"So petrified, I'm scared to stepinto this ride"- Adele

Sam's POV

I walked into the room, brave face on. I saw Carly and almost lost it at the sight of her. She was hooked up to machines, multiple wires coming out from varies places, had a cast on her arm and her face was badly bruised.

"Carly" I whispered to afraid to even think about touching her. I looked back at Freddie for support but he looked just as confused and helpless as I did.

"Spencer are you okay?" Freddie asked

I glanced up at Spencer who was across the bed from me. I hadn't even noticed him that's how quiet he was. He was just holding Carly's hand and ignoring everything and everybody else. I knew this had to be the hardest on him. Carly really was the most important thing in the world to him and he was probably blaming himself for what happened to her.

"…So stupid, how could I not see the car coming. I'm so sorry Carly" he murmured

"Spence it's not your fault"

At that Spencer stood and turned around, glaring at Freddie.

"What do you mean it's not my fault? I was driving the car. I wasn't paying enough attention. I made the wrong move and now she's in the hospital because of my stupid ass decisions!"

He then broke down and cried. It broke my heart even more to see Spence like this. He was like an older brother to me and I had never seen him breakdown like this before. But then again Carly had never had the full weight of a car crash into her at 70 miles per hour.

"What the chiz happened" We heard a frail, raspy voice say from behind us. I whirled around and saw Carly struggling to sit up. I rushed to her side, Spencer and Freddie right behind me.

"How do you feel?" Spencer asked taking his place beside her bed again.

"Like I've been hit by a truck"

"A car actually" Freddie said smiling a bit. He really did have a great smile. And body. A really great body…

"Sam!"

I looked at Carly sheepishly, "Huh?" My best friend had just almost died and I was admiring the boy who I supposedly hated.

What was wrong with me?

Carly gave me a strange look before repeating herself, "Can you do iCarly with Gibby this week. I really don't want the viewers to see me like this"

"With Gibby?" I groaned I can't be around Gibby for an extended period of time without wanting to cause him some type of physical harm.

"Sam" she whined. "I just got hit by a car"

"Fine play the 'I just got hit by a car' card. But I will not be held responsible for the bodily harm that I will cause him"

"But you just- whatever" Freddie said giving up taking a seat on the edge of the bed.

The doctor came through the door and smiled seeing Carly awake, "Good. Well the good news is that other than the broken arms and the bruised ribs you should be fine. However we would like to keep you overnight just to be safe"

"So I'm going to be okay?" Carly asked, her voice already stronger than it was just minutes ago.

"Yeah, you are" I said answering before the doctor could

Freddie's POV

2 days later

"SAM!" I yelled as she ran up the stairs away from me "Give me back my phone!"

"Come and get it!"

I ran up the stairs and heard her rummaging around Carly's room. I pressed as close to the wall as I could and peered into the room. I saw Sam stuffing my phone under the mattress. I crept into the room and snuck up behind her. I quickly grabbed by her the waist and tossed her on the bed before sticking my hand under the mattress desperately trying to get my phone before she recovered.

And failed.

Sam quickly hopped off the bed and tackled me to the ground.

"Guys!" I faintly heard Carly yell from downstairs, "Stop trying to kill each other!"

I flipped Sam over and reached for my phone she had in her hands which were over her head. She struggled against me not realizing the ways her body was moving against mine. She then stuffed my phone down her shirt and crossed her arms. She smirked at me as if daring me to get it.

"Sam?" I asked aware of the position I was in. Us on Carly's bedroom floor, me straddling her waist with my phone down her shirt. How do I get myself into these situations?

"Nub?" she said back. Not really challenging me now but the look she gave me now was much worse. It was soft. Alluring. Sexy as hell. Not a look I was used to getting from Samantha Puckett.

"Sam! Freddie!" Carly's voice was much closer now. I looked down a Sam who now had a panicked look on her face as she pushed me off of her.

"Yay, you're both alive" Carly said walking into the room sounding genuinely surprised as she sat down on her bed; not noticing the tension in the air between me and Sam. I stood up awkwardly avoiding Sam's eyes not quite sure how I was supposed to handle her. Next time we were alone was sure to be awkward
