A/N: Why hello there! Whats that? Another update so soon? Yes! I got good feedback so far, and access to an actual computer again, and I was listening to Almost Is Never Enough on repeat so I have proper inspiration! Also, about that bonus chapter. I have I have two people who said they want me to use the song So Close. But keep giving me song ideas! The more the better! Oh and um this chapter has slight Jori... if you could call it that... and it is loosely based on a story I read about Sam and Jade kinda competing for Cat? I mean it's kinda like that... so sorry!
Also, thanks for the reviews! Internet hug!
(BTW Italics is Cat singing, Bold is Nathan)
So.. yeah.. the chapter.
Disclaimer: Great, this again. No, I don't own Sam and Cat, or Ariana Grande's beautiful songs. Sorry. Maybe next time.
As soon as she saw the bright pink pear-phone on the couch, she scooped it up and drove off towards the school. Cat had left about an hour ago, and forgotten her cell. So, Sam to the rescue.
Upon arriving at the school, Sam thought she would just drop off the phone at the Study of Music class, which Cat had repeatedly told her was her first period class. You know, in case something happened. Then, Sam would go up to Cat, give her the phone, and leave. Easy as that.
At least, that's what she thought.
When she entered the class, Sam noticed that 1- this was not your normal Study of Music class. There were people in pairs everywhere, singing what seemed like original songs. 2- Cat seemed to be getting along fine without her phone. Very fine.
In fact, she was having a ball it seemed, giggling with some good looking brunette male. Great.
"Cat!" She called. When said redhead turned around and gave the blonde a wide smile, she walked over.
"I found your phone. It was on the couch." She explained.
"Oh my god! Thank you Sam!" The small girl said, giving Sam a "Cat Hug" after taking the phone back.
Sam looked at Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome with raised eyebrows. When Cat didn't catch on, she asked "Who's this?"
"Oh," Cat said, "This is my friend, Nathan. We're going to sing a song together in a few minuets. Hey! You should stay and watch!"
"No, no it's fine-"
"C'mon, Pleeeeeease?" Cat interrupted with puppy dog eyes. Great.
"Yeah, it would be fine if you stayed." said in a British accent. Even greater.
"Fine," Sam gave in, "I guess I can stay..."
"Great," Cat replied, "You can sit with Tori!"
Sam perked up slightly at the mention of someone she knew. Cat lead her over to where Tori and a tall brunette that Sam slightly remembered from the Kenan party, who gave Tori a piggyback ride after that crazy performance when Sam sang in public for the first time in years... but that's a story for another time.
"Hey! Sam, right?" Tori asked when she saw the two girls walk over.
"You know each other?" Cat asked, with something in her voice that sounded slightly possessive, Sam couldn't tell. But her suppositions were confirmed when Tori told Cat how they, "met in a closet at that one crazy party," and Cat tightened her grip on Sam while slightly narrowing her eyes, lips slightly parting.
Oh my god, Sam thought, She's jealous! Sam also noticed the other brunette tensed, but who cared? Cat was jealous! She might like Sam!
"Yeah, well, she's my roommate now! She just came to drop off my phone to me that I left on our couch. In our living room. In our house. Now, can she sit with you for a bit while I sing? I want her to see my performance!" Cat said, stunning Sam. And Tori. And whoever this other random girl was.
"Y-yeah," Tori replied to the smaller girl, "Sure."
"Thank you." Cat said, then turned and walked off towards the stage.
For a while Sam, Tori, and the other girl just stood there. Then, the unnamed brunette cleared her throat.
"Well," she spoke in what Sam could easily identify as a mocking, yet guarded voice, "Look at that. Cat found a new friend!"
"Oh, right. Sam, this is my, er- friend, Jade." Tori spoke up.
"Sam." the blonde stated with a small wave. All she got in return was a slight incline of the head from this "Jade" girl.
Before anyone could say anything else, Cat and Nathan took the stage, and music started to play.
I'd like to say we gave it a try
I'd like to blame it all on liffe
Maybe we just weren't right
But that's a lie
That's a lie
As soon as Cat started to sing, it was like every other time. Sam was entranced. She couldn't look away. And she didn't want to. All she wanted to do was watch Cat. But this was different. Like a message in the song, directed at someone. Probably Nathan, Sam thought.
And we can deny it as much as we want
But at times our feeling will show
Cuz sooner or later
We'll wonder what we gave up
Truth is everyone knows
And then she gave Sam that look-that look-and Sam just knew who the song was really for.
Almost, Almost is never enough
So close to being in love
If I would have know that you wanted me
The way I wanted you
And Sam's heart was beating a lot faster than it was a few minuets ago, and she could have sworn that everyone else could hear, because Cat kept giving her that look and she knew she was probably beat red, but so what. Cat was looking at her like she was the best thing on the planet.
And maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each others arms
And we almost we almost know what love was
But almost is never enough
And then with one more look at Sam, Cat backed up while Nathan Stepped forward. But she was still looking at Sam, her eyes never leaving the blondes, and Sam felt like she was on fire.
If I could change the world over night
There'd be no such thing as goodbye
And you'd be standing right where you were
And we'd get the chance we deserved
Yeah, they did deserve a chance, Sam and Cat. With all the problems in their messed up lives? Sam's mom, who cared about nothing, Cat's family who just never seemed to be able to stay with her no matter what. Yeah, the at least deserved each other.
Try to deny it as much as you want
But in times our feelings will show
Cuz sooner or later/ Cuz sooner or later
We'll wonder what we gave up/ We'll wonder what we gave up
The truth is everyone knows
Sam wondered Do other people know? And looking around her question was answered. Tori and Jade were both looking at her, Tori with a knowing expression, and Jade with a cocky I know your secret look.
Almost, Almost is never enough/ Almost, Almost is never enough
So close to being in love/ So close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me/ If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you
And Sam wondered who else knew, and she thought of Nona, who left Cat in the hands of this random girl without really knowing her, but knowing that something good would come out of it. And Dice, who though younger that Sam and Cat still understood what was going on just by looking at them, how they couldn't be in each-others presence for more than 30 seconds without touching. Even Goomer probably knew, Sam thought.
And maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart/ And maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each others arms/ But right here in each others arms
And we almost/ And we almost
We almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough/ But almost is never enough
And then just like that, Sam was sucked out of her thoughts and into the song because Cat's voice was just so strong and she didn't know how that tiny girl could sing like that, but she knew that it was probably the most beautiful sound she had ever heard.
Baby, baby, baby/ Baby, baby, baby
And we can deny it as much as we want
But at times our feelings will show/ But at times our feeling will show
Cuz sooner or later we'll wonder what we gave up/ Cuz sooner or later we'll wonder what we gave up
Truth is everyone knows/ Truth is everyone knows
And Sam had come to two conclusions. The first one: Whatever doubts she had about her feelings for Cat were gone. So was so crazy about that girl it scared her. And two: She had a feeling Cat was smarter than she looked, and that phone wasn't really "forgotten" on the couch.
Almost, Almost is never enough/ Almost, Almost is never enough
We were so close to being in love/ We were so close to being in love
If I would have known the you wanted me/ If I would have known that you waned me
The way I wanted you, babe/ The was I wanted you, babe
And maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart/ And maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each others arms/ But right here in each others arms
And we almost, we almost knew what love was/ And we almost, we almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough/ But almost is never enough
And in her head, Sam was replaying what she would do when Cat got off stage. She would say good job, say goodbye, and go home.
Almost/ Almost
Good job, goodbye, go home.
Good job, goodbye, go home,
Good job, goodbye, go-
Never
And with that final lyric to end the song, Cat gave Sam that, that look once again and her mind went fuzzy and for a second she wondered if Cat was a witch, casting a spell on Sam. But, no, Sam may have been under a spell, but not one of a witch.
And so, after bows and as thunderous as an applause can be with roughly 20 people in a room, Cat hopped of the stage and ran over to Sam. And when asked "How did I do?" by the redhead, all Sam would do was nod and stutter, and manage to say "You sing pretty." like a fool. But it was, apparently, good enough for Cat, who squealed, hugged, and asked Sam to stay for the rest of the day. Because, according to Cat "No one would mind" and the teachers would love to have a "Famous actress sit in at the classes."
And although Sam doubted iCarly had made her a "famous actress," there was really no way for her to say no to Cat and her big brown eyes.
