strange noise. He had never been a heavy sleeper, but even this time Freddie wasn't sure if was he heard was reality. He pulled back the covers and got himself out of bed.
He defiantly heard something. Someone was out in the hall! He walked to the door and managed to get a look through the peep hole. All he could make out was a mass of blonde hair from the darkness.
Freddie quickly unlocked the door and opened it slowly. Now he could hear the sound the blonde was making, it was no longer muffled. She was crying.
"Oh my gosh." Freddie whispered to himself. "Sam?"
Her head snapped up to reveal her face. The light coming from a near-by window caught on the tears in her blue eyes.
"Freddie, what are you doing?" Sam sniffled.
"What's wrong?" Freddie asked sincerely. It wasn't often that he saw Sam like this. In fact, he had never seen Sam like this.
"Nothing. Go away." She whispered, trying to punch him in the arm but missing. She let out another sob and buried her face in her hands. "Just go away." Freddie sat next to her and put her arm around her.
"No… shhh… it's okay. Everything will be alright."
And they sat there together, though most of the night, Freddie comforting the girl who never felt anything. Only she did feel something, Freddie just didn't know. But that was it. She sat in his arms, balling until sleep came. But even then they still sat there, sleeping in each others arms. Occasionally a loose tear would glide down Sam's cheek, but it didn't matter. And both of them may never admit it, but that sleep was the best one they'd ever had.

:3 woo-hoo! My first iCarly fic!
This is going to be a chapter story, so don't worry. ;) You'll find out next chapter why Sam is crying.
Don't be too harsh if I didn't get the feel of the show, yet. Once I write and watch more of it, I'll get it better.
