Chapter 1: I Pick You.

Hi Everyone I'm back - Multi-chapter Seddie story. Haven't decided how long I want this to be yet so we shall just go with the flow.

I hope you enjoy the first Chapter. :D

Sam's Pov

I pride myself in being able to make Freddie's life miserable. I'm always coming up with new and interesting ways to mess with him, be it his mind or body. But at the moment the only mind that was messed with is my own. Why or how you may be wondering? I'll start from the beginning:

"Sam! Sam!"

"WHAT?!" I stopped in my tracks turning around so fast I nearly gave myself whip lash.

"Look I know Cameron picked Carly but why are you running away, and are you crying?" Damn it! I didn't realise fresh tears were running down my face. "I'm not crying." I say quickly wiping my eyes to rid them of my shame. "Why are you letting this get to you? He is just one guy there's plenty of guys out there that would pick you." That made me snap.

"What other guy Freddie. There isn't any other guy. They always pick her, it's always perfect, girly, pretty Carly. It will never be me! The annoying, rude, bully. Never have I ever had someone pick me over her, and the one time I thought I had the upper hand I turn around for one second and there they are kissing. So no there isn't someone out there cos even if Carly went off the market they would still dream of being with her."

"Sam… That's not…"

"Stop, I don't wanna hear it." Then he grabbed my wrist forcing me to look at him.

"No, you stop. Listen. You say your annoying I say you stand up for yourself, you say your rude I say your honest, you say you're a bully I say your strong. Yes you can sometimes be aggressive but that's everything that's great about you. Carly will never get all the guys because they will see the side that they should see the beautiful, strong, independent and amazing girl that I see." With that he let go of my wrist and walked off the other way.

Now that was a week ago and I'm going crazy. What the hell did he mean by the "that I see".

So I've been avoiding him and I think he is starting to realise because well we see each other every day. Monday, he tried to talk to me during lunch and I ran and sat in an abandoned classroom. Tuesday I was eating fried chicken at Carly's and he came in and sat next to me I jumped five foot in the air and made a rubbish excuse about my mom and ran out the door. Wednesday I dived into a bush by the groovy smoothie because he was walking the other direction. Well you get the idea.

But it's iCarly day, so no avoiding him now. "Hey Sam." Carly said brightly like she normally is. "Sup Carls," she wasn't aware of the situation, she was to into her world of Camron. Ok I'm not mad at her but just maybe at the situation. But really I'm getting over it with my mind focused on the stupid nub.

"Hey guys you ready to do some webcasting." I don't make eye contact with him, "Frednerd."

"Sam."

After about half an hour, the show was finally over. "And we are clear. Great show guys."

"Yeah well I got to get going I forgot to feed frothy."

I ran out the door as quick as I could not wanting to deal with their questions. I had just got down to the lobby when I felt something grab my wrist. I was about to swing round and punch them in the face when I realised who it was. "What do you want?"

"Sam why do you keep avoiding me? It seems every time I come near you, you run away. I know we have never really had the best relationship but I still thought you were my friend."

"I… Don't know what you're talking about." I didn't make eye contact with him for fear of asking the one question that keeps running thought my mind.

"Sam, don't start this with me you have been avoiding me all week and," he looked down and whispered the last part "I miss you."

"What why would you miss me it's been probably been the best week of your life. Your personal bully left you alone and you got to spend the week with your beloved Carly."

"Sam… of course I missed you. You're my best friend, I know we fight all the time but I wouldn't have it any other way."

I looked down for a while thinking of a response. "Why did you say 'that I see?'?"

"What?"

"The other night you said all this stuff and said that guys will see the Sam that you see." It was all coming out now and I didn't care I just wanted answers.

"Is this what the avoiding is all about?" I did a small nod not trusting myself to reply.

"Sam, I do believe all that I said the other night. You are beautiful and strong and smart. I wouldn't change you even if I could."

I stood there speechless. "Why?" wait did I say that out loud.

"Why? ... Because I love you Sam." My head whipped up and I looked him dead in the eyes. "You … Love …. What?"

Freddie grabbed my hands and gave a small smile. "Sam I've always loved you. I was just to chicken to say it but this last week has been torcher not being able to talk to you and it made me realise more that I can't live my life without you in it. You can laugh, you can punch me, or you can just run away. But just know there is someone who would pick you." And then he did something I can't even explain, he kissed me. Now I've not kissed many guys, ok I've literally kissed Freddie and oh yeah that's it. But … Wow. He wrapped his arms around my waist, my arms somehow going around his neck. Pulling me closer so there was no space between us, but the need for breath became too great and we parted. I kept my eyes closed for a few more seconds thinking if I opened them it would all be a dream. But I opened my eyes and it wasn't a dream Freddie was still standing in front of me smiling. "uhh…" Not knowing what to say, this was all new territory for me. Freddie had just laid his heart out on the table and kissed me and I can't think of anything to say.

"Sam, I know this is a lot, how about you still go home and then we can talk tomorrow, say 2pm on the fire escape."

I managed a small nod and a smile, still in shock. He kissed my cheek, then walked back to the lift "Bye Sam."

"Bye Freddie." I whispered after him.

I got home my mind spinning. Not 20 minutes ago the guy I bully and make life miserable said he loved me.

Time to get honest with myself I have always loved Freddie, even before I knew what that was. See, I met him before Carly and I thought he was dorky but cute and we were best friends from the second we met at the park by my house. But after that I didn't see him for another 2 years. That made us 7. So I met Carly when I was 8 and my violent side started getting worse, my dad had just left and my sister was always being annoying so I decided at the young age of 8 to look after myself hint the violence. But when we were 9 Carly got a new neighbour. Freddie. He then fell in love with Carly. Forgetting all about me and even though we hung out at a park for a week like we knew each other years. So I hit him. Punched him. Kicked him. Emotionally damaged him. You get the idea. But I had never stopped thinking about him ever. As the years went on I felt guiltier about hurting him but then I would hear him say "I love Carly." The guilt would go away, immediately. A series of events happened that made my feelings stronger, the fire escape, the girl choice dance, the taco truck incident, the fan war… etc. I knew I was in love with him. But how could he love me he loved Carly, he and everyone always loved Carly. I need to sleep this off. I got into bed and laid there trying to sleep but I just stared at my ceiling, my brain not switching off. But somewhere along the line my eyes closed, I didn't realise until I woke up at 12pm the next day.

After 1hr and a half of getting ready I was finally leaving mine to head to Bushwell Plaza. My mind still wouldn't shut up, everything that had transpired these last few days and every little thing that involved Freddie was running through my already confused head. What am I going to say to him? How am I going to explain that the only reason I have hurt him over all these years is that he hurt me? I don't even know where to start; unfortunately I was already at Bushwell no more time to think I just had to get this over with.

Knock Knock

Memories of our first kiss reaching the fore front of my mind; "Hey." Freddie was already on the fire escape sitting on the stairs; I perched on the window seal, like old times. "Hey Sam; I'm glad you came."

A small smile spread onto my lips, I shook it off I needed answers before anything could happen. I took a breath not wanting to break the silence we found ourselves in, "What happened to you loving Carly?"

Freddie looked taken back at my sudden question; what I assumed he was getting together his thoughts before replying; "Do you want the whole story or the cliff notes?"

"Whole story."

"Ok; I never loved her. It was and always has been you. When I came back to Seattle the first thing I wanted to do was find you again; yes I do remember the park." He must of realised I was looking shocked. "I wanted to become as close as we were then but when I saw Carly and you together I panicked, you had found a new friend and seemed closer to her than you ever were to me, even though we only knew each other for a week. Look I'm not blaming you this is all my fault, I should have not put up this fake love for Carly and expect to get away with it. I wouldn't blame you if you don't believe me but I never forgot about you, that's one of the main reasons we came back. I kept begging my mum because I never found anyone as cool as I thought that young blond chick was from the park. Ok that's all I've got."

I sat there for what felt like hours; I do believe that it was only a few seconds. But I was in shock. He did remember me, I love Carly but we never bonded as quickly as Freddie and I did. I have always wanted Freddie to say these things but now that they have been said I don't know what to do, the only question that came to mind was, "Why did it take you 9 years to tell me the truth?"

"I really don't know. I never thought and I still don't know how you would react if I told the truth, but with how upset you got with Camren I just didn't want you thinking that Carly was always the better option. You by far are." He said this with a smile, and I was starting to believe what he was saying to me.

"You know I never forgot you either."

"Really?"

"Yeah I always wanted my cute dorky park buddy to come back home."

"Wait… Cute?"

"Shut Up. Anyway when you left, so did my dad and I just wanted to learn how to take care of myself so from then on I hurt anyone that I thought or did hurt me. Then you came back and the first thing you did was pine over Carly and my instincts kicked in and I hurt you like you hurt me."

"Sam… I'm so sorry…"

"No let me finish. Freddie I have always loved you from the second we met at the park until now. Every time I hit, punched or kicked you I always felt guilt, but you would compare me to Carly and that guilt would go and be replaced by heart break and I would hit you again. It was a continual cycle. But if you are telling me the truth so will I. Freddie Benson, I Sam Puckett am completely, madly head over heels in love with you."

It didn't take long for Freddie to react he walked over to me and smashed his lips on mine. Caught up in the moment I wrapped her arms around his neck while his hands found place on my waist. Sparks flew between us, fireworks exploding in my head, I've never felt so alive in my whole life. But to soon was it broken that breathe was needed. "umm…"

I smiled "Good work"

We both started laughing, what could have been an awkward moment wasn't because it was just two people who are completely comfortable around each other. "So what happens now?"

"I think it goes like this, Sam Puckett I love you more than I love anyone, would you do me the greatest honour and become my girlfriend."

I looked at him, "You know that might have been the cheesiest thing you have ever said. But putting that aside I would love to."

Thanks for reading. Please Review :D Have a good Day.
