Enjoy! Don't forget to leave a review. :)
Still sick, started coughing today. :(
Back at the Groovie smoothie Freddie waited impatiently as he tapped his foot on the floor and sucked his bottom lip. They're taking too long! What's taking them so long!
"It's like a magical mango. It tastes like a mango, but it also tangos with you're tongue with the language of dance. Its-" Gibby started talking, staring at his smoothie in awe.
"That's it, I'm going to see what's up." Freddie said getting up, ignoring Gibby.
"Whatever dude. It's cool, I'll wait here. Me and mango are going to tango." Gibby said, averting his attention to Freddie for a moment.
"Mango and I." Freddie corrected as he started to walk away.
"Dude, its my smoothie. Get your own mango to tango with." Gibby said defensively moving his smoothie away from Freddie.
"I meant-" Freddie started to say but stopped himself, closing his eyes and looking down with a frustrated look on his face. "I don't have time for this I'm going." Freddie said dismissing Gibby with a gesture.
"Yea that's right, you better walk away. I've got some tangoing to do." Gibby said drinking more of his smoothie.
Freddie walked out and started running towards Bushwell Plaza. When he soon saw Sam walking back alone his heart sunk and he slowed down.
"What happened? Let's get Carly" Freddie asked when Sam was close enough.
"Already saw her" Sam replied with a bored voice, continuing to walk back to the Groovie Smoothie.
Freddie stopped and grabbed Sam's arm. "Wait what? What did she say?"
Sam gave an annoyed looked and pulled her arm away. "She said she wants to be alone, so I'm leaving her alone."
"So you're just gonna go back to the Groovie Smoothie?"
"Uhh yeah? Smoothie's won't drink themselves you know. What do you want me to do anyway?"
"I don't know, let's go talk to her. "
"I already did."
"Fine whatever, I'm gonna go talk to OUR BEST FRIEND while you go slurp a smoothie." Freddie said, making her feel somewhat guilty
Sam shrugged. "Oh my God. Fine, I'm coming you nub." Sam turned and started to walk the other way again. "Wasn't even my fault…" she muttered as they started walking together.
"What'd you say?"
"Forget it. Let's go"
Carly walked swiftly out of the elevator onto her floor with an upset look. Carly entered the apartment to see Spencer was painting his sculpture. She didn't think much of it, without even a greeting she started to head for the stairs.
"Hey kiddo, how was the-"Spencer started.
Carly interrupted him saying "Don't let any of them in here!" as she started going up the stairs.
"Ummm, okay. Do you ….wanna talk about something?" Spencer said with some hesitation, stopping his work.
"No!" She yelled as she went upstairs.
"uhh…Ohhhhkay" Spencer replied. He heard her bedroom door slam and mouthed "WOW".
"I'm taking a shower. And a long one" Carly yelled down the stairs, her voice still sounding upset.
"Okay. Uhhh…Do you need a chair?" He yelled up the stairs.
"I have one" She yelled back down, entering the washroom.
I wonder what'is bugging her Spencer thought as he continued painting. He knew better than to try to cheer up Carly or talk to her when she was like this. He would wait until she finished her shower. She'd usually feel a little better by then.
A few minutes later as Spencer finished his sculpture there was a knock on the door. Spencer ignored it, remembering what Carly told him and began cleaning up.
Another knock.
"Nobody's home" Spencer said mimicking the voice of an old woman.
"Why do you have to disguise your voice? You're already saying something stupid." Sam said in an annoyed tone.
"Well…now I'm not opening the door. So What now!" Spencer snapped back.
"Can you please just let us in?" Freddie asked sincerely.
"If you don't open it, I'll just pick the lock." Sam said from the other side.
"Sam that's illegal" Freddie whispered.
"And I care?" She whispered back.
"You can't pick our lock" Spencer said confidently, letting out a giggle.
"Try me" Sam retorted in a threatening voice.
"Okay! Okay! I'm opening the door!" Spencer replied as he ran to the door, stopping his laughter.
Spencer sighed and opened the door.
"What do you guys want?"
"Carly home?" Freddie asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Yeah, she said not to let either of you in. What did you guys do?"
"I don't know. Well, I forgot what smoothie she wanted and she just snapped and ran away." Freddie said trying to explain.
"Yeah, she sorta just lost it." Sam added.
"Is she okay?" Freddie asked with sincere concern
"I don't know, she seemed pretty pissed when she got back. Are you sure that's why she's this upset? She's in the shower"Spencer paused for a moment and looked left and right.
"One of her long showers?" Sam asked, feeling a little concerned.
He nodded. He leaned closer to them and whispered. "she even brought A CHAIR with her."
"Oh man, that's serious chiz." Sam said looking concerned.
"I know right! Are you sure there's nothing else?" Spencer said, looking at both of them as he bit his lip in anticipation.
Sam and Freddie looked each other and looked back at Spencer and shook their heads. Spencer sighed disappointed, looking down at the floor.
"So can you let us talk to her?" Freddie said feeling guilty trying to walk into the apartment
"I don't think it's a good idea for you to come in right now. Plus she's in the shower" Spencer said shaking his head, blocking Freddie's way.
"I'll wait for her. I just want to apologize"
"I know, but she said not to let any of you in. She really just wants some alone time."
Freddie nodded and gritted his teeth, feeling angry at himself for not being able to do anything.
"Dude, can't you do something to help?" Sam said, not liking the situation.
Spencer sighed and thought for a moment. "Okay. I'll talk to her, tell her you came by. Sound good? I'll wait up until she finishes. Maybe she'll tell me what's up."
Freddie felt some relief and gave a small smile. "Thanks Spencer, it means a lot."
"Okay, just try to relax. I'll try to handle this. Now if you'll excuse me, mister fishy is drying and I have to clean up."
The two nodded acceptingly and Spencer closed the door.
"I told you she didn't wanna talk to us." Sam said dryly, starting to walk towards the elevator.
Freddie stopped her by putting his hand on her shoulder and turned her, making her shrug.
"What do you want?"
"So what exactly did she say to you when you went after her?" Freddie asked,
Sam sighed. "She wasn't really clear, but I know one thing for sure." She said pointing her index finger towards him as she said "This is all on you Fredward." poking in the shoulder as she started to walk towards the elevator.
"I'm going home. Nothing we can do now. Let's just see how she is tomorrow. See ya nub" Sam soon disappeared in the elevator and Freddie was alone.
He stood there for a moment, thinking. "What did I do?" He said out loud to himself. He felt a hint of déjà vu. But why? Where had he said that before? He couldn't remember, but he felt a vague sadness in the pit of his stomach. He decided to stop thinking about it for now and entered his apartment.
Carly sat on a plastic chair in the shower. She only did this when something was bothering her, and bothering her A LOT. And this was definitely one of those times.
The soothing warmth of the shower wasn't enough to calm the troubled mind of the brunette. Thoughts spun in her head as she sat on her chair. She loved the feeling of taking a shower. It's as if the water could just wash her troubles away.
So what's wrong with me? All he did was forget my order…but he remembered everyone else's. Even Sam's. Do I feel jealous?...Jealous of what?…Jealous of how he treats others compared to me?...But he's nice to everyone...Maybe I'm just thinking too much. I should just stop. Ya, I'll just sleep on it.
Carly shook her head and took a deep breath as she cleared her thoughts, letting the water wash them away.
When she got out she was surprised to find that it was midnight. That makes this my longest shower yet. She thought as she went to her room in her towel.
She entered, turning on the light and she was surprised to find her brother asleep on her chair.
"Spencer what are you doing here?" She said walking to her brother.
Spencer woke up and blinked a few times, rubbing his eyes. "Hey,wait what time is it?"
"Past midnight"
"That's a new shower record Carly Shay." Spencer said as finished rubbing his eyes.
"Ya, I guess…What do you want?"
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Do you wanna talk?"
"I said no…I'm fine. Now will you get your butt outta my chair and outta my room so I can get ready for bed?" She said pointing to the door.
"Alright, I'm going." Spencer said sleepily as he got up.
Spencer stood at the door for a moment, hesitating. He leaned on the doorframe and turned. "You know Freddie didn't mean to upset you, right kiddo?"
"So you know what happened? Sam text you?" Carly said in a serious tone, starting to feel somewhat upset. She sat and turned her chair to face the mirror.
"Well, actually Sam and Freddie came by. They seemed really worried about you" Spencer paused for a moment as Carly turned the chair to face him again.
"Is that really all that's wrong?"he said with a little hesitation.
Carly sighed. "I said I don't want to talk" She said trying to sound polite, but there was anger in her voice.
"Okay, I'm sorry. It's just…you're usually never this upset. I'm worried about you"
"Thanks, but I just wanna be alone. "
Carly felt goosebumps starting to form and she rubbed her arms, "I'm starting to get cold, can we just not talk about this."
Spencer nodded, not quite pleased by the outcome of their conversation.
Carly turned her chair back and looked at her brother through the mirror. "Good night Spencer."
"Good night kiddo, try not to be so upset. I don't know what happened exactly, but don't be so hard on Freddie and the others. Your friends love you" Spencer said leaving the room and closing the stared at herself and thought of Freddie, Spencer's words echoed in her head Your friends love you
Does he? Carly thought as she started the blow drier. She looked at the clock, 12:22 Guess I'm sleeping in.
Carly changed into her pajamas and jumped into her bed, feeling exhausted. I'm so tired I could just fall asleep any second…
A song she once heard started playing in her mind.
Carly opened her eyes. She was dancing with Freddie. She looked around confused and then she remembered it, all of it, when the lyrics begun.
"but then when I touch you and I disappear
safe in your arms you take me"
This was after the girl's choice dance. When both their dates had already left Freddie had offered a dance. Carly had added this song to her pear-pod the day after. It was a good song.
Carly smiled, looking into Freddie's eyes, feeling his warm and comfortable gaze. She felt happy, she felt safe in his arms.
She leaned her head on him and closed her eyes, enjoying the moment. I love this. Carly thought. I love hi-
Suddenly a Taco truck rammed through the wall, Freddie pushed Carly away and looked at her sadly. "I'm sorry Carls, It's too late" The taco truck went full speed towards Freddie. Carly reached for Freddie, but she couldn't do anything. It was too late.
"FREDDIE!" Carly screamed, rising from her bed, sweat on her forehead. Just a dream…
