#Carly Shay, age 26, was sitting in the back of an old 50's diner drinking her strawberry milkshake. Gaining weight was not a matter anymore for the aged Shay. For she had nothing to live for. The love of her life and her best friend were getting married tomorrow and she couldn't do anything about it. That's right Freddie Benson and Samantha Puckett were getting married and Carly wasn't invited. The only way Carly knew about the ceremony was that Wendy told her.

Just as Carly was in deep thought a man with a rugged beard and was rather buff came up to her and said "Hey sweetheart, wanna make some dough?" Carly looked up at the man and said "Buzz off, Bastard." and the guy left her alone.

Carly went back to her milkshake and sulked there until it was closing time. A woman with a waitress uniform on walked up to Carly and said "Hey listen honey, we're closing up. That'll be $4.00." Carly paid her dues and just as she was about leave the diner a couple walked in. The man was tall, deep brown eyes, brunette hair color, and was wearing a leather jacket. The woman he was with had dirty blond hair, ocean blue eyes, a bit shorter than her boyfriend and was hold a very expensive purse. The ones that only celebrity's have. Carly recognized the pair right when they walked in the door.

It was Sam and Freddie. Her ex-best friends.

The same waitress that came up to Carly went over to Sam and Freddie and said "Sorry kids, we're closed."

Freddie told her "Can't you make one exception. We're getting married tomorrow."

The waitress's face grew a smile and showed them to a table. Carly, wanting to watch them, got up from her booth at the other end of the diner and took the booth right next to their's. Carly could only overhear some dialog:

"Hey Freddie, remember Carly Shay?"

"Oh yeah…she was a mess after high school."

"I can't believe we were ever friends with that chick."

"Well she is not coming to the wedding and after we move to New York, she will never find us."

Then Sam and Freddie got up and was about to walk past the booth Carly was sitting in and Carly immediately stood up in front of them and said "So I was mess huh?"

"H-hey Carls!" said Sam said try to sound polite.

" 'Hey Carls'! You two abandoned me after high school and went to California on vacation! Carly yelled.

"Carly, we're sorry." Sam said sympathetically.

"Zip it, Puckett. Or should I say Benson. How could you guys not invite to your own wedding?" by the end of that sentence pain struck Carly's voice.

"We're sorry, Carly. But after you gave up Josh, we don't feel close to you." Freddie said.

Josh was Carly's baby that she had after she got back together with Griffin. She gave up Josh for adoption.

Sam and Freddie left the diner and Carly headed home as well. She had seven cats, she got one after each breakup within the last ten years. There was cloudy, comet, dancer, rainy, poodles, daybreak, and scars. She plopped on her bed and cried. She always thought to herself from that day forward on how her life could have been if she had married Freddie. After about six more years went by after that night at the diner and Carly was married. She married a man that made himself seem like the perfect guy to Carly. Two years of marriage and he had abused her and cheated on her. After the divorce, Carly still went to therapy and her life was never the same. But she always remembered the last night she saw her best friends. That night at the diner.

A/N. Wow, I feel sad about the ending. So I sort of warped the ending than what I wrote down so…I hope you have enjoyed. I aim to please!
