It Was Just a Dream
Vwa la here it is a Seddie story! By me!
"My fellow friends and family we gather here today for the home going of Jeanette Puckett. She was a daughter, a wife and a mother; she came into this beautiful world August 2, 1975 and sadly left April 10, 2010. She will be missed-" he continued to read but I didn't listen, the only thing I have is gone. I didn't have an umbrella the rain dropped on my head heavily as he spoke. I cried and rain smacked my forehead, so this is it huh?
"Sam I'm sorry." Carly comes from behind Freddie I throw my arms around her. I fiercely cry I choke tears out, I can't breathe my face is hot.
"We love you and miss you, goodbye Jeanette," they bury her; everyone starts to peal back into their cars. Carly walks away with spencer everyone leaving me.
I cry harder than I have ever cried in my entire life, I stand in the rain yelling in pain. The rain falling harder, lightening and thunder cracking in the sky. I try to stop crying and breathe but I can't. Then I see Freddie walking towards me.
"Sam," Freddie puts his arm around my shoulder and guides me to his car. I step inside he puts my crutches in the backseat. The crying doesn't stop, I feel dizzy, and lightheaded I close my eyes and let my head hang over my lap.
"Sam," Freddie says again shaking me "Sam!" he says louder. I look up and blink my eyes tears slowly rolling.
He drives away into the traffic, stuck for about fifteen minutes; he drives out of traffic onto the freeway. Everything is going fine- I've stopped crying my headache is going away I feel so much better.
"Sam I love you," he says
"I love you t-" before I can finish a large gas truck slams into our car Freddie slams on the breaks the car spinning out of control into the truck, we are flipped over. Blood is everywhere I grab Freddie's shoulder but he's dead. I start to cry. The truck shoots up in flames and it inches closer and closer. I try to get out but my cast is stopping, I scream but nothing happened, the fire is already burning the car it gets very hot then…
I wake up quickly in Freddie's apartment on his couch. I sit up panting, its dark, and his tiny apartment dark only showing a small light from outside. I see a paper on his coffee table in front of the couch. It shows a recent accident, I push it off the table angrily. I swing my legs in front of the couch I grab hold of the couch to stand then a chair, my broken leg avoiding me properly to stand up. I almost fall but quickly grab something, very warm. I look up to see a person, I jump back an almost fall when Freddie catches me.
"Sam are you okay?"
"I'm fine," I say.
"Here," he hands me my crutches.
"Thanks," I murmur. I use them to get to the door. "Can you take me home?"
"Sam its 2am I'll bring you in the morning."
"Whatever. I'll walk besides it's not that far anyway!" I yell.
"Sam I'll bring you first thing, I promise." I turn around.
"I'm leaving now. Okay," I say loudly I open the door. I'm in so much pain.
"I'll take you," he grabs his keys
"We drive for about five minutes to reach my dorm. He drives very slowly, knowing about my recent fears on cars. He reaches my apartment the lights shine yellow outside. The grass reflecting from the moon.
"I had another dream, Freddie." I say before I get out of the car. He grabs my hands from the drivers' side. Stopped in front of my dorm hall.
"Sam it's going to be okay."
"It felt so real, I felt as if I relived the whole moment, Freddie!"
"Babe," he says in a breathy voice and hugs me.
"I'm sorry for yelling," I rub my hands through his brown hair.
"Its fine okay, you screamed in you're sleep that's actually why I came down. I figured you had another dream, you seem restless."
"I haven't slept normal in weeks Freddie,"
"Come back, you can have the bed," he smiles, the smile I used to hate.
"Or what?" I ask just to be difficult.
"I'll get you," he pretends to throw a punch.
"Freddie no matter what has changed I can still kick you're butt," I most definitely can't actually.
"I want too, but I'm going to stay here for the night, I need to think for a bit," I open my door before he can, I hate when people think they have to open every door or do everything thing is I'm just as capable. Well barely with this cast, he still has to come around and help me out of the car.
I use my key to get into the apartment lobby he follows along we step into the elevator. I melt my body into to his tired and worn out I could probably fall asleep just like this. We reach my floor and I kiss him.
"Goodnight," I smile I kiss him again. A door opens.
"Sam, Freddie, hey," my roommate Jessica sticks her wet head out of her room, wearing a towel, Samantha I was wondering if you were coming home tonight," she laughs "I need to talk when you get a minute," she shuts the door.
"Call me," Freddie says then kisses me again this time longer than before.
"I love you," we share a quick kiss then depart. I walk into our messy room covered in pink, purple and clothes.
"Having a little make out scene aren't you?" Jessica squeals.
"He's amazing," I throw my bags down on my bed.
"Then why are you here? Shouldn't you be with him?"
"I need to think Jess," she walks over and hugs me.
"It's okay Samantha,"
"Thanks," I reply. "Speaking of which why are you here?"
"Went to a party but had beer dumped on me, I got pissed of I couldn't drink anyway e an interview tomorrow, I would have to take a million hangover reliefs, so I left, headed to Calvin's right now though."
"Oooohhhhh Calvin, how is he?" I smirk.
"Good so very good," she winks and pulls on some sweats and a tank top then grabs her large Victoria's Secret bag says goodbye and heads out.
I lay down on my bed sitting for a while thinking, I hid the old Sam. The old Sam would never wear makeup, cheer, or even date Freddie. I hated my past I threw everything away even eating meat I changed completely. I saw my future in my mother and hated it, I didn't want to always hurt like she did so I did something new. In eleventh grade I knew I needed to go to college and have a new beginning so I turned everything around.
I tossed and turned a couple of times until I was finally fast asleep.

How do you like? I have had that idea for a while now but I root for Creddie (sorry people) I've been asked to write Seddie and I always said no. However, I spoke with someone on Twitter (not sure if they would want me to put their name up) but they convinced me to write a Seddie story. Here it is folk's hope you enjoy, as always read, smile, and review! ~Thanks.
