A/N: Hey ya'll! Like I said, I've been busy. Please don't hate me. I wanted to update on account that today is Patriots Day and there's a brand new iCarly, iSAM'S MOM TONIGHT AT 8! It's gonna be good! Can't wait!

Disclaimer: Just making it clear: I DON'T OWN iCARLY!

I dedicate this chapter to all the men and women who serve our country, anyone who has to do with the making of iCarly, and all the readers! Thank you for your support!

Chapter 5: No Matter What

Freddie went to look for me. I knew that because I got a bunch of texts from him asking me where I was. I was sitting on the fire escape. I didn't want to be found. I just hate this. Carly and I are the best of friends. I just don't want that to get ruined by some insane chick.

Just then I heard a knock. I turned to see who it was.

"How'd you know I was here?"

"Door was unlocked."

"Oh." Freddie sat down on the window frame.

"Remember that night?"

"What night?"

"The night we had our first kiss."

"Yes, I've been thinking about it a lot."

"You have?"

"Yeah, it's one of the moments you can't forget, you know?"

"Absolutely," He studied my face for a long moment. "Can I ask you somethin'?"

"Shoot." I knew what he was going to say.

"Is this about more than iCarly?" Okay, he got me.

"Yeah, it's just I think that we won't last long."

"Why?"

"Some people don't think we should be together. You know you're the geek and I'm the tough one. Not an ordinary fit." I walked over there and sat next to him.

"First of all, hurtful. Second, no matter what they say," He looked me in the eyes. "no matter what they do, you were meant for me. Even if you are a psychopath."

"Hurtful." We both smiled. Déjà vu us just sitting there. He kissed my cheek and said everything would be okay.

I admit that I love him. No matter what.

Carly, Freddie and I were up in the iCarly studio going over new ideas for our next web show.

"Okay, should we do a random debate or another Messin' with Lewbert?" Fredwad asked.

"Maybe we should do a random debate. We have done one for awhile," Carly said.

"I agree," I said, "but..."

"But what?" Seriously, I love Carly, she's my best friend, but come on!

"What if Valerie ruins it?" What if? I knew she was going to ruin it.

"Sam." Come on Carls, you know it's true.

"I'm serious, Carly, you know that chunk of chick hates our guts."

"You're right, she could ruin the show."

"Guys," Freddie said. "Don't worry. We'll cross that tightrope when we come to it."

"Tight rope?" Wow, Freddie.

"Aw, whatever." I couldn't help, but smile.

"Aw, whatever." I repeated, mocking him.

"Hey guys!" Spencer came in the iCarly studio. "Someone just called and said for you guys to check out your website comments." Carly and I looked at each other. She was thinking the exact same thing I was. Valerie.

"Who was it?" Freddie said, urgently.

"I don't know, she didn't say." She? We all looked at each other. Freddie went to the iCarly website. Typed in their password. Clicked on the COMMENTS button. One new comment:

Valerie, Seattle

Shocker.

Hey guys. I wouldn't think about doing iCarly tonight. Do iCarly tonight and iCarly is done. For good. Enjoy your little website while it lasts. :)

"Ugh! Why is she out to get us?" I knew part of the reason.

"Isn't it obvious? She hates our guts because she didn't get her own "hit web show". " Freddie looked at me. I looked back. All I could see was the worry in his eyes.

"You know," I said walking over to Fredwad's techy cart. "it just might be the fact that you dumped her."

"It is not! She said she wasn't interested."

"Can you believe anything that comes out of her mouth?" Already knew the answer to that.

"I-"

"Don't answer that," I said.

"Look we don't know why she's here for sure we just know that she's out to get us."

"Thank you captain DUH!"

"Look, Sam you just better-"

"Don't," Carly stopped us before it could turn into a fight.

"Whatever."

"Hey guys!" Spencer said. "I found some onion rings."

"Onion rings? Where?" He put one into his mouth.

"Behind this car." He was about to put another in his mouth.

"Spencer, don't-" I was too late. He had already put the second one in his mouth.

"They are really crisp and-HOT!" He dropped the onion rings, and ran out of the studio.

"Sam, what's wrong with him?" Carly said pointing to the studio door.

"Those are my extra spicy BF wangs I ordered yesterday."

"SAM!" Freddie and Carly said simultaneously.

"What? I'm a hungry girl!"

Freddie was up in the iCarly studio getting ready for the webshow that would happen in the next twenty minutes. The elevator door opened.

"Valerie? What do you want?"

"I just want to apologize for earlier." What crap is she trying to pull?, Freddie thought.

"What do you want?"

"Nothing. Is it so hard to believe I came back just to say hi?"

"Um, YES!"

"Well, I did come back for one other reason."

"And that would be..?"

"I miss you...and me."

"Look, Valerie-"

"You can call me Val if you want to."

"No I don't want to! Sam means the world to me and nothing you can say or do is going to change that. No one can."

"You really think so?"

"Yes, I do think so! And another thing: Why don't you just go back to where you came from and leave me, Sam, and Carly and iCarly alone!"

"Well, I guess you're right."

"I am?" She looked at him. "I mean, I am."

"Can't I just get one more teensy weensy thing before I leave?" I knew it! There's always a catch?

"What do you want, Valerie?" She put a smirk on her face that made Freddie confused. She pulled him into a kiss before he could say anything.

I went upstairs to the iCarly studio. I couldn't wait to see Freddie.

The elevator door opened and I saw something I don't think I was supposed to see.

"Freddie?" They both turned around.

"Sam, it's not what you think."

"Then what is it, Flapjack?"

"She kissed me!"

"You weren't fighting it!" I couldn't really tell, but I know what I saw.

"Sam!"

"Goodbye, Freddie." And, on that note, I headed downstairs. One single tear fell on my cheek.
