Freddie's POV

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

I was walking to the post office; Sam just sent me back all off my stuff that I left with her, including the stuff that I gave her. I couldn't take it, so I'm mailing it back. I miss her. So much. I haven't dated anyone at all since she left what? A month ago? I can't believe I made that mistake. I have no excuses to what I did. But I do have a lot of regrets because of it.

I stopped in front of a fancy restaurant when I heard a familiar voice. I come in and see Sam sitting on a stool with a guitar. She was singing. She was wearing a black, sparkling, sleeveless dress that went up until just above her knees. I was stunned. After all the months that we dated I didn't know that she could sing this well. Her voice was mesmerizing, and I could see that the customers think this too.

I came up to the person at the podium.

"Table for one, sir?" He asked.

"Yeah. Sure." He led me to a table not far from the elevated area that stood as a stage.

"here's our menu sir." The guy from the podium handed me a menu.

"Thank you. Uhm. Does she sing here often?" I ask him.

"Yes. She has been a regular for 3 weeks now. We've had a lot more people coming in since then. Now is there anything else you need sir?"

"No. Thank you." The guy left then.

So I guess this is where she works now. I missed her. I look at her studying her better. The dress clings to her body beautifully, she was also wearing make-up. Her voice sounds like an angel's. I look around and saw some of the boys staring at her with open mouths. I grit my teeth. Then I sigh. I guess I have no reason to be jealous. We're not together anymore anyways. And her beauty was hard not to stare at.

She ended her song, and a round of applause greeted her.

"Thank you. Now here's another song." Her angelic voice said.

The intro of the song started playing.

Normal POV

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

The power lines went out
And I am all alone
But I don t really care at all
Not answering my phone
All the games you played
The promises you made
Couldn t finish what you started
Only darkness still remains

Lost sight
Couldn t see
When it was you and me

This song reminds me so much of my relationship with Freddie.

Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I m beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I ll be alright

Though I wish I could forget him. I still haven't seen the light I guess. I'll get over him…I hope.

Been black and blue before
There s no need to explain
I am not the jaded kind
Playback s such a waste
You re invisible
Invisible to me
My wish is coming true
Erase the memory of your face

No, my wish is not coming true. I tried to ignore it when other girls came around. I don't want to go back to all the times I've caught him flirting with other girls.

Sam… She looks like she's going to cry. This song… It's like she's directing it to me or something. Maybe not. She could've already forgotten about me and moved on. She already has a lot of other guys pining for her here. The boys pining for her are even worse than those going after Carly.

Lost sight
Couldn t see
When it was you and me

Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I m beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I ll be alright

Oh my god… Freddie…He's…What is he doing here?

Sam was looking around when she locked eyes with Freddie. Her eyes widened but she kept on singing.

Sam. She finally saw me. I can't tell by her expression if she was happy or mad. But surprise was definitely clear on her face.

One day
You will wake up
With nothing but you re sorrys
And someday
You will get back
Everything you gave me

I sung this part looking straight at Freddie. I hope he got the message.

I gulp. I could already feel the tears stinging my eyes. Ah Benson get a hold of yourself! I look around… Some of the boys here are already glaring daggers at me since she was now just staring at my face.

Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I m beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I ll be alright

Freddie… He still looked the same. Although a little taller.

Sam's POV

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

I finished the song then told the guy there that I would take a break. He agreed seeing that I have been singing for an hour now.

I walk towards Freddie's table and just stand there.

"Hey Sam." He whispered smiling nervously at him.

"Hey." I told him. I was eyeing the chair.

"Oh. Yeah." He said standing up. He pushed the chair back and made me sit. Okay now that was unexpected. I was just waiting for an invitation to sit. I looked at him once he was seated. He was glaring at something behind me.

I turn around and see about 6 of the teenage boys that come here regularly was glaring at him. I gave them a glare that could've killed them on the spot and let out a snarl. They looked down with a mixture of fear and embarrassment on their face.

I turn around. I could already tell what's going to happen.

Freddie took a deep breath and was about to talk when I stood up and walked up to him. I grabbed his arm and forced him to stand up. I could tell that a lot of people were now staring at us.

Fear was etched clearly on Freddie's face. I still haven't let go of his arm, but I loosened my grip a bit.

"Sam…I…" He stuttered, "I miss you. I have been a waste for the last month. I haven't dated anybody else because I know that they're nothing compared to you. I…"

He wasn't able to finish his sentence because I cut him off by jumping at him and kissed him. I wrapped my arms around his neck to make the kiss deeper. I could feel him kissing back. There was an applause from my co-workers, since they know about what happened between us. I broke the kiss and grinned at them. I turned back to Freddie.

"Promise me that you wouldn't hurt me again?" I told him seriously.

"I promise." He said kissing my forehead.
