Chapter 1: iAm Worried About You
Sam & Freddie go up the elevator to Freddie's apartment. They were planning to break up at midnight because they still love each other and it was only 10:30pm. They enter Freddie's apartment. His mom isn't home, so she won't see anything Sam & Freddie are doing.
"Would you like anything to eat?" Freddie asked
"No thanks." replied Sam
"Since when are you ever not hungry? You haven't had anything since lunch. " said Freddie
"Just forget it." she replied
"Okay then. I'm going to heat myself some pasta. Are you sure you don't want any of that? I've got enough for 2 serves."
"Nah. You can have all of it. I don't care about food at the moment anyway." said Sam
"Well, I can't force you, but just to let you know, you're welcome to eat anything from my apartment."
"I really appreciate the offer, but I'd rather not thank you."
Sam sits on the couch. Freddie sits next to her. He leans towards her.
"Sam. Is there anything bothering you that you need to talk about? 'Cause if there is, you know you can always tell me. Don't be afraid to say what's on your mind. I still care about you and I can help you through any problems you have." Freddie said softly.
Tears start to trickle down her face. She walks away.
"Sam. Please don't walk away from me. Talk to me." He said
"No. I'm not letting you see me cry." She said being all teary
Freddie gets up and grabs her arms so that Sam would face him.
"It's okay. You can cry in front of me. It's so painful for me to see you like this, but I'm very worried about you, so you don't have to hide anything from me, okay?"
All of Freddie's sweet words made Sam want to tell him, but she wasn't sure if it was the right time to say it. She was going to tell him sooner or later though.
"I'll tell you another day, okay Freddie?" Sam said
"But the sooner you tell me, the sooner you will feel better about it." Freddie explained
"I'm not ready."
"I totally understand. Tell me whenever you're ready & I'll be right here for you."
"Thank you Freddie."
Sam cries into Freddie's chest & hugs. Freddie strokes her back.
"Do you mind if I leave now?" asked Sam
"Sure, but you can stay if you want to."
"No thanks. I've got to go to bed. Night Freddie."
"Night Sam."
Sam leaves. Freddie still feels upset that they broke up but he didn't want to make it obvious to her that he wasn't going to be her boyfriend anymore because he still wants to date Sam. He even wants to sleep with her. That's why he got a double bed. Freddie realizes it's up to Sam as well though and he respects her decision. He's not a pushy kind of person. He just wants her to be happy. Freddie has his pasta & goes to bed.
