Chapter 4
"Aw...you guys! you didn't have to stop acting cute!" Carly teased while heading towards her kitchen.
"We weren't doing anything." Freddie mumbled to himself.
"Sure you weren't..." Carly said cheekily to the both of them. Freddie eyes went as wide as saucers. He didn't think Carly had heard that. "Sam, I see you're up. How are you feeling? did Freddie give you the pills yet?" Carly asked as she filled her cup with Wahoo Punch.
"I'm feeling a little better, and yeah I already ate those little nasty things." Sam said as she turned to face Carly in the kitchen. She shifted her body so her back was resting against the arm rest. She brought her legs close to her chest so she could rest her head in between her knees. Now she was completely facing the kitchen, as well as Freddie on the other end of the couch. Freddie turned to face her. She gave him a soft smile and he smiled back at her.
"Okay, when you guys are done giving each other sexy looks, you can tell me what we're gonna do tomorrow! I mean, today! It's a Sunday yeah!!!" Carly chirped as she danced up the stairs with her Wahoo Punch dripping all over. Freddie and Sam glanced at her as she danced her way back to her room.
"That girl is way too peppy in the early hours to be normal." Sam chuckled as she looked away.
"Well, I guess she's just still sleepy. You know we all do weird stuff when we're still sleepy." Freddie said as a matter of factly. Sam gave a humourless chuckle as she rested her forehead between her knees, looking down. Freddie looked at her. He suddenly felt empty when he saw Sam all the way at the other end of the couch, and not with him like how they were a few moments ago. He looked away. Then looked back up at her. He moved nearer towards her. He braced himself and wrapped his arms around her petite figure. Shocked at the contact, Sam looked up with wide eyes. She relaxed when she realised it was only Freddie. She layed her legs across his lap and snuggled closer to his chest. Freddie had one arm around her shoulders and one going across her stomach holding onto her waist.
She breathed in a deep breath before exhaling it. She slowly closed her eyes and tugged on his shirt near his chest.
"Sam?" Freddie whispered.
"Mm?" she mumbled to acknowledge him.
"What did you mean by your emotional pain?" Freddie whispered looking down at her. Her eyes immediately shot back open wide. He felt her body tense and she started to get fidgety. She swallowed hard before stuttering.
"I didn't say anything about my emotional pain." she tried to cover up.
"Yes you did. C'mon, you can tell me. You know you can." he whispered encouragingly at her. Sam didn't move for awhile, she stared down at the couch deciding whether or not to say anything. She opened her mouth, then hesitated and closed it again. It went on for another four times. Before the the fifth time could start, Freddie took her chin with his index finger and thumb and brought her face up.
"Sam, look at me," he said repeating what she did earlier to him. "I really, REALLY, wanna know what you mean. I wanna help you. I mean it was partly my fault you got tazed. If not partly at least indirectly. Now I really want to help you to make up for it." he whispered softly to her. Sam gazed into his eyes and saw the honesty in it. She opened her mouth, then closed it, then opened again. This time, ready to say something.
"I'm hurting alot on the inside. Not my body, but my heart," she said looking away. Freddie put his hand on hers to comfort her. "Day by day, I start to lose every little thing that I have. I already lost my dad to some other skunk bag. I lost my house because of my dad and his skunk bag. Soon because of him, I'm going to lose my mom. After that, my little house, then my school, and ultimately..." she paused. She looked at him and said. "my friends..." Freddie face had confusion written all over it.
"My mom is already a drunken mess herself. My house is barely standing on its walls. My grades are slipping consistently because of my mom and because I couldn't care less about school. And even if I did take interest in it, it's all too late for me now. When I get kicked out of our school, I can't see Carly, Gibby, Germy, or, you..." she could feel a knot forming in her throat, and her eyes starting to sting at the bottom.
"Sam, no." Feddie said before she could say anything else. Imagining it all just hurt him. It hurt him even more because he knows, it's all true. Her mother was a terrible mess. Her dad left her when she was still young. She could get kicked out of school soon and never see them again. But he wasn't going to say all that to her. He wasn't going to admit that what she said was all true or that it would happen. He cupped his right hand on her left cheek and made her look at him.
"You're not going to lose anything or anyone. At all. Or at least, NOT. ANY. MORE." he said determinedly. He wanted to assure her that nothing else would ever happen to her, and that was what he promised himself at that moment. Sam looked into his eyes. She leaned in and gave him a slow soft peck on his lips. She pulled away and looked into his eyes again.
"I...I want to believe you Freddie." she said hesitantly.
"And you can. As long as I'm here with you, nothing can happen." he said confidently. They heard the door knob rattle before opening. The turned their heads around surprised.
"Fredward! What are you doing out of your bed late at night? and what are you doing with that germ infested girl?" his mother yelled quietly at him.
"Mom!" he yelled quietly back. Sam turned her head back around so she was completely not facing Mrs. Benson. She looked down and knew, she was going to lose Freddie soon. Just when they were getting comfortable with each other, something had to happen. She knew Mrs. Benson was going to tell Freddie to go home, get a tick bath, and write a contract for her to never stand within 10 feet of her son. She looked down somemore and felt her breath choke in her throat. She felt her heart squeeze and looked away hurt.
"Fredward Benson! you are to go home, get a tick bath, and I am going to write a contract for her to never stand within 10 feet of you!" Mrs. Benson softly yelled, her eyes flaring at him angrily. As soon as she heard that, she sobbed and looked up at him.
"Don't leave me? just yet?" She whispered with tears forming in her eyes.
Freddie looked at her, then to his mother. His face turned to seriousness. "No."
"What?" his mom asked him incredulously.
"I said no. Not now mom!" He said seriously. "I am going to need you, to leave us alone now mom." he said looking down at Sam. She was still avoiding facing Mrs. Benson and was curled up in a ball on his lap. He could tell she was really scared right now. He heard his mother huff and leave the room into her apartment. He looked up and saw his mother gone. He looked down at Sam and she looked up at him. She leaned up and gave him a peck on the lips.
"Thank you. You were really brave. For standing up against you mother for me." she whispered.
"I would stand up against the world for you." He said lovingly.
