Author's note:
Hey guys! This is my third story so far. This is whole story is actually a songfic inspired by two songs, The Last Train Home by The Lost Prophets and Hero-Heroine by Boys Like Girls. BUT, I am not cutting and pasting lyrics onto the story, this is just BASED on the MEANING of the songs. I wanted to make this story a oneshot but I thought it would be more fun to make a multi chapter story instead. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own iCarly or the two songs that I mentioned earlier. EARGH!!
"That's it! I've had enough of this! I'm so over girls," Freddie Benson announced as he stormed into the Shay's apartment.
"What's wrong Freddie?" Carly questioned him.
"Yeah, Freddo, I thought marrying Carly was part of your 'master plan'?" Sam asked, using air quotes as she said master plan. Carly couldn't help but to let out a chuckle.
"Well, it was. But not anymore." Freddie said as he plopped onto a couch.
"Tell us what happened Freddie." Carly prompted.
Freddie heaved a sigh and started his story, "My mom was giving me my weekly tick bath-".
"Oh yeah real interesting Freddie, tell us about your crazy mom and her weird antics." Sam interrupted before he could even finish his first sentence.
"Let me finish Sam!" Freddie said exasperated. "My mom was giving me my weekly tick bath and she started talking about Carly and how great it would be if Carly were to be my girlfriend. At first I kinda agreed, but then it struck me." Freddie continued.
Carly rolled her eyes when he talking about her being his girlfriend. 'In your dreams, Freddie' Carly thought.
"You mean you got struck by lightning?" Sam said excitedly, as if she really did want Freddie to have been struck by lightning.
Freddie pushed out a fake laugh and stopped soon after. "No Sam I did not. Sorry to disappoint you there. I had an epiphany-"
"Epi- what?" Carly and Sam said in unison, confused. "We don't have time to listen to your dorkanese, Dork Vader!" Sam continued, clearly frustrated.
"Epiphany is English FYI, it means, to have a sudden realization." Freddie said.
"Okay, human dictionary, just continue your story already." Carly almost screamed.
"Alright! I realized that I was just wasting my time, Carly never noticed me, and so I decided to give up chasing her around like a puppy." Freddie said, a little embarrassed.
"It's about time!" Carly said in relief and flung her hands up.
"Yeah, finally! Who are you planning to chase now dweeb?" Sam teased.
"Actually no one. I have decided on this too. I, Freddie Benson, will never fall in love again." Freddie said triumphantly.
"What? No, seriously." Sam was utterly confused.
"I said it, I never want to fall in love again. There's no reason to. All that will happen to me is: I will be used, again and my heart will be broken, again" Freddie pointed out.
Carly sighed, "Look, Freddie, just because Valerie used you to make her webshow better than iCarly, doesn't mean it will happen again. I know your heart was broken but there's no reason to never love again." Carly lectured Freddie with the best of her ability.
"Yeah you're right, I won't be used again. That's because I'm not falling for anyone anymore." Freddie continued arguing.
"Sam? Why are you all quiet? You would have made fun of Freddie like a thousand times by now." Carly said, noticing Sam quiet, deep in thought, with a tinge of disappointment in her face.
"What? Oh, I was just thinking, who would want Freddie's love anyway? He'll just act like his loony mom." Sam said finally, gaining back her composure.
"I expected you to say that." Freddie said, unhurt.
"Are you sure you'll be alright?" Carly was concerned about Freddie, but it seemed that he did din't want to talk.
"I'll be fine, you know what? I think i gotta go now, my mom's gonna start looking around for me soon." Freddie chuckled and went out of the Shay's apartment.
"Well what was that all about?" Carly asked herself and heaved a big sigh.
How was that? I don't know. Tell me!
