Chapter 1

Today was a good day for the ICarly gang. Everybody was happy and they had good reasons to be. Freddy and Carly recently started dating. Sam had finally met a guy she liked. Also , after a while Mrs. Benson finally approved of Carly dating her son.

The best news of all came when they found out that iCarly was voted the number one web show on the internet.


(at the iCarly studio)

Everybody was relaxing after another episode of iCarly. They were all talking about different things like what they were going to do for the show next week or what they were going to do for the weekend.

Freddy said " what are we going to do next week?" Carly said " Shelby Marx is here in Seattle so we are trying to get her as a guest on the show." Then Sam said " it would be interesting to see Shelby again wont it Freddy?"

Freddy said " i don't know what you're talking about Sam." That is what he said out loud but what he was thinking on the inside was a completely different story. He always had a crush on Shelby and he still does to this day.

Then twenty minutes later Carly said " i am going to Groovy Smoothie. Does anyone want anything?" Freddy and Sam both said " a strawberry smoothie." Then Carly left to go get the smoothies.


(at Groovy Smoothie)

Carly was waiting there for someone to show up. She just lied to her friends so she could go meet this guy. Carly and this person have been seeing each other in secret for some time now.

A part of Carly felt guilty for not telling her friends the truth. She really wanted to tell them but if she did then a lot of people would have been angry and some would feel betrayed.

Then twenty minutes later a guy said to her " did you miss me?" Carly said " you're late Nevel." Then Nevel said " i hope this will make it up to you." After he said that he kissed Carly.


(at the iCarly studio)

Sam said " it has been a while since Carly left i'm starting to worry about her." Then Freddy said " She is fine. There was some major event there today and the lines are probably just really long." Sam said " if you say so."

Then after a couple of minutes of listening to Sam saying how worried she is Freddy said " i will go find her."


(at Groovy Smoothie)

Carly said " i should probably go. The others must be worried about me by now." Nevel said " relax. Stay a little longer. It has been a while since we last saw each other." Then Nevel kissed Carly and Carly kissed back.

Then Freddy came him and saw those two kissing. When Carly saw him there she tried moving towards him but Freddy just left without saying anything.


Freddy was really hurting right about now. When He got home he was in tears. Mrs. Benson noticed this and tried to ask him what was wrong but Freddy just went to his room, locked the door, and broke down crying.

(Mrs. Benson's POV)

I saw that my son Freddy was hurting but i couldn't get him to open up. My guess is that it had something to do with Carly because he never comes home this early. Then i got an idea.

I knew Shelby Marx. I always liked her more than Carly and i think that she likes my son. I had her number so i decided that i would call her and see if she could get Freddy to open up.


(Shelby's Hotel room)

Shelby was in her room at the hotel she was staying at. She was thinking that since she was back in Seattle she would surprise the iCarly gang with a visit. Then her cell phone rang.

She answered it and said " hello." Mrs. Benson said " Shelby i need your help." Shelby thought about for a minute because she didn't have any idea would call her for help but then she said " what is the problem?"

Mrs. Benson said " it is about my son Freddy." Shelby, with concern in her voice asked "what about him?" Mrs. Benson answered by saying " he came home crying like his heart has been broken and he won't tell me what's bothering him. I think it has something to do with Carly."

Shelby said "i will be over there as soon as i can. I should be there in an hour or two." Then she hung up the phone and got ready to leave.

(Shelby's POV)

I can't believe what i heard. Well, maybe i can believe the part where Carly was involved. The thing is i sort of like Freddy and to hear that he was in tears didn't sit too well with me.

If Carly is involved then she better pray that i don't get my hands on her. I am going to teach whoever hurt him that no one messes with MY Freddie. Then she thought (My Freddie? Where did that come from?)

She quickly shook off the thought and headed out to where Freddy was. I just hope that he is okay.


(at the iCarly studio)

Now Sam was getting worried. After Carly left Freddy went to look for her but then he disappeared. She figured he probably went home.

However, she couldn't get over the fact that Carly has been gone for such a long period of time. Sam thought that Carly was hiding something because whenever the subject came up. She just evaded all the questions.

Then Sam got tired of waiting and went home.


(at the Groovy Smoothie)

Nevel left a little while after Freddy came in. Carly was feeling really guilty. She decided that she was going to go home and then just go over to his appartment tomorrow to talk to him about it.

Then after seeing the look on Freddy's face when he left Carly's guilt got worse. He had done so much for the show. She decided that tomorrow she was just going to go over to his appartment and see what part of there friendship could be salvaged.

However, she was going to go home and tell her brother Spencer what happened. He always gave her advice when she needed it and right now she really needed it.


(Mrs. Benson's POV)

I was going over to Carly's appartment and get some answers. However when i got there i met up with her brother Spencer. I said " is Carly home?" Spencer said " no. Is there a problem?"

I said "of course there is a problem. My son Freddy came home, locked the door to his bedroom and has been crying ever since. He won't talk to me."

Spencer said " i will talk to Carly and get some answers. You should go home because even though Freddy isn't talking, he still needs someone with him. Also, i do not think that Carly will give you the answers directly."

I nodded my head and headed towards the door. Before i left i said " someone is coming over to talk to Freddy. I called Shelby Marx and she is coming over to try and help him"

As i was leaving I saw Spencer's jaw hit the floor.
