"It's been an hour. Should we go and speak to her now?" Sam asked Freddie. They had just had a fight with Carly and she had stormed up to her room. Gibby had told them to give her some space so they had.
"Yeah. She would be calm by now, I hope." Freddie replied. He and Sam then got off the couch and walked hand-in-hand up the stairs. When they got to Carly's bedroom door, they looked at each other, took a deep breath and then Freddie knocked on the door. When no one answered, Freddie opened the door to the biggest shock ever.
Carly and Gibby were making out, both sitting on Carly's bed. Sam and Freddie, not knowing what to do, quickly closed the door and went down to the Groovy Smoothie for a while. When they got there, they quickly got their smoothie's and then went back to Bushwell, but not going up to the eighth floor, just sitting on the staircase.
"I can't believe that they kissed. I mean…. Wow." Freddie said.
"I know. It's so strange. I mean, Gibby… and Carly? I don't get it." Sam said, sipping from her smoothie and shaking her head.
"I wonder if that's how Carly felt when she saw us kissing." Freddie said. Sam's face fell and Freddie knew something was wrong.
"Are you okay Sam?" Freddie asked. She nodded and he gave her his 'I can see straight through your lie. Tell me the truth' look.
"Okay, fine, I'll tell you. It's just, when Carly said that she'd never forgive us, I wonder if she really meant it. I mean, she is one of the only people that have actually stuck around for me throughout my life and when she said that, I figured that maybe I'm not worth having people stick around for me." Sam said, a few tears rolling down her cheeks. Freddie put his smoothie down and turned to her.
"Don't you ever think that. You are worthy to have people stick around for you. And if Carly's going to be mean then she obviously doesn't deserve to be your friend. You are the most, loyal, kind, perfect friend and if Carly can't see that, then that's her problem. She'll just be losing someone absolutely amazing." Freddie said.
"But I'm not any of those things. Except for maybe loyal. I'm not perfect and I'm definitely not kind. I treat everyone meanly. I'm surprised that you even stuck around this long." Sam said, turning away from him only to have Freddie pull her back to face him.
"You are perfect in your own way. Everyone is. And you are kind. Remember that time that time when you helped Carly get Andy even though he did end up getting mauled by a mob of Creddie fans? And remember when you helped me break my mum and Lewbert up? And remember when you offered to hit Steven, the guy that cheated on Carly, with your butter sock? And remember when you kissed me on the fire escape? You are one of the kindest people I know, even kinder then Carly. I mean, she would never hit anyone that cheated on you, she never kissed me on the fire escape. She only refused over and over again. You just said yes. And the reason I stuck around is because I know that you are a good person and that you deserve someone to stick around for you, even if you always fight with that person. I love you Sam. That's got to prove that I'm going to stick around for as long as I can." Freddie said. Sam just started sobbing so Freddie pulled her into a hug and let her cry into his shoulder.
"Everything will be fine Sam. I promise that no matter what happens, you will always have me." Freddie whispered as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her in tight. She nodded against his neck and wrapped her arms around his waist, still crying. They stayed like that, Freddie soothing and holding Sam close for a good half an hour before Sam finally stopped crying.
"Thank you Freddie. That meant a lot." Sam said as she pulled away from him, wiping away the tears.
"Hey, what are boyfriend slash best friends for?" Freddie said. Sam laughed once and then took both of Freddie's hands in her own.
"By the way, I love you too." Sam said quietly. Freddie smiled a dazzling smile and then pulled Sam into a kiss. It only lasted a few seconds, but it made Sam feel better and out of breath from the fireworks.
"How about we go to the fire escape and just sit there and talk for a while until you feel better?" Freddie asked.
"I already feel better, but let's go. By the way, it's our fire escape now." Sam said, smiling.
"I like the sound of that." Freddie said, also smiling. He and Sam then stood up, forgetting about the smoothie's and went to their fire escape. Little did they know, Spencer had been coming up the stairs when they had started talking so he had heard the entire conversation. He felt sorry for Sam and after waiting a few minutes, he walked up to his apartment/loft, planning on telling Carly about how Sam felt so that Carly could fix the mess she had made just by uttering a few simple words.
