You better beware! Beware of the… SAPPY ROMANCE! I know, once again lame, but dude if you thought things were sappy before wait till you read THIS chapter! Also, obviously Spencer's last name is Shay and Gibby's (odd as it is) is Gibson. I just forgot to put that in at the last chapter.
Okay, okay, just one more thing. People who reviewed, story alerted, author alerted, or put this as a favorite story are AWESOME PEOPLE! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! Just keep 'em coming! THANKS! (Don't worry I don't always talk this weird in person that is!)

Chapter 3: Sam Confesses
During the time Gibby and Spencer were preparing themselves for… who knows what, Sam had knocked on the Bensons' apartment door. She knocked again and nobody came. So, being Sam, she let herself inside. She did this by picking the lock with a spare hair pin in her pocket.
As she entered she heard this. "Freddie, it's going to be okay. We just need to talk to Sam, and—"
"There is no talking to Sam!" Freddie exclaimed frustrated.
"We'll get through this Freddie," Carly said as she hugged Freddie tightly around the waist, and he did the same to her.
By this time Sam had found the two, and had witnessed their exchange. "What is going on?"
"Sam, I can explain," Carly pleaded. She slowly let go of Freddie and he did the same with her.
"So, they were right," Sam whispered mostly to herself, feeling defeated.
"Who was right?" Freddie asked a little irritated by the sight of Sam, but hurt by her at the same time.
"Yesterday… before I left school," Sam began, her voice cracking ever so often on words. "Era and her friends told me that you were only dating me to get to Carly. They told me you had never loved me like that and you never would." Sam said small tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
Before Carly or Freddie could say anything Sam bolted out the door. Tears streamed down her face as she ran.
"Sam!" Freddie called after her. He ran almost as fast in an attempt to keep up with her.
"Sam! Freddie! Really? You guys know I can't run very fast," Carly said before she broke into a sprint, as she tried to catch up to her friends.
Stupid Era and her stupid friends! Sam thought to herself as she continued to run. Why was she right? I don't understand this. I mean, I knew Freddie didn't love me, but I thought he was falling in love with me. But I guess not…
Why does she have to run so fast? Freddie thought to himself as he strained to catch up to Sam. Why does she have to run at all? Doesn't she know how much I care about her? Doesn't she know how jealous Era is of her? She would make up all the crap in the world just to upset Sam. If I would have known that Era was the one behind all of this earlier… Well, I guess it doesn't matter now; I just have to fix this before I lose Sam forever.
Sam came to a stop once she was outside of Bushwell Plaza. She screamed out of disgust, anger, and pain. She no longer felt she had to hold in her tears, so she began almost instantly to break down. She shook with the intensity of her tears; small sobs escaped her throat without an invitation. She tried to calm down, but only cried worse when she thought back to her conversation with Era and Era's friends the day before.
"Hey, Sam."
"Hey, Era," Sam had said cautiously. "What do you want?"
"Oh, I just wanted to warn you about that Freddie guy," Era replied nonchalantly.
"Warn me? About Freddie? Are you kidding?"
"No, I'm not kidding. Sure he's a good kid, but do you really think he's your type?"
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Freddie doesn't really love… heck, he doesn't even like you."
"Then, why is he dating me?" Sam had asked rolling her eyes, now face to face with Era.
"To get to your best friend," Era had looked sincere but Sam knew it wasn't going to last.
"You expect me to believe that?"
"Come on, Sam, you know it's true," One of Era's spawns chimed in.
"He only wants Carly. He doesn't need a delinquent to make him happy. I mean, really Sam… who are you kidding?"
"I don't believe you!"
"You will when you get dumped." Era's spawn laughed with her cattily. "I heard him talking to her saying 'I'm going to tell her later.'"
"He was talking about something else; I know Freddie and Carly wouldn't do that to me. They're my best friends."
"Well then, you might have to find some new friends." With that Era had, like when she was with Freddie, spun on her heel and left with three words. "Think about it."
Sam frantically tried to brush away her tears when Freddie, and even Carly, had caught up to her.
"Sam," Freddie said as he took her into his arms. "I loved Carly once but I… I l… I love you now." Freddie said struggling to get the words out.
"Really?" Sam said a few stray tears still on her cheeks. As she looked up into Freddie's eyes to make sure what he was saying was real.
"Really," Freddie answered as he brushed the tears away. He slowly embraced Sam into a tight hug and held her towards him. She immediately did the same, pulling him towards her even though they were as close as they could get at that point.
"Freddie," Sam said as she tilted his head down so their eyes would meet. "I love you, too."
"Aw!" Carly said as she smiled happily. She panted slightly because she was still out of breath from the running and because of her asthma.
"I'm sorry I ever doubted you loved me back. And Carly, I'm also sorry about jumping to conclusions," Sam continued.
"It's okay," Carly answered continuing to smile. "I'm just glad you're both happy now. I get so depressed when I see you guys sad." Carly looked from Freddie to Sam as she thought about what great friends she had.
