Freddie POV

At first I tried to get her to remember me. But my chances became slim when Melanie left for boarding school, she couldn't handle it. Between her mom's drug abuse and Sam not remembering their dad, it was too much for her, so she left. But I can't blame her I don't think I would be able to handle it either. When that didn't work I tried to start an entirely new friendship with her but I guess the only thing she remembered about me was that she liked to pick on me so I became Fredwad, Frednub, Fredalina, Fredalupe, Fredwierd the list goes on and on. A few months in to the year, a new girl came to class, Carly, she moved in a cross the hall with her brother and her Dad. When she and Sam became friends I saw it as my way to still hang out with Sam. All the guys in class had a crush on Carly, I didn't but, it seemed a good cover to slightly stalk Sam hoping one day we would become friends again and I could drop the act but that day never came, until today.

Sam POV

So I'm at an iCarly rehearsal with Carly and Freddork eating a bucket of fried chicken when my phone rings. I put it on speaker phone 'cause Carly can get kind of nosey so I let her listen to my phone calls.

"Excuse me, is the Samantha Puckett, daughter of Pam and Stan Puckett?" asked the voice over the phone

"Umm yeah, I mean yes" this sounded important so I dusted off my good grammar.

"This is Northwest Hospital & Medical Center we have already contacted your sister and mother. We are pleased to inform you that your father has regained consciousness and has asked to see all of you"

At that point I dropped the phone and ran, I just ran. Images and memories were flooding my head. How could I have forgotten my DAD? When I reached the hospital I got to the main desk "Stan Puckett, please"

"Family only" stated the receptionist with a bored look on her face "Are you a relative"

"I'm his daughter" I answered quickly

"He's in Room 375. HEY! No running in the hospital"

But at that moment I don't think a stampede of bulls could have stopped me.

Carly POV

Sam ran out of my house without explanation. What did the lady mean her father? In all the years I had known Sam never once did she mention her Dad. Let alone that she was in a coma. How could she not tell me this? I'm her best friend. I guess Freddie could see the indignation growing on my face 'cause he interrupted my silent inner rant.

"You really didn't know, did you? I thought one of the kids had told you in the fourth grade you just didn't bring it up"

"What don't I know?"

And so he told me he told me everything and I realized I didn't know my best friend nearly as well as Freddie does.
