Seddie Just Clicks
A/N: Yay! I'm starting yet ANOTHER story… Wish me luck XD
Anyway, this is a response to mirage888's Super Seddie Songshot Challenge :D She also helped me figure out the title for this story :)
I've decided to use The Click Five album Greetings from Imrie House. If you haven't heard of them, I suggest you listen to this album. It's my favorite one of theirs. Modern Minds and Pastimes just doesn't speak to me as much as this one does… OKAY! I'm not here to rant about The Click Five! I'm here to write a story! And that's what I'm gonna do! So… Ready, set… GO! XD
Wait, actually, I need to make this note longer first... XD So this is set some time into the future, maybe four or five years from now? Yeah, I'm not exactly sure. Also, iOMG never happened, nor did any of the Seddie Arc. So… I think that's it… *Mario voice* Here we go!
Disclaimer: Unless it's possible to be six different people at once, I don't own iCarly or any of the songs from the album Greetings from Imrie House.
Chapter one: Good Day
(Sam's POV)
I woke up early in my hotel room
Waiting for my alarm to go
I think about the things I've gotta do
Damn, my mind is gonna blow
I'm freaking out about what's ahead
Maybe I'll just stay in bed
'Cause it's no fun to be the one going out of my head
So I tell it to myself again
You're looking for something you can't find
If you give it up, you'll lose your mind
There's always something in your way
But what can you say, you're gonna have a good day
I swear, I've started to go insane. I don't know why I never told him.
I mean, is there anything normal about liking a guy since ninth grade and never telling him? Yeah, I didn't think so.
But I've decided to finally tell him. The only problem is this: I'm starting to chicken out. Yeah, I know, Sam Puckett, chickening out… Laughable, really. But it's true!
I've come all the way across the country to New York, just to tell him, and I'm freaking out.
This morning I had decided to go and tell him, and I woke up before my alarm could even go off, full of anxiety.
I thought about exactly what would happen today, and knew one thing. My mind was gonna blow if I didn't stop thinking about everything.
I considered just lying in bed all day, 'cause I really was not looking forward to going out of my head.
Bu I convinced myself to take the extra step, and do what I had come to New York for. If I I've up, I'll only lose my mind. As if it's not already long gone…
Whatever! I just have to push all that aside, and remember one thing; today is gonna be a good day.
I quit my job about a week ago
Told them that I need some time
But now I'm going strong on Lexapro
Doctor says I'm doing fine
I'm freaking out about what's ahead
Maybe I'll just stay in bed
'Cause it's no fun to be the one going out of my head
So I tell it to myself again
You're looking for something you can't find
If you give it up, you'll lose your mind
There's always something in your way
But what can you say, you're gonna have a good day
I quit my job last week. It really wasn't a great job anyway; just working the drive through at Inside Out Burger. Two words: Not. Fun.
I figured I'd be here in New York for a while, and I needed some time to stay here; to sort things out and such. I highly doubt that any fast food restaurant would let someone take an extensively long vacation… Besides, I really don't think I need to worry about keeping a job like that, it's not like it's very hard to get a job at a fast food restaurant…
Just when I thought, I couldn't lose
I realized it's the only thing I knew, oh
I'm freaking out about what's ahead
Maybe I'll just stay in bed
'Cause it's no fun to be the one going out of my head
So I tell it to myself, tell it to myself, tell it to myself again
You're looking for something you can't find
If you give it up, you'll lose your mind
There's always something in the way
As I entered the apartment building that Freddie now lived in, I was thinking there was no way I could possibly lose.
But it was just seconds after knocking on his door that I realized I only knew one thing: I loved him.
There were so many things I didn't know and hadn't made account for, however. He could have a girlfriend right now. Heck, for all I know, he could be married! Okay, probably not that extreme; I think he would have let everyone know that… But still…
I was about to bolt and just let him think he had been ding-dong-ditched, but he opened the door just before I could make a run for it. Damn him and his impeccable timing…
"Sam?" He asked in disbelief when he saw that I was the one standing at the door.
I was dumbfounded, and seemed to have lost all my wits right in that moment, and all I managed to get out was a quickly whispered, "Hi."
He laughed lightly at my lack of greeting. I was tempted to smack him for it, but decided against it.
"Any reason you're standing at my door?" He questioned, smirking at the fact that I was here.
"No chiz," I laughed a little, trying to compose myself again.
"Wanna come inside? I can make you a cup of coffee or something." He offered.
"You're a great hostess, Fredward." I laughed.
"Why, thank you." He rolled his eyes.
With that, I walked right past him and threw myself down on his couch. Aren't I polite?
Freddie simply rolled his eyes and headed into his kitchen; I assumed he was going to make the coffee that he had mentioned earlier.
"So, what's the reason you wanted to see me? Did you just move here or something?" He asked from the kitchen.
I got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen, answering, "Nope, I still live in Seattle…"
"Then what are you doing in New York?" He questioned with a slightly surprised tone of voice.
"I wanted to talk to you." I shrugged.
"You wanted to talk to me?" He stared at me, as if he were trying to figure out if I was lying.
I simply nodded in response to his question.
He then continued with, "Why didn't you just call me? What could be so important that you needed to come all the way across the country to tell me in person?"
I sighed. This was it. There's always something in the way… And this time, it's my stupid fear. Fear that he'll say he has a girlfriend; fear that he doesn't like me back.
You're looking for something you can't find
If you give it up, you'll lose your mind
There's always something in your way
But what can you say
You're looking for something you can't find
If you give it up, you'll lose your mind
There's always something in your way
But what can you say
It was then that I decided to simply throw that fear out the window, and to swallow my pride. If I give up now, I'll surely lose all remaining bits of my mind.
I walked closer to him as I whispered, "Something I should've told you back in high school."
This got him to open his eyes widely in shock, even though he wasn't aware of just what I wanted to tell him. He breathed, "High school? Sam! What could you possibly have been keeping from me since then?"
I'll admit it. I was scared to say it. It was the three little words that scared the life outta me.
Despite everything, brown met blue and the words just slipped off my tongue, "I love you…"
How do I describe his reaction? Hmm, I guess I could start with his jaw that nearly hit the floor. Or his eyes that were much bigger that they should have been… Or I could just skip ahead to when he finally pulled everything together and kissed me… Yeah, I think I'll start with that.
Once he had collected his thoughts, he decided to simply press his lips to mine. At first, I was so shocked that I didn't kiss back. But that was only for a brief second, and we soon found ourselves with no distance between us to close.
Yeah, I think today was a pretty good day…
You're gonna have a good day
You're gonna have a good day
You're gonna have a good day
A/N: How was THAT for starting off the story? XD
I honestly thought this was gonna be impossible to write. But once I started, it just kinda all worked out… I guess it might have to do with the fact that this song doesn't really have a story behind it, and it was fairly easy to put one behind it… I dunno XD
Wow, this really made the three-hour plane ride I was just on fly by… Haha, get it? Plane ride? Fly? Yeah, I know, shame... XD But... The pun just had to be put out there... XD
Reviews are greatly appreciated! Seriously, whenever I see an email from FanFiction and it says "Review Alert" I get all excited XD Wow, I should get a life XD
